I didn't receive a call...I received an email attachment which was an "affidavit" saying that charges were being filed against me for check fraud, theft by deception and violating federal bank regulations. Just as you all were told, the email attachment said I got a loan from this company in the amount of $698.18 and didn't pay it back. They also said if I didn't resolve the loan I would be arrested and have to pay more than $5200 in bail, court costs and late fees. Then it went on to say that if I couldn't afford an attorney, the company would provide one for me. How sweet! What's scary is that they had my full social and my bank account number. However, the United States District Court watermark didn't look authentic and when I went on their website: cash-advances-usa.com they didn't have any contact info. No name, address, email...NOTHING. I even went so far as to call my bank and see if Cash Advance USA had deposited any money into my account ever and of course they said no. According to this affidavit, as of 3pm today they will be downloading my file to the FL county court and the FL local sheriff. At first, I was scared out of my mind but after calming down and doing a little research, along with reading your stories, Robert Randall DeCloss (who signed the affidavit) is a scam and so is this company who's trying to scheme money from us. So thanks for your stories. They really helped...which is why I'm sharing mine. Hope it helps someone.

    The same exact thing happen to me this past week.  I had a feeling this was a scam because I tried caling the office, it went right to voice mail. If this was truly a law office someone would have anwsered the phone immediately. On my affidavit, the ss# is wrong.  Seeing the wrong ss#confirm my gut feeling that this was a scam. Thank you for your story.

    I received an email from this same person with an affidavit from the IRS stating I havent paid my taxes on time and was being sued. I've never had to pay taxes before and when I called the number there was no official IRS recording and his voicemail didn't sound professional, like when you call into other IRS departments. That's what promptes me to Google the name. Glad I came across this page!!
