Cash Advance America
Complaint
Roderic Horton
Country: United States
I just rec'd a call from a man named Peter Black and his email is peterblack@laywer.com in St. Petersburg FL claiming that I took a loan over a year ago for $500 and that I would be put behind bars by the Frisco Police Department if I didn't pay today. He also, had my last 4 of my social security and told me that they would investigate the matter once I paid the money. I guess I'm going to have to take my chances on that. Also, his phone number is 727-827-8214 which is probably a ghost number. I asked for the company and he said "The State Investigation Department". Really? That's it? I"m going to call the local BBB and police to file a complaint on these people. Oh, the funny part is, he told me to wait at my house on Friday and that the Police will be here to pick me up! LMAO!!! I wish I would!!!!!!! Oh, and he had a Indian Accent! LOL!

They usually get information when people "apply" to a fake "payday loan" website, that sells it to these scammers, or is actually run by the scammers.
Contact the FBI, who can verify that this is a scam, although it isn't practical for them to do much to catch them. That should at least give you some peace of mind.
They are not likely to actually do much with your information other than try to use it for extortion, but you can put a fraud alert on your credit reports by contacting any of the 3 CRAs to report compromise of your information with potential fraud risk. The CRA you contact will verify your identity, put a 90 day fraud alert on your credit reports, and pass the request to the other 2 CRAs.
As with any anonymous harasser (or stalker) cut off all contact. If they were geographically near you, you would contact your local police, but since these crooks are usually oversears, take the above actions, then become unreachable by changing your phone numbers with no listing or forward, changing your email, shutting down or limiting access to social sites, etc. Warn friends or family about this scam, and tell them to immediately hang up if called.
These creeps are looking for vulnerable, naive, easy victims, so don't be one, and they will generally move on to someone else.
