Scam

I received a call from a person who said I was being sued and that legal papers were being sent to the Sheriff's office for my arrest for an outstanding loan I had gotten from a pay day loan company (CashNetUSA) and that i was in default because I had check bounce on my account. They said the fees were in access of $4000.00 on a $750.00 loan. The first person asked if I had received the legal papers stating this and that I should call the lawyer representing USA Cash Advance. When I call he responded by saying this is Mr. James, not even using his last name.He then told me not to say anything and listen to what he has to say without interruption. No case number, no document number, nothing but a lot of BS coming out of his mouth that you couldn't even understand. I find it very funny that the person is of middle eastern but has a common name such as James Martin. I looked up on the Internet and found numerous post about this SCAM. Don't be fooled by their tactics, no one is going to arrest you and there are no legal papers being filed. I am in the process of contacting the FBI and Attorney Generals Office in California and Texas. This is clearly fraud to the utmost, but many people will get nervous about this and end up sending them large amounts of money. When I tried to question the "so-called" lawyer he would not answer any questions and hung up on me.

I have been receiving harassing calls from a supposed law firm saying that I have a outstanding payday loan that I never received or even applied for. Finally on Wednesday Jan 9, 2013 they had someone posing as the Illinois State Police call my work phone to say call another number or there will be grave consequences if I don't call so I did. The first number was to a supposed National Fraud location in DC. Talking to that person was fruitless because they were not trying to hear what I had to say so I told them to do what they had to do. Then I realized that I had a saved message from the supposed law firm who was handling the case so I called. They switched me around to at least three people before I got to someone who again was condescending, belittling, and just plain rude. Tried to offer me their law services, told me that they would give me a 30 minute to 1 hr extension to come up with the money, and then when I told him that I worked for an international law firm here in Chicago, he called me a liar and hung up in my face. I have numbers, names, and I saved the voice mails that they left on my work phone. What can be done about these scam artists because they harass you at work, on your personal phone trying to get money that you know that you didn't receive and then they add on additional fees and stuff trying to be a legitimate business.

As you know, this is a scam. Your mistake was in believing the guy was from the state police and then calling them.

Ignore them from now on. Or, you could call your local police and ask if anyone in their or any agency they know of is interested in this scam.

I got a call from california saying that I needed to call a Michael Carter,that he was a lawyer for Us Cash advance. I was told I had a case against me that I took out a loan form them and that a sheriff was coming to serve me papers! I knew I had never taken out a loan from this place and when I said that,the Michael guy just hung up on me.If you get a call from the number 415-952-****, its them trying to extort money from you.

SCAM

A man called Alex Cooper called me and said the same thing about $748.00 he said I owed. I told him he was reported to the FBI and the FTC. Their # is 877*-382-**** to report this to the fraud division. I never got another call from this guy. This is a scam from the Middle East. I am not suprised. I knew that I had not borrowed any money so I did not owe it. Do not fall for this scam. They call fromseveral different numbers according to the FTC. Report them so they can be caught and stop this garbage.

Harrassing collection calls

I have been receiving multiple calls from a middle eastern souding man who claims that he's calling from the lega dept of some company which is unaudible on the voicemails he leave. He states that my name and social security number have been entered for a complaint and that if I do not respond that there will be legal action taken. I have called the number provided in the voicemail of (205) 286-**** and I keep getting a recording saying that the number I have dialed in incorrect. I finally was able to anser the phone when this call came in today. The middle eastern sounding man stated tha my name and social was entered by US Cash Advance for a payday loan that I was given and that I had never paid back. I advised the gentleman that I have never received any such payday loan from this company and that I would remember applying with this so called company. The middle eastern sounding man stated that if I didn't repay the loan that I was going to be arrested for theft of a loan. I told the man that I was going to contact a lawyer and persue this matter further and he just hung up on me.

This sounds like scammers trying to scare you into revealing your personal information so they can take your money and run. You should probably speak with your state attorney general office about filing a consumer complaint. Or at least get with the Federal Trade Commission who can advise you more.

My husband received the same call as well. People it is tax season and people are looking for a way to get into you wallet especially terrorist.

Dont be fooled by these phones calls. First letters from collectors must come to you tying to help you resolve the unpaid debt. second they may call you but if you scream harrassment they will stop. The next step is they have to partition the courts.

Once it go's to court they have a right to fail a motion to garnish wages unless each of you come to an agreement.

Please dont let these no speaking english terroris fool you to swindle money so they can build a strong army.

It's a scam. Do not pay them.

If you never heard of them or signed papers then let it go Tell them to show you the papers with your signature on it.

I'll bet they tell you no. Again it's a scam.

Hi guys,

I just received a call from US Cash Advance and some guy name Shawn Davis (213)537-**** ext 616 called me at my home just about an half hour ago. This man claimed I owed the company (US CASH ADVANCE) $398.66 for a loan I supposedly had taken out.

Now granted I did take out a loan but it was with plain green. And my bank just informed me there was only one deposit made from a online lender and that was only plain green. Now I called Shawn Davis back and the man got nasty with me. I told him I don't owe his company any money and that I owe only plain green and we have payment arrangements made.

Shawn told me that US CASH ADVANCE was the mother company. Then I thought to myself I know I didn't go to college but the mother company? So I then asked him "so is plain green the child company"? And he said yes!

Really man? look I know my comment and slash complaint is long but report the number and name to your local consumer's affair agency and if you can. With your phone or cable provider see if you can block the numbers they call you from. And also tell them send you the legal papers.

Don't give out your address or personal info. Just do that and they might hang up on you because they'll realize your not today's sucker for their pockets.

got the same phone calls yesterday . First person told me they was an attorney representing the company and that a law suit has been filed a gainst me for fraud i told them i know nothing about it so i hunged up about 2mins later Another one called sayin he was a police and a whole lot of *** i told them to go ahead and do what they have to do because am innocent of any charges.This is getting out of hand what can i do to stop them??

Guest

I also got numerous phone calls on my cell & at my work. They left my boss numerous messages saying if I knew what was good for me I would contact my lawyer or call them back.

They gave me a number to call on tha voicemail so I called it ain't it wasn't a working number. They call my job every day & leave messages. Fortunately my boss is very understanding about my situation because her brother in law went through the same thing. So they called my phone 2day saying they would put a warrant out for my arrest & I would be arrested in the morning & spend 5 years min in prison.

I asked them my whole account number & he could only give me the last 4 digits I kept asking him 2 give me the whole number & I asked the exact date that the loan was took out so that I could check with my bank & he told me I should know all that information & he hung up.. very rude so I called back & thy kept hangin up on me so I kept calling. Evrytime I called & asked hw much I owed & when the loan was taken out I kept gettin diff dates & amounts so thy hung up again and the man called me a *** so I kept calling... No answer..

thn I called again & told him tht as long as he's calling my job harrassing thm I wuld call and harrass them..

so I've called & left tons of messages.. he told me not to ever call tht number back but he would call me everyday so I guess they got tired of me & turned the phone off

Guest

Good job. It's a big scam.

They get your name and number from the net or any forms you may have filled out.

I had a call like that they are fun to play with. Just know the police will never come for you.
