I recieved a phone call at work TODAY 12/16/2009 from a Mr Jones. He started the conversation by saying I was being takin to court from Cash Advance USA for getting a $300.00 loan initially and when they tried to debt my account for re-payment they had 6 returned Checks and stated I was being prosecuted for writing bad checks and basically stealing this money. He told me I had a right to an attorney and if it went to court Id pay over 8,000 in fines and fees. He then told me the client is willing to resolve this outside of court but first I had to send an apology letter to them stating that I indeed did owe this and Iam sorry for not re-paying this when I agreed and I that I give them permisson to debt my account for $1045.37. I then told him before I say anything further I was going to check my bank account for this transaction because If I owe it Ill pay it but Im 100% sure this transaction never took place. He then told me I had 30 minutes to return a call to him.
I called my bank and the particular Month he said this transaction took place my account had not even been opened. I have yet to return his call but Iam to give him the information. It just doesnt add up. The scarey thing is he had all my bank account information, IP address, Referances that I have used in the past, Social Security Number. Dont know how but he did.
He also said prior to our conversation had I been contacted about this issue and i told him NO ! He said well dont interupt me and let me exsplain that is when he began to tell me all this.
The account number he gave me was CA98859 for the claim, 916-458-5665 was the phone number he left for me to return his call.
No one fall for this it is 100% a complete Scam into getting you to pay these rediculous amounts by telling you your going to be takin to court and end up paying thousands.

Heres what I did

SUBMITTED: Monday, February 11, 2013
But ultimately you need to just take the power from them and find out what your rights are for.
1. One of those rights is they have to provide you a written validation of debt listing details of the debt and send it to you.
2. They CAN NOT use profanity on the phone with you.
3. They CAN NOT ask for money in unreasonable terms. (such as pay me in 1 hour).
4. They CAN NOT misrepresent themselves (such as saying they are with a company when they are really not...)

My experiences with this and additional information about my response
AUTHOR: Bob Williamson - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, February 09, 2013
They claim that the lawsuit being filed was from cash advance usa and said that they had given me a advance in the past and tried 6 times to get funds from bank account number I gave them (which was "fraudulant") and they demanded me to pay them within a hour $975.45 ON A PREPAID OR OTHERWISE UNTRACEABLE EFT METHOD.
In general when I would ask questions or ask them to send me a validation of debt, they would raise thier voices and start cursing at me and hang up. I would call them back to try to figure out if this was real and they would answer the same number multiple times.
They threatened me with embaressment for me from my family and my job finding out about this.
They also tried to threaten me with "if you don't pay me now then tomorrow am we will have some people at your house to arrest you." They also said that if they had to file lawsuit, it would cost me $3000+ and 6 months in jail.
I DID NOT pay them because I was making another call to my lawyers office and they said that they have never heard of this and they do bankruptcies.
I would have hung up with them at that point in time but they were threatening my job and I had to file a report with my company's security officer.
I had to do some things because my companies security officer said I needed to.
1. I contacted the FBI in springfield and filed a report,
2. The FBI asked me to call the Federal Trade Commission who said that this operation IS being investigated.
3. I called and left message with IL states attorneys office to tell them of this scam.
4. I also filed a fraud alert with my credit.
The FTC said that they did all this wrong on several points...
1. They misrepresented themselves as who they are
2. They ARE NOT supposed to use profanity in collecting a debt
3. They CAN NOT ask for money and payment in a rediculous time fram such as 1 hour.
4. They are legally supposed to send a validation of debt in writting (they said that they would send it to my company)
I also understand from my experiences that ...
1. If they were filling a lawsuit, then I know that they would have to send me notification FIRST before they did anything and I have a right to get my own lawyer.
I am sending this story to you because if they called me then they have hit other people around too. See the following website ...
http://www.ripoffreport.com/cash-services/cash-advance-usa-com/cash-advance-usa-complete-s-aad47.htm
If others could benefit from this warning getting out on public airwaves that this scam is apparently in the area then my experiences could help others. .

Cash Advance Usa
AUTHOR: Jaxon - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, February 24, 2012
I am working on my college assignment, when I take a break and check my cell phone. I received not one but three calls from PCS ( a collection agency) and they left one message urging me to contact a Thomas Williams about an overdue payday advance. I returned his call many times to try to explain that I never received a payday advance loan of any sort. He first claimed it was done in May of 2010 and again in August of 2011. He had my social security number, my name and cell number, and my girlfriend's name.
The account information he had was from a reported lost/stolen prepaid debit card account with greendot. I alleged received a loan of $597.60 that he wanted to settle out of court for $300 dollars.
I checked with greendot and verified the information. I called back and talked with thomas' supervisor Adam and explained what happened. Adam would not give me the number to Cash Advance Usa, he told me to go online to www.cashadvanceusa.com. I came up with a blank page. I did a google search and found under the search.........this scam. I called Adam back and told him that I knew it was a scam he was involved in and that if I received further calls about this matter I would be forced to contact the authorities.
I hope no one else will have to deal with this like I have and the many others before me have.

Cash Advance USA Scam
AUTHOR: annonymous - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, November 14, 2011
I tried to get their #, but on the website you can only email, which I did back to back about 5 times and also sent one regular.
To my suprise I got a call from an Annette ( the company name is now Cash advance now) They are aware of this scam. She verified I had no loan on file and confirmed that it was a scam!! She gave me her # of 888-663-6030 which I called back to verify was a good # which it was. She said if he calls back demand in writing, say to contact your attorney, etc. Do not give any info, ask them to verify what they have on file...more than likely they have last 4 of ssn, and bank acct #. I made the mistake of not asking so I can only guess that they have mine....be careful!!

He named off all of my information (last four of social, bank account number, etc.). He says they will contact my work and I will be fired within 2 days and within 3 days I will be served papers to be in court in California.
Yes, I do have an online loan with a company, but not Cash Advance USA. Everytime I tried to explain to the man that I didn't have an account with them, nor did I apply for a loan with them, he was very rude.
He read me my work phone number. I hung up on them several times. A few minutes later, I get a call that shows as my work phone number on the caller id. I answer the phone and it was the same man that said Is this your work number. I hung up again.
I get several of these calls everyday. I have learned that it does no good to argue with them and when I told them I know it is a scam, that did no good either. Now I just let my calls go to voice mail when I know it is them. I don't know what else to do.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
By the way, this guy claims he works for the law firm representing the company that is suing me. He has a really strong accent, as do all of the people you hear talking in the background. The number they call me from is 661-675-3875.

I too have received an email from a person doing this. According to the FBI, if you ahve ever applied for a payday loan online or offline, those companies DO sell your information.

They were very rude and tried to get any money they could. I'm not going to give them a dime, I told them I could prove to them by my bank records that I did not receive any money.
How long before they give up and quit calling? They are really starting to make me angry.

Cash Advance USA
AUTHOR: Nikita9d - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, January 12, 2011
I literally just received a call from Cash Advance USA. A man stated that I had taken out a payday advance loan in the amount of $350.00. I informed the man that this must in fact be fraud because I had never taken a payday advance loan from their company. The man the stated that he was going to transfer me to his supervisor who then informed me that charges were about to be pressed against me for fraud. I asked him the specific date the money was supposidly deposited in my account. The only information the man could provide was October 2010. He told me the name of my bank and the last four of both my bank acct number and my ssn. What the man didn't know was that I while he was on the phone giving me his speech I actually went online to my online banking page. I had no deposits ever from their company. I then informerd the man that I had never received such a loan and that he needed to provide me with the number to cash advance usa so that i could call them and fax over a copy of my transactions for the month of October so that they'd see they must have the wrong person. The man then became rude with me and told me that he couldn't give me the number because now I had to deal with him, that law enforcement was going to show up at my from door to arrest me for skipping out of a loan. I told him that there was no need to get rude; that I'm sure plenty of people gets loans they don't pay back but I'm not that person and that all I was attempting to do is get the specifics so that I can get to the bottom of this. He then started getting louder with me and ended the call screaming have fun in jail and hu. I immediately began searching for cash advance usa's actual telephone number when I came across this article. I then knew that omg they were attempting scam me. It's scary because of the little information they do know but it would've been even scarier had I actually believed them. Honestly if anyone actually finds cash advance usa's phone number I would love to call them to give them a piece of my mind. The number they called me from is: 760-383-1867----SCAM ARTISTS
This is known scam and has been all over the news - these individuals hacked into cash advance sites and stole all the information - Now they call up people pretending to be attorneys, law enforcement, court officers in order to scare an individual into thinking they will be sued or arrested
If these idiots call back let them know YOU know it is a scam

You must have missed the part when I said I was 100% sure that the transaction I was being accused of never took place.
But just being on the safe side I did all my research to indeed prove I had never made this transaction, by getting my bank statements to have so that if for whatever reason Iam takin to court I have proof that there was never any deposit of this $300.00. No need to panick on my end other than the fact that some stranger has alot of my personal information. So now Iam going to take all the correct steps into protecting this and letting the proper people know whats happened.
Iam just trying to make others aware, dont fall for this......

What I notice here is that you didn't say that you never took out the $300 loan.
My guess is you took it out and are now panicked because they found you.

Time to guard your identity
AUTHOR: Flynrider - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, December 17, 2009
It has become clear from numerous reports of this scam, that the scammers have come into posession of a large amount of personal information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, references, bank acct. numbers and social security numbers. Most of those reporting the scam indicate that at some time in the past, they filled out an online loan application. My guess is that these scammers have obtained (most likely illegally) a large database of this personal info.
While these particular scammers are only using the info to try to make themselves appear to be a legitimate collector, that does not mean they couldn't sell the info to some other criminal when they are done with it. The amount of information they are revealing on these phone calls is enough to allow anyone to steal your identity.
If you've received one of these scam calls, you should consider your identity to be at risk. I highly recommend going to the FTC's identity theft website and taking the precautions outlined there :
