CASH ADVANCE USA FOREIGN SCAM ARTISTS WITH ALL YOUR PERSONAL INFO!!! Internet, Internet

11/08 2011

Cash Advance Usa just tried to scam for $350.00! I received a call this morning from a foreign man, saying he was with the Department of Financial Investigation. He had ALL my personal info, my ssn, my bank information, place of employment, everything!!! Saying my ssn has been put on hold for non-payment of a loan, three weeks ago. This is how i KNOW it was a scam:

1. when i told him i never took out a $300 loan and that i never received any such funds, he said indeed i had and i have to hire a lawyer and appear in court! I said, if i asked YOU for a loan, what makes u think i can pay an attorney?! He said i had two choices, either i can settle outside of court and pay them $350, or i can go to jail! WHEN has ANYONE ever went to jail for a collection???!!!

2. Then when i refused to pay a dime, he got INSTANTLY irate, and threatened to call my manager and that they will come and get me on my job. Then, HUNG UP ON ME!

3. When i called the number on my ID back ( 347-827-3814 by the way) a completely different person answered, but already KNEW who i was, then i asked him what financial institution did they have down for me, and he asked, "What do u mean, financial institution?" Like....REALLY??!!! How can you possibly be a financial investigator, and NOT KNOW what that is!!!

4. Lastly, i asked where would i need to appear in court, he said Federal Court Of Illinois. I asked where that is, he laughed and said he would send me the info in the mail with the date and time as well as which courthouse.......But I thought it was the Federal Courthouse of Illinois!!!!!

SCAM!! SCAM!! SCAM!!!

But now i have to keep an eye on my account until i close it next month, because they have ALL my information!!! I'll keep you all posted!
