Today March 8, 2012, I received a phone call stating that I was going to have criminal charges filed against me for a payday loan I did not receive. The caller IDed himself as an employee for Cash Advance USA. I was told I had to make payment arrangements for a $200 payday loan the man told me I had received in January of 2011. I was told that the amount was now well over $300 because of incurred fees. I was also told if I did not make a payment or make payment arrangements today I would be prosecuted for criminal offenses having to do with intentional theft and fraud. 

I told the man I had never received a payday loan from this company and that the companies I did have payday loans with I had either paid off or was in the process of paying them off. He insisted I had received this deposit in January 2011, but could not give me a specific date that the deposit was made or the account the deposit was supposedly made into. 

I could hardly understand what the man was saying partially because of his thick accent and how bad the reception on the phone was. I kept telling him I did not understand all of what he was saying and he kept repeating that if I did not make a payment today I would have criminal charges brought against me. I started getting very angry and told him I would have to research this for myself.

He hung up on me. I called back and spoke with a woman stating I owed $386. I told her my bank had checked the bank records and there had never been a deposit from Cash Advance USA. She said it was from a child company she named several companies and one of them was Plain Green Loans which has already received monies from me and we had set up a payment plan. The woman I spoke to could not give me any information about this debt. I asked for a case number and was given one.

I asked for the phone number of the company that had forwarded the case to them. I was told that calling them would not do me any good and they would not be open until Monday March 12, 2012. I was also told I had 17 charges pending against me and that I had until Monday March 12, 2012 to give them a decision or be served with papers. It looks like I will be making calls on Monday to find out what kind of scam is being run on me.

He tried the same thing with me.  If you tried to get a payday loan online during late 2010 or early 2011, you probably happened upon one of his sites.  He sets up phony payday loan sites to get your information.

Over the next few months, you will receive constant harassing and threatening phone calls from him.  Don't worry, he can't actually act on any of the threats he makes.  He will threaten to send the police to your work and have you arrested.  He will also threaten to sue you.  I live in Indiana and he told me I was going to have to hire a lawyer and go to California for the trial.

All you really need to do is watch your credit reports in case he tries to put anything on them.  You should also call any banks you may have an account with and and have them change your account numbers.
