Advance America Cash Advance Reviews

Upon entering the store was greeted with a smile welcomed. Asking for the details on how things go about getting loan. It was explained very well giving the details of how things will work. I will recommend them to anyone that is looking for a loan.

I have to applaud Rhonda for her awesome customer service. I just relocated from Miami, Florida to Houston, Texas and needed some extra cash to get me by until payday. Rhonda was professional and her follow up skills were above and beyond. Rhonda made me feel at home. Also Juan was a great help as well. He as well, made me feel comfortable during my experience at Advance America. Both individuals provided the type of service that needs to be practiced throughout the world. The service Rhonda and Juan provided was natural and appreciated. I thank them both for assisting me with my cash advance.

The branch closest to my home, has the most professional employees. Several times in the last couple months, online loans has caused me some trouble. & these ladies go above & beyond trying to get everything figured out for me. One day, one employee worked on my account for at least a couple hours. Not to mention this past week, there was an problem with my bank & again this employee knew how much this bank issue would hurt me with no foreseen warning. She called everyone & had the issue fixed almost the minute I showed up immediately after I left work. Even though it was almost time for her to close up, she never tried to rush me or hurry me out the door. I'm so glad I found this location!!

My check was deposited and cleared my credit union a week ago but still has not cleared your system??? So can't reup until it does. Don't make sense. Now doors are locked middle of the day. Not good system or management. Employees go by your rules so not their fault.

I applied for a loan, told them that I get paid around the 12th of each month specifically the second Wednesday of each month. After everything was finalized they said my loan would become due on the 9th. I pleaded with them to wait until after the 2nd Wednesday that they will get paid. That I didn't want to be in default with my bank. They play with me. I went into default. I have went with other payday loan companies and they complied. Please do not apply with this company.

About 12 pm May 3, 2018 my mother who is 73 and had no mobility in her leg was trying to make a payment. She was in the car but was unable to come go inside. She sent her daughter with the money and the check so that it could be rewritten but was unsuccessful. The lady told me that she had to come in. She has been a customer for a long time and never had a problem with her legs before now. I understood everything the lady or cashier was saying, she has gone to other check cashing facilities and they came to the car and let her sign the papers and let her rewrite her check.

I received a call from someone with a thick Indian Accent on 04/09/2018 asking me if I was still looking for a loan. I said yes, so he proceeded to tell me that I was approved for $5k. I said I did not want that much, I only wanted $600.00, to which he replied that the minimum was $1500 to be paid back at $70 a month for 24 months. I figured it out and it only came to about $156 in interest which I thought sounded great (too good to be true actually). He then verified all my information which most of which he already had including my address, and the last 4 #'s of my bank account. Which I did not think of as odd as I had been looking for a loan.

This is not regarding the real Advance America... these two guys, Roger & Richard pretend that they are from there... Geez, I got royally screwed. Roger/Richard called me regarding a loan, since I needed one and my credit is bad I went for it. They sent 500 as a mini loan to upgrade my credit with them. I had to send the money back via a Steam Card. Everything ok, then the next day they say that I need to show 200, then 300... at midnight I will get the loan and monies sent. Guess what... I'm still waiting. They don't answer or respond to text.

I needed a short term loan. I went to Advance America to get a short term loan for an unexpected bill. I took two lien free auto titles with me to use as collateral. Both vehicles had $5,800 in equity between the two of them. I applied for 30 day loan in the amount $2,300.00 loan, an interest rate of 345% and a finance charge of $2,980.00. I also just filed my taxes and present them proof of a tax refund in the amount of $6,000.00 payable in 14 days. They took the information I provided them. Went to the computer, clicked a couple buttons, handed me a piece of paper that said DECLINED. Now wait a minute. I gave these people the GREEN LIGHT to rip me off with an absurd amount of Interest Rate with a astronomical finance charge and I present them 2 lien free vehicles exceeding the value of this loan and they DECLINE it??? This loan would be any reputable Lenders DREAM! Fools. I'll never go back.

They're based out of India or Pakistan using phone number **. Out of Buffalo, NY which it isn't. They offer 10,000 loans asking you to buy Google play cards for 758 dollars. Then decline you the loan and have already used your play cards asking for verification on back if a guy named Steve ** contacts you which is not his real name. Hang up. It's a major scam!!!

I've used Advance America numerous times and they've ALWAYS done a fantastic job. The other reviews I've read doesn't sound like they're dealing with Advance America. I've never been asked to get a gift card or anything like that. You apply for the advance. Give them a check for the amount of your loan plus their fee. Example for ($500 loan = check for $566) you pay them back on the day your loan is due and that's all. The location in Yukon, Oklahoma is great and their employees are helpful and friendly. They go out of their way to help you if they are able. If you need an advance in a hurry I'd recommend you give them a call.

My wife took out a title loan to help with bills when she got sick. I found a decent paying job and the title payments were paid. The mistake my wife made was paying by money order and sliding the money order under the door before they opened. For two months she did this and in November 2017 a tow truck arrived at our house to repo our car. They took the car straight to a company to sell. We filed an emergency chapter 13 to get our car back. Even the repo man said that this company repos people’s cars even when they pay them. He also said they are known to lose people’s payments and claim they didn’t pay. Please if you can, stay away from title loans. Definitely stay away from Advance America Cash Advance on West Market Street in Johnson City, TN.

I was clipped by Advance America Scammers for $6,000. I believe that someone on the inside of Advance America is selling personal info because these guys already had my info & knew the amount of the loan I had recently applied for. Advance America is hiding behind a warning notice rather than policing their employees.

Keep getting calls from same people telling me been approved for 5000.00 loan. Bottom line to everyone if anyone wants money it is a scam. Do not do it. Is not just Advance America. There are other companies wanting online bank info. One wanted me to take picture of check on my fone and send it to him. Not that stupid. Too many online loan scams. If anyone gonna give you loan will not be upfront money. They will just verify everything and put money in your account. It is that simple.

I applied for a loan, Mr. FRANK ** said that I WAS APPROVED FOR $5,000 INSTALLMENT LOAN. Mr. ** texted me the instructions to send $300.00 in iTunes on the cards and my loan will be deposited within 20 minutes. Well as of this day I still haven't received anything. I tried calling Mr. ** about the refund of my $300, but I only get his voice mail. Something need to be done about these people. I trusted them with my money and now I can't get it back. I want my refund. I still have the cards and all the texts from Mr. FRANK **.

I travel around 80 miles round trip to continue my business with Advance America in Cheboygan MI, reason being the two women I deal with are wonderful. I consider the girls friends and they go out of their way to make me feel that the trip is worth it.

I received a text message on Fri. Nov. 3, 2017. I DID not nor have not applied for a loan with Advance America! I do not know how they got my ph number to text me (needless to say, I DID not call them at all for a loan). So if anyone gets an email or text message along the same lines, please, please do not fall for it! It is a scam!!! Just delete it!

This company sent me a email stating that I was qualified for a $5000.00 loan. Had no idea what was going on. Never asked for any loan. They continue to call me and text me. I finally called the number back. They said I got a loan but first they needed to verify some information. Yeah right, started off with a address I hadn't live at in 4 years and then after all of that they requested for my username and password to my online banking. RED FLAGS went up fast. Don't be scammed by this company. There's other ways to get a loan.

I had been searching online for a loan. I had filled out several different applications within the past two weeks or so. Yesterday (10-31), I received an email from a company with pdf showing I had been approved for a loan in the amount of $7000, and monthly payments would be $275 for 28 months. Then I started to receive text messages from a 626 area code regarding this loan. This person immediately asked what bank I use. I found that a little odd, but not tremendously out of the ordinary. Then I started to wonder, why is the "loan officer" texting me from the same exact number on the "loan" documents?

I used this company a LONG time ago for a couple of payday advances. Which I paid off in a timely fashion. I still have the screenshots of everything. I am constantly getting calls/voicemails to my cell phone (that I never gave them). Literally 4-7 voicemails A DAY! I have blocked the number on my phone so now I just get instant voicemails that are all blank. When I google the number that called me, it says it belongs to Advance America.

I received this email today... from Edwin **. Loan Account Number:-#**. "We are talking about loan amount of $400.00 that you took from the company ADVANCE CASH AMERICA which has now gone up to $975.00. The total payoff balance is $975.00, however due to bad debt we do have a Settlement offer available for you, if you can come up with the initial amount of $400.00 by October 6th 2017, this account will be marked as paid in full and you can avoid the legal consequences. If you want to resolve the issue, kindly accept the Settlement offer, so that we can suggest you the mode of payment accordingly." I used to work for Advance, didn't take out a loan... Thanks.

A borrower fraudulently used my phone number for a loan. Three times I tried to reach an operator to address this. Both times I was on hold for over an HOUR and still had no one pickup. I couldn't get through. I understand they need to call a lot to try to collect, that's the nature of the business but I believe the hold times are a scam to get people to not call back. Ludicrous! I can't get this addressed. Now I have some collections attorney firm calling as well that I can't reach. I am writing the BBB about this. This has gone on for almost a year.

I received a call from a man in Illinois with the number 779-400-0927. He said he was calling from Advance America Inc. He told me I was approved for 5000.00 and asked what I needed it for. I explained bills, car repairs. He then said he would send my app to the underwriters. He came back to the phone said I was denied cause of my credit score which is over 600. He then said they will deposit 900.00 to 1500.00 into my account, I need to go to Walmart with my debit card, send the money back to them and then they will update my FICO score in 2 hours then deposit the actual loan I qualified for in the amount of 5k by tomorrow morning.

Money is very tight, as I was laid off of my job in May. My credit isn't that great either. I searched online for loans with bad credit. I received an email with Loan docs and a text message from what APPEARED to be Advance America. A well-known lender. I called the number listed on the text, stating that I was approved for $4000-$5000, Daniel **. Advance America **. "Daniel" had a thick foreign accent, as did his supervisor "Scott". They told me funds would go into my account the next day, but first I had to go to Walmart, and PURCHASE $250 in Apple iTunes gift cards to verify I am able to make the $250 monthly payments. I told "Daniel" I don't have $250, that's why I need a loan! I could barely understand these guys. He said if I could come up with $250 cash, then he would hold my application a few more days.

Got the offer for $5000 from SC and TX from Advance America, did not apply with them but did applications for loans online. They had all my info, ssn, banking info. Anyway Alex ** lol because his accent was Indian said I didn't have mobile deposit so I would need to put $175 on prepaid cards at Walmart. Alex also asked if I could use someone else's bank account! I told him no. He was so adamant about when I would be going to Walmart and assured me it wasn't a scam even though I didn't ask. He also asked if I was single and wanted to know my social media accounts. He placed me on hold several times and at this point I had an idea of what was up and knew it was a scam. I'm still receiving text messages from various numbers. Googled the company for reviews and behold! Go with your gut people, don't let these ** take you for a fool in desperate times!

I applied online for a loan, I received a call on 7/26/2017 from Mr. Daniel ** from Advance America in New York, saying Congratulation I was approved for $1000.00 and I said I needed less than that and he said minimum $500.00 but he ask me for something weird, online username and password and since my credit is low he said they needed to increase it first, what he did was deposit two checks one of $881.00 and told me that I had to refunded to make sure I will pay back, and the way was buying iTunes cards with the amount of $880.00 and give the password of the cards then another check of $1921.00 and that I have to return it or else would have legal problem, so I purchase another iTunes cards and took pictures and send it to the following #** and the company fraud Advance America number is **.

On July 13, 2017, I was contacted by a man with an accent, who identified himself as Nick **, loan officer, with Advance America, responding to my request for an application for an installment loan. He had all my personal and financial information as he read it off to me. During our conversation, he advised me that I had been approved for a $2,000 installment loan with monthly payments of $197.00 for a 12-month term. However, in order to get the loan, I had to go through a verification process, which he said was in accordance with the rules governing the Federal Trade Commission. He stated the $100.00 verification costs was not a fee and that he was only looking for a code reflecting the purchase of a pre-paid card to prove I had $100.00 on the card. This really peaked my suspicions.

Applied for a payday loan. I was contacted by email saying I was pre-qualified for up to $5000. But first my credit score needed to be raised. Manager Ray ** said the accounting department would deposit $950 into my account and that I would have to pay back via a MoneyGram and that would raise my credit score. Sounded odd but I was desperate so I did it. No loan & $950 negative in my bank account. The money they deposited was a ghost check and came back as unpaid so my bank charged me. Now I am in more debt thanks to Advance America Cash Advance. DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THESE LOW LIVES. It is all A SCAM.

Sometimes, during these tough economic times, hard working and honest people will attempt to erase financial debt out of sheer desperation and hope that someone will help them. Cash Advance America will make false promises, give you their word and rob you blind without any remorse for doing so or any heart. These heartless individuals will make you go to Walmart, Walgreens or 7/11 stores, make you purchase iTunes cards, put money on them and give them the code on the back of the card with the promise (no paperwork to sign in advance) of putting $money$ into your checking account or debit card.

Advance America called me and said I was approved for up to 5000 cash loan. I had to Western Union them 75 dollars then they said they needed to get my credit report fixed which still isn't. They ripped me off another 450 dollars, now they are demanding another 450 for verification and still no loan. I told them I wanted and they still fail to give, numbers are from Missouri and California. If any attorney can help with no fees please call **. The number that keeps calling me is a 209 number, his name is Johnny. If anyone could be of help no fees call me.

I initially took a payday loan in December, 2016 in Bealeton VA. My first payment of 65.00 was made in cash. Around 1-28-2017 Elaina sent a card via mail stating that she was going to deposit the check for the remaining balance. I wasn't concerned because I knew it would clear. I did not receive any notices or phone calls of any missed payments during the months of Feb-April 2017. The first week of April 2017 I received a receipt for the check payment along with an refund for a 65.00 for over payment for the cash payment. I had spoken to Elaina the same day I received refund and receipt. Elaina gave me a phone number to call for a date I would be able to take out another loan if I wanted.

I have been searching online for several days to get an emergency cash loan. I thought I hit the jackpot when I got a email with long documents stating that I was going to have $5,000 monthly payments of $120, etc... the loan documents looked just like any other loan document. Something just didn't feel right after I tried to call the number which was +1-786-378-6675 from a guy named Daniel **. It just rang busy. So then I Googled Advance America and Ashley called their 800 number and they proved it was a scam. He goes with **. Had I notice he had a Gmail account from the beginning I would have never even thought that was real but of course I tried to email it and there's no such an email address so all of you if you're going through Advance America there is no such thing as Advance America Cash Advance. Please be careful.

I recently experienced some financial hardship and I was trying to find a way to consolidate or just pay off some bills. Applied for a loan on site that was suppose to help you connect with lenders who are willing to approve loans even if you had bad credit. My credit score has only recently plummeted. It was 700+ for a long time. I've experienced fraud before through my iTunes account and also online purchase where PayPal wasn't a option and I used my Debit Card. Moving I didn't have any luck finding a lender that would give me loan.

I received an email stating I could get a loan from $1000 to $10000. I decided to go for 5000. They verified information for personal as well as banking. I thought Advance America was a reputable company. So went along. So when they said they would deposit 1000 and then I would send it back I thought it sounded strange. Then they asked me for my banking info on my phone app. I said it would not work since I bought another phone. That is true but what kind of idiot did they take me for. I said I would have to find the info in my password book. The 2 people I spoke to had a thick Indian accent. I hope they don't try and get money from my account. I don't have much and I am retired. If you see an email from Advance America, call your local company. These people I spoke with are scammers and lowlifes.

This Advance America is a fraud people. This guy had this woman call from South Carolina she sounded foreign. I was talking to her for about 15 min she began to quote back to me my bank info, home address, my name and so on .The number they called me from was **. She then asked me to hold on and she put me on the phone with a man with a middle eastern accent. I began to be suspicious, not because of the accent but the method I had to do to get the loan for 5000.00 dollars. He asked that I put up 230.00 to begin the transaction of 5000.00 to be deposited. Anytime someone is asking you to put money up to get money there's fraud going. His last name was. Told me how much my monthly payments were going to be, 238.88 a month.

I was desperate for money, and my husband filled out for payday loan online and was declined. The next day a text came saying we pre approved for 1500$ loan, so we be thought it was God answers our prayers. We called the number from South Carolina and talked to a Jeffrey **, he had a heavy Indian accent. He said we are going to have 1500$ put in our account but because our credit score was low we needed to show we can make the 1st payment. He said they would not touch it. They just need to see it in there. We didn't have any money so he said he would wait until Friday when my husband got paid. I didn't like the sound of that, so next day I called them and asked for their website because he said he was Advance America. So I looked up the website and it didn't say Advance America it said, instantgetpaydayloan.com, and at bottom I looked at their address.

I have read other reviews about this company... First off, I know this company is legit. Everything that I have read on here about this company isn't actually this company you dealt with, but scammers posing as representatives for this company. I got caught up in this scam myself, before researching and finding out what was going on. The real company? They were awesome when I called them to report the fraud. They were very helpful in pointing me in the right direction. They started a case for me, and had me give the local police department my case number with them.

I applied for a personal loan. I was contacted by Advance America stating that I had been approved for $1000.00 to $5000.00. When I spoke to them they advised that I would need to show that I could pay my loans faithfully based on my fico score being less than a 700. I went and got the Itunes cards and repeatedly kept asking if this was a scam, I was advised by Jennifer that this was a legit. After I did the $200.00 in cards and they stated they verified all funds they had me on hold for about 7 minutes and then came back on the line to advise me that about $300.00 for necessary for documents. I advised that I did not have it and they told me that I had to pay it or I would not get the loan.

This place is a total scam. Luckily I found this website in time to realize the mistake I had made and get my account closed out. I got a call saying I was approved for a 5k loan I had been applying for (not through this company). I really needed the money for debt consolidation. So I called back and talked to a man with a very thick accent. Everything sounded normal at first we went over payments, interest rate, loan term. Then when he asked me about my credit score. I started getting a bad feeling. I told him my score and he said I needed loan insurance. I asked how much this insurance was going to cost me. He said nothing. That they would include it on the loan but that it would have to be deposited into my account and then I would have to pay the company myself and then my loan would be transferred once the payment was confirmed. I knew something was wrong but my brain didn't fully connect the dots until it was too late.

I received an email with a loan approval contract attached yesterday. The loan was for $5,000 with payments of $225 for 24 months. I called number on contract; Mark **, Sr Loan Officer. Ask me to purchase $200 worth of Itunes gift cards for verification. Being stressed because my medical dog was attacked by a pit bull and had to be put down I was excited because my Doctor said I needed to get a new medical emotion companion dog as soon as possible. I gave Mark pin numbers on cards. He said my money would be deposited within 20 minutes in my bank. It wasn't.

Initially, I had used this company before and with not many problems at two locations. Today, I was contacted by an customer service rep who did state their name and that they were from Advance America. First, she called my mobile phone and then home number and could not state what the call was in regards to cause she talked to someone else in my house. Her demeanor, at times was not professional. I was pressured by another person several months prior who called me and forced me into signing this loan for upfront money for a service fee. I was scared. They said they would pay the interest fee and loan back, but never did. Now, Advance America is telling me to pay the 240 dollars by so and so date or else the loan will be a write off. There are so many loan scams and tax scams going on. Please stay safe.

I have had several automated calls from a Texas number, as well as a New York number, telling me that I was 100% approved for a loan. When I tried to call the Texas number back, Monday (02/13/16), I got a buzzing sound on the line. So, I called the New York number back. I spoke with an Iranian/Indian gentleman who said that I was approved for a loan, and asked how much I wanted to borrow. I told him, "$300-400." He said, "This isn't a payday loan, it's an installment loan. The minimum is $2,500." So, I agreed to borrow that. I was talked in to purchasing $250 in iTunes cards, and was told that the money would be deposited immediately afterward. Well, all of a sudden, the so-called, "Insurance Department" decided to tell me that I needed another $400 in iTunes cards, and that I will get $3200 deposited. I explained that I had spent the last money that I had to buy the $250; and have no way to get the $400.

I have done business with AA for a year now. Always paid my payday advance loans on time. Today I walked in to talk to the Manager of the Store on Vermont Ave in Los Angeles. I said "if you could please work with me to set up a payment plan as I need some time." (Keep in mind have always paid on time consecutively over the last year.) She lied and said there is nothing she can do until my check bounces and then she will work with me. I call their customer service number to see if what she is saying is the truth and she lied, she could have helped me and chose not to. Why? I do not know as the price I pay for the advance you would think she would accommodate me, not to mention I have never defaulted on a loan. I notified Corporate. Just want some accountability for the Manager lying to me in addition to smiling like it's a joke!!

This payday loan business like all of them are regulated by state laws to not give a loan to a customer any loans that exceed 300.00 in total. Each company that I loaned from was fully disclosed by me that I had several payday loans before I got a loan from them. I'm in California and it's the loan companies responsibilities to look at the other loans in each customers name. Legally they are at fault as a business by not informing us or turning us down. I spent 3 years in the vicious cycle paying interest rate that itself should be a crime.

These mf think they're smart. I've got something for that **. They try to pull that same okey dokey on me. Go to Walmart. Western Union me the cash. What. That sounds about as dumb as his Hobbes accent. They're in for more than they could ever start to even want. They have been trying to get me for I'd have to say at least six years. But they haven't pulled one off on me yet besides they got all my info like my SSN and my address and phone number. Hell I've had bad credit for as long as I can remember. So ** those false India mf. They can eat a **.

Advance America claims that I applied for a loan in 2010. This is not true. If I did apply for a loan how come I did not get it? They told me that I have a lawsuit which I don't believe since I don't have a hard copy that I can look at. Please everyone be careful out there because there are frauds out there. I am not going to court for this since I did not receive any money from this company. They even have my old email address. I am very dissatisfied with this company and if they try to contact me again I will not answer my phone. They are out for something that I did in 2010. It would have showed up on my credit report and I don't have anything outstanding showing any business with this company. I will even consider on suing them because everything they told me is false.

So, I just online chatted with a rep from Advance America and when I asked too many questions and informed them that they were reported as scammers, I was told to "** off dumb ** idiot women!" Yep, bad grammar and all. BEWARE OF THESE SCAMMERS!! They wanted me to go buy an iTunes card and load money to send to them as security.

I have received emails from Debra saying I was being taken to court because I have a 400 Loan outstanding. Which is a lie. I no long live in Cali and have been in Illinois for 4 years and have paid off my cash advance loans and have never taken one with them. Also she said if it goes to court that it would cost me 12,900 dollars which makes no sense. When I asked for an accounting and to see a signature page I was told in an email that they had my current address and my phone number which I have not changed. But then was told conveniently that I could pay them 400 and there would be no problem. These people are criminals. Please do not give them any money. Always ask to see a copy of your contract.

Someone from speedy cash so called with an Indian accent when I called had all my info. I had been applying for payday loans online. He said he had me approved for 2000 -10000. He jumped straight pushing 10000. He then proceeded saying they need to check my and verify my bank account. My desperate self gave it to them. No they deposited 400 in my account but requires me to wire it back to them so then I can have the 10000 deposited the same day. I called speedy cash, they say that they don't do loans in Florida and don't have affiliations with any banks as he stated.

Ok so I have talked with these people they are definitely not legit. I have text from them stating that they are scammers and one guy was as bold to tell me he has been in business 9 years and he is a scammer that I couldn't do anything to him. Well I have news for him. Their day will come. Bank of America closed down my account and now I am noticing after all this that they are using my name to purchase things and then picking them up. People please check all spam from the email you used. They are trying to not only get hundreds of thousands dollars but they are trying to pass themselves off as us and they are using our accounts to buy things so it's untraceable. This needs to be stopped. If any of you wants to go to the FBI please contact me **.

After many months, got find someone to advance me some funds. Last week I received a text from Jack ** and here it is... "Hello, this is loan officer Jack ** texting on behalf of Advance America. This text is to inform you that your loan application has been approved for up to $8000.00 from Advance America Loan Company so if you are still in the market looking for a loan with cheap interest rates and better monthly installment without any upfront payment, please kindly get back us on **. Thank you."

I was told I was approved for the loan of up to any amount with as many months and all I had to do is go to Walgreens and call to be conceded to their bank person. To provide verification of available balance, to prove that I'm a honest and trustworthy person. They said that they can't verify it by a set up they have because it's AGAINST THE LAW! They said 30 government bond that I need to get but I have no government bond available for any loan that provided that I've found or heard of before. They want to make me give him the same thing that my friend was done. They money launder or fraudulent deposits and get the unsuspecting computer to help because of desperation. No way. I am not falling for it.

Asked if there was an upfront fee. Was told no. Then I had to have my identity verified by purchasing $265.00 of ITune cards. Then there was an additional fee for Credit Report and since it was under 700 had to purchase $324.00 iTune cards. Each time I asked Martin if this was it and was assured it was. Then I had to pay $400.00 Western Union fee because my bank wouldn't accept the money. I was standing in my bank at the time and no funds were attempted to be transferred. I has promised all of these fees were just to identify me and they would all be refunded with my borrowed funds. Next Martin told me I needed to get two 200.00 cards for the processing fee. I was already into this over a thousand dollars. Being assured this was the last fee and it would be refunded I purchased the cards. Then now I need 451.00 to complete the transaction.

Receive phone call about a loan. Man with heavy accent tells me I'm approved for a 5,000 dollar loan and I had to send 220.00 dollars because my credit score was a little low. He called from 646-396-8709 on 9-2-16. He went as far as to get one of my friends to deposit in their account to get their info. I ignored the call and then I get a call from another number.

These guys are strange. I had been trying to get an emergency loan and tried several off of Google search. Got a call saying I was approved and they repeated my info back to me so I assumed it was legit. James said I had to go to my bank, withdraw what was deposited, then take to a B of A or Wells Fargo and deposit in their account. I went along with it for awhile and then when thinking about it I realized they had never even had me sign and return any documentation so when we talked again to finalize everything I said I was uncomfortable and wanted to stop.

Greetings fellow victims. We were approached and approved like all of you were. The same send me $225 was requested and sent. Then came the wire transfer fees, which we refused to pay. Next came the good faith call, "I will make a deposit in your account just send it back..." Well this caller failed to realize just what he was dealing with. Needless to say funds withdrawn account closed notified proper authorities and submitted all documentation and self-recorded conversations. Preying on someone in need is sick however sticking it to these people even if just a little did make us sleep better.

SCAM SCAM SCAM!!! I received an email stating that I was approved for an loan (which I was applying for a loan but a minimum of $300-$400). The email that I received stating I was approved for a loan for $10,000. At first I was skeptical, and they also send me a text to give them a call. I contacted the number which is **. His name was Roy ** with an Indian accent. He stated I was approved for a 10,000 loan. He verified my info, name, address, bank routing number, account number and bank name. I really didn't have to say much but yes that's correct.

I have been reviewing the reviews from others dealing with Advance America, suspect this is same group who took me for $1100, using my Bank of America info, CVS, and iTunes. Unlike the other people, I was not asked for any fees upfront... Fact is all I had in my checking account was $11.23. I was told by the scammer "not to worry," that they would deposit $1100 into my bank account for verification purposes. All I had to do was go to CVS, and purchase $1100 of iTunes, scrape the silver off the back and give them the numbers and then $5000 would appear in my account. That $5000 never appeared, neither did the $1100. Oh, I stupidly went to CVS, and by some miracle was NOT rejected for my purchase of $1100. Remember I only had $11.23 in my account, so why would CVS approve an $1100 purchase.

Good morning everyone I just want you to know that this man Kevin ** who say he's an attorney is full of you know what... Can you say scam? He called me and had a very nasty attitude like I slept with him last night. Had me a little scared at first... talking about I owe money for a payday loan that had gotten and he wanted to know what I wanted to do about it before he sends the police to job... Kevin ** was very disrespectful and rude. He has a heavy accent... claiming to be three different people.

I keep getting emails stating that I have been approved for a $10,000 loan with the interest charge of $1,000. Whenever I call the number back and ask what the emails are in reference to it was a foreign who I could barely understand that was a lot of static on the end of their phone and said, “Yes you applied for a loan and I got you approved.” Somehow or another this person had all of my information including my bank information. I told him I have not applied for a loan and to quit sending me emails and disregard all information. I feel that this is a strong scam that is being processed through people's emails to try to get money out of others who has done nothing to ask for this. Please be aware that the scam is there. I am a single mom of 4 kids and that is the last thing I need is for someone to try to obtain all my personal information as if I don't struggle enough. I don't need anybody to help me with that.

I had lost my job and I couldn't pay my check loan off. Been trying to find another job but today 7/27/16 one of the ladies called me in regards to my check and was very rude... She was asking me questions about my personal life in which is none of her business and I told her that and then she offers me a job cleaning windows for 10 dollars. Each time I cleaned them I get 10 dollars... Yeah right lady wake up... I told her to clean them herself. She said "well it will help pay your loan off..." I'd advise noone to go there. They are a worthless business.

I received a call from a foreigner named Jared that I have been approved for a loan for $2,000. He wanted me to give him all of my banking information and then asked me to go get a MoneyGram for $250 and send him. While I was talking I decided to look up laws for loans and it is illegal for them to ask anybody to pay an upfront fee or an insurance payment for a loan, so when I mentioned that to him he started yelling and screaming at me and calling me names and told me that I was not listening, that I needed to listen to him. Well needless to say I hung up on him. He called back 12 more times. Finally I told him that I would put him on a 3-way call with my bank about this loan and then he decided to hang up on me.

I was trying to get 1700 to go see my mom that is very sick and they told me that I need to pay a fee of 500.00 and put it on a itune card and my dumb ass did. They gave me a confirmation code to go get the money, get there and no money. They said the code is no good. I call them back and told them they said they will send me the new code in the morning and I can pick it up at ten and still no money. THEY NEED SHUT DOWN and their number is (727)466-3734. They are from clearwater fl. They took all my money to feed my 3,4,5 year old and I am so mad.

I received an email from Alex ** saying I was approved for $5000 if I sent proof of income in the amount of $500! I called the guy to verify. He is middle eastern and rude. He told me he was going to ** my ** off because I lied to him. He was rude and foul and it is disgusting this is allowed, in any culture.

So they thought I was gonna fail for their trap. They thought I was gonna be stupid after they had me buy an itune card and drive 9 hours away to open a Chase account. They put some money in there and I took it and ran. Now they're calling me and threatening me and calling me a ** and etc. Can I get in trouble?

I got scammed as well. I got an email from Advance America saying I was approved for 2000 and they called me and told me that since my credit score was so low I had to pay 150 to get the funds and to put the money on an iTunes card. And after that they told I had to pay documentation fee of 375 and I told them I didn't have that kind of money and they were telling me I had to borrow it from someone. And I took it out my daughter's party money and then they told me to get another iTunes and I did. And they said that I had the last step and give them 445 for a fee and the guy was yelling at me and I told him I wanted my money back. And they told me no and I was so frustrated that I told him that I will sue him and he said "I bet you damn sure you will not get a penny out of it." So now I'm so stress, how am I going to do my daughter's party. I just want my money back, how can I?

I received a text and email said I was approved for 5000 dollars from Advance America. The guy name was Derrick ** email = ** and his direct phone line is **. I called and he said I was approved for 5000 dollars, but he needs to verify my account that I am not broke. He told me to go to Walgreens and buy 500 dollars worth of iTunes cards and send him the picture of front and the back, also told me to scratch off the code from the back. He thinks I was stupid. So I hang up. Common sense. If I have 500 dollars in my hand then I wouldn't be applying for the loan. Be aware of the scammers. Use your head guys.

Here is an email I received. I believe it is spam and have not returned their email or called them. "Dear Customer, As you are aware, you have a small pay day loan bill of $1289.86 that remains unpaid. We feel we have done everything possible within reason to collect the money you owe us. We have decided that unless you make immediate plans to repay us this money, we will write this debt off our books and claim it as bad debt loss to the IRS."

They emailed me said I was approved for a $5000 dollar loan. All I needed to do was give them my bank info. It would be in the bank. When I went to get it it wasn't there. So I called them and they said I had to send $200 thru Western Union to some bogus name. I did that and they said they told me I had to send another $475. And I did that and I called the guy again. He then told me he needed another $498. I told him I could not do that. He got very rude with me. I then told him just to put the money back in my bank. He hung the phone up on me. I called him back. He acting like he didn't know what I was talking about and would not give my money back. I turn that company in to the BBB.

I am receiving emails saying I have a small loan in the amount of $1086.55 that remains unpaid and they are threatening to submit an IRS form 1099-a. I have no knowledge of this company or have ever taken a loan out with them. The loan number they give is ** and a phone number **. This is fraud and I am a victim of Identity theft.

I had applied for an installment loan in the amount of $1,000 online and was contacted by John ** with Advance America in South Carolina. He said that I had been approved for an installment loan in the amount of $2,000. My payments were to be $131.00 per month. He then told me I had to pay a fee of $110.00 upfront and then my funds would be wired within 10 minutes of receipt by an "iTunes" card. No funds were wired; however, he then informed me that I needed to pay the Loan Document Fee upfront also. This amount was $399.00. I asked to speak to the Manager of the Branch and told him to deduct that amount from my proceeds.

I gave my two week notice, left on good terms. Part of my pay was delayed for almost a month! And that's cause I called! Today Feb 15th and still no W2! Oh but Advance America better get these customers in the door "DO THE DEAL, DO THE DEAL." ** if you ask me.

First off Advance America in VA Falls Church and the District Manager in the DC Area have stolen from people. They deposited checks when they didn't have permission plus they deposited checks when people didn't owe what they owed. If you write a check 4 months prior and you owe $300.00 left in an installment loan. That is against the law to cash a check for what a person doesn't owe. And then on top of things they made false and slander statements on the people. The district manager ** is so so unprofessional. Never go there EVER even if you need $1. They are so corrupt.

There are two Indian men. Well one of two with very American sounding names posing as agents for loans. They called me. Said "You applied for loan. You can get 8 grand. Congrats." These jokers need to be shut down. America will not put up with this bull crap anymore. The area code was 217 Texas. I think they harassed me so much I am going on the fed gov site for scams. Don't send Western Union or Green Dot card to these losers!!! This is disgusting behavior. Green Dot card my ass. Real loans don't ask for money upfront. Duh. That's why it's a loan folks!

Received several emails and one particular phone call offering to loan 5,000.00 for the next three years. Monthly payments at $183.00. The catch is I have to make a deposit of $220.00. I told him I didn't have it right now, so he said he'd save the information, he called Monday. He called again today to verify that I would be making that deposit, by 2pm tomorrow. Ha! Right, I gave him a prepaid card number that has nothing to do with any account at all. I'll never deposit anything on that prepaid card, so Robert ** at ** enjoy spending money that you're never gonna get just like I will never trust that you will deposit 5,000.00 into any account.

I received an email from FCS Corporation telling me that I owe Cash America a sum of $822.14. I don't even know who Cash Advance are and I have not applied for a loan of that amount, I don't understand why I received this email. Please stop this at once!

I got a call on my work phone from someone claiming I defaulted on a $300 loan and criminal charges would be filed against me tomorrow for money laundering. It got me thinking because he told me I had to Western Union it to him then I thought I never got a loan from this company so I called the company Advance America and they don't have a record of me. They even told me it's a scam. So of course I called the ** back and cussed him out good.

Representative of Advance America Cash Advance threatening fraud, 3 felonies coming to my work to serve papers, would not tell me what he is talking about... Scary I don't have a loan there and he had my last 4 social and work phone number. It terrified me. Now for sure I would never do business with this company -- I hope they are aware. There are many reviews with same and similar complaints.

I'm in need of some additional cash due to an extended illness, and applied to a few different cash advance/short-term loan companies. I received an email from Advance America today, with an attached loan document (which I did not download, only previewed) indicating I was approved for a $5000 loan at a 2.5% interest rate over three years, for a monthly payment of just under $150.00. Sounds great, right?

Wow. I applied with Advance America online for a cash advance. I thought it strange when I was denied online for $500 but received a text saying it was reconsidered and approved for $4,125! Yeah. Right. Obviously a scam and NOT the REAL Advance America. I bet my friend they would ask me to send them money first if I called. So, yup, called "Charles" back in California even though I applied with Ohio. I could barely understand him through his accent. Sounded like he was from India as well. He went on about the $250 a month payments for borrowing $4,125. Same amount I've read on other postings. I asked him how much I had to send him first and he paused, probably thinking he got a live one, offering to give him money first. Lol. He said "the usual $250, security deposit". I said, "Oh, I only have $.05 in my account!"

I got a call from a number in FL (786) 468-7038 and a man with a very strong indian accent began to tell me I had applied for a loan which I had but not through them. He said I was approve for 5000 dollars. I never asked for 5000. I've only wanted a small 2-3k loan to help with bills. He then began to tell me he was going to help fix my credit score and something about him sending me a money gram so that I could pay a deposit but it wouldn't come out of my own pocket. HE KNEW EVERYTHING about me. He knew my name, my job, my social security number, my date of birth, where I lived. I am terrified now that my identity has been thrown out to whoever needs to use it after attempting to get a personal loan to fix my financial problems. I'm so freaked out and feel dirty right now. I'm so upset.

Recently, I was applying online for a cash advance to help with my kids Christmas. Shortly after, I got an email stating that I was approved for a loan between 2000 and 15000 dollars. I thought great! Then today, I get a call from a ** number. It was a man with a very strong accent, I could hardly understand him. He then asked me how much money I needed and verified my bank detail, my address, my ss number, even where I work. I thought nothing of it until he told me to hold on while he deposited my cash but quickly came back to say that I have to first send $112 dollars for some insurance but I couldn't send it through my bank account. Please don't fall for this. I am sure that it is a scam!

I received a phone call from Victor, but he sounds like a foreigner. I had went online. That is how they knew to contact me. Victor left a message on my voicemail stated that I had been approved for a 7,000 dollars loan. I called Victor on 11-27-15, he stated that I was approved for 7,000, but I said I only want 1,500. He said due to my poor credit score that I need to show that I could make 150.00 monthly payment. He then put his manager on the phone, his name is David **, he told me to go to Dollar General purchase a 100.00 MoneyGram. Never got money in my account nor did I get the 100.00.

This number call me as I was hunting for a loan they send me an approval email. (**) I talk to them process information as check advance but after all the information they wanted my bank username and password. I told him I was not allow to give this information from my bank so I have a local account that I have no deposits going to it and no funds, gave him that account information as I know all my information on my regular federal account is completely different so nobody can hack and they call me immediately before approving any international or suspicious transactions and send me even a text.

This is a scam! My girlfriend and I were just looking for a little extra money for Christmas. When I received an email saying I was approved for a 7000$ loan that I could pay back long term, we thought great so we tried it. First of all, I couldn't hardly understand this first guy named Mike which we overlooked. He proceeds to ask me for online banking info which also was overlooked because we've done a payday loan before and they asked for such info also. When people try to access our account from a device other than the devices we log in from, it requires a one-time pin if it's done through a mobile device. So when Mike asked for the pin I wondered why he was using a cell phone to do the transaction. Mike said in order for me to receive the 7000$ he was going to deposit 900$.

In October 2015 I was online looking for a personal loan to consolidate some smaller bills. Advance America showed and I felt they were reputable as they are all over the place. I filled out the application and they called me to talk about the loan I had asked for. The person I talked to was Eric ** and he said I was approved for $5000 dollars and wanted to know if I had an active checking account and I said yes I do. He said in order to know that, they would be depositing $1925 into my account that night which they did in increments of $491, $493, $453 and $485 and what I would need to do is go to a Walmart and send a moneygram, the first one going to Texas, the second one going to California. Well of course the lady at Walmart was suspicious but I assured her this was a legitimate transaction. Yeah right, little do I know what was going to happen. Well Eric called me back to let me know it did not go through.

I missed a call from 260-701-7426. I listened to the voice mail - it stated that it was a call from the State Attorney General office. I called 260-701-7426 and a foreigner answered the phone. I asked what was the call about and he stated that I had taken out a loan of 400.00 & I needed to pay immediately. I have never taken out a loan with this company. The man on the other end stated that I should've receive information regarding the loan through the mail. I told him that I hadn't received anything and it was probably because I never received a loan. He stated "That's not my problem." I asked for proof of the loan. Where was it deposited? Documents that I signed? He became upset and hung up.

I was contacted a couple years ago about qualifying for a $3000 loan. I had been laid off and was in need of money so a man with a heavy Indian accent told me I had to pay a fee before I could get my money. I was instructed to go somewhere and purchase a green dot prepaid card and call him back. I did that and he told me to scratch the number off the back and give him the numbers. He assured me that I would have my money in my account within the hour. I waited till the next morning and still no money. I called him back then he told me I had to pay something else. I kept saying to him this has to be a scam but he assured me again it was legit. I ended up sending him over $800 and my identity was also stolen at this same time. So I am wasting.

I received an email from this company stating I had been approved for a $5,000 loan. The call was from Miami, FL. I was told by a James ** that I needed to send $205.00 to a David ** in MN to their insurance to cover the loan in case I was out of work. So stupidly I sent the MoneyGram. Then he calls me back stating I needed to send another $253 because there was a red flag on my acct due to credit. So stupidly I did that. Like 10 minutes after I sent that MoneyGram I get a call from ** stating that I had been scammed and to go cancel the MoneyGram. Thankfully I cancelled in time and got my money back. So I call the 864 number back in Spartanburg, SC and they want me to send another $209 for "credit repair" and they will stay on the line with me until the money is deposited into my account. So I ask who to send it to and a Stacy ** states to send it to David ** in MN.

I have never took a cash advance loan with this company ever! I have asked for proof on several emails, also for a number to reach them. I googled them, obtained number 773-455-4908 which is not in service.

I also received this email from this Advance America guy named Bob... But he first verified my bank and SSS information and then said he would transfer me to his loan officer. Which all he did was switch his voice up... And proceeded to talk to me about the 5,000 loan I was approved for... As soon as he told me that I knew it was a scam... He said I need to be able to provide him with 300 dollars before I can get this loan... He said, "go to your nearest Walmart for a MoneyGram to send it." He will tell me next step after that.

I just received email as a lot of people that I owed over $900. I have never taken a loan from these people. They are very threatening. I wish there was a way to stop these people and turn around and sue them. Don't send money.

So I got a phone call after applying through a secure site (HA) from Greenleaf Financial and then from Advanced America Loans saying that I had been approved for 2,000-10,000 dollars. So I called them back because they said it was totally based on my credit score. They had all my information, bank account, social, address, phone number, where I worked extra. Then the guy said he was putting my request through for 5000.00 would cost 174 a month in repayment. Pretty good terms but then he put me on hold and when he comes back says "well your credit score is quite good enough and we need you to show that you can pay so we need to get 210.00 dollars."

I have NEVER used this company, don't know who they are. They reported to 2 different credit agencies that I owe them over 1,000 and I have NEVER contacted them. I disputed it on my credit report and through the BBB. Definitely a scam.

I received an email from this "company" - said my name had been given to them. The guy I talked to was Christopher - he was one of many. I wish I would have investigated them more and had the luck as CA had - I did not and have sent them money for "fees". Today they said the loan was ready but they needed another $400 for additional fees. I told them I don't have it and had already sent them $$$$. Their remark was they would hold my file for 2 weeks. I replied no such luck - you already have $$$. I asked if they could send my "fees" back and they said it was against some federal lending corporation rule. I am just sick that I fell for this scam.

They called me telling me I was approved for a loan I needed to pay for a medical procedure for my son. Said that I wouldn't need to send them money upfront but I need to send them a voided check by email. The next day I have 2 checks forged and withdrawn from my account for $900/$970. Luckily I have the original email and checks and reported to the fraud dept of my bank right away.

Today 9/14/2015 I received a email stating I was approved for $5000 and that I needed to call asap. So I call and someone with a heavy Indian accent claiming to be the senior loan officer. He asks what bank I'm with and I tell him AMEX, but then he says they don't go thru American Express. I'm don't think nothing of it at the time because I just recently lose my job so he refers me to two banks that they deal with Texas Capital and Prosperity Bank so as I'm riding around trying to find one of those banks I stop and think if he want to deposit money he could of just direct deposit right into my account but that sneakin ** wanted me to add money into the account so he could withdraw it and when they say you will have the money in 30 to 45 mins that's how long its gonna take them to wipe you out.

I got a text message on my phone from this company that I was approved for a loan up to $8500. I called the number and a man named Alan with a heavy Indian accent greeted me. I inquired about a set amount I needed and he said he could help. He then read off all the information he had on me. Said I needed to pay some insurance feed up front before loan could be approved. I asked how he had all my information (bank account number, SSN, address, DOB, etc.) and he said it was on my application. Funny since I never filled out an application with this company. Beware!! This is a scam!! But now I worry because the scary thing is that they somehow had all my information. What can be done about this?

First and foremost, I am one of those people who Google everything. I got a phone call from a heavy Indian-accented guy telling me I was approved for a long-term loan, which is what I was looking for. I needed help for the short term loan I had to keep up with the bills. Once you get on that track being a mother of 2, it's hard to get out of. The guy proceeded to tell me I was approved from 2000 to 10,000 dollars. I gave him my information to look up my credit, supposedly. He put me on hold, came back and said, "Great news, we can give you a loan for 2000." Being that my credit was low, they would deposit a check into my checking account and to verify it is really me, I'd have to send some money back from that check through money gram. Nothing else, no western union, only money gram.

I don't know who In the hell these 2 Indian guys are. One is named Jordan & forgot the other guys! My boyfriend received a text messaging saying I need to contact this attorney office before they issue me a warrant and come to my house or work! He told me they are suing me for different allegations like 3 counts of fraud and I needed to pay 400 in the next 2 hours or they will send my lawsuit to the sheriff's department! I asked them some information and they couldn't tell me. All they said is if I wanted to clear my name I needed to go to Walmart or CVS to Western Union to send $400 to Sunil ** or I will go to jail! I don't know who these people are but they need to be caught. I'm going to see an attorney tomorrow to stop the cowards from threatening and harassing me.

Got an email saying I was approved for a $7000 personal loan. I have not used the real "Advance America" before. So was listing to what James ** had to say... At first James ** calls me, **, and proceeds to tell me I can have the $7000. They will deposit $986.00 and I can pay it back with $250 payments for 24 months. Meaning I would pay $1000 interest over the course of the loan. So I agree to listen to the terms while researching phone numbers, company name, etc. Red flags came up when I typed in the name of the company and put in IL pay loan. The contact number that he called from was **. I would call the number back and it would say you're not allowed to call this number from this phone.

I'm getting email at work saying I owe $986.45. When I call he try to get my info. like SS #. My company and I try to block them. He use the name Advance cash America. This is what they are saying. "If we decide to write off this debt, we will use IRS form 1099-A which will show the IRS that the $986.45 became income for you and bad debt for Advance." This is the phone # and e-mail. Cash America, Advance Cash America, (347)-332 0189.

I filled out a application online on August 16, 2015. At 9:36 am I got a call from Advance America. He had a very heavy accent. Sounded like he was from India. He said I was approved for 2000 dollar loan. Then he told me to go to the Website cashpay.ml or cashpay.ga and I did it. Went to a link he said I was already getting the loan but I had to sign up for scoresense so they have a accurate credit score. I did it but when I was done he said he needed my membership number. When I gave it to him he said "someone will call you in a hour" about my deposit. It didn't feel right so I called scoresense and ask the rep about the co. and gave her the website. She told me they were legit. They are not legit. When I called them back he got so rude he then repeated my address and said he was gonna come and kill me. That if I want a problem he will give me one.

Got an email saying I was approved for a $5000 personal loan. I had used the real "Advance America" before and had no issues. So I thought I could trust this offer... at first. So Charles ** calls me, (716) 616-9168, and proceeds to tell me I can have the $5000 due to my income with only $250 payments for 24 months. Meaning I would pay $1000 interest over the course of the loan. Not great but I was hurting really bad! So I agree to listen to the terms while researching phone numbers, company name etc., finishing all sorts of red flags. The contact number he gave me was 716-616-9168.

I received a call from someone saying they were from Advance America with a Florida number but when I looked it up it is cell from T-Mobile in Augusta GA. In searching the number the Company listed was Powertel Atlanta License, Inc. It was a India speaking man that told me my loan was approved for $3000. Funny thing is I never applied for a loan. I work for a Financial Institution and know a lot about SCAMS. I started asking questions of the man that was getting a little shaken and by the time I finished asking questions he told me he didn't know his number, his name or even where he was. I asked for a Supervisor and another man got on the phone which begin to say very vulgar things to me which really upset me and I told him I knew that what they were doing was a scam. He kept saying very nasty this and I told him he called the wrong person today and I hung up.

Applied for a loan online and received an email from a Mark ** at Advance America which turned out to be a scam. Approval letter said I was approved for a $5,000.00 loan at 10 percent interest. He claimed to be the Senior Loan Officer. Because my bank is a small mutual bank he said he couldn't wire the funds and would have to go through MoneyGram. I questioned him about this and he assured me this was a legal business and this was normal. He told me to wait at Wal-Mart and he would wire the funds. I waited 4 hours and still no money. He then told me I had to pay the first payment of $250.00. I had to send it by MoneyGram. It made sense so I sent him that amount by MoneyGram. I went home. He asked why I went home because he was going to wire the loan money to me. I told him I couldn't sit in Wal-mart anymore. The next day he called me at 9:30 am and told me that I had to now pay the fee for him wiring the amount.

I was sent a email claiming I was approved to get a cash advance loan up $5000. I was in a desperate need for cash and the things started sounding right until he asked to send money through a wire transfer on western union. It was my last $100 I sent thinking I would get the money in my account. Called to speak with the people. They claim it takes a minute to post money in account. Money never made to account so I asked for refund. Stated there's no refund and I would have to give more personal information in order to get loan money in account. I had already giving bank account information to put money in account.

Phone **. The India dudes sound English not complete but saying I was approved for $4000 plus send $200 to MoneyGram & my loan amount of $4200 in 45-60 minutes which sound kind of odd. Plus I'm in need of that loan. Red Flags. Be careful People. Karma will come back look for them.

July 31 I borrow 350 - interest 61.25. Contract say no fee. By August 1 I cancelled and had to pay 61.25 fee. I want my money back. The store is locate in Centre, AL - 1931 W Main St Centre AL. Phone 256 927 8548. Contract says rights to cancel this loan by August 1 and avoid paying any fees.

I applied for a bad credit auto loan, and received a response from these people. They took me for 400.00 and wanted 290 more!!! They claimed my 5000.00 loan was approved, and these were merely processing fees. I cant believe I was taken. I am an educated woman, going through a horrible time in my life. I do not understand with all the complaints I have seen AFTER the fact, about this same company, WHY AREN'T they caught??? They are preying and scamming innocent people whom they know are in dire times. I do not understand how so many people have written of these same people, these thick accented Hindu Indians with Johnny Appleseed american fake names, and yet they are still there!!!!

It's an expensive short-term loan with an astronomical APR. They are very upfront about this and that's why you should only use their service if you're in the middle of an emergency and have no other options. That said, my loan was approved in minutes, deposited into my account the next day, and I paid it off on the due date which satisfied every obligation I had to them. It was a simple, pain-free process. Helped me to catch up on a few bills after a couple weeks of not being able to work as much. No mysterious Indian men, no prepaid debit cards, no one continuing to debit my account after everything was paid off. I'd absolutely use them again if I was in a tight bind.

I just got an phone call from Advance America Cash Advance talking about I got a loan for $300 deposited into my account. And I refused to pay my payment so now they are filing criminal charges. But when I told them that it wasn't me they had my ss# and my old address. When I told them I​ don't live there the man hung up.

I was contacted via text message that I was approved for a loan for $4000.00 from Advance America. The name was Jake ** & the number left for me to call was a 214 area code. I was in dire need to get medical bills paid as well as other things. I called the number & Jake ** - very heavy Indian accent answered the phone. He told me I was approved, & my monthly payments would be 250.00. All I had to do was go get a Visa Green Dot Card & put 400.00 on it to show I had the funds to pay back this loan. He promised that I would immediately get my money back. He also asked for my zip code & even the nearest place to get a card was Fred's.

I'm amazed at how many people have fallen for this scam. But I believe now that these scammers have tried to get my husband. He keeps getting calls from Indian sounding people trying to get him to do a loan. They sometimes call several times a day. I've actually used this Advance America Cash Advance place before and walked out very pleased at how simple and easy the process was. The real company is great. I paid them back on the due date and never got a phone call from them since. Very professional and polite staff too.

This company is a scam. No company want a customer to give money, when you are trying to borrow a money... and go buy a Green Dot card and put $250 on the card, to receive $4000. No one speaks American.. Poor English.. Please be aware. Thank you.

I was approved for a $5000 loan and sent $150 to Florida branch as my first payment. Funds are still not in my account. That 150 was all the money I had to my name! I'm so upset with myself for believing that I just might be able to clear some of my debt and still feed my kids!

The other day I received loan documents from someone pretending to be a loan officer for Advance America. This man tried to get me to upload money on a pay power prepaid card of 250 on a 4,000 dollar loan. I knew right away this was a scam because loan companies don't ask for money upfront. I called a employee at Advance America and did a three-way call on this man. She busted him in like 3 minutes and told him about himself. He hung up in her face because he was busted. Thank god for following my first mind... People are so crooked.

I received a strange call yesterday from this number. On the other line was a man that claims to work for Cash Advance America. He spoke very quickly and I swore I heard him say, "** (something)". I said, "**?" He responded by repeating his name and his alleged company name with a serious attitude. I figured I could have misheard him. He then stated that I had recently applied for a loan (which I had) and proceeded to tell me that I was approved for $10,000. I explained that I didn't need another loan as I had already been approved for the last but he responded by telling me that I could also get a smaller loan in the amount of $5,000. At this point, it was clear he wasn't listening to me, so I decided to humor him in the hopes of collecting enough info to share with you all here.
