    This company Cash Advance I got scam. They told me that I was eligible for $5,000 loan. They made me go get gift cards. Once I did everything I was supposed to do I never heard from them again and now my bank Chase is charging me with all this money that I did and I got nothing to do with it.

    This companies calls and leaves a message for you to call back as they have a loan for you. You will call back and have one of 5-6 people receive the call as it is a scam operation. They will ask for your credit card and or bank information. They may ask you to go buy gift cards. This is not a legitimate organization. This is a scam and they will steal from you. Phone numbers (but they change often): 817-786-9074 and 817-876-9071.

    I received a call at 3:30 am (my time as I live in CST) from a "Kevin **" an obvious foreigner who cannot speak English very well and can barely type it. He stated that my loan had been approved for $5000 and he was calling from Cash Advance. I asked him for his company's license and he proceeded to talk up his ease of borrowing. I verified my account number (and regretted it almost immediately) because he proceeded to deposit $1485.00 into my bank account and told me to go to a Walmart and get two gift cards and send them back. Upon receipt, they would deposit the $5000.00 as agreed. I asked about signing some document to make certain that this loan was legal and he said they would email me a PDF with forms for me to sign. Before I could even agree, he hung up and bothered me for hours. Since I was at work, I waited until much later to respond.

    I checked my bank balance and there was a deposit there, however, I have heard that something like this could be a scam. Apparently, they allow the balance to be withdrawn and then short you the difference. I am considering reporting it to the police and having them handle it. I have received numerous texts asking if I went to Walmart yet? Did I return the cards? Etc? I know that they will call back and am not sure how to proceed. I guess that the police should be alerted. The PDF is lettered with "Speedy Cash" but looks fake by design.

    I have been getting calls every few weeks from these guys. Every time, the same story. Robocall ** giving a spiel about how I need to call back about a loan. I called, told them, "DO NOT CALL ME." They never listen. Today was the first time they used a Texas number, but previously had always been a Chicago number. Indian guy always picks up the phone, and will hang up once you say to be removed from the call list. After a few hours, the phone line that was provided will always be unreachable. THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAMMERS. Do not trust them.

    Some Governmental or Legal Authority needs to put this "Boiler Room" operation OUT OF BUSINESS IMMEDIATELY, IF NOT SOONER! I received an unsolicited "Offer" of an approved loan for $5000, complete with an approval code and a contact name of "Jack **" (the loan manager). The call came from a phone number based out of Clint, Texas. The number is 915-288-8923. SO, for all those other folks complaining about incessant calls based in Illinois, TAKE NOTE. Other phone numbers are now being generated out of Texas. I placed 1 call to the number & a foreign male answered the phone, claiming he was Jack **, then the phone connection became distorted. I cut the call off. I already knew this whole package was BOGUS. They need to be reported to DHS for FRAUD! 'Nuff said.

    This Arab guy name Kevin ** from California sent me letter in my email stating I was approved for a loan amount for 7500 and that he needed my full name, address, phone number, social security number, bank routing number, bank account number, debt card number, employers phone number, how long I've worked for them and how much I made a year and me being a stupid person I gave him all my information. And he called me for a week straight asking me did I receive the wire money and he kept on changing my username and passcode for my online banking. Every day now he is calling from different numbers all day everyday from 7am to 7pm. I will be filing a complaint against him and then sue him for harassment and emotional distress.

    I have received multiple phone calls from them for several months. This morning they called me from a number in Euless,Texas (they typically utilize Illinois area codes). Despite this, I do not believe that they are based in the United States because during my conversations with them, the same man and woman sounded as if they were from a country in southern Asia. They also throw out every ounce of professionalism once they are angry with you. For instance, the male associate became very vulgar and profane to the point that he threatened to kill me. He stated that supposedly he had all of my information and that he was going to track me down. I recommend that anyone who reads my review should block their number(s). They are clearly out to prey upon people who are facing financial hardships and to cause, such people, more adversities than what they are currently experiencing.

    I felt it was fraud because one I could not get a pending fee for them. After waiting 8 hours then try asked me for my online password with username. Something that my bank accountant said they themselves don’t have access to ok. So cash advance was supposed to deposit 3000 amount that I never asked for then I had no return call saying how much was their pending fee. So next they return my call asking me what I changed my password and username so I ask them 1 why should they have it if I gave them my routing and account numbers and my employer phone number. With that information it should be enough to deposit my money so I even was questioned by the guy so he hung up then called back. Phone went straight to voicemail. 2 days they avoided my call so. I never got the loan.

    I got a call saying that I was approved for a $3000 loan. Somehow....someway. They had my banking info. Needless to say they deposited a check (NOT from their supposedly company) BUT from a woman's checking account. They called me back telling me to go and get a gift card with the amount they deposited. I knew right then this was a scam. I went to my bank, closed my account. The police were involved. They call me 3-6 times a day from 773-887-1056, 773-887-1054 and so on. How do I get them to stop calling me. This is harassment!!

    Got approval letter from CASH ADVANCE USA. Called number given. They refused to loan less than $3000...then I was informed that they only deposit into about 10 institutions, with mine not being one of them. I asked the guy if this was a scam, and he said "yes, yes it is" a couple of times before he realized what I was asking. The phone # I called was 772-882-6008. As broke as I am I am not going to buy a prepaid card just to get a loan. Their bank must be Regions (not my bank) since it was mentioned in that list of acceptable accts/cards.

    They call me multiple times a day from a variety of numbers. I've advised them on several occasions they need to stop calling me. They persist. I've looked into the company. They're a scam company based in India using Americanized names, such as "William **", and local telephone numbers depending on your own personal location. They have multiple ploys to cheat you out of your personal information. Cash loans, payday loans, car warranties, insurance, etc.

They ask me to buy a stream card for 100.00 dollars to cover that and they would deposit 2000 into my account and it would be done in 2 hours. So I waited and did not happen. The next day Mr ** call me and told me that they try to deposits the money. By now require federal fees to do this transfer of another 100.00 dollars which I would recv 2100.00. So dumb me agree and brought another 100.00 stream card and set them the information.

    As of this mornings I still have not recv the money and now I am told that money will be deposit Monday morning. I told Mr ** I have no more money but he assure me that he promise that he would be sure that the deposit does happen. Yes I was scam. I believe his number is ** Mr. Roy **. So now what do I do to get this 200.00 dollars back? I like to ask is there really a Cash Advance company or are they all a scam?

    Received several call from (773) 347-7820 Stating I was approved for a loan of $15,000 from a loan group out of Chicago Il. When I called the company back they asked how much I wanted to borrow. I told them I needed a loan of 7k. They tried to force me to accept $10,000 which I was not comfortable with, I asked the man several questions and stated that I was reading reviews posted on a site linked to the BBB. The gentleman did not know what BBB (Better Business Bureau) was and said that I needed to check their website which was www.wegotathousand.com (note not even the name of the financial institution that the loan was supposedly coming from) and the more I pressed the more irate the man got.

    He told me that the loan would be paid back with ACH directly from my bank account. The more I pressed about his company the more frustrated the man got and eventually he hung up on me, I believe that this company is a SCAM GROUP based out of INDIA due to the fact that I did not hear a single person with an American Dialect on the phone in the background, I called the company back several times and each time I got a different person with a heavy INDIAN accent.

    I cannot give this company 'Cash Advance USA' any star rating but this system is forcing me to. They continue to call me from #773 869-0878 - a recording saying I could get a $15,000 loan. This time I called the number back to request I be taken off their call list. When I started asking questions they hang up. I called back, asked for an address - 2nd time they said it was 807 W Van Buren, Chicago, IL 60607. I asked what banking institution funded their loans. They said Bank of 'Amreca'. (He was clearly from another country if he was trying to pronounce America.) I asked him to spell 'Amreca'. He spelled to me an awful obscenity and then hung up. DO NOT GET SCAMMED BY THIS COMPANY. Report your experience and get as much information as you can to report them.

    I received a phone call from what I thought to be Cash Advance USA. ** telling me that I was approved for a loan of $5.000.00 to $15,000.00. I told him I was interested in $3,000.00. I was asked for a credit card number for them to add on an amount to validate the loan, which they did do. After the cardholder placed a 7 day hold on the money, the money was sent back to the sender as a scam. The next day, I received another call from what I was told was the lending club that was verifying the information they had on file about me and it was my information. Once again, I was asked for a credit card number for them to add money on, except this time I called them a scam and was hung up on.

    If you fall for any kind of scam like this, I'm sorry, but you kinda deserve it. NEVER trust ANYONE that contacts you unsolicited for ANYTHING involving money. It's a scam 95% of the time and identity theft the other 50% of the time. I received a robocall this morning saying I was approved for a $15k loan from Cash Advance USA. Awesome! Wait, I never applied for a loan, so this should be fun. Called them back to phish for some info to see if identity theft was afoot. I asked where they got my info and the Sri Lankan or Tamil guy told me they got it from the NDA. I told him he's a criminal, he told me to ** myself and my mother, and we parted ways in a most entertaining shouting match.

    There is not a legit financial institution that will ever give you an APPROVAL on a loan that you didn't apply for. That's a violation of the Patriot Act's "Know Your Customer" provisions. Legit companies will, however, offer PRE-APPROVALS that are contingent upon verification of income, credit, assets, etc but at the very least they must verify your identity to make sure you're not one of them Al Qaedas or a Siberian teenager. The phone numbers they use are cloned from unsuspecting number banks and they will never leave a trail that can be traced. Don't waste your time reporting this to any authorities. They ** and can't do anything about it. LMAO @ people saying "The FBI is coming". No, they're not. ANY DEBT COLLECTOR MUST PROVIDE YOU WITH WRITTEN PROOF OF THE DEBT. This is very important, so let me repeat that.

    ANY DEBT COLLECTOR MUST PROVIDE YOU WITH WRITTEN PROOF OF THE DEBT. Do not provide them with ANY personal information and don't even confirm you are the person they are looking for. Simply tell them to send you written proof to the address they have on file for you and you will review that proof and respond in the appropriate amount of time. Any debt settlement offer they try to give you over the phone is not valid unless it is also in writing, so don't agree to anything unless you see it in writing. An email does not constitute 'in writing'.
