Cash Advance USA Reviews

All of a sudden I started getting threatening emails from someone stating that if I do not pay an unverified debt that charges would be filed on my name and social security number. I replied back to the individual who emailed me and a demanded that they no longer contact me and that I was submitting a complaint to the CFPB and my Attorney General. They then replied back to me with the name, partial social security number, mailing address, phone number and amount owed of the person they believed to be me. I then sent the email to my Attorney General with my complaint.

This place is a scam. Went to go and get a loan and I asked for the supervisor and it was the same guy. Don't ever fall for foreigners at all. What a joke. I am calling the police down in GA and TX and contacting the Attorney General. They tried taking money out of an account that is my mother's and said it was an error but when I confronted them they called me names and I didn't know what was going on. So I closed all the accounts. Joke is on them.

There are people of Middle East accent posing as Cash Advance USA PayDay Loan stating you've been approved for $5000 to $8000 loan! They recite all of your info you input online for the loan, ask for the amount you want to borrow and then let you know what your payment will be for 24 or 36 most! Then tell you that there's a fee for sending the loan to you which is between $75.00 and $95.00 and you have to purchase a home sort of card and call them with a no. By then I felt it wasn't right so I didn't allow it to get that far, I've even forgotten what type of card they wanted me to purchase! They use multiple phone numbers which are probably spoofed, because they don't register to a name or business! This is the email address they use. Cash.Advance.America7usa.com... PLEASE BEWARE. THIS IS A SCAM!!! I didn't lose any money fortunately!

I have been applying for a short term loan and received a call from a Justin ** from Cash Advance America, saying I had been approved for a loan for $8,000 and to call them on **. I just read about the scams going around and I have already been scammed by one of the loan companies that said they were one thing but the real company said there were a lot of fraudulent companies using their name.

So I received a few text messages from someone by the name of David ** and purchased an 86 dollar iTunes card then gave the card info to Mr. ** and they proceeded to tell me it would cost me 125 dollars for the insurance of my loan amount. Was told upon payment my account would be credited 5400 dollars? I realize I have been scammed and am out almost 90 dollars. I just hope someone else doesn’t fall for this. The number that called me was **.

So I was desperate for money, applied to a bunch of places and they was one of the few that sent a text saying I was approved, along with a phone call. Heavy Indian accent. They said I had to do a verification process in order to receive my funds. The process was that, they deposited say 600 bucks in my account one evening. The next day I sent it (morning time). Long story short the check bounced and now I'm in the hole a little over 600 bucks. I called them back with no hopes of getting my money back, 'cause I realized I was a sucker who was scammed and probably not a whole lot to do about it. They tried to tell me they'd make it right by doing the process again, and saying once I did it, I'd have 6000 bucks deposited in my account. ** scammers. Don't be a fool like I was. Sometimes waiting and thinking about better options is better than being vulnerable and accepting w.e. comes.

I was told I was approved for a $6000 loan. I had to go buy $147 in iTunes gift cards. I had to give them the number of the back of the cards. Which they redeemed after I gave the cards. Then they wanted me to send them $387 to finish my part saying that this will prove that I could pay the loan back, this was my verification process. Cash Advance USA, Dallas Texas ripped me off for $150. Something needs to be done to these con artists.

THIS IS A SCAM!!! Someone called Tim ** emailed me asking me to pay the $300 I owe since 2014. He was not even able to give me a phone number where to call. He send me an invoice for me to sent a check or money order. Just be careful. Don't send any money. They are scammers.

Just received this email and I know it is spam because they did not even put my name in the email and if I would owe them anything for sure they would have put my name in the email and even the amount that I supposedly owe. "As we didn't receive your payment so we are going to file this case against you on Tuesday October 10th, 2017 at your district courthouse. To know the courthouse kindly visit http://www.uscourts.gov/court-locator with your zip code. You will be served with a notice to appear at your district courthouse in next seven business days. You can still avoid this case by making a payment towards your total outstanding or else this case file will be executed as mentioned. Regards Manager, Legal Department, Cash Advance USA."

I usually get one to three calls per day on my cell which is my business phone. One day I took the call and when I asked "John **" to take me off their call list, he said, so many people have requested that same thing, the only way to be sure it's removed is to pay them $100. Can't anyone stop these predators?

I kept getting text messages, no legit phone calls, just texts. Now today they're threatening to take me to court, tell my employer etc for a $300 loan. Told them they can tell whoever, garnish my wages (I'm retired) etc., This was in an email they sent today 9/13/17. Now my loan is close to $1K due to interest etc. I just laughed. I don't take LOANS out for $300. I either write a check or use credit card. They want me to settle today for the $300. I'll never settle. Told them I'll have my lawyers ready also. I dont know who Cash Advance USA is anyway, let alone loan from them. Then I googled all this - it's a SCAM!! Must be bunch of out of work "lawyers" that are trying to scam people & scare them. I told them to bring it on, I'm ready! Ridiculous - get a real job!

I was offer a loan in a text message and since my credit is bad. I call the number, I notice the heavy accent. But I continue talking. They knew so much about me (phone number, social security, bank routing and checking account). I continue talking. I wanted $2000 he said "No you can have $9000." I decline but he said my funds would be deposited a few hours later after they confirm my account. I immediately took the money out of my account. He calls me 1 hour later and demands my online banking user name!!! I told him I don't have one. So he demands my bank card number!!! I said "No way I would not give you that ever." So I wanted to see how far he would go and he say: "How can you be so stupid not to agree with us so you can get $5000 in your account?" So after that I say "Forget it" and I hanged up.

I just received an email stating that I took out a loan for 300.00. Asked them what the account number was and if I could have a copy of the agreement and they said no that this was going to court. I asked for the case number. They gave me a fake number.

Cash Advance America called me up and said I was approved for a loan. I said "ok." First they asked me for my checking, Routing numbers name of bank then asked if I had online Mobile banking. Stupid me. I gave them all the information and to get to the point they deposited counterfeit check into my account and the bank closed my Account. Now what can I do? Please help.

Got a call today, 312-248-2234, and answered to hear that I was preapproved for a thousand dollars loan, and just call them back at same phone number. I called back, they answered Cash Advance. I asked "Do you have a web site?" I like to see how professional or cheesy a site is, as a place to start, in looking at a company. If their site is not professional, then neither are they! I even look for typos. Well, the guy just hung up on me. So I started researching (yes, I can use a grand or two this month), and found all of these reviews.

I received an email from someone saying I owe $300 but it has been moved up to $885 and they will be taking me to court and freezing my accounts, garnishing my wages. So I ask them to send the account number and when this was done no response. I have even ask for their phone number. All they keep saying is this is the final notice and how am I willing to settle. OKAY so I can't have your number. First of all why are we WRITING back and forth through emails.

I just got an email claiming that I had to get in touch with this company because of a $300 cash advance, and now owe $885.59. They claim to be taking legal action. I never heard of them and I have no idea who these people are. There is also no phone number on the email. I'm positive this is a scam and I think they are probably another out of the country scamming outfit.

Today I received an email stating I owe them money and as of today it was turned over to the courts. I have never borrowed from Cash Advance USA. You cannot get in touch with them in order to figure out if it's a scam or what.

I had received automated calls from this company 3-4 days in a row. I wanted to consolidate my credit cards. I decided to call back but every time I called, I would get a recording that the person I was trying to reach was not able to receive calls and to try later. Right then and there I thought... hmmm, this has got to be a scam. The following week, I received another call, I too, spoke with a woman with a very thick accent not to mention there was so much noise in the background, it was even more harder to hear her. Nevertheless, we began the loan process, until we got to the point she requested my username & password for my checking account. Do I really look like boo boo the clown. What legitimate company will ask for that info. When I asked her why she needed that info, she replied, they need to access the account to make sure it's my account. I told her she is a liar, accessing my account does not prove that it's my account.

So I have been constantly getting these silly emails from Cash Advance USA, I have no idea whom they are. Never took out a loan from any of these institutions. But I like messing with them when I do get them. Easiest way to figure out it is a scam, promptly ask them, "How can I send you the money so I can clear my name today?" They will come back with a stupid email saying if you pay '**' amount they will call it paid in full. I then ask them again, "How can I send the money right now to take advantage of this great settlement amount?" Their response would be something like what I received from them again. Stupid scam.

I was desperate money. I had applied for a short term loan. They called and asked me what I wanted. I said 2000.00 and they said they would give me 10000.00 something. I was like ok. I went to my bank and there was no deposit from anyone except for my wife's check. They emailed me saying that they're going to make it so I can't get a job. My account will be frozen etc. I contacted the FBI and sent them the email I received from them. So if they are reading this and I hope they are but the FBI is coming. Run and hide.

I do not owe these people. They go to class reunion.com or life.com, get your information and they act like you have a had a loan. I have not had a loan in 20 years, they can keep it up and I will sue for harassment. I am tired of these people trying to scam me. There is definitely something needs to be done about them. I had one removed from my credit report. They need to quit prying on people. Something needs to be done.

I just had a wonderful time jerking these people off. They've been robocalling me a couple of times a day for some weeks, so I finally decided to call back and really piss them off. No legitimate company calls you to offer you a loan - you have to call them and actually apply. Anyway, these jerkoffs kept hanging up on me so I kept calling back - 15 times before they finally blocked my number. I then used another phone to call again and pretend like I really wanted a loan.

A woman named Amy ** emailed and sent me a text that I was approved for $4000. Now I didn't need that much, but I called. Amy had a thick accent like from India. After straining to understand her she said it would be $250 per month. Not too bad I told her. But the catch... She wanted me to send them money first then they would deposit my money. What? She called it "insurance". I told her no and not to ever contact me again. Be aware of this company.

It's a ponzi scam. They make you trust them and then that's when you get scammed. I have police report on them and may go to the FBI. They want you to go get Green Dot cards, load them up and then they put money in your account and take it out. They have what is called burn phones, non traceable phones. Once they are used them up they get another number and try to sucker someone else.

I almost got scammed by them. No company will ask you for your user and password to your account. When giving you a loan. No loan company will ask you on good faith send them money when offering you a loan. Regardless of the amount. The 5000.00 or 10000 is nothing more than a scam to overdraw your bank account and you wiring them money that was never there. Beware and not do business with them.

The other day I applied for a short term loan and received a text message from ** from a Jason ** stating I had been approved for a loan for $5000 and to give him a call back. I was on the road at the time, when this number called my cell. I answered and it was some guy named Michael (sound familiar) from Cash Net USA. I told him I couldn't talk and would call him back when I got a chance. When I returned the call, Michael stated he was with Cash Advance USA. I told him I had not applied for a loan with his company, but he ** his way through and then said he was with Cash Net USA.

This past week and a half I got a email from Michael ** stating I got approved for a 1500 loan and the money would be put in my account within 24 hours. I thought alright great. Cause I needed to get my car out of the shop and have money for my kids so then I filled out the app and everything. He told me he needed my bank account information (note the only bank account I use is green dot bank). Well my phone has been out of minutes so he tried to call my work and got extremely hateful and rude when they said I was not there.

Tried to get a loan that they said I was approved for and after I provide I could make the first payment and countless calls asking over and over when I paid the money they became nasty and started calling me names as well as said that he really was in a foreign country even though it says New York area code. This is a scam. If they call you and they sound like they are from Pakistan. It's a scam.

Within the last week, I personally have received at least 50 phone calls from a company that claims to be Cash Advance USA. The people I have been talking to have accidents of people who sound to be from India. They call me and tell me I have been selected to receive a personal loan ranging from $3,000 to $15,000 and every time I have told them I am not interested and to take me off of their call list. They have continuously kept calling me and I told them if they did not stop I was going to go to the police. They told me they were going to keep calling me and to go ahead and go to the police. I went to the police department and filed a harassment claim. They told me to contact the Better Business Bureau to report them but upon speaking to the Better Business Bureau they said there isn't much they could do for the situation and they provided me the number to the Federal Trade Commission.

I received a call from someone with a thick East Indian accent who stated they were with Cash Advance America and that I have been approved for a loan between 2 - $10000. The reason they are able to offer this without any documentation is because the government is allowing them to finance people like myself that have a low credit score probably due to something that could not help. So the first guys verifies all my information. He knew my bank and my routing number and my account number. So I said, "Sure I need money, how about $5000." No problem but he would have to transfer me to his supervisor who would finalize everything. I told him there better NOT be any request for money up front. "Oh, No No ma'am you do not have to risk anything" as I am already approved.

Like many others, it appears, I have been the victim of these evil people. Thankfully something didn't seem quite right while I was talking to the "manager" on the phone. The day before I had applied online for an emergency loan. I knew I would be paying it off in just a few days so I wasn't too worried about the high interest rates, etc. I received a call from Robin while I was out running an errand in my car. After a lot of time with him on the phone I was told I could have up to $10,000. Wow! I said "Cool, I'd like $2,000 please." Robin says "wouldn't you rather have the full $10,000 we are offering?" I thought it over for a whole second and said "well, ok."

I went online to get a payday loan, a fake account using the name of Cash Advance USA payday loan, this fake online company deposit a fake social security check of $990.35 then asked me to buy $800.00 of iTunes gift card and tell them their number on the card then again they put a fake check into my online account of$1,759.45 which my bank called to tell me about both checks being fake. Oh yeah and I had to buy 1,700.00 in iTunes and give them their numbers so my bank is closed today and I have to start paying back the money starting October 1st.

My friend called me and she told me she applied for a loan, and she was uncomfortable with the information requested from her, and she asked for my help. I called on her behalf and I spoke with a guy named Peter ** with a heavy Indian accent. I started to question him about the initial of the loan and what's required from her to get the loan, and he told me that she needed to go to Walgreen, purchase an iTunes card, and pay 248 dollars.

I believed them 'cause I had been speaking with money bee for a few days which may also be a fraud/scam and they told me an adviser would be calling me to finalize what I was approved for. Well the guy that called knew all my info I had given money bee.com and the amount I was approved for. They deposited a test deposit to be sure my bank would accept then had the rest of my loan on hold. I could see it on hold in my account after I paid bills bought things my 2 year old needed that. I hadn't had the extra money for they withdrew all money and my account is now way overdrawn.

Received an email stating that this would be the final notice (first contact I'd ever received from or even heard of this company) before they went to court over a cash advance loan (which I have never done with ANY company) of 300 dollars which was supposedly overdue and with interest, now close to 900 owed. They refuse to provide documentation of "me" taking out this fictitious loan. I informed them that if they pursue the matter I will be countersuing for damages to my credit rating as well as court costs. I am hoping they do not pursue the matter, but I refuse to be scammed and just settle, as they suggest. Need to fight these scam artists who think they can scare you into a settlement just to avoid the hassle of defending a fictitious claim.

My husband and I have been in a financial crisis. Desperate times, call for desperate measures. In a desperate attempt to get us out of this black hole of financial stress, my husband was surfing the net looking for loans for bad credit. He came across an application, filled it out, and got a call from a guy with a thick Indian accent, saying that he was approved up to $20,000. He said, "We only need $2,000." These people claimed to be Cash Advance. They told him they would deposit $899.11 into our account of which we needed to withdrawal and send back to them via Western Union to ensure that our bank account was active. They deposited the money, he did as they said, and then they said the loan would be deposited the next morning. The next morning, the money obviously was not there. They called my husband and said that his credit was too low and he would have to pay $325 to ensure we would be able pay the monthly payments.

So someone from a (312) 878-9025 called me and stated I was approved for a loan for 5,000-10,000. I asked him, "How did y'all approve me for a loan for that amount just out the blue." He stated I was selected. I notice he was in a call center with a lot of people with the same accent. I call it the SCAMMER ACCENT... It sounded good b/c I need a new car. However I'm not dumb. I didn't give him any info. I asked was this a legit company, he stated yes. However after reading some reviews I'm glad I didn't fall for it. I hope this helps someone else out...

Like others I received a text saying I was approved for a loan. I called the number **. He had my information & all correct. He deposited $989.00 into my account. Anyway please don't fall for it. He got into my account taken me for everything I had as well as money I didn't have. My bank is helping me with this scam I fell prey to. The man has a very strong accent and is very persistent in getting you to do as he says. He makes himself sound trustworthy. They are out of Austin, Texas. He went by the name Eric **. I asked him about his name. He told me that his parents wanted a western name for him. Yeah, right. I will survive (barely), but what about others?

Even if you are registered with the National Do Not Call Registry, they STILL call. Apparently the Government can't do anything to stop them.

Someone claiming to be with Cash Advance USA. I received two calls 845-520-4438 and 775-237-3856. I had a weird feeling they weren't who they said they were and looked them up while one the phone. As soon as I did he hung up on me. Be very careful of how much information you give out.

They keep calling my phone 5-6 times a day with a pre-recorded message wanting me to get a loan. I have called them back and told them to take me off their call list... but the calls continue.

I received a call from a person claiming to work for Cash Advance USA. This person told me I was approved for a 15000.00 loan. They would need to verify I'm me. After we did so he told me that I would need to speak to his loan officer who would want to verify some information. This so called loan officer told me he need all my banking information including login and password information in order to process a check in my account. I said "no thank you. I would pass." Then he told me to go to Western Union and pay 275.00 dollars and they would wire me money. I hope this helps someone and these people get caught. I hate to see people tread on this.

I got a text message saying I had been approved for a loan and I have been filling out few loans online but when the guy said they needed $247 dollars before they could put the loan in my account I knew right then it was a scam. The guy was talking to me through a chat line type thing so I told him no way and that I would be reporting his company to the BBB. The guy messaged me back that I was a ** idiot and to go ** myself. I am screenshot everything from the beginning because it seemed weird - they didn't call me on phone. Somehow they already had all my information including bank info. I am taking all of the proof to the bank first thing in morning and then to police to try to file whatever kind of report I can on this company. If you get an email or text message from cash advance or cash advance USA don't even look at it and still check with your bank just in case.

I received a call from a ** saying I was approved for a loan from $2k - 5K. I said I didn't want a loan. He gave me the last 4 of my checking account and my ss#, and he knew my e-mail address. Again, I said I didn't want a loan and wasn't interested. He said he would be sending me loan docs to my e-mail. When I checked there was docs but you could tell it was a fake. They were also asking me for $185 for them to send to me $2k. I called my bank immediately and explained what is happening. I then called the number they left for me, and told them I knew it was a scam, and that I reported them. I said "I don't want your money and you can't have mine." He then said "We have your bank information, and we can take all of it." The address on the docs is... Cash Advance USA Ltd 401 Congress Avenue, Suite 1545 Austin Texas . The phone # is ** and it shows it's a Florida #. I work hard for my money, and no one is going to take it from me.

There a company name Cash Advance USA is full of **. They send me a email on friday 2/5/16 saying they going to hold my taxes because of a loan they "quote:" gave me back in 2012. **. They are a scam. The person Daniel accent is very very thick - can not understand nothing he say and he was getting nasty yelling when I ask him about all the information I said if you are a lawyer you can provide me with some detail. He had nothing to say and started yelling saying I need to pay a. There going to be a warrant going out for my arrest and case was download (610) 990-6104 (347) 434-4435... Don't answer the name - is a lawyer. Scam!!! Please people please don’t provide them with no information. Scram.

A while back I received an email saying funds were deposited into my account. I never applied for a loan, never had a deposit from them plus the email went to my junk box. So I didn't worry about it. Never heard anything back or about collecting funds. This was around Oct or Nov on 2015. Well its Feb. 2016 and I noticed some money was being taken out of my account for some service. I called the bank and made a complaint and I got the money returned. It showed up as an electronic check that I never approved.

I was contacted, via email by a representative of Eclerx LLC stating that I was about to be sued in court for a payday loan that I allegedly took out and never paid. I have always paid my loans back, they state they were never paid. Scam? Scared...

I was sent an e-mail stating I was approved for a loan I never requested. Like the other complaints they stated I had a loan and someone would be at my job. I don't work. I'm on SSD… to arrest me. Told them I'd be looking forward to that. ''NOTHING IS FOR FREE".

I received a call from a Josh ** with Cash Advance USA. He stated I was receiving a loan in the amount of $1000.00 and that it would be in my bank the next day and I would be paying back $240.00 a month for 5 months. I went on to tell him that I had not applied for a loan with them. He has very strong accent, could barely understand him. He kept saying "Yes, yes" to everything I said to him. The call ended and I laughed it off. The next morning I got papers thru email about an E-Sign. I was reading them and the words and sentences were so misspelled and off that it was too funny. Something told me to print them off which I did and thank goodness I did. It was a few hours and I received a call from my bank that I needed to go into my local branch where I opened my account at that my account had been compromised and they were attempting to scam me.

I was contacted by a John ** via email sending me "loan documents" I did not request for approval of 5000 to be deposited today. I ignored it then got three text messages and finally a phone call. I explained that I was aware of the Walmart etc scams, and was not looking for a loan and if I was certainly wasn't paying up front for one. He assured me that the other people were scammers and he was legitimate. He said his loans did not require upfront payments because he was legal. I asked what he required. He stated your bank routing number and account number so he could deposit the money, and also online login info and password!!! REALLY!! Is there someplace to report these criminals?

David ** called me November 20th 2015. Said he had all my bank info which he did. I did not give him any, figured he was with my bank. Said I qualified for loan of 5,000. He was going to deposit 940 into my account all I had to do was send it back Western Union so they could put the 5,000 into my account. So I did but it had to be done before my bank opened. When I asked why he said that way the 5,000 would be into my account when it opened. So hurriedly did it thinking being a single mom with 4 boys but one of them passed away from brain cancer the 5000 would help. Well my bank had the transfer pending, good thing, cause I found this page full of complaints. There is an investigation being done on the check.

These folks scammed me out of 200 dollars today. They called me offering me a loan for 5000 dollars, after applying for debt consolidation. I told her I was skeptical because I read reviews and the lady assured me that it was a company scamming customers because they used their company name. They told me that I needed to go to the nearest dollar store to purchase a company voucher to prove I could pay my loan back. After I research and told them my suspicions, that lady assured me it was not them and verified the information I provided the company online, and they actually got me approved for 10,000.

Don't trust this lying ass people and don't give them no money or information on yourself. And it be the same two people making up names and talking to you crazy and hanging up in your face and then call you all week. I need to call the BBB asap.

I was just recently contacted by text message that I had an outstanding balance with Cash Advance and I needed to resolve it while I was on the phone with him!! I told him that I have never had a payday loan with Cash Advance and he told me if I hung up the phone that the authorities would be contacted and I would be arrested!! I told him I needed to contact Cash Advance to find out if I really had an account with them and he got really agitated and then hung up on me!! This is not the way you run a business and if needed I will go to the police myself with a copy of my bank statements from the past 6 months to show that I never got any money from these people!! They definitely need to be shut down!!!

My story is the same as all the others. Never took out loan but being threatened with jail if I don't pay.

I'm very hurt today. I just got paid and I was trying to get a loan. This guy name Austin ** had me to go to dollar general to buy moneygram for 150.00. I did that this morning. So they got the money and they was going to send it to my bank but something happen so I call the guy back and he said "I can do it through moneygram" but they want 200.00 more. I told him "I don't have it". So they call me a liar and that I don't really need the money and they yell at me. And they said to me if I really need the money give them 200.00. It was horrible.

DO Not use this service. They will falsely deposit money into an unknown account and you will never see the money. However, when it's time to get paid they suddenly have your right account number. This is a scam. If you need quick cash go to local offices. This place needs to be shut down and fined.

On August 11, 2015 I was told from an agent at this company that if I pay $225.00 through MoneyGram at Wal-Mart I could get the $2000.00 loan that I was requesting. A few hours later the agent came back online and said that they will increase my loan and refund all funds back if I pay another $250.00 which totaled $475.00. Then he came back and said I cannot get my loan unless I open up 3 bank accounts and pay more money. Then I got upset. Today August 19, 2015 I receive a call from the General Manager and CEO telling me that those individual that done this will be suspended. Then he said I must pay another $250.00 in order to get my loan. I refuse to pay another dime and I am entitled to get my money back. If not the original loan. This company needs to be fully investigated of their actions here. I am very upset.

This company is a big scam. They have called me several times with several different numbers from different out of state numbers. Very pushy. This company should be closed down. Someone really needs to look into them. They tried to get me to give them my banking and routing number and my password to my bank. Afterwards when that didn't work they had somebody call me saying that they were called the number back. It was a Friday. It would take this seriously needs to stop. They stopped calling me once I had told him that I knew they were a fraud so every person need to read this and tell these people that they know that they're fraud. Again someone desperately needs to look into this company and shut them down. They are seriously hurting people. This website needs to look into this company. I'm begging. They were ruining my life for two weeks straight.

I just got scammed by these people. They said I needed to pay $220 for a downpayment. So I went to Wal-Mart and sent a MoneyGram. They wanted me to call back with the reference number and then they told me I needed to pay another $430 for taxes. I went to Wal-Mart again and paid that through MoneyGram. Once again they wanted the reference number. They said my money would be there in 20 minutes but then told me there was a bank wire fee of $699 and that the "IRS" agent would contact us. Right then I knew it was a scam. The guy even swore at me and pulled the race card. We have now contacted a lawyer and now they have the feds now looking for them. MoneyGram is nice enough to track the two MoneyGram orders and refund us our money back. DO NOT GO TO THESE PEOPLE!!! I've also contacted LifeLock and closed all my bank accounts to make sure nothing more happens.

I received an email from a Latoya Hill at Cash Advance Inc stating I owed their company $1140.61 when I never took out a loan with any company. They threatened a lawsuit against me and an arrest warrant when I never received a phone call or any correspondence from them until I got a "Final Notice" email from them with all my personal information in it, including my social security number. Number listed in email goes straight to a man that starts yelling at me to "PAY WHAT THEY ARE OWED or I will be arrested!" I'm a paralegal and know they have no basis with their claims.

I received an email stating I owe $936 & that I signed & received money. I have records of who I actually got my payday loan & it takes it out of my account. If I did they would've send me a written letter about it & they have to provide me with proof. I've read so many scams about this. And the threats about being arrested & sending letter to my employer. This scam needs to be addressed.

I got an email today from "Cash Advance" saying I owe them money. NEVER EVER borrowed money from them nor anyone for that matter... but they were saying I owe them $775 and I had to call them within 4 hours or I would have a warrant out for my arrest. I know it's a scam, how do I make it stop???

Being threats to be arrested for money laundering. Never received any money. Told I was going to be arrested and going to prison.

5 years ago we asked about a loan, decided not to, and called them and told them that we did not want one. Been calling me and my work for several weeks straight and then quit. The next year comes and they do it again. Then started threatening us with a Sheriff John ** etc (the sheriff sounded like he was from Pakistan or some middle eastern country). Our work finally threatened to sue them if he didn't stop. Haven't heard from them in awhile then my wife gets an e-mail from them threatening with lawsuit again. We have never received any money. No paperwork was signed by us. I know that there cannot be any cashed check anywhere since we have never gotten any money from them. Please can you help.

I keep receiving emails stating from a debt collection agency regarding an outstanding loan with Cash Advance USA, a parent company who they claim they also own several related companies. I need to pay $400.00 right now on an owing balance of $1,488.91 and if I do not pay the $400.00 within 3 hours I will be responsible $6,000.00. If the arrest is released then you won't get arrested. Please as other has stated do not fall for this scam. I have replied to them and said I want proof that I did the loan with one of their companies and when. I told the debt collector representative that I was not going to send any money till I got that information from Cash Advance and I will send them a copy of their email to me as well. These scams are serious and please do not send your money.

They have been calling me for three days, trying to get me to take out a loan. They keep telling me I can get thousands. And all I have to do is make insurance payment. I have told them I am not interested in their scam. Any company that ask for money up front is a scam. Learned that the hard way. But they keep calling. And almost begging to do it. Do not mess with this company.

They said that they will send the sheriff to my work & where I live, they said I will have to pay over 6,000 dollars in court fees. The person that has emailed me at least 15 times, her name is **. She said that I have to go & purchase a prepaid debit card, call them & give them this information. I just started a new job & I don't want to become fired. I need to work. Can you help with this please? Thank you. **

I've gotten an email stating that they were going to send me to court and other various threats. When I asked about what it was they said it was for a loan for about 785. I have never got a loan for that high an amount and not from this company.

I received a phone call, they said I was approved for a cash advance for a thousand dollars. My big mistake was giving My ck route #. I think this is a scam!! Need help. I've been a victim of identity theft and ripped off! Thank you for your time.

I received an email from Cash Advance USA saying that there was a warrant that was going to be issued for my arrest for not paying a loan that I received. I did not ever get a loan with them. I knew the minute I received it that it was a scam. They use fear to get you to send money. They say that if you don't you will owe more. How can I owe anything, if I never got a loan with them in the first place. Which of course I can prove. Tired of places like this trying to con innocent people.

Please be smart people, and always follow your gut. These people are bogus. First of all they call from all different kinds of out of state numbers, always an Indian guy with basic American names when their ancients are thick as anything. They are rude, and sound very robotic. You can even here what it sounded like a tv in the background one time I talked to them. Totally unprofessional and a waste of time and money. They use different websites to scam people, it's not just cash advance USA, there consumer payday loans and cash net. I don't know if they are really behind all these websites, but that's the websites they claim to call from when they leave me voicemails. I was thinking how is it that only Indian guys work at every single one of these websites.. Bc if they were real it would be different people, but every time they had left me voicemails it always sounded like the two same guys.

I keep getting phone calls on my cell, at work, and my dad saying I'm being sued by them. I call the number and it doesn't work. The guy said I'll be arrested but it's BS cause I been through this with other loans. As I applied for 1 but didn't pick any of the ones harassing me. This is the email: ** - dude is a jerk. I'm not scared, it's just getting annoying that there seems to be nothing I can do to stop these frauds. EVERYBODY COMMENTING, Y'ALL FELL FOR IT. A true loan company will NEVER tell you to send them money, ask for it to be wired, MoneyGram, etc. They ask Y'ALL to do that 'cause it can't be recovered once you send it. PLEASE be careful with this payday loan stuff.

I received an email from a Attorney **. Saying I had 24hrs to pay $1087.17 or they were proceeding with legal action. And if I choose to go to court there would be a judgment against me for $24,000.00. I tried to explained to the gentleman that I have never stepped foot into a Cash Advance office. He said, “No it's you. Are you going to pay?” I said “I am not paying anything until you show me a signature.” He wouldn't listen to anything I tried to tell him. I finally told him to go ** himself. And hung up. This person was rude. Plus the paperwork and the Warrant for my arrest looked real phony. This is not my debt. Is this a scam or should I be concerned. Karl Racine is listed as the state’s attorney’s office. The phone # is 1(866)978-6320. Again, I have never done business with this company. Thanks for reading.

Cash advance kept calling said I was approved for a 5000 loan. When they realized I had a rush card account they said I needed to go to western union and send a payment of 260 and 5260 would be sent back to me... Well it was getting late so I said I would send it IN the morning... but I couldn't sleep it was nagging at me so I googled cash advance ratings... Wow I almost made the biggest mistake of my life... Thanks for the heads up...

I was told I was eligible for a loan with CASH ADVANCE AMERICA. I sent them $200. Was told loan would be transferred into my account. Never was. Then was told I would be issued a check for the loan amount. I would have to send them an additional $170 and the check would be delivered by Fed-Ex within 1 to 2 hours.

I was contacted by Cash Advance USA who informed me that I had been approved for a loan & had all of my information. I was instructed to send money and after doing so, I was then told I needed more for insurance which after requesting the return on my was told if I cancelled that the money I sent was not refundable.

I have gotten some nasty emails. I have been told I'm an idiot, can go ** myself, if I have an attorney they can go ** herself. They're coming to my home and job to watch police drag me out and before this gets worse and I file lawsuit someone better be trying to make things right with me.

I tried to take a loan out with cash advance USA online. They told me to go to Walmart stores and MoneyGram them $110.00 for my first payment. That's what I did. After I sent them the money I had to call them and they transfer me to someone else and that person wanted another $395. Then they started calling me names, really bad names, and they said I'm not getting my money back because I didn't send them the rest of my money $395. After the fact I checked online with cash advance USA and they have a scam going. I called and reported to the Gladstone Police Department. I reported to the Better Business Bureau and also to the MoneyGram main office. The police called them and they were very rude to the police and knew my name before the police even had to say anything. Big skim scam. Do not use cash advance USA.

Had applied online but backed out information due to terms. Bad english/Indian accent "**" sent me email for loan. Wanted verify if I had money in account before making loan. Believe this is illegal. Also got last four my social. After reading reviews am not calling back. Will document any contact from him/them after this. #818-813-9067 but seems be lots of numbers after reading reviews from all over country. What can I do now to protect myself?

Soo of course I applied for a loan, was redirected to several different lenders and got lucky with Cash Advance Loans! I was told by ** that in order to receive $2000 loan I was approved for, there was a $149 processing fee! Okay cool, my credit isn't the best and this will be a security deposit. I went to the nearest location that had MoneyGram, and there was a problem with the T-Mobile PP Visa. It couldn't exceed $117.85 so this ** named ** ("the manager") told me to pay it and the $31.15 would be added to the 1st month bill. As soon as I gave her the reference number she told me that a system wouldn't accept it, and it needed to be the full $149! I then sent the $149 and was told I'd get back the $117.85 + $149 = $266.85 plus the $2000 loan.

This all started 2/25/2015. After being turned down by all of the online loan companies I applied to, I get an email from Cash Advance USA. This email was complete with an official looking PDF file with letterhead and CEO's name and everything saying that I was approved for a $3,600 loan. I foolishly called, was connected to a "man" named Ray ** who also had a thick Indian accent and began the "process" of getting the "loan" out of desperation. The first step was, like others have also stated, was to get a Green Dot debit card loaded with $167.00 to prove I could make the monthly payments because of my bad credit rating, which I did. I was also told that I was to not register the card because if I did, they would not be able to verify the amount in it, so like a fool I didn't.

Since I have refused to get a loan, a man by the name of Jack has called me everyday from a different number to sexually harass me. He tells me to ** and to have intercourse with him but in very explicit words. He talks very degrading to me then hangs up laughing. The closest I have gotten to finding a true identity is the name Stewart ** when a answering machine failed. Anybody else? I want to shut these people down.

Last summer my boyfriend needed money and I wanted to help him but had nothing in my savings. He asked me to apply for a payday loan since I had a bank account. I went through with the application, but I never electronically signed anything to finalize the loan, and neither accepted any deposit into my bank account nor allowed a withdrawal of funds for any loan (I have all my bank records as proof) since I was able to obtain the cash need from a relative. Since this time, I have continued to received phone calls about finalizing loan approval from several men with thick Indian accents, have continued to received emails from the people mentioned in other's reviews (a Jason, William, etc..) congratulating me on my loan approval and urging me to finalize the loan for deposit. I have done none of this!

I received an email from A1 advance today stating I had been pre-approved for a 5000-dollar loan payable at two hundred and thirty dollars a month for 24 months. Since I had been looking online for a payday loan I thought I would give them a call and see what they had to offer. I called Paul ** at ** and was told by a gentleman with a thick Indian accent that I was qualified to receive the loan. He then asked me how much money I had in the bank. I asked him what that had to do with anything and he said I just needed to verify that I would be able to pay back the loan. He asked me for my date of birth, verified my phone number, and asked for the last four digits of my social security number, which I gave him and now I wish I hadn't. He then told me that a loan officer would call me back with verification of approval for my loan.

Paul ** and Joel ** have a refund for me but holding it for $4k. The longer they hold it the more it cost. They have almost a year.

They called to let me know I qualified for a $5000 loan. I needed to send a verification of $238. I got it for $240 then I needed to send $389 for processing then they could not deposit the funds into my account so they would need to wire it to me in two different transactions, I would need to pay the wiring fee for each together $282 but they would pay me back. Then they wanted just $238 for verification so I went back four times to get cash and put it on a money pack green dot cards. Then the $282 should have been $300 in two different transactions...by the end of the second day I was out $1299, the next morning they could transfer the funds to my savings account but first they would need to make a deposit that I would withdraw and then send back to them. I then indicated I could just verbally confirm if the money was there or not. That I needed my money back or at least the money I had sent them around. He wound up hanging up on me and I got neither return nor loan.

I tried to get a loan. I had to put money on a green dot card but when it was time to do the loan they asked for more money and I told them I don't have anymore. They refused the loan. I asked could they refund my money, they said no and that was my kid's Christmas money.

I was contacted by Cash Advance by a man named "Jason", with a very thick Indian accent. He said I had been approved for 5000.00, and need to know how much I wanted so I requested 3000.00 of the 5000.00. I asked him if it was a payday loan, because I wasn't interested. He said no, I could pay it monthly.... great! Then he started asking weird questions, like how much money did I have on hand. I asked why he needed to know, and let him know that I didn't feel comfortable sharing that information. He informed me that because my credit score was low I would need to buy a voucher with the amount of my monthly payment, to show the lender that I could come up with the money. He said I would need to call him when I got to the store so he could tell me which one to purchase.

This company is a sham. They are always Indian not American ones. They have values and morals unlike these people and yes they always have a Tom, Bob, Anderson or a common English name when for sure they are not when you can barely understand them in the first place. Wanted 200 to verify then 495 to verify then some dude allegedly from the FTC tax department wanted 8% service tax before the money could be transferred.

I'm Jacqueline **. On 11/22/2014 I have a phone call that I had been approved for a loan from Cash Advance USA. While I need money for help my relative still in hospital at my country.. I ask the lady how much I been approved? She said up to 5,000$. I said I don't need that much and I just need 1,000$. Then right away she told me stay on the line and transfer me to talk to the man, his name is Kevin. He said congratulations I been approve 2,500 for 9-month loan. Every month I pay 300$.. Go to Western Union start on 12/23/2014. I agree. Then he told me he need 200$ to processing. I ask him how? He said go to 7/11 store, CVS buy the Green Dot MoneyPak give the cashier 200+4.95 and he will stay online to show me what to do next.

This has been the worst experience I've ever had. I really don't do online loans but I was in need of quick cash and I was match with this lender who took $80 from me and then tried to take 75 for a fee and when I called and told them about themselves they hung up, really worst experience ever!!!

I receive several calls a day from CashAdvance. First it is ALWAYS an Indian person saying their name is 'John **', or Tom, or some other common English name. They start off saying my loan was approved, and I pay no fees, no payments, etc., they just need to verify my information, and then their 'loan officer' will talk to me. I tell them "before I do anything, do I have to 'verify' that I can make payments? Do I have to go to a store and get some kind of card?" I then tell them "no thanks" and they DO get very argumentative. I can still hear them as I am hanging up. Soon as an Indian accent person calling himself John or Tom or Robert tells you your 5,000 loan has been approved. HANG UP!

Someone from the Cash Advance USA office keeps calling my private line telling me he wants to have sex with me. He is primarily calling from ** but also ** and **. He has an Indian type accent. I have recorded his calls. Does anyone know how to stop this? He first called offering to give me a loan, when I refused he started immediately calling me back. Does anyone have a corporate number to call? I have friends in the force I could ask to assist but hate to do that. This jerk should be fired, using his employer's phone to make obscene phone calls. Any ideas how to stop this? We keep blocking the number and then he calls back from a new one.

First they ask me to pay 49 dollars and call back in an hour. And then told me I had to pay another 99 dollars, told that my money would be in my account in five minutes. And money was never put in my account.

Like many of you I also applied for online loan coz I was in need! I was contacted multiple times a day by different numbers but it all sounded like the same man! When he told me To go get a Green Dot money card and I refused he started cussing at me saying why would I sign up for loan if I didn't want the money. I SAID I needed the money but if I had money to send him then I wouldn't need a loan! He tried to convince me to go to store MoneyGram counter and he would give me reference number to get the money after I sent him a monthly payment to prove I was a lady and would keep my word! I SAID I WOULD go to Walmart and do it and he said "No you CANNOT go to Walmart." It had to be one of these little side joints he listed off! I said "Why? Is it coz Walmart will inform me that it is a scam?"

A couple of weeks ago I was called by a guy named Daniel, he kept calling me and finally I gave in because I was desperate because I am backed up in rent and I'm facing eviction. So he tells me to go to a dollar tree, Walgreens, or CVS. I was at the mall so I told him that I was close to a CVS. He tells me to get a money green card and to give the CVS cashier the 80.00. That they needed me to do this for verification purpose. I have the cashier the 80.00. Then he asks me for my code in back of my card. I gave it to him. He keeps putting me on hold. I was on hold for about an hour. He then tells me that they paid tax on my loan and that I need to buy another green for card and send them 135.00. This is where I caught on to them. I was like, "why didn't you tell me this in the beginning? I believe you guys are scammers."

I was very skeptical on why this company needed to verify my funds with cash and not a bank statement like most lender's do not ask me to go to Walgreen or CVS Pharmacy. My agent was also very pushy and way too anxious for me to get that money and get to pharmacy. Thank God I knew that was all wrong and no lender ever does that ever!!!! I have no idea how they are getting away with it. They were offering me 4000.00. So it’s a shame they take advantage of people who need help and don't have good credit and take their money as supposedly the first payment!!! Shame on them!!! I’m glad I knew it wasn’t right and didn't get a penny from me. Don't deal with them, it’s a scam. Don’t go to store and load any money on any card. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. THEY EVEN TRIED TO CONTACT ME THRU 911. No kidding. I blocked them and they used an emergency number to get to me. YIKES!!!

I applied for a loan online for my car to be fixed and the next day received phone call from 312-912-7205. He called himself Richard ** but the caller ID said Josh **. Anyway he said I qualified for a 2500.00 with 250.00 pmt every month. I said no problem. Then he asked for a prepaid card of 250 to prove I could repay it but they would not take the funds that would remain on card, just locked afterward. He transfers me to another guy who wants 350.00 for loan paperwork. I lost it and said no. Then the next morning I get a call from John the owner. I tell him what happens. He explains in grave detail why they need the 350. Ok I’m desperate enough to try it. I really need my car so I get another prepaid Green Dot card then he wants 130 to release the paperwork another Green Dot card, then he wants another hundred. I ask for my money back. We go round and round.

I was called by someone named Sam **. His number is 786-375-9220, he told me I was approved for $5000 and my payments would be $160 month and I needed to put $120 on a money pack. Well, he said my account froze and I needed to send $100 to unfreeze it. Well I still had no money in my account and I need to add more money, needless to say they took all I had!!

I borrowed from cash advance USA $500 in December of 2013.... They took out of my account $1200. The agreement was that I would pay $500 plus fees of another $500, they took out a $200 more. That's when I stopped them from taking any more money.... this is not right, this is not we agreed on... I'm a working single mom working 40 hours a week and companies have to stop doing this to people like me... I wanna make a complaint and do something about this. Please.

I even told myself this sounds too good too be true. And even questioned why is this eastern Indian accented man named Alex **. Maybe I'm not p.c., but you don't hear of Hispanic men named Rhashid, same concept. But I needed the money and he was very convincing and has a good con going. He explained the loan was for 5000 and all I had to do was verify. I could make first payment which was 95. I told him I was skeptical, he assures me this is what he does for a living and swears in his children that all will be ok. I go get green dot pack. Give it to him over phone. He tells me 30 min. I wait an hour and a half.

I applied for a loan online and like many of you was told I needed to get a green dot card for $250.00 then I would get the loan put my $250.00 back. Of course this didn't happen and they asked for more money which I refused to give... counting my loss. I've been receiving calls from a man with an Asian accent threatening to take me to court. Today I received an email stating that I am under investigation for fraud and will have my wages garnished for not paying a loan I obtained from their company. I have never received a loan from Cash Advance USA so I know this is a scam but I'm wondering how we can stop these people from contacting us?

I was called by Jason **, was told that I was approved for a loan of 2000.00 and my payment would be 189.00 for 12 months. He begin tell me that the government has some new rule where you had to show good face before they could release the loan. The good face amount was 150.00 and that would show that you will pay that amount every month. Once I got the money put on a card and in 25 minutes, he would release the 2000 plus the 150.00 good face money.

Started filling out loan application online cause my wife and I got a little behind on the bills and got call from cash advance USA from a gentleman named Kevin ** that my loan application was approved for up to 5 thousand dollars. Ask how much I want. I said 3 thousand and then he proceed to tell me my monthly payment was 142 a month and told that I had a 35 dollar verification fee and that I needed to pay it on a greendot moneypak so I did. Then I was told to pay a 188 dollar wire transfer fee.

I am inform you about my stories like other people, like call me for loan, ask me about bank account, then ask me cash. Buy card from rite aid, loaded money I did for three time, money almost $1400, but I don’t get nothing. Please help me. Call me **.

After about 2 straight weeks of receiving phone calls from Cash Advance USA, I finally called them back and left a message since no one ever picked up. I left my name and phone number and told them to stop calling me. Not 1 minute later, they call again, so I picked up. Told him in no uncertain terms to quit calling me and take me off his list because I was not interested in any scam he was working on. He hung up on me. Now waiting to see if I will still get calls from him. By the way, this man is relentless. The two straight weeks of him calling was not just once a day. It was never any less than 3 times a day.

I received a phone call from a man who called himself Anderson. He said that he was calling from Washington and that I had been hand picked out of so many people in the County that I live in to get a loan that I would never have to pay back, that I could do anything I wanted with the $$$ and never have to pay it back. The amount was a little over $9,000. He gave me a phone # that I was to hang straight up with him and call immediately. I was to be sure and mention his name. So like a big dummy I hung straight up and called. A women answered the phone and proceeded to tell me what I had to do to get the $$$. I could get the $$$ either through my checking account or by Western Union so I told her that I didn't have an account, that I would have to get it through WU. She said that would be fine but in order to get the $$$ I would have to load $300 on to a PayPal card, call her back with the card # and in 20 mins I would have my $$$. I told her I didn't have $300 and she ask was there anyone that would loan it to me until I got my $$$. I said no and she seem to get angry and said, "well when you get it give us a call back" and hung up on me.

Was contacted by Cash Advance telling me I was approve for a $3000.00 loan and to go get a money pack for $100.00 and that I would get my money in 5 min. It never happened and I was also told to get my money I needed to add $179.00 more and I would get a total of $3279.00. Never happened and now I'm being evicted. I did notify the police and the fed trade commission also. I have closed my bank account. I doubt I will ever see my money. And really don't know what to do. Hope these people get caught.

I was contacted by this company on multiple occasions and the accent of the caller is always of Indian descent. The first time they contacted me that told me, I was approved for a loan of $5000 or whatever I wanted. I knew at that moment, something was wrong and that this could be a scam artist company. I also received an emailed approval on Cash Advance USA letterhead. Whatever you do never send money to collect money!

Well like a fool I thought I really had a loan from these people. Please don't give them any money. First a guy by the name of Steve ** tells you are approved then tells you to go to to the store and get a Green Dot. Then when you give them that money they will keep telling you to go to the store and give them money off of a MoneyPak. People please don't do it. They took my children's school money and the money I was saving to buy my fiance a ring for our wedding. Please people Cash Advance is a scam. They are going to try and call you from all different numbers as well.

I have been contact by these Indian accented crooks from 312-788-9647 claiming they are from Cash Advance USA saying I have been approved for a loan of $5000. I was in need of some funds so I talk to them to see what they are up to. They asked me for my bank routing number and bank account number to transfer the fund to. When they ask me to purchase a money 'voucher' to verify $300, I know it's a scam. I've been trick once before. When I point out their scam, the guy on the other end start cursing and berate me with all kinds of profanities...

They are saying that I owe on a pay day loan that I have NEVER received. Cash Advance USA would not give me the loan because I do not have a traditional checking account. I am also going through a Debt Consolidator for any payday loans that I may have had. This guy Attorney - Sam ** who says he is with Office Of The Attorney General RI has sent me so call legal emails about the lawsuit. They say I owe $3341.86 on a $300 dollar loan but will settle for $945.67 which again I never received. Also the emails are coming from a Gmail account. My consolidator informed me that it was a scam and to report them!!

James ** with Cash Advance Usa contacted me via phone and said I was approved for a loan and to prove my creditworthiness I would have to put $500 on a pre-loaded Pay Power card from Food Lion. Initially the loan was for $7000 and we settled on $16000. He sent me the documents via email even though he said his name was James ** he had a foreign accent so I believe he was using a pseudonym. Well I purchased the card but before I contacted so called James I reported my card lost/stolen to ensure they would not take money off my ccard.

My name is Yvette ** and I was just scammed by USA Cash Advance. This man was calling my phone and told me I was approved for a 3000 dollar loan. He kept on calling, he told me all I had to do was go to 7 eleven and get a voucher to show I can pay for the loan every month. He told me I needed to show I can pay $150 so I went and got a moneypack for $150. He said he was not going to take my money and he did and told my 3000 dollars would be in my account by Monday when it was only supposed to take 15 min and this just happened on 9-29 -14. Somebody needs to stop this man. I did not have money scams like him. He's playing with people and their kids. He needs to go to jail and give people back their money he has taken.

Calling for a payday loan for more than 4 times a day: 7074907993.

The cash advance service contact me via email saying they were taking me to court if I didn't pay $925.26 and said I could green dot the money and make payment installments. Used a reference number **, trying to see if this is a scam.

I applied for a loan. They started calling at 7am telling me I qualified and what my terms would be. Then they say I need to show that I have at least my first payment available and to apply it to a Vanilla load card at CVS, and that my loan would be in my account in 15 mins if not to called back. Before I could call them they called me saying I had a red flag on my SNN and that my loan was frozen including the money from the load card and it would take $100 to release the loan. Then said it would be deposited the next business day.

I was called at (815) 5663404, Illinois. Add to contacts call forwarding call screening. Sunday | September 8, 2014 | 7:27 pm EDT | 15 minutes 12 seconds. Trying to do one of those cash advance loans scams. As soon as they said I had to buy a money pak card or something like that I knew right off it was just a scam. Wish someone could do something about them. They have scammed a lot of people and would like to see they pay the price for their dirty deeds.

My daughter called Cash Advance USA trying to get a loan to fix her car and they approved her for loan but first she had to pay a 500 dollar fee with a prepaid card to show that she could make payment. Then the funds would be put in her account. After that they called her and had her pay a $70.00 fee. THEN told her the money would be put in her account. Called her back after that and wanted 220 dollars more for more fees to release the money. Then she called me to find out what to do and I called them to try to stop the process and they said there was nothing that could be done. That she lost the money because she could not meet their requirements for the loan. Then they laughed about and said they got her money in their pockets now. Do not deal with these people, they are using different numbers 312 912 7205 is one 217 960 6265 is one and they are all in the same room ripping off everyone that is trying to get a loan through them. They must be stopped. I am going to file a complaint with the PA Attorney General on Monday, this has to be stopped. It is a scam. Stay away from them. Try calling the numbers provided and see how they get when you tell them it is a scam what they are doing.

Don't go to Cashadvance.ca. They told me to get a prepaid card and put $500 on it and they would not touch it and to call with the card number when it's done. I did this and what they do is steal the money off the card and tell you that they need more money. I'm now dealing with the police and courts to go after them. Please people don't do it. It's a scam. It really is. I learned the hard way but want to keep others from getting scammed. You never pay to get a loan and I should of went with my gut feeling but all I seen was $5000 in my head and now I'm out $500. I will get you guys. They go by diff names Shawn, William, Danny and James **. Don't trust any of the Cashadvance.ca.

I received an email from Cash Advance USA saying I was approved for an installment loan in the amount of $10,000.00. To begin with, if I needed to borrow $10,000.00, I definitely wouldn't go through a cash advance service. And 2nd.... Really people, how much sense does it make to have to pay money to get a loan. I hope they catch these guys and I hope the people of my country, USA, smarten up!

They called me from Illinois and told me I was approved for a loan, I would not pay anything. My payments were for 12 months, I would pay nothing. Then once to account dept, I was asked to put $100 on a Green Dot Money Card and I would give them the number. This was to verify who I was. I said that does not verify who I truly am. And I have been scammed by Green Dot Money Cards before, without get my money back. Even the Green Dot Money Company will try to say they are reimbursing you. Then I was asked to use MoneyGram and I would get all their information after that... Well you will lose your money. I know there is no way to get their company information on the MoneyGram phone.

Received call from cash adv usa pn: 773-312-5364. He took my bank account info and then told me I had to go buy a prepaid card and load $150 cash on it to prove I had the income to pay the $500 loan back because they had been ripped off before. He also told me to keep him on hold while I drove to cvs. Said I couldn't buy the prepaid cards at Walmart.

Hello, everybody please don't do business with Cash Advance. It is a sham. Please don't buy more load card and please don't sent them no money because you will not get nothing back but your feelings hurt, so please don't do business with these crooks. It's all about money, money. So please, stay away from them. I'm trying to see what we can do about these shams people. If anyone know how to get your back, please let every one know, please.. And please stay away from these people Cash Advance USA.

Used these people to try to get loan. They used the green dot scheme. Wound up paying out $400 to the people and never got loan. They will continue to harass you. Really feel taken and stupid. Was only trying to clear some bills. This company needs to be stopped.

I had received a call from "Mr. ** " he is an agent for Cash Advance USA. He has told me I was approved for a 5,000 loan. All I needed to do was get money on a green dot money pak. I did so and then next thing you know I needed to do it again but this time it was 175. Needless to say I am so in dire need of the loan I believed them. So I tried they came back to saying I needed 197 followed by 495$. After arguing with the "manager Mr. ** " I was told without paying the 495$ I would not be able to receive the funds. And also am not able to get any of the money I had paid back.

Have lost $200, $299, $346, $346,$272 for a combined total of $1463 to a very possible SCAM. The main info that I have is two phone numbers 217-960-6265 and 312-912-7205 with a business name of Cash Advance USA. After paying the $299 I was transferred to the tax department where I was told by Mr. John ** that I needed to pay tax on the $5000 (Per IRS) of $346. He told me once that was paid I would have all of the $$ that I had spent (plus the $5000) would be put into my checking account.

I was told I was approved for a loan and all I had to do is load 300 on a green dot Money pak card. The agent Jerry told me the money was to show I could pay and it was for the amount of my monthly payment. Jerry said they would not take the money and I could use it after they verified it was on the card. Then the loan money would be deposited in my account.

I filled out for a loan with what I thought was a bank to get some bills paid and to get my kids school things. I'm a single mom and just got put on disability so I am behind. Anyway I was told they just needed to confirm that I would be able to make my payments but no money would be taken from me. Well they took $300 and when I told them to put it back they got mad which I don't care. I had to borrow that then they called me again and I told them that I had turned them in and that they needed to put my money back. The guy got mad and said I sled for the loan. I said, "yes but I didnt ask for my money to be stolen." He then told me that if I would send show I had another $200 they would finish my loan so I hung up and as of now they are still calling me. He is in California which I just found out is illegal to take money from anyone for a loan and I live in Arkansas which again found out they was not even supposed to try and do a cash advance loan.

Wish I had read this website first. I had filled out many loan applications online and everyone calling back wanted to have you Pay a fee first. These folks finally called and I unfortunately gave them 180, 210, 262 and 262. After they said they tried to deposit in my account, I was supposed to have a 500 balance to get it. Then they said Western Union AND supposedly a gentleman from WU told me I was in bad name with them and need a card of 250 balance to get funds released from WU. I called my bank and an attempt was made to deposit in my account and my account was not on hold. They still have not released a mtcn number to verify funds ready in my name. An expensive lesson in fraud. Do not ever buy green dot cards to get any loans or materials.

In the past four days, I have received a call from what I thought was a legit loan company called Cash Advance USA or First Cash Advance as they told me. They said I was approved for up to $5000. So I agreed for a loan for $3500. They proceeded to tell me I have to pay $110 to show their company that I was not empty handed. So I did as I was asked. Then they proceeded to tell me that I had to pay a transfer fee of $190 so I did so. Then I was referred to what I thought was Western Union. Then I was told I have to pay for insurance on my money - Which I did. Now when I call them, the number is no longer active and I cannot get my money which I'm dependent on. Now I'm out over $500 and still no one can tell me when I'm getting my money. They keep sending me back and forth from the loan company to this supposed Western Union. This is a scam and when I do get a hold of someone from First Cash Advance, they hang up or tell me to hold then hang up. Please help me. I'm completely screwed out of my money. Please help.

They took a little over a thousand dollars form me and I have not receive anything from this. Me and my nine years old son is at risk of being every evicted.. Is there any way to get my money back?

I wish I had never heard of these thieves. They sold my banking info to as many as they could. This started calls every 5 minutes from every scamming shark out there for the first two weeks. Even 3 months later I still get calls daily. Most of the calls are from disposable cell phones and most have a deep Indian accent to the point you can't understand what they are saying. I get threats all the time they will charge a fee for not taking the loan. After fighting withdrawals from my bank, I eventually had to close my bank account. I would get illegal ACH charges to my account, mostly from Russia, China and India.

On July 18th, I get a call from Gary ** if that is his real name stating that I got approved for a loan. All I need to do was send him a $120.00 fee that needs to be put on a greenpak card. I did that and he confirms that he received the money. He then proceeds to tell me that my loan should be in my account in 5 minutes. I get a call back stating that because my bank routing number does not accept out of state transfers that I need to go get $299.00 to put on another greenpak card so that he could wire the money to me through Western Union. I said ok. That is a total of $419.00 that I sent to them.

They stole $60 from me as we speak. Trying to get me to send them $100 more.

I said that I needed to borrow $6,000.00 and they said okay. First they told me to go HyVee for a reload card of $185.00. I would have the money in my account the same day. Then I went to HyVee and they don't have it in South Dakota. They told me to go to CVC, Walgreens or Dollar Tree. I asked why couldn't they take it out of my bank account. No we can't do that. I asked them if they were actually a company, and they hung up on me. These people are fraud. They keep calling and want you to give them money, but will not help you out. They are all talk like they are foreigners and when you ask to speak to a supervisor, they hang up on you.

I was contacted by a place called Cash Advance. They also went by First Cash/Star Cash. I keep getting emails and phone calls saying that they will call my place of employment and they are threatening me. I told them they are being reported and I know they are scamming me. These people are relentless in pursuing hard working people who sometimes need help. I don't know how they got my information and I am tired of being scammed. I also spoke to someone from my bank and she called them to see what was going on. They got ignorant with her and they hung up on her. The scammer told me that they would take money out of my bank account and they didn't need authorization to do it. Please don't fall for these people. They want your hardworking money and they have accents but use normal names like Bill or Emma to scam you out of your money. FYI, I never filled out any applications or submitted anything.

On June, I was call by Sam **, say that I could get a loan. I need to get a Green Dot card for $80.00 for a filing fee. I did I call him back and he said that the money won't go thru my bank. Had to do another $89.00 and I did. Then Mark call me and said that I had to pay $159.00 for a insurance and did that. I call him back. Then because I did what they said, they're giving me more money but I had to give them another $150.00 for money insurance because there was loan me $3500.00 and I did that. So call them back and now want another $189.00 and I said no. Call Mark wanting all my money back and he said, "Linda, go get a $100.00 Green Dot card and see that the money go back on it," and I said, "No, like you do all the other times." Am wanting to let all other don't do it.

I received a call from James @ 12:20pm CDT. He asked if I was interested in an installment loan. I filled out a form last night (7/10/2014), so I thought this was legit. I called him back after work at 4:30pm. He said my $4,000 loan request was approved. He then said I needed a $200 "verification fee". As odd as that sounded, with no paperwork being sent, I decided to do it. I went and put $200 on my debit card. I called him back and then he said he can't verify the account with a debit card, and wondered if there was a CVC or Walgreens by me. I said no.

I received a call from ** on my work cell phone. When I answered it was a man of Indian origin who said he was calling from Cash Advance USA and wanted to offer me a loan. When I asked him how he obtained my # because I didn't request this information he started screaming at me and called me a filthy mother **, dirty **, and told me to go ** myself. When I called Cash Advance USA to inform them that one of their employees did this, the lady I spoke to said "he is not with our company" not sure how she knew that, so when I asked her if I could speak to a supervisor or get a # to their corporate office, she said "WHY"? I explained that if this guy is ripping folks off, using their company name and is not an employee and the real Cash Advance USA knows about it and does nothing they could be liable. She hung up on me. These folks are the worst kind of scum. Either this guy IS in fact an employee and they are covering, or this company REFUSES to do their due diligence and make sure that they are not being misrepresented and doing what they can to prevent someone from getting ripped off.

I recently lost both legs to a accident. In desperate need of a loan. Found a place called "Cash Advance USA", they promised to help me. Then they proceeded to ask for the first payment of $250.00, then they said needed $220.00, then if I wasn't naive enough, they asked for $80.00 more. Then they had me go to Western Union and pick my "Loan Money". No money came. I had to beg and borrow to get the "Required Loan Fees and Taxes". Now I'm completely devastated and have Nowhere to Turn. I'm so Lost. Please don't be Fooled by Cash Advance USA. They're Nothing but Thieves.

I had applied and received the first of "MANY" calls from these jerks. I was told that I was approved for $3,000.00 but I needed to show them I was going to pay my loan back and have like $175.00 in my account to verify. The flag went up and while I was speaking with this person I goggled their name and saw the complaints and read them off. Finally he started using some choice words and I engaged him happily. He hung up and the calls came in like water.

Contacted by Cash Advance USA. Stated I had been approved. Needed 300.00 on a Reloadit card to verify first payment. Money taken, then needed 180 wire trns fee. Money taken. Told money deposited. Check acct and call back. Then was told can’t get loan due to credit score... I never gave my ss#. Said raise my score to 700 and I could get the loan plus money they took off the Reloadit card. Do not give these scammers a dime. 480.00 lesson learned.

This organization is the biggest scam group ever! They use a multitude of ghost numbers that show up on caller ID. Every rep is either Indian (from India) or some Middle Eastern country (not that there's anything wrong with that) and they give false names like Austin ** or William **. It's comical really. Then they ask you to make your first monthly payment in advance. Come on, really? Lol. When I told them that I read about their scam techniques they became abusive and threatening. Real tough guys. In short, don't do business with these losers. I consider them no better than dog waste.

I contacted for loan. I would have to pay $120.00 for the guarantee of the first payment. I paid then they said transferring funds and check bank in 35 minutes. No funds... Called them back, said had to pay $180.00 funds transfer. No funds... Called back. Pay the taxes, $220.00. No funds... Called them back. Pay $175.97 for insurance on the loan. No funds... Called them back. Said they have to collect $150.00 origination fee... I really blew up.... Please stay away from this company. Before I tried to do business with these people I looked them up and could not find anything negative at all..... Now I do see the lady that had the same experience as me.

I recently applied for a $1000 loan. I kept receiving a call with area code 512, and it showed that it was from Texas. So I picked up the phone and this guy had a weird name that didn't match his accent. They asked me for $120 to proof that I Will be able to pay the monthly amount needed. And then they asked me to pay extra $137 because the deposit of my loan was not being accepted because I didn't have credit. But I had mentioned earlier to him that I didn't have credit and that's when he asked me to show the 120 dollars through a card called a White Vanilla card. And he would ask me to use a brand new card in order for the funds to get through.

I was told that I had to send 500.00 to get loan as security then another 420.00 for fees and would receive my loan in 2 hrs. Now I have an empty bank account and the people been very rude to me. I am very broke and very hurt that people will do this to you.

These people will not quit calling me. The first day they called it was about 10 times! They kept saying I was approved for a $4000 loan, but I needed to get a green dot card with $200 on it to prove I could make the 1st payment. I told them if I had $200 I wouldn't be asking for a loan. They keep calling me about 2 or 3 times a day, even leaving messages still. I told them Monday, I wasn't interested & today is Thursday & they already called this morning! Most of the time it's from 813 area code or 213 area code. I don't give money to get money. I did that once with someone else a few years ago, lost $1000! Not doing it again!

My husband was looking for a loan. He came across this company who says their name was Cash Advance USA. They say he is qualified for up to $5,000. He agrees to the terms and accepts $4,000 with an installment of $187 for 24 mo. They tell him he needs to purchase a GREENDOT MONEYPAK card to show the first $187 is available. Going back and forth with this Mr. Frank ** (Indian accent), he says I bought the wrong card and it will not work and he told me to write it down and does not think I am taking this seriously. I raised my voice and said that we did not have the $187 that we could not even use now to get this loan and I did not appreciate him talking to me that way, and to NOT call me again.

Cash Advance USA or Cash Advance America - I was trying to get a loan to help catch up on bills. These two places called all day, they asked me to get a specific prepaid card with $250 so that they could verify my ability to pay. They told me that it would not be used, they just wanted to verify. They called back for the card #. And told me it would be added to my loan, and said cut the card up. Then they kept me on the phone for 30 min. Then told me that the money could not be transferred to my bank, so I would have to go to Western money and I would have to get a voucher for $500 in order to get the money. I was so stupid from being stressed over the lack of money, I should have looked them up. I lost $250, which was the last of money I had.

Yes I applied online for a loan worth 5k and then different companies calling me for my loan. And then there was cash advance USA. They told me to buy reload card. I lost 860.00 on this loan just for them to transfer me. Gave me a MTCN # and I called the western union to verify if the money is ready to be pick up. I look like a fool there in the western union saying there is no match. I feel so humiliated and looking around to borrow money just for me to get the loan. I need 5k. Turns out lot of Indians calling me big Accent the name go by Richard **, Shawn ** you name etc. I never got the loan I wanted. I end up with debt on top of my head. Rent was on line and car payments. So much bills I was behind with this scam people, Indian low life scam company. Wish the FBI will put a end on this.

On May 17, 2014 I applied for a small loan online. The following day I was contacted by several of these companies calling me back to back. I told them to take me off their call list, they ignored. Cash Advance USA was offering me $2000 and My Pay Day was offering $3000. They both had heavy Indian accents but gave me names like Thomas **, Daniel ** and a woman calling herself Rose. I believe both companies are run by the same people. Both companies claimed I was approved and kept calling me every 15 minutes claiming I needed to pay a verification fee of $92 for a 2k loan or $138 for a 3k loan. After sending me across town twice to get a "Reload It" cardboard card I should've known this was a scam.

Was contacted by a middle eastern man and applied for a loan. I stupidly put $150.00 on a "moneypak" card to "prove" that I was capable of paying the loan back. I was then told that I would have to give them another 150.00 to finish the loan. When I did not I was told that I just lost the money. The person originally told me his name was "Mike **" but after complaining to him about the money, I asked his real name, he told me that it was "Osama Bin Laden" and further told me to "catch me if you can". These guys are straight up criminals who will steal your last cent. I can't believe they are allowed to continue to operate.

I was running short on money so I applied for an online cash advance. Received a call from David ** telling me that my credit score was low and I need to provide financial stability. I asked to do so by purchasing a Green Dot card and loading $90.00 on it which I did. I called Mr. ** back to let him know I made the transaction. He assured me that an advance of $1000.00 would be wired to my account. He stated that he would call once the transaction was completed. He didn't call so I called back and was told that I need to put an additional $134.00 on the Green Dot card which I refused to do and asked for a refund of my $90.00. He wouldn't refund my money but kept trying to pressure me into giving the additional $134. I told them they were scamming and I would report them. I was scammed out of $90.00.

Received emails from Daniel ** of American Legal Service at ** claiming I owed money to Cash Advance USA and he was going to file a claim against me and the police would show up at my door unless I paid him money asap. I asked for proof that I signed anything and he refused to provide it. I turned this in to the FBI and the FTC as an email scam.

I applied for a loan online. Then I received a call from a Mark ** with a Middle Eastern accent stating that I had been approved for a $3000 loan. The number on the caller ID was 213-814-4047. He then transferred me to a John ** who informed me that I had to buy an insurance policy on the loan for $150 and to send it by Green Dot Money Pak which I did. Then they asked for $197, $250, $300, $390, and then $500. He then gave me two reference numbers that he said was for Money Gram and a number to call, 786-406-6058, which was answered by another man with a Middle Eastern accent. He said that I would have to pay $678 to get my funds. I guess I am a little slow before I believed I was being scammed.

Fraudulent loan company making harassing phone calls! Asking for Hillary ** with thick accents. When told there is no one here by that name, they offer you a loan. Told them to cease and desist after more than 6 calls in an hour. Asked to speak to a supervisor. "Jack **" gets on the line as the supervisor and apologizes, but the office continues to call. 14 calls since 9:30 am. 4/29/14, I was able to retrieve several numbers from my switchboard. I called them back and began to ask questions regarding their business and location, to which the man who answered replied "We will stop calling." They call from many numbers and claim to be at an office in Los Angeles - **. Do not give them any information! It is a fraud!

After reading some of these reviews, I remembered my experience with this agency. A couple of weeks ago, a guy with a heavy Indian accent called me claiming to be an attorney. He proceeded to tell me that Los Angeles Police will be at my address (he recited it) to arrest me for not paying a loan out yet. I explained that it was his lucky day since he'd just happen to be talking to a former law enforcement officer who knows the REAL law and that if LAPD show up at my house, he'll be working for me for the eternity of his life after I've sued him and his employer.

Received numerous phone calls from this company. Every 10 minutes. I told him I was not interested and to put me on the do not call list. I hung up. Called me back. I asked where he obtained my number. He said my boyfriend and started saying very nasty crude thing that I cannot repeat. On 4/22, received 5 more calls... I am being harassed by this company.

I just received a phone call about 10 minutes ago from a person with a thick Indian accent saying that I owed Cash Advance USA $475.00. However, first I received a "911" call to my cell from another person (female) with a thick Indian accent stating she was with the Illinois State Police Fraud division and that I needed to call back this number 646-396-5702. I did call that number and never got an answer. The person named Rahul ** called back claiming to be from this fraud division. He threatened that I would be arrested because I didn't pay back a payday loan, of which I don't have with this company. I asked why I wasn't contacted in writing (as most legitimate) legal/attorneys do when you have been turned over to them or a collection agency. He explained that I would get a summons to appear in court unless I could pay $125.00 today. I told him I would work out payment arrangements and said that he couldn't do that.

This company is a robber of the money by the hundreds of thousands by pretending to give quick loans to honest people (like myself) that just would like to get ahead of the game with advance cash. This company need to be investigated and stopped from stealing people's monies by way of a gift card claiming to hold the soon to be deposited desired loan amount, for (140.00) which never happens. They this amount and call back to interest you to get even another card for (450.00) because of IRS has some kind of hold on your ssn, which is a falsehood and fabrication of a untruth. This one thing I know, I am not the only one nor first one that this has happen to; yet I cannot speak for no one else but I am going to do some other than sit back and say, oh well?

On April 1, 2014 a man by so call name Mr. Jason ** from Cash Advance U.S.A. told me I got approved for loan. I needed a loan of $5,000 dollars. I was to get a Green Dot MoneyPak and add the money amount of $100.00 dollars and another Green Dot MoneyPak of $130.00 dollars... And another so call Mr. Peter ** said I owe taxes of $90.00 dollars. Pay it all to get the Loan. So I went to a Check Casher place, sign the to receive form. Mr.Jason Euros gave me the MTCN# and Nothing no Loan!!! Those ** kept my money. I ask them to refund my money back. All Mr. Jason ** said, "Sorry we can't." They are nothing but crooks, scammers, evil, selfish, greedy, fake company. Don't listen to them, they are liars. Those ** need to be caught and stopped and in prison!!! I hope someday they get caught. Make those crooks pay for it!!!!! Those bush of thefts should pay bad don't get away.

I received a threatening voice mail from some mid-Eastern accented guy about a lawsuit. I called the number back. He had the last 4 of my SSN, bank name but wrong acct #. He wanted to out talk me so I listened to him say a lawsuit against me was being filed for theft, check fraud and some other stuff for monies I never got from them. After he finished threatening me, he said I could speak. I told him some facts: I am a degree graduated PARALEGAL and I was reporting his company and USA CASH ADVANCE to the Attorney General Office in their state and mine wherever their business license is. He hung up. Lol.

I received a phone from a James **. He called and left a vm advising that I had a legal complaint against me and that if I didn't call back promptly that I would be arrested and that they would send my employer a letter in black and white and have me terminated. So I called and he said that he was from the Legal Affidavit Department out of New York. He even gave me a case ID number of **, that I have three charges against me. When I asked for the web address he said just put in USA Cash Advance. Also, when I said that it was a fraudulent call and told him that I couldn't get arrested for this and that he couldn't have me terminated, he said, “Yes I can” and I am going to jail and hung up.

This company called me saying I was approved for up to a $10,000 loan. I agreed to $3,000 and they proceeded to have me put $155 on a prepaid "Vanilla" card. Once they retrieved the $155 they said they would deposit the money into my bank. The next day I still hadn't received the money, and someone with a male voice called posing as someone from my bank (no idea how they called using my bank's number) saying that it is against their policy to work with this company. I called my bank immediately after the call and they said that nobody from the bank called me, and all the people that work at my bank are female. I then called Cash Advance USA and they said they cancelled my loan, because my bank accused them of scamming me. They also claim they are sending me back the $155 via postal mail, and it should arrive within 48 hours.

This is bull!!! Do not put your info online!!!! I got a call from cash advance usa. I didn't answer the first time. They left a voicemail threatening me something bad was going to happen to me if I didn't contact them back! So at the moment I was scared until I called back and they were saying I owe 300 dollars and they were pressing charges on me! They said they had deposit 255 in my account and I never paid them back for a "loan" during the whole time they had me on the phone. I was laughing because I knew I didn't owe anyone anything specially these scammers! I was trying to to get as many information from them as I could but they wouldn't give any. I then ask what day and what time DID I received that money and they couldn't even tell me!!! I then told the guys these was ridiculous.

I think I have been scammed out of 710.00. I want to try and shut down this company and receive my funds.

I feel caught between rock and hard place. After I have sent them close to $2000, they say there is just one more hoop. Another $578 is needed. I ask that they just return all the money I have given them. They say they can't as it is incorporated and added to the loan proceeds. This $578 is 10% of what the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, which is a Bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury says I owe. But I can't get anything from them as to who it is I owe or for how much. But this $578 is holding up the delivery of my loan.

I am a single mom, needed help with a very high electric bill. Had $230.00 of it but these people told me that to get the loan, they needed me to send them that money and stupid me I did. Then they told me that they were going to pay off my small payday loan and put the money back in on the loan they were going to give me so with that borrowed $385.00 from my mom and told her as soon as the money was deposited, I would get it back to her. Well I got a call and was told the money had a hold put on it by IRS and I know that I don't owe them. They said I needed to get the $619.00 so they could pay IRS and get the money released and I said I don't think so and that was the last I heard and I still owe the $385.00 on payday loan. They did not pay it. And of course all done by Green Dot card.

This company has been calling me several times to say that I am already pre-approved for a loan up to $5,000. They say that I must verify my ability to pay by purchasing a Re-Load it voucher at the Home Depot for $4.95 and have $350.00 on it. I asked them how they would provide me the loan. Alex replied "Through Western Union". Now, is that a red flag or what? Would a legitimate company give a loan through Western Union? I don't think so. What do you guys think?

I received a phone call from a Captain ** from police unknown and then refer to the federal claim, only given me 20 minutes to get the money and deposit it. She said that a warrant was going to be issue for my arrest if I did not get the money in an hour. To resort to these scare tactics are mean and cruel kind of tactics, they didn't even want to work with me in resolving this matter.

This company is a SCAM!!!!. Pre-paid card, bank info, what ever you may use, don't give them access to any of your account's. Read about them online. They robbed me for $100. When dealing with the internet, remember it is NOT smart or safe. Surveys Online? Nothing is safe! Don't do surveys. This is how this illegal company's set you up to a victim of their SCAM.!!!!!! SCAM SCAM SCAM !!!!!!

Was told I was approved for a loan, was asked a lot of personal questions. I told him if he had my application he already had the info. He knows my bank info, SS#, and other info. Was going to take the loan till I read all the posts. Thanks, but the strange thing was I had a phone call from someone stating that I owed them money which I knew I did not. Was going to be arrested, etc. until I told him I had called law enforcement so he hung up. This happened before Cash Advance USA called me.

I once applied for a payday loan and they wanted me to go get a Green Dot card and put money on it and I was reluctant so I never did and no money was ever deposited to my account. However, I have now been getting calls from Department of Financial Crimes (not real) and that CashAdvanceUSA has issued a warrant for my arrest. The problem is the callers are Indian with American names. The last guy said he was with the federal government (did not know what Department, justice or treasury). The phone number 512-375-3586 comes up as Texas. He would not tell me where in Texas he was located. This is a complete fraud. Be aware, it's offshore people. I now just have them blocked.

I got an email about Cash Advance USA. Well I filled out the application and everything and about an hour later, I got a phone call from a guy named Shawn, number is 850-270-1114, Florida. Well, they said I got accepted for a loan. They told me that I had to pay a deposit of $150 before I can get the money. Apparently after I got off the phone with Shawn he told me to call his supervisor, I did. I talk to him and he said he was going to call me back tomorrow cause I didn't have that $150 before I could get the loan money. Now it's about a hour and a half later, Shawn called me back asking me the same thing. I don't know if this is a scam. But I really do need a loan to get a new car. But not wanting to pay $150 and get ripped off. WHAT SHOULD I DO???? Somebody help ASAP.

Received an email from Carla **, Senior Affidavit Processor State Investigation Department in Utica, NY. Her phone number is in San Antonia, TX = 210-346-9692 Ext **. Her fax number is in Seattle, WA = 206-426-3556. The letter is official looking but there are so many grammatical and spelling errors, that if this person actually work for the government, they should be fired. I was told to get a Green Dot card and put $100 on the card and then take a PICTURE of the card and email it to her and to not do anything else until contact. A legitimate company would NOT use Green Dot cards or Western Union to get payments, they would accept a cashier's check or money order to send a payment in.

I have had the same company YMax Communication contacting me claiming to be Sheriff's from various Counties... depending on where they are calling from that week or month. They constantly call all hours of the day and night and are very aggressive. They will call my place of employment, leave detailed info on general voice mails and give the info to other employees that answer the phones. When I call them back they give the same spiel... claiming that they are in the process of filing a lawsuit against me on behalf of USA First Cash Advance and if I do not take care of this today and it is always $596.00, I will have to pay all these ridiculous court fees and make all these appearances costing anywhere from $5,000-$10,000 unless I decide to take care of it today! They can never give me an exact amount when I ask how much did I borrow because they are lying.

Today I missed a call. The person left a message stating His name was Ryan ** and he was with the State Attorney's office and I needed to contact him at 347 501 5849 to resolve a critical matter. Of course I dialed the number in a panic. Same voice from voicemail answered the phone stated his name was Daniel ** and his office called to try and resolve a debt with Cash Advance USA. Due to the fact he sounded foreign and his name is clearly American, that raised suspicions. 1st, the fact that I have never had a loan with CAU was a dead giveaway. So I played along due to the fact I wanted to get as much info about him as possible.

I've been getting phone calls from Cash Advance USA stating that I signed up for a loan and never make the payment back. I got threats in regards to my job that they would come and arrest me at work. I never made a loan with them and I have bank statements to prove it. They never informed me about the situation and they want me to pay them back with a Money Pak. They want me to pay them more than the loan was worth. I'm so confused at the moment. Any suggestions please.

I just got had, I knew in my heart I was being scammed. Too good to be true. I gave them money I didn't have to spare. How stupid I feel. I wish we could get these scammers. They need to be in jail. I wish I listened to my heart. Now what am I going to do? Never ever put money on a MoneyPak.

I received a phone call stating I was approved for a loan for $10,000. I told them I didn't need 10,000. Just do the loan for 1,500 which would be paid back over 12 mo. at $135/mo. They told me they needed to verify that I could pay the first installment of $135 to put it on a MoneyPak and all they had to do was verify the funds and the money would not be touched!!!! After that they put me on hold for almost an hour saying they were processing the loan and the money would be in my account within an hour. They came back and said it was a black mark on my credit and the funds were blocked because I owed a loan that was not paid in full so the credit bureau blocked the 1,500 and the 135.

I got a phone call thirty times and they lie a message saying I was approved for a $5000 loan, all I had to do was send them $150 on a Green dot card so I sent them $150 wait, 20min no call or message money was not there. I Called back, they told me to get another card with $100 and give him number in 15 min. I just waited till today and they said they need $250 to get my loan and I said I want my money back. They told me it would take 2 years to refund my money, they just needed my account number to put it into. I asked what one did they have on file and the guy said some off the wall bank I never heard of so they got me for $150. Their new number is 312-450-7577 and other one is 312-450-7401.

I received a phone call from these people stating that my husband had applied for a loan with them yesterday morning at 6am and they had all of his personal information SS#, DOB, address and even his place of employment and our banking information which I have no idea how they got all of this information. I told them that he did not apply for any loan with them and they said okay fine if he didn't want the loan that he still had to pay a cancellation fee of $89.00 and that if he didn't pay that fee that a sheriff deputy would come pick him up and arrest him today and that he would get fired from his job and his SS# would be blacklisted as well as being sued. I asked to speak to a supervisor at which time I was placed on hold. Then it was the same exact guy with the same accent that acted like someone else as a supervisor. Once I said you sound like the exact same person I was just talking to, the guy then tries to change his voice and accent. I can't believe these people, just so unbelievable they are. These people need to get caught and arrested. Shame on them for scamming hardworking people. The number I received the call from is from Grapevine,TX (817)400-7060. Everyone, PLEASE, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAMMERS. DO NOT, DO NOT PAY THEM ANY MONEY !!!!!!!!

I received a call this morning from an Alex about a loan from Cash Advance USA. Saying that I received a loan from them in the amount of 300 dollars. Which I never did and they are threatening a lawsuit against me for no reason. So after I got told that I called a friend and asked what I should do. I called back asking for information such as address and where I could file a dispute about it. All he had to say is he submitted the information and hung up on me.

Receiving harassing phone calls from a debt collector from PCS (Public Credit Service) claiming I have an unpaid load from Cash Advance USA. This person "Sam" is breaking just about every FDCPA regulation. He refuses to give or send proof of this business validation. He has called my place of employment multiple times using abusive language. He gets highly irritated whenever I question this supposed 911.00. He calls from a local county area code. I questioned where his company is located. He replied St. Lucia, Florida (the correct name is St. Lucie). He says he's from the legal dept. and that he has 5 attorneys ready to back this case. If that's the case, how are they purposely breaking federal laws? Very annoying and would LOVE to track down and STOP this scheming business.

I got call last Thursday from a guy named Ron ** claiming I owed money for the company Cash Advance USA. I never got a loan from that company. He told me that I need to pay $1,095 within 30 minutes or he will have to forward The account to the investigator and issue a warrant for my arrest. I got scared because I have a felony. So I told him it would take me some time. But I got it up. I called him back and he told me to go to a CVS, Rite Aid or Duane Reade and get a Green Dot MoneyPak. I had to get 3 of them because the most you can get is $500 on it. So I got 2 $500 and 1 $95. Had to call him back with the numbers off the MoneyPak. So I said okay, I paid off a bill from awhile ago.

I have been receiving calls since last Friday from Cash Advance USA legal team first saying I had an outstanding loan for 300 dollars but now they are saying I owe 400 dollars and also said if I do not pay I'm going behind the bars. This is what Alex ** and John ** have said to me in their Indian accent, which happens to be the same person. They have called my job and harassed me and my cell phone. I've never took out a loan with Cash Advance USA. I just want it to stop.

My friend John received a voice mail saying the legal department of Cash Advance Usa had three warrants out against him, and were going to send the sheriff to arrest him on the following morning. John gave him my number, and the fellow Officer Cooper said this could be settled for $400, or go to court, and then total around $3,000. I told him he couldn't get money, but merely a judgment. He said he knew the account number, and I said "Go for it! We'll dispute the charge if you take money out! He hasn't called again, but time will tell!

I started receiving calls about a month ago and it was not until recently that I was given the name of Cash USA for whom they are representing. "Alex" with a heavy India accent said I owed and demanded payment. I asked for him to send me written proof of this debt and he refused and said I was going to jail and I have committed fraud. I had asked him not to call me unless he can send proof of this so-called debt. Today, Alex called my work and spoke with my manager telling them that I am a bad person, committed fraud, that I am going to jail, and that they should fire me. This is harassment and slander.

I received an email from this company stating that they were going to come to my work and serve me with a legal subpoena and legal notice for a case being filed against me on an attempt to collect a debt. I never borrowed a penny from these people, let alone $400.00 or the $3896.35 that I would owe them "if I didn't settle and this went to court". Who are these people?! I tried to call them and they were so rude. They kept hanging up on me and would not provide me with ANY information. He said he was the "senior finance officer". Ya, right! The email they sent me wasn't grammatically correct. They didn't even use proper English. There was no way that was a legal document. I am really nervous because these people seem to know a lot of personal information. I am going to close my bank account and talk to a lawyer.

On 9/30/2013, I received a call explaining that I owed USA Cash Advance an amount of 783.00 dollars and that if I didn't pay right then and there that the sheriff office was going to arrest me and that I would owe an even bigger fee. When I explained I didn't take any loans out the man became irrational and hostile declaring that I did do it. I kept asking him what information he had and he couldn't provide me with any. So when I told him I was going to call the district attorney, he hung up. This is still going on. I just want it to stop.

If you're thinking about getting a loan online, I'd suggest you try with a local credit union or your bank. These online cash advance websites will not only ask for ridiculously high apr and interest rates, but they also come with harassment calls. They will call you every 5 min, leaving the same voice mails over and over again. I received 37 calls today from them and it's only 5:20 pm. When I picked up the phone and asked to be removed from their calling list, they told me there was going to be a $200 application removal fee. And when I laughed out loud due to how ridiculous that was, the person on the other side mimicked my laughing. Just shows how much BS this is. So, if you're like me, desperate for a loan, avoid it. Just simply deal with not having your money. And if you do end up accepting a loan from them, you'll mostly end up paying well over $1000 for a simple $500 loan. AVOID!!!

I just received a phone call from a gentleman saying that I owed a payday loan to Cash Advance USA! I have never had a loan with them and I told him that! He told me I would be arrested within the hour! I hung up, called my local sheriff's office. They told me if this person called back to tell him that I reported him to the police! The gentlemen called back saying that the police were on their way. I told him what the deputy sheriff told me to tell him and he told me to have a nice time sitting in jail and hung up on me!

Last night, I received additional phone calls, but this time, I was immediately called back by someone claiming to be chief verification Craig ** of the Oregon State Police Department and that they were sending a warrant over to Nebraska to arrest me for not taking care of this. When I asked him for a number to call him back at, he said 911. I told him I am not calling 911 and I asked again. This time, he gave me a 503 area code number which I called and it was the Oregon State Police Department and the lady said "No one works here by this name, nor do we have titles like this."

This morning I received a call on my cell phone and work number. I have not taken a cash advance from these people. Changed my cell phone number because of solicitors and now I am getting them again. I just received a call from someone with a foreign accent stating he was officer Samual ** and Cash Advance USA was filing criminal charges against me for not following through with my contract. I asked him, "When was this cash advance taken out and with what company? I have not done ANY business with Cash Advance USA (trying to get more information from him)." He stated that Cash Advance was given this information to move forward with a lawsuit against me but he couldn't tell me when this cash advance was taken out. "Sometime this year," he said and he was not allowed to divulge who the actual company was. He said I had taken out $300 but owed a settlement cost of $496.50 but if I could not pay this today then I could make arrangements to pay $261.67 today and the rest in 2 more increments equaling $785.00.

I got a call from a man named Michael **, claiming to be from the CA. State Attorney General's Office regarding an unpaid payday loan advance for $499. He said a lawsuit was filed against me for violation of banking laws, check fraud, and check by deception. He asked me to go to CVS or Walgreens and get some credit card to pay and call them from the parking lot. At that point, I smelled a rat and hung up on him. However, later that same day, someone whose name I don't know called me and said my bank account was closed and that I would not be able to open another bank account for 6 months. I just hung up on them. Upon calling my bank, I found that my account was active and it was fine. I went online to the Consumer Affairs website and found several complaints against Cash Advance USA similar to mine.

Does Creditkarma ring a bell? After being scammed of over $1000 from Cashadvanceusa.com and filing a police report, I received more threatening phone calls from these people today who already have access to my bank account, social security number and address. There are over 160 complaints about them online of how much people were scammed and the false calls by this company. I found out today that these big internet scammers are partners with Cashnetusa.com who gets all the personal information through Netcredit.com, (877) 392-2014, who advertises via Creditkarma.com.

I was contacted several times by someone who did not really speak a lot of English. I ignored the call but after the 5th time, I answered it and he told me his name was Robert and that he was calling from Cashadvanceusa.com. He said I had gotten a payday loan which I could not remember and that I owed $599 and that if I didn't pay, the police and the sheriff would come to my job and arrest me and take me to jail. Nonetheless, it scared me. I don't have any record and would lose my job if he did that. He asked me if I had any criminal record; I said no. He said that if I paid the $500, he would stop all legal actions against me since I had no criminal record. I got scared and hung up on him.
