I received an email that I had an outstanding pay day loan of $986.45 that I was supposed to have taken out with Advance Cash Services. The address it was sent from was Patricia Williams ([email protected]). It said they were going to take legal action if I did not try to settle this legal matter with them.

I wrote her back and told her I did not have a loan with them nor had I ever gotten any money deposited into my bank account from them. She also sent my bank information and account number to me in another email. I asked for a direct number to contact her and was given 1-347-332-0189.

Called this number and got a voice message. I left a message asking her to call me back and gave my direct number for work. I told her I would be contacting my attorney to get this matter settled and sue the pants off of whoever got this money in my name.

Copy of debt

I ahd the same thing happen to me. I told them if they are following the FDCPA then they need to send me a copy of the Original creditor and debt. Their excuse was they had other cash advance companies they deal with. I wrote back and said yes I deal with immigration too. Ain't heard from them since

Advance America Loans (scam)

Have been dealing with these people for almost up to two years and they keep threatening to take me to court and prosecute. I did have a loan with the company but it was on a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in 2013. Thinking in the beginning legit, I kept telling them they were on the case and that they need to stop contacting me, when they didn't stop I got my attorney involved. Just got off the phone with the corporate office of the company and they sat it is a scam. I went so far as to call the FBI and they said that they were a scam as well. I hope this helps others out there.

Fraud and scam

I got the intimidating, threatening letter from Nick Thomas stating "we are going to report you to the IRS for fraudulent activity, inform your employer. file a lawsuit by Tuesday (its Friday afternoon)" and the sort of language that is intended to strike terror, about money I supposedly received from them. Of course, I've never taken out a payday loan or any other sort of loan from their "Company" They leave this number 954 573 6381 to "settle this matter immediately" Of course they state they've tried to reach me repeatedly letters were returned even though the electronic funds transfers they sent me went through.

I seriously doubt that Cash Advance USA is stupid enough to do a loan to someone impersonating me and then take such dire action as Nicky boy threatens in the letter. Garnishment and all that isn't a process someone starts on Friday and has done by Tuesday the next week either. And using the legal system has checks and balances that involve serving someone papers etc.

I thought of a reply, going something like this "Dearest Nick, Oh please take the legal action you are threatening so I can have the pleasure of seeing you put in handcuffs for internet fraud, attempts of extortion or whatever lovely charges the legal system will place against your real identity. I had a good chuckle at your email which was promptly forwarded on to the Attorney General of my State. Have a pleasant day thinking of your awful future, just as I am.

My only loss in this is a reminder how the depravity of the human race when people will do anything for a buck including trying to torment honest citizens.

FRAUD, FRAUD, FRAUD

Same situation here! Contacted my attorney, who contacted the District Attorney, who was (you guessed it!) VERY familiar with these complaints. My attorney stated an investigation was begun, primarily, because they recite in their emails and phone calls HIGHLY SENSITIVE AND PERSONAL information, and, without authorization. They are VERY INTERESTED in finding out what sources they are utilizing in getting this info. They claim to be calling on behalf of various businesses, not just loan companies, claiming their victim has outstanding balances; they tell you NOT to contact the company directly; they threaten warrants, arrests, to notify your employer, to garnish your wages, etc. They demand the funds within anywhere between an hour from the time they called, but usually by end of business day, same day, and they offer NO OTHER WAY to make restitution EXCEPT TO WIRE THE FUNDS- WHICH SHOULD, IN OF ITSELF, SEND UP ALL KINDS OF RED FLAGS. Suggest you demand they cease contact, but keep a record, such as forwarding a copy of any email to your local District Attorney, and, letting their phone calls go the voicemail, so that you have a recording of their message. Be encouraged. Their time is coming to an end

I received this email from "Lisa Hayden" at Smith Loan Assistance in my email SPAM folder. I sent back the following email:

Who is this? I found this email in my spam folder, and have no idea who you are. Yes, this is a threat, and I will be turning this email over to the Attorney General, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and my attorney if you do not cease and desist contact with me immediately. Just because you stipulate that you are not, "threatening" me, does not mean you are not. I have no idea what this is even regarding.

I was contacted by keith dsouza claiming i have an unpaid loan from september of 2014. I never made such a loan and have repeatedly asked him to provide me with proof of the debt. The only thing he sent was a generic invoice. It had my address that i haven't lived at in over 5 years. I wasn't even living in the same state at the time of the alleged loan.

Received threatening email from matthew hudson at smithloanassistance.com. Stating i had a past due payday loan of 988.00 and if i didn't respond back with the payment or arrangements a law suit was being filed. I have never even applied for a payday loan, let alone getting any money from one. Scare tactic to scam money from me.

I questioned in a reply Email the validity of this alleged loan. I was told papers would be filed in court if I refused and I sent a message telling them I would be more than happy to see them in court.

I was contacted via Email in reference to an alleged loan $300 of which I had deposited into my bank account in may 2014 that was never repaid the amount due $988.56 when confronted they advised me they were filing in court. I gave them my blessing and said I would be there because this alleged loan never was a transaction.

Smith Loan DBA Cash Advanced America

Wtg! I got an email today quoting that same amount and stating I took out a loan with them December 2013. I was in medical care and had limited access to anything.

Her name was Barbara Williams. They must be related. Hahaha! She said to pay up or they would take me to court. I responded back saying "do it!" I'm so tired of this scam crap.
