Asking for cash

I was referred to Cash Advance America and was told I was approved for 3,000 loan. They would need to make two deposits to my bank account, the first to verify account. But they said they did not work with either of my two banks. I would need to open an account with another bank that could deposit to a new account. I have never heard of this happening, my two banks were major banks. I did not open an account with their suggested bank. I googled CAA and was not surprised to find this site. Thanks for keeping consumers informed of unscrupulous lenders.

I was contacted by a Roy Wilson, with cashadvance america at tel. no. 585-633-0796 on 8-4-20 and advised I had been approved for $10k and I need to let them deposit $800 to my acct. for ins. that I would send back to them which stirred a red flag for me. I have bad credit and they also wanted my bank online info which I don;t give out to anyone. I terminated the deal.

I unfortunately encountered financial hardship and applied for loans
I got an immediate acceptance from a company claiming they were from CASH ADVANCE AMERICA they sent me a loan offer for $8,000 with a low APR of 8.89% repayment over 36 months of monthly payments of $249 and it was red flags all over as I have poor credit return email was a gmail etc definitely a potential scam the terms seemed average aside from telephone number etc horrible how these lenders market clients personal information

Funds were successfully transferred into your bank account as Electronic Funds Transfer. But when the company tried to get that amount back as of the repayment, this transaction got declined constituting worthless Electronic check. So, as of now rather than chasing you for the money, they have simply decided to write this money as the loss and pressing the charges against your name and social.

This scammer has been e-mailing me now for at least 6 days straight 24/7 wanting money or I am going to be arrested and taken to jail within 30 minutes if I do not pay them the money they say I owe them. They say it is a loan I took out but I have never heard of this company so they will never get a red cent out of me. I have turned them over to the Federal Trade Commission as well mas the Better Business Bureau so hopefully no one else will have this happen to you. As a senior citizen, sometimes we do not know what is true or not and do not know what to do so we "pay" and it takes forever to get out from under a scam. I know this for a fact as it happened to me June 2019 and I am still fighting it.

I applied for a loan online & thought it was a company I’ve used before. But they told me I needed to buy a $200 gift card to prove I could afford to repay the loan, since I refused to go through my bank. I got to Wal-Mart and was going to buy the gift card and they asked me if someone was waiting on my phone. I nodded yes, the cashier told me to hang up, so I did. After I hung up, the cashier told me to deal with the company face to face. I went to Academy & Galley to my loan place. They told me it was a scam, & called them at 312 809 7780, spoke to"Selena" as I had, then told them to stop calling me. They’d called me 3 times after I hung up, & I insisted that I would get my loan, in person or no loan at all!

On November 20, 2019, I was scammed by a person posing as a Loan Manager from Cash Advance America.  The fraud department from my bank notified me that evening and immediately assisted me with securing and freezing my checking account,  I also filed a police report with my local police department the following morning.  It began with an email from Jerry Adams (the posing Loan Manager) notifying me I had been approved for $10K that morning.  He told me if I needed to use the funds right away they would have to make smaller deposits. He instructed me to use those deposits to buy gift cards and to give him the info on the gift cards for him to cash and then he could deposit the $10K in cash directly into my account to avoid the normal hold the bank makes on deposited checks.  He even drafted me a payment plan; Tenure: 60 months, Payments $183.33/month, Payment Start Date: 12/13/19.  He instructed me to buy $500 gift cards from WalMart, Safeway and Long’s.  Jerry deposited three fraudulent checks into my checking account ($2,124.32; $1,974.22; $955.11 plus an additional $5 processing fees per deposit). Desperate for the money, I followed all his instructions after he deposited their money into my account. It was later that evening that I spoke with the Fraud Department from my bank. All the checks they deposited in my account that day were fraudulent checks that left me with at negative $5,778.40 balance in my checking account. Three of my direct deposits were absorbed in the negative before we were able to stop the Direct Deposits.

Last week I received a call from a man name Frank *** who said he was from Cash Advance America and that I was approved for a loan for $5000. I never applied for a loan for that big amount. I did, however, was online looking for a payday advance for $500 to help with my moving expenses but never for $5000. Frank went on to say that their company can help with building my credit score which caught my attention because I am under Chapter 13 at the moment. Frank stated that the company would have to deposit $800 into my account to make sure my account was legit. Once the funds were available Frank wanted me to withdraw the money and go to an Apple store the Apple store was affiliated with their company. He wanted me to purchase I guess $800 worth of Apple play cards and that would ensure to help raise my credit score. Frank did however tell me that once the money was withdrawn from my account I could change my account information so that he could no longer have access to my account, but that didn’t erase the fact that Frank *** still had access to my bank account number. I contacted my bank and reported my card lost and I also changed all my account information immediately. The next morning Frank contacted me asking if I had changed my account information and I said yes. Exactly one week later Frank *** contacted me once again. This time he sent a fake contract to my email trying to convince me that it wasn’t a scam. Once I informed him that I had sent his information to the police the calls stopped coming. Please be aware of anyone calling or texting or even emailing you from Cash Advance America. I didn’t loose any money because I acted quickly.

I talked to a middle eastern man named "Michael" he verified my info and then told me they would send me an initial deposit but my credit was too low to get the full amount. I would need to return this amount and it would help my credit score. I said no thanks.. that made no sense to me. he proceeded to talk further and tell me to go to Walgreens or Walmart and we could do the verification. I said "this doesn’t sound legit and I am not going anywhere". I hung up, he called back once and I haven’t heard from them again, but contacted my bank.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I’d been applying for loans for a few weeks when I received a text message from Sr. Loan Officer Mark Wilson and Daniel Gray from Cash Advance. I had been pre-approved for a $5000 loan and wanted me to contact him at 305-831-1690 or his email [email protected]

So I emailed him and he contacted me back and then verified my information to pull up my account and then told me my terms and sent the loan approval letter then called me to further discuss the loan. Then said with my low credit score that the underwriters needed me to show good faith before the loan could be finalized. He then proceeded to tell me that he would deposit funds in the amounts of $3,400 total in my account and once the bank released it that I needed to return it either by western union which would cost fees for me or just buy gift cards and once they received and verified everything then he would be able to finalize the loan and deposit it. I was hesitant at first but he reassured me and really got me to believe what he was telling me and that they was a legitimate company registered with BBB. So once I seen my bank granted the funds in my account i didn’t think anything was wrong then so I did what he said and got gift cards. He then told me once he verified everything he would call me to let me know that the loan would be deposited. Well a few hours later he called to apologize that he could not process the loan in my account till Monday since it was the weekend. So I believed what he said. And then said he was actually able to get my loan increased to $8400 instead for the inconvenience and wanted to show he really was wanting to help me with my finances and sent me a new loan agreement with the new amount and terms. Which I was even more thrilled about to help what I was going to do with the money. So finally Monday comes then he calls me to say the loan is pending deposit because the US government had issued a state tax to be paid of $1600 before the loan could be released.That was when I knew something was wrong so I then checked my account and looked at the deposits and seen it was a checks I looked at the images and seen that they was not from them and that they was from my 401K savings company and the account number and routing numbers were from the 401K company. I knew right then that I had just got taken by a scam. So now I am so far in the hole with my bank over $3400 and more now that my other bills were set up to my account for auto pay. I had been a customer with my bank over 7 years and never even had anything returned or bounce or negative in my account till now and I have no idea or clue as to what I can do. I will not be able to come up with all that money. I am so upset and will probably lose everything I have. I am a single mother trying to raise my kids and work very hard for what I do have to only lose it now to someone like this. How do they get away with it and continue to do it. I don’t understand how they can sleep at night.

My girlfriend was looking around for loans and ended up getting screwed over by these "Cash Advance America" [censored]. She gave them her bank account info and ss number not knowing how payday loans really work and they told her she would get the money deposited into her acc within the hour. Seemed sketchy so i jumped on google only to find out that its a huge scam and hitting tons of other people too. I immediately called her bank to put everything on lockdown and report fraud, called the social security people, the credit people, like 8 different calls no joke just to make sure that shes all good. No money has been pulled out or put in her bank and the dude has been blowing up her phone in a desperate attempt to pull off his little cash scam.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

a loan was applied for from loan manager Scott Travis (Mgr) with James Anderson (loan officer)- of Cash Advance America. A loan was supposedly declined but then changed to a "Gov Grant" and thru a mistake in paper work, the $7,500 loan was changed to a $75,000 grant and finally approved by Scott Travis mgr.. Fees were immediately required to process the grant and over $9,645.00 was paid in fees of various nature claiming the fees were required for processing. One last fee was always the last to be paid and distribution was next. Being there was never a deposit made to my account, and fees seemed to continue, I requested cancellation and a return of the amount paid for fees collected. This resulted in rejected telephone calls by the above named individuals – James Anderson, and Scott Travis (aka Snyder) Lawanda P Thompson, collecting agent to whom the fees were sent, among others, Scott Travis demanded money to continue process the “Gov Grant” and demanding first a $2500 fee and at last count, a $650 “ Transfer Fee” This individual is extremely dishonest and I would advise everyone to keep away from him. He is a scammer and perpetrates fraudulent activities trying to collect your money for his personal use. (my opinion) He is beligerant, arrogant, constantly interrupts the conversation, rude with no phone manners what so ever.

I have been looking into applying for loans recently and received a call from a man claiming to be from Cash Advance America. They claimed to have emailed me and I told them I never received any emails or communications from them. He was very persistent and stated he was going to deposit the money into my account. When I stated I was wary of this, he kept pushing.

I was seeking a loan online and found cash advance America. I spoke with a man named John walker. He contacts through text or phone. Firstly once he took all the information. He made a test run deposit of $400 onto the card then I had to go to a Walgreens and put the money onto a google play card then give him the code. So he can process and get the money back that they put on. Next he tells me I need to take off the balance in the account from my check and do the same process because my check was on hold. He told me due to the hold the money wasn’t showing up on the account. I took off the money from my check and repeated the same process with the google play card then calling him. He told me he would call me in ten minutes and I never heard from him.

I signed up to apply for an online loan because I needed money after a breakup. These guys called and texted over and over saying their names are Alex or Jim and they have THICK Indian accents. The background of the call sounds like their are about 20 or more people in a room all trying to do the same thing. They try and trick you into giving them your bank log in information so they can reverse the biggest purchase you’ve made and will say that they put that money in your account to test and see if your routing will actually work. Now you have to send it back to them in order to get your full loan. Don’t be surprised when a "supervisor" or "manager" comes on and threatens to sue you. It’s a joke because if you stand up for yourself they back off ccompletely.

These people prey on people in need of extra monetary help. They texted me so long that they literally texted me from 10 different numbers with the same message. Don’t fall for this.

Responded to a text message for a payday loan. Talked to someone who asked for online username and password. Scammers said how much do you want to borrow. Loans start as low as 1,500 up to 10,000. I want to borrow 5,000. Okay no problem, Sir. First, we are going to deposit $430.80 into your account. Now, we will discuss the payment insurance protection plan to you. We sent the information in a pdf format to your gmail account. Once, you confirm the money has been deposited into your account, we have instructions for you to follow. But, first we need you to establish a code word so we know it’s you. Whatever you do, do not.tell anyone you are doing this. Now, the money that was deposited; take your debit card, go to a Walmart or Rite-aid and call me back at 7:00 am. You are to use your debit card and purchase 8 google play for $50 each and 1 card for $25. Now, scratch off the foil on the back of the cards. Take pictures of all of them and send the info to my phone. Call me as soon as you completes this. All of the pictures are wonderful. Now, we will deposit more money into your account and then we can discuss the insurance portion of this. Okay, now you will repay us 10% for the 5,000 loan. We will call you back. Two hours passed and no one returned my call. Texted the gentleman; what’s taking so long. We are processing transactions. After another 30 minutes; there was no return call. The next day checked my account and it was overdrawn. Told the bank the whole situation and one bank teller stated; you were scammed. I am sorry for your loss and there is nothing we can do for you. I have been on the phone with the bank almost every day. I have reported it to the Chicago Police Department.

Sometime in 2016 and early 2017 I inquire on a payday online. Some Asian Indian guy called me and saying I was approved for a $2000 loan but wanted money upfront because my credit was poor. I never sent money to him and no monies were ever deposited into my bank account. So I keep getting these phone call and emails like a year after and at first says his name is Gary Williams after like 5 messages on my voicemail. Then he uses a name like Tim Smith thinking that will make me call him back and pay for a loan i never received. Mind you, this [censored] has a strong accent from the Middle east and says his name is Gary Williams and Tim Smith. I have emailed him numerous of times to show me proof of the monies being wired to my bank account or stop harassing me. So what does he do? He keeps calling and sending emails that the local police and the D.A. has been informed of my so-called loan default. I just set my cell phone to reject his calls.

It stated to call and they could help me. I called the number listed above man answered with heavy India accent. I told him I didn’t apply and to remove my number and email I was then hung up on and when I called right back I got a recording. I waited 30-40 minutes and called back and same guy answered and when I told him the same thing, he ignored responding to my statement to take me off his list. He then ask where I did my banking instead. I told him that he would not get any info from me and who would be stupid enough to do so-hung up again.

A man named Kevin contacted me by e-mail then by phone. He promised that I would be granted a loan for $4000.00 if I followed a few instructions. First off he said I needed to open a bank account with the US Bank in my town, It was to be a checking account and a savings account, which had to have a activated debit card and access to online banking. After I did this I was instructed to go to Walmart and purchase two I-Tune gifts cards totaling $150.00, then to call him back after I had the card in hand. He then instructed me to scratch off the silver bar off of each of the card and to read him the numbers and letters that were revealed. I questioned him several times about this did not seem right and that it sounded like a scam, but he guaranteed me that it was legitimate. After this information was given, he promised me that the cost of the cards plus the loan money would be deposited to the US Bank account at midnight on Wednesday 9/27.

Total money lost $300

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

I had submitted information to a website for a cash advance. A Mr. Justin Green spoke with me claiming that he can help with a personal installment loan of $8,000. In desperation, I accepted this offer and he sent me an e-mail of the contract. He broke down percentages and monthly costs in the contract but insisted he speak over the phone with me about the offer.

Yesterday 4/12/17 he told me over the phone that the entire conversation is going to be recorded and we will sustain the conversation throughout the application process. He took my info and banking routing and account number.

At the beginning of the call he claimed that there will be NO out of pocket fees and explained his terms and conditions. Upon acknowledgement he told me that my application can not go through due to a low credit score but if I have $300 with me or in an account to verify that I have funds he can make the exception. I didn’t have that money. I went to my cousin and borrowed it telling him I just need to prove that I have this money and I will get the loan.

I told Justin I had the money now approx. 4pm. ONCE VERIFIED, he asked me to go to Wal-Mart and purchase $300 in iTunes gift cards and to scratch off the backside of these cards and to send a picture to another email address of his to show verification. Stupidly; I complied and did as asked. Once the picture was sent he said to head to the bank and wait until he gives me the go ahead to verify that I have the money.

At the bank, he proclaimed that they tried to transfer the funds 6 times and all failed. It was then they realized that my county or living area was blacklisted by their company due to people not paying their loans. However; there was another method.

They insisted that I accumulate another $389 dollars to pay the transfer funds via Money Gram. I explained that I do not have those funds and I only have so much to my name. Justin laughed saying that was not going to help. I asked to speak to his superior. I do not recall his name but after speaking with him he said that they will figure something out and speak to me today 4/13/17.

After a round of phone tag I spoke with Justin again today. He said that in confidentiality between his company and me they were going to assist me with the $389 by depositing it into my bank account at midnight and by 7am tomorrow 4/14/17 I need to pull the funds out of the account and go to Moneygram and begin the process to get the $8000. It would be broken down in 4 transactions and would give me the reference numbers once I got to Moneygram. All I need to do is text him my username and password to my online banking and he would put the funds into the account as a hidden transaction. If I took the money and run we would both be in big trouble. I told him that I knew he was a scam and that I was not going to do that and he proceeded to tell me *** *** and *** *** and do not call him back so I hung up. He called back immediately saying why did I hang up and I told him because he didn’t want me calling him anymore so our business is done. That I was going to lawyer up and press charges for having me spend $300 on iTunes gift cards.

Now the only thing I can think of him "verifying" is that he probably registered all six cards to iTunes.com otherwise there wouldn’t be any way he could verify such. I haven’t checked the cards and Wal-Mart nor Apple will refund me for these cards.

I want this person to deal with the consequences.. Give me the $8000 plus the $300 spent to verify everything.

CASE FILE #: ACS-51423

DUE AMOUNT – $714.32

File Transferred-February 2017

Dear Debtor,

As we put your Social Security Number into our National Checking

Database System, we found that you have been never charged for a fraud

activity & that’s the reason Court House has decided to give you a

chance to take care of this issue outside the Court without having a

report on your Credit History and Social Security Number.

We regret that if we do not receive your response within the next 12

hours, we shall have no alternative but to take action through your

local County Courthouse to recover the amount due together with court

costs and legal fees which cost approximately 3025.86.

AS YOU ARE A DEFAULTER ON THIS CREDIT UNITED LEGAL INVESTIGATION BUREAU

HAS STATED 3 SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS AGAINST YOU AND THEY ARE:

(1) VIOLATION OF FEDERAL BANKING REGULATION

(2) COLLATERAL CHECK FRAUD

(3) THEFT BY DECEPTION

If Court action is taken and Judgment / Decree obtained against you to

recover the sum due, we may need to ask the court to make one of the

following orders should the debt remain unpaid:-

·Warrant of Execution (Exceptional Attachment Order). Seizure and sale

of movable non-essential assets / property by a County Court Bailiff or

Sheriff Officer

·Attachment of Earnings base (Earnings Arrestment). Deduction from your

wages by your employer or arrestment of part of your salary to satisfy

the debt

The Factual Basis for the complaints is as follows:-

I received a phone call from a man who said his name was Mark Thomas. He indicated that I had applied for a loan and that I had been pre-approved for $2000-$10000. I had applied for many payday or personal loans online so I could not say if I had actually applied online or not for this company. Mark had all of my personal information such as my name, address, phone number, last 4 of SSN, employer, bank info (account and routing number). He wanted to know my online password to my bank. I advised that I did not feel comfortable with this. I asked if he could send me a loan agreement in writing stating what the terms were. I received an email this morning with a loan agreement attached. The loan agreement looked like it was just typed on a word document, but it did look like some of the other loan agreements that I had seen. I called Mark up and asked him if he could provide me the website information so that I could see what it looked like and if I had actually applied. He told me no problem and directed me to the website of advanceamerica.net. I went to the website but did not find that they offered loans in my state (NC). I also did not find the NY address that they gave me. I had googled the address and it did not come up as a business earlier this morning. I called the number on the website and spoke with someone named Jasmine. I explained the situation to her and she stated that I was not in their system by my name, or the last 4 of my SSN and that this was a scam. I called Mark back and advised what I had found. He asked for the name and phone number of who I called. I also informed him that on the website he provided to me, it states that they do not offer loans in my state (NC). He said that if I wasn’t comfortable that he would void the loan. I asked him to contact me after he spoke with Jasmine and if I could confirm that I was in their system, I would proceed. The line went dead. Mark had hung up.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

A gentleman contacted me regarding a loan from Cash Advance America. He indicated that I was pre-approved for a loan up to $5,000.00. He had my contact information, banking information, address, employer, etc. I was really suspicious. I asked him how did he obtain my information. He stated that he received it because I applied for a loan. I did apply for an online loan, but I didn’t apply with his so called company. I wanted to talk with him to explore more about what he wanted to say. He then stated that he needed my personal login and password to my online account and that they were going to put some money in my account to verify my account number then they were going to transfer it back to the company and that the next day I would receive $5,000 in my bank account and I would have to pay $230 a month for 24 months. I asked him where were the loan documents for me to sign then, he stated I was pre-approved. This didn’t sound right and I knew then, it was a scam. This wasn’t the first time that I have heard of this type of approach. A month ago a person said they were from the same company, but sent me an email.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

This man called my phone telling me I was approved for a loan for $5,000. ( I had just applied online for loans last weekend) He said i was approved because of my low credit score they will add 11 points to my credit score each month. He had ALL my information already, social, bank account information, checking account number, etc. He verified to me all of my info and asked if it was correct. He then asked me to verify my identity by purchasing a itunes card because of scams involving pre-paid cards this card has no cash value and could not be redeemed by him. I did that (without thinking) He then told me since he reduced the deposit amount for the loan from 200 to 50 that he needed 50 more totalling 100 then $5000 will be sent to my account in 7 minutes. I hung up on him and he tried calling back i did not answer. He gave me his business license # 99-207-947LA. I believed he was an actual lender because he had all of my information and seemed legit. I was wrong.

I have been applying for personal loans to consolidate debt and I got a phone call yesterday afternoon stating that I was approved for the loan I needed. He knew all of my info and spoke with a middle eastern accent by the name of "John". This man said that he would deposit so much into my account and I would have to pay it back to get my credit score up to where it needed to be and that I would need to go to the closest place with a money gram with my debit card and ID to pay this said money back and he would walk me through the process. I did not do anything he told me to do because I found out it was a scam. When he called me this afternoon I did not answer any calls. In fact he started to text me with threats and called multiple times with different states area codes numbers. This person went to a certain extent that he called the sheriff’s office posing as me stating that there was a domestic violence dispute at my home. I didn’t find out the police really did come to my house until I got home from work. I called the sheriff’s department and spoke with the dispatcher who spoke with this man who is doing all of this. So this person has scammed multiple people and there is stuff all over the Internet about this same story I just told. Please stop this man!!!

I applied for a loan through LENDING TREE.COM yesterday 9/18/16 within minutes i started getting spam in my email from "loan companies". So I decided against it. Today at 3:36pm cst i recieved a call from Micheal Anderson representing Cash Advance America. He told me i was approved for a $10,000 loan. Then proceeded to read over ALL my personal information. My Bank Account, Social Security Number, Address, Phone Numbers, etc. Then told me how it works is they deposit a lesser amount in my account, i immediately withdrawl it and send it via check back to them. At which time they will then deposit the $10,000. I said "hmm sounds fishy" He then proceeded to tell me all i had to do was fill out a form that he was currently emailing me. So i checked my email. It went straight to my spam folder but i got it. It had questions on it regarding my bank account, my social security number, my name, address, then lastly My ONLINE banking information. Which i was quick to ask about. He told me it so that they can verify i recieved the funds themselves. I said i would have to think on it and call back if i was interested. We said good bye and hung up.

This place calls me from a Washington DC number claiming to be Cash Advance America, claiming they want to give me a loan for 3000-10000 wired to your bank account and you are 100% approved. They will tell you to go get a itunes card and put 201.00 dollars on it for the Federal Government to identify you are and that you have money. I told them I am not stupid and will not send them money and that I am reporting them as scammers. They say they are partners with BBB and I tell them I will call and verify that, I did and seen where others have reported them. The supposedly manager "Mike Johnson" got mad because I told him they were scammers and I was reporting them and told me he dont have a loan for me anymore and hung up on me. I was called back immediately by another employee trying to talk me into getting a itunes card and assured me they worked for the government and was partners with the ScamPulse.com. I told him again I was no fool and would be reporting him. He tells me I have bad credit and nobody else would offer me a loan. This is how they scam people in with low credit, people think they can not get a loan somewhere else, so they fall for it. I googled their number and it doesn’t exsist, or I couldn’t find it. Forgot to mention, I was put through to 3 different people, whom all didn’t speak english well.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

Last wk. I received 4 calls from the above during the day. The man explained my loan for $5000.00 had been approved. I told him i had not applied for any loans recently. We discussed the loan amounts and monthly payments, as i was curious where this was going. He proceeded to verify my address and banking info. I inquired about how and when monthly payments were paid. He then told me I would have to purchase a ‘vanilla’ pre-pd. master or visa card. Put the monthly payment of 136.00 on it and call him with the card info. The loan (2000.00) would be wired to my account within 30 minutes. Having had a few loans over the course of 30 yrs., I never came across this type of payment plan before. He reassured me this is how his company does business. I told him I would have to call him back the following day with my decision. Needless to say, I did not call him back. That pre-paid card kept playing through my head. I’m thankful he didn’t get a hot penny from me; but was still annoyed that this company is stealing from Americans right and left. (Gave the name Eric Johnson, which would have been more believable had he not had a Pakistani accent!!) Hopefully, this complaint will save others from a scam. Thank you.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

"Jason" called saying he was representing Cash Advance America, and was calling to tell me that I had been approved for a $5000 loan to be repaid over a period of 36 months. He stated that this "loan" was the result of my online loan request (which I don’t remember doing). He had ALL my personal information including my full name, address, home phone number, date of birth, email address, source of income and amounts, SS#, my bank account # and bank routing #.

He indicated that the funds would be deposited in my checking account before our call was ended. However, he then determined that they needed to "verify" MY identity so they didn’t give the money to some undeserving person instead of me who really needs the loan to pay off small credit cards and improve my credit score. He told me to go to the local Dollar General store and put $200 (the amount of the first payment) on a "card" and then call him from the Dollar General store so that they could verify that I am "who I say I am." At that point I told him I felt uncomfortable doing that since he/they could then steal that $200 from me very quickly and I would be out what little bit of money I had saved. I told him I would call him when I got to Dollar General, then I ended the call. Obviously, my SCAM alerts in my brain were working overtime, so I’m submitting this report. Here are the specifics he gave me:

Address: Cash Advance America, 2180 Westwood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90025.

Phone: 310-362-4879 is his "hotline"

Website: www.cashadvance.com

Business License Number: CA99-162248

I believe this to be a SCAM. Thank you!

I can only hope they don’t take money out of my checking account somehow.

Cash advance america. Claims to have approved me for a loan in the amount of $5000.00 but i need wite them first payment of loan agreement person to person via money gram and they will then send my loan with the 181.00 advanve payment back to me within 50 minutes. They claim they work with bbb as well. Just sounds fishy to me. When you call a man with an Indian accent answers but doesnt say the name of the business then they transfer you to a guy who was named paul smith but also with a heavy indian accent and sounding very much like the person that answered already. They claim that your credit is low but they are going to give me the loan anyways as long as i oay the first payment of the agreed installments yet they will give the payment right back on top of the loan amount.
