Even worse, they threaten the victims with blackmailing if they don't receive the amount.

I am myself a Victim of Privilege Wealth Scam (payday loan investment scam) which Brett Jolly is behind. I'm posting here because Jolly is now in Asia and he is targeting Asian and expat investors as his next victims.

The company's directors are Richard Colwell, in whose name the notice was published; Mark Munnelly, and Martin Sampson, all of whom are facing potential substantial liabilities as a result of the estimated more than $40 million investment fraud that was perpetrated by the Privilege Wealth Group, which comprised companies and individuals in several countries, most notably England, Gibraltar, Luxembourg, Panama, and Spain.

Reported by OffshoreAlert, the ultimate controlling person in the group was British serial fraudster and disqualified U.K. company director Brett Jolly, a.k.a. James Jolly, while other senior participants included Munnelly, Sampson, British salesman Andrew Sweeney, and South African attorney Peter Stokes.

The payday loan scam model is: they claim to lend money to the poor people in US at an interest rate between 200-390% per year and in this way the group assures its investors a high profit. And there is even an insurance to insure all loan capital against loss, wrongful acts and default. Based on the description of the insurance provided by Privilege Wealth, the insurance can guarantee the capital of the investors in case of Crime (internal and external), Cyber Attract and Capital shortfall.

This scam is reported by David Marchant of the blog Offhshorealert- https://www.offshorealert.com/ and by Tony Hetherington of Mail on Sunday- http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/experts/article-4763678/Banned-11-years-1m-bogus-investment-cheat.html

Here are Brett Jolly's famous scam stories:

- 16 years ago, Brett Jolly's Holland Moorehouse in South Africa made more than 8000 people lose their investment for holiday accommodation and he left SA in a sudden without anyone knowing.

https://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/timeshare-dream-turns-into-a-nightmare-79184

- Here are some other investment scams beside pay day loan of Privilege Wealth and Creditech:

Timber in Ghana to get minerals in Ireland / Non-existing property in Brazil / Carbon credits......

- Professional stuff and website, beautiful stories at beginning.
- Pretending London-based offices / stuff turned out to be in Spain.
- Partnership in Gibraltar never used banks of Gibraltar, instead, all transactions were made to UK accounts.
- Never received your title of what you have invested or in the case of Privilege Wealth, no new contract regarding the resolution.
- No one answered the phones / emails/ etc and all the directors disappeared after you put money in.
- Companies went to liquidation.
- Brett Jolly argued that he was a victim himself ( he really enjoys arguing and being a victim himself ).

When you search for the “biggest diamond in the world” on Youtube, you can see Brett Jolly promoting this “amazing diamond” which was found out totally FAKE.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/worlds-biggest-diamond-revealed-as-fake-396153.html

These are the companies involved with these scammers which continue to propose "payday loan investment" to potential investors like Privilege Wealth did:

GENERAL WEALTH PORTFOLIO 1 LLC
GENERAL WEALTH PORTFOLIO 3 LLC
GENERAL WEALTH PORTFOLIO 4 LLC
GENERAL WEALTH INC (INACTIVE)
CREDITECH USA, INC (INACTIVE)
CREDITECH USA, LLC
C-TECH FINANCIAL CORP
FINTECH SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT GROUP INC
USC LOANS, LLC

Those companies are registered in Florida. Others such as Creditech / Investabl / International Portfolio Service / Prestan Invest are registered in UK.

Privilege Wealth is going to be put to liquidation as 77 of Brett Jolly's former companies. They are worse than a casino- with them, you will have absolutely no chance to win.

Asian investors, please be cautious of these people and of payday loan investment scam. You want to make profits, they want your capitals.

statewide recovery group new york...If those words are typed into Google look about the 4th down where it says "Dressler & ..." and "Capital Management Holdings". You'll find those who ran a reign of terror on a lot of payday loan people. With them calling relatives, friends and tying up my own phone, I knew they were fake and once I make a payment to quiet them down, I have about to weeks to stop them. Since law enforcement, FTC, FBI or anyone else takes this sort of thing seriously, I had no choice. Just see how it links upward from the name on the credit card receipt. Found the 3 LLC hideaway structure, with true LLCs, there a human's name. Home in on everything about him and the LLC structure designed mostly for litigation insulation. Even then, there a camera watching the front door that no one uses, probably to avoid process service. After multiple warnings...drop the bomb (the bomb being information) at about 3am news years day, before they start calling. Now they call no one, until they regroup. That's why the need jail, now lawsuits. Anyway I got this tore to the bone and exposed (as much as I can). Statewide Recovery Group New York

A courier service called to tell me they were coming to serve court documents to me and said the documents were filed by Midland Meditation Firm and I could call Andrew Mason at 855-265-4537 to get details. Mason said I had a delinquent account from a Payday Loan from 3 years ago. I asked for the bank and email address that it was approved for and they were both wrong. I had already disputed this fraudulent claim 3 years ago and told them that they had purchased a fraudulent debt. He insisted that he was a lawyer and they had been retained. He wouldn't give me details regarding the claim and asked if I still lived at the same address. He tried to intimidate me into giving my current address but I kept asking details of the debt that he couldn't give me. I am filing complaints with my State Atty General, BBB, and FTC.

Received 2 emails from a guy named Brian Jackson at speedycash.com telling me I qualify for a loan of 2500-10000. I then received a text from 818-666-7022 say" congratulations your aplication has been approved and to call back asap'. I had applied online for a payday loan and thought that this may have been the response. So I texted back. Turns out the company could only deal with scotia bank. So I applied for an online account. The company told me they would deposit 2500 and explain the terms of 12 equal monthly payments. It sounded legit. The company indicated that they needed to authenticate the account and then could deposit the loan. So I forwarded a void cheque. Turns out they asked for my client ID and login information. That raised some concerns for me. So I ask how they we going to deposit the loan. The company then proceeded to ask for my client info again and said he was going to send a mobile deposit of 200. I was asked to return the 200 to the company once the deposit was made to authenticate the account and then they indicated I would received the 2500 loan deposit. The hair on my neck stood straight. I Google mobile deposit and it indicated that the deposit was done through phone or android of a cheque which didn't make any sense to me. I asked why they needed access to deposit a cheque rather than complete the deposit via EFT. The continue to ask again for my login and that it was only to authenticate my account and that I would then receive the 2500 loan after I send the 200 back to them. I was all very hoakie. So I'm posting this information for all to see in hopes of helping other peopke avoid this scam. Please be careful. The email they sent to me seemed ok. So I didn't think it was a scam at first. I am guessing the cheque they deposit would bounce and the company would have received 200 at my expense.

I received a phone call from someone stating that this was a last attempt to fax some legal documents. I called them back and they stated that I owed money for a payday loan from 2010, which I NEVER had. Old address, old email, new phone number. Tom Hardigan with HIGHLAND HOLDING LTD is the person that I spoke with and stated that I needed to pay 400 or fees could escalate up to 5,000 dollars. They threatened leagaI action, I was so scared!! They almost got me, I researched the company and found a lot of information about this being a SCAM. They then started calling relatives that I know I have NEVER used as references on anything leaving very threatening messages. Once we called them back telling them that we were aware of this being a scam, he got very argumentative and hung up the phone. We tried calling back and he wouldn't answer. We called the main line and told them to remove the phone numbers from the databas and NEVER call them again!

I asked for the orginial lenders phone number because they were attornies for Cardinal law group or something. I called that number and it went to a Ken Johnson or something like that voicemail.That number was 18552598722. Nothing about a payday loan company.

Today my husband received a phone call (855-259-3725) from a woman who claimed he defaulted on a 14-day payday loan from over 6 years ago. She was able to tell him the last 4 of his social, previous employers, previous addresses, work history and the name of a bank he had previously been a member of. Once he told her that he had never once in his life taken out a payday loan, let alone one online, she became very pushy and began to threaten him with legal action. She told him that he would be served with papers and would have to appear in court. Once he told me about his phone call mishap, I assured him it was a scam due to having worked in a payday loan business myself for over a year. Payday loans normally range anywhere from $50-$350. Typically when taking out this particular type of loan, the borrower can either leave a check or bank information with the debtor as payment assurance, but unfortunately more often that not, payment falls through and checks return back to the company that loaned out the money and then they don't receive their payment. Of course, there are ways to determine if the loaner is trustworthy or not, but the payday loan company knowingly takes a chance on whether or not they will receive this payment. With that being said, a returned check to a payday loan company cannot be categorized as a "hot check" because when the money was loaned out, the said company was acknowledging the customer had insufficient funds in the first place until the customer's next payday, hence the term "Pay-Day" Loans. Once debt is owed at this point, the delinquent balance with a pay day loan company will ALMOST NEVER be extensive enough that hiring a lawyer, or "pursuing legal action" will be worth the money. Most companies will just sale this debt to collections at this point, and collection agencies can be very annoying, but efficient when a payday loan company wants their money. One indicator that these phone calls are a scam is that if you truly are being pursued, you will receive no warning. This is to scare you into paying money that you don't owe in the first place. It also helps if you know for sure that you never signed for the debt.

After returning the call I was informed that they were looking to deliver legal documents to me for breach of contract and check fraud to a shoreline Online payday loan company back November of 2011. They obtained my bank information and social security number. They caller claimed they could not give me a direct date of when this occurred she said that they had the dates of November 2011 thru June 2012. After telling them that I did not apply for any payday loans with said company they insisted they had tangible proof of it.

On the above noted date I received a call from my mother indicating that a company called CRS Mediation contacted her to try to get in touch with me about fradulent checks from a payday loan in 2012. When I called the company back they asked me to confirm the last four digits of my social security number, which I did not. They told me that they were a mediation company for a lender called Twin Bluffs and that legal action in Yellowstone county was forthcoming unless I paid them a sum of $1,775.00 to clear the matter. They indicated that court documents would be processed unless I did this. I have had previous calls like this that were scams so I asked him to give me the weekend to research his claim and to call me on Monday. I researched his company "CRS Mediation" online and nothing regarding the company was present. I put the word scam and several current stories indicate the same thing has happened to others. When he called back on Monday, June 6, I asked specific questions like a toll free phone number, address and webpage which he said he could not provide. I asked to have the validation statment emailed to me for verification. He said it was sent to me at my address. He told that i would receive a new copy in the court documents. In my research I also typed in "Twin Bluffs" and every article came up said it was a scam. I told him this and he noted "that disgruntled people will post stuff on the internet, but this is not a scam and I will be processing paperwork in the Yellowstone county courts. I told him to do what he needed to do, but that all the research and lack of information he was able to provide leads me to believe this is a scam. I hope I am right, but I see this is happening to tons of other people. Any advice would be appreciated.

They are calling threatening my husband with legal action and they will only give me more info if I tell them the last 4 of his SSN. I asked for information in writing and they said my husband will get it in a subpoena and we'll be stuck with the legal fees. If we want to settle we should just work with them. Total scam!

I almost fell for one of these shady fake practices. What a crazy eye opener that was. I did some little research and here is what various victims reported as scam companies. All these companies are listed on the Ripsoff Reports page as companies who call you and threaten you with court if you don’t pay right away. Watch out for these payday loan due agencies, folks (or watch out for people impersonating them): Cash Ace Net (Shawn), National Association of Credit Management (name used is Tom Clark), Rushmore Financial (name used was Kimberly Thompson), Statewide Recovery Group, America Cash net, Cashnet USA, Gibson’s Law Associate, Global Services, Jeff Morgan, Advanced Cash Loan Services, Richard Brown (claiming to rep SpeedyCash), impersonation of Andrew Conner and Ron Carter from Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, Coastal Financial Service, CAM Processing LLC, Twin Bluffs Financial, Austin Wilson Payday Loan, The Atlantic Group, Goldstein & Associates, Atlantic Group Arbitration, CFI Legal, USA/ACE/DebtAdvice, CMG Payday Loans, Convergent Citizens One Auto Finance, American Reimbursement Council, Marcy Williams, Stoneleigh Recovery Associates, Plain Green Loans, Steve Hawkins, Advance America (Rebecca Outlaw), Statewide Mediation Company, Coastal Collections, acecashgroup.org, Twila Gibson/Cash Advance Inc, Jack Morrison

A number called privately and insisted that I contact the number 855-259-5031. I called the number and she told me that I had a lawsuit against my name and social. I asked what company. She said cashnet usa in 2011. She told me that I could make payment arrangement but I didnt have no funds to pay today and she told me that she would go ahead with the legal process. Talked to me real bad and called me names.

A company who calls themselves "Western" - 855- 201-2036 is a scam company. They claim to be an agent for a "payday loan"... Fortunately they gave me a name of a debt agency that they represent. I happened to call that agency and I had no such debt there. Tthey will not reveal any information about their company, OR the details of my debt. They want a visa/mastercard to process a payment or else they threatened to "see me in court". Check the consumer protection agency, do your homework and get the answers you have RIGHTS to.

Beware of fake testimonials like the one below...
"Good day To Every One, I am Banda Tibor and am 49years old, You Know there are so many of us that are in dire need of financial help and it just doesn’t seem that people understand our lives and financial situations what ever each of ours are! Do they? they don’t I guess !! I was in very chronic financial and terminal health situation some few months ago after all my search for assistance from friends and neighbors proved abortive and due to this I had to swallow my pride by asking, searching, and always praying for a kind soul out there to help me and my kids who were driving outta school as a result of my inability to take up with their tuition fees properly since their mum was also late and due to this financial stress and rejection Sometimes I feel there is none who really truly cares. I wish that I could win some money so that I could solve my entire immediate family problems but it was all a mere dream as reality became so real to my face when I was unable to pay my light bills, and my food stuff bills and as a result I had no choice but to search for reputable loan agencies online that lease loans out to the needy but all I got was a bunch of scammers as I believed the very second lender I communicated with due to my desperation to get money ASAP and that made me send to him the only one money I had both on earth and in heaven which is $310 usd and after I sent this , they kept on asking for more and this made me mad that i had to shut down that email because i realized shits and i didn’t bother going online to get any help anymore , because I didn’t trust it anymore . I became so emaciated due to lack of good food and my 2 kids age 5 and 8 were not also good looking due to lack of proper care as a result of finance and one morning I saw an old time family fiend of my wife and I told her all I have been through and she said the only way she could help was to direct me to a good loan agency that also helped her and she explained too on how she was financially down and how she got boosted by this loan agency CALLED MR HUBERT PAWEL LOAN SHARKING INVESTMENT: loansharkinginvestment@gmail.com who gave her loan at an affordable rate and she further assured me that they were legit and not scammers and she also told me what was needed to be done { THE COMPANY ADMINISTRATIVE
PROCEDURE} and she also gave me the email address of the MR HUBERT PAWEL LOAN AGENCY: loansharkinginvestment@gmail.com and I contacted them as instructed and by the grace of GOD ALMIGHTY I was also granted my loan funds within 48 HOURS without any stress or problems and this is why I have come here to give out my testimony and to let the people know that there are still real and reputable loan agencies online: loansharkinginvestment@gmail.com …. If you’re looking at how to get prequalified for a home loan or how to get pre approved for a mortgage, we can help you out. Contact this great company now using this email address: loansharkinginvestment@gmail.com and tell him that I Banda Tibor gave you his email address to contact as he IS REAL, EFFICIENT, DYNAMIC AND 100% RELIABLE……."

I received a call on my cell phone yesterday from a "collections" person stating that I was delinquent on a payday loan from 2011!
I know for a fact that I did not take out any payday at that time. I asked for a phone number of the creditor which they would not provide, and also asked for paperwork as to this debt which they have not provided. Phone numbers 520 200-5240 520 510-0007

Got a call from a No Caller ID number, answered it. It stated that they were looking for me for a payday loan that I paid off years ago. After reading this article, http://www.consumerfinance.gov/askcfpb/1699/how-can-i-verify-whether-or-not-debt-collector-legitimate.html I called back, I asked for their name, American Debt Solutions who is collecting for CMG group. When I asked for their address, Eric Smith hung up on me. HUGE scam alert right there. I called back asking for written validation of the debt. I've asked for this before, but never received it. Know your rights before answering calls like this! People are scumbags looking for free money.

received a call from 1-855-443-8715 stating I took out a payday loan 6 years ago and I owe money. First, they will not send via mail any information on the loan. second, they have your address, snn, and place of employment. it's obvious a disgruntle employee stole the data and sold it to people who want to scam others for money. best thing to do, let them know you have contact the FBI and given all information to them.

Pay-day loan debt scammer, I believe. Automated recording, female voice stating I'm a "person of interest" and to call this number if I'd like to "give a statement" or something like that. Called the number to ask to take off their phone number list, that I already knew they were going to say I took a Payday loan out, and said that I can say with absolute certainty that I have never once taken out a Payday loan. The man who answered wanted me to verify my personal info, address in particular, so he could verify he had the right person and he'd be happy to share with me the information about the debt I owe which he said he had three files connected to my phone number. I told him I will not confirm one bit of info and to please take my phone number off his list. He kept on. I told him if he has an address for me to mail the debt info to me. He then said they did mail it to me and I never responded (which I'm pretty sure was BS - never got any such thing in the mail) I asked to speak to his supervisor, what do you know? He IS the supervisor, how convenient. I asked for agency name and address. He said the name of his agency was Highpoint Asset and they were located at 437 Franklin St. in Buffalo, NY 14202. I have found this address linked with other toll-free numbers and an agency called Concord Resolution Inc. Seems like they change up their number and try calling you again a few weeks after the last attempts didn't work. They seem to get very irate when you refuse to confirm the info they already have about you. He flat out told me he already had my social security number. I didn't ask him to say it though. I think next time I will do what another person said and have them tell me the info and then say "oh no, the right number/address/email/etc. is..." and make some fake info up to throw them off, especially if they are trying to get info to pull an identity theft on you...oh and he kept saying the same line over and over again about how they were "fully in compliance with FTC...Federal Law....entity under which they operate.

I have been receiving calls off and on for about a year. Its always the same thing "I've taken out a payday loan in 2011" they have an old bank name I used to have several years prior and the last 4 digits of my social. They call from various numbers and sometimes multiple times a day. The call and leave an 844 or 855 number but I always redial and get the same person each time. They say there are 2 charges pending against me. Each time I ask for the company name, address, phone number and fax number. Sometimes they will give me the company name they are calling for and the name of the company they are calling about but always refuse contact information.It always ends in them accusing me of refusing to pay and "obviously not wanting to take care of my debts" and threats of reporting me for legal action. Last time I was able to get enough information from the woman to look up a tiny little building operating under an business name. I took it upon myself to send them a certified letter requesting they not call, to verify the debt, and threaten suit if they take further action without verifying the debt. I've hear nothing for a very long time until this week. Same voicemail leaving charge number and 855 number but calling from an instate number. I redial and get a man that claims to be a mediation specialist on behalf of a company trying to collect on a payday loan from 2011. He gives me last 4 of my social, old bank name and an email address that was semi-similar to one i used to have but all the address after the @ part was way off. I explained that I have been through this before and had requested verification in writing as permitted under the Fair Debt Collection Act. He says they sent me an email with the information several times and refused to give it in writing as they are not a collection agency and do not fall under the FTC laws. He begins to get loud and accuses me of "not wanting to take care of my debts obviously and he will report I am refusing to do so". I explain I did not refuse but that I dispute it and wish it to be verified. I eventually hung up. I've made complaints before but its always someone different, some new company and it NEVER stops. At one point they called my father about me and then he even started getting calls telling him he did the same thing.You block one number and another one pops up. Surely someone can stop this from going on and on and on

Receive calls daily from different phone numbers linked to the same company, MPS or Map Processing Solutions. Stating that I owe a payday loan for 2013, using an address that I have not lived at for 10 years. They have even called my brother, my mother and my ex-husband, it is only a robo call, with my name and to hang up if this is not the person they are calling for. This is ridiculous!!

I have received a few calls from a local (602) number in the past and then today received a call from a (480) number stating that there are 2 serious charges against me and that I needed to call 866-445-5617 and provide a case number. I called the number and provided the case number and they had me verify my name and provided me with the last 4 of my social, which I would not verify, and they proceeded to tell me they could not provide any information. This was after they harassed my brother telling him all about these bogus charges. They claim I took out a payday loan in 2009 and 2010 which they also claim I did not pay back. They claimed that they received verification from my bank that I received the supposed money and chose to leave my bank account empty so they couldn't get their money. First of all, the bank cannot legally provide any such information unless they are provided a warrant, and second, I never purposely left my bank account empty since there were bills that came out automatically. I also closed said account 2 years ago and left the bank in good standing. I would not have been in good standing had I done what they claimed. Also, neither payday loan appears on my credit report and I have not received anything in the mail about it, which they are legally obligated to notify you by mail. They claim they did this and provided me an address that I have not lived in for nearly 8 years, which is a longer duration that from when I supposedly received these payday loans. They are scam artists and they hire third party companies to track you down via phone, harass your family members and friends until you give in and call them with the hopes that with their threat of going to court and being sued that you will pay up. The only problem with them is that they change their numbers so often that the FTC cannot track them down and stop them. All you can do is just continue to file complaint after complaint giving them as much information as you can get.

I have blocked different numbers they are calling from and there are several.
Yesterday I received an email on my work address saying that a negative report has been placed on public records. Does this mean they have filed something on my credit report?

Yesterday she called, and when I called back, no one answered and it was a generic voicemail, however, the the gal received my message, but wouldn't leave any details on my voicemail this morning in regards to what this is about. I say, let them take me to court if this is real, but I doubt it is. I received similar calls about 4 or 5 months ago, and they had my old bank information, and said I took out a loan in 2010. Well, I called my old bank and gave them all the information provided to me, and they had no record of me taking out a loan from this company. I was threatened and told I was going to be served court papers, well, guess what? No one showed up :-) These people have some nerve, I tell ya.

203-463-4958, Seymore, CT this number called and left a voicemail on my home and cell phone, claiming they were CRS gave me a file number and said that me or my attorney need to contact them by end of business day. I didn't get the messages till a few days later so I called them, I was put into an automated dialer that said it was trying to reach my party, then said the call couldn't be completed and it hung up on me. I tried back for another 5 minutes, finally got someone on the phone. They knew my name based on the phone number I was calling from. They went on to tell me that I defaulted on a payday loan and would be taken to court. I stopped the woman and told her that I'd never had a payday loan in my life, she interrupted me and said well then I would be fighting this in court, good luck to me and hung up on me. I tried to call the number back several times after that, but they wouldn't answer or it would just ring until I got a busy signal. This is not the first time I have gotten this type of phone call and was actually worried until I did a search online to find out if this was a scam...yes it is. They wouldn't provide me with any documentation of the debt, but what was scary was they had some personal information, the last 4 digits of my ss # and old and not complete email address, and also an old bank I used years ago. I can see how people can be fooled into paying these people if they don't take the time to research. This is really sad that people are doing this to others.

This scam below comes via email. Here is the message I received from "ACS Collection" from an idiot calling himself Roger Smith:

Dear Debtor,

This Legal Proceedings issued on you Docket no: N/143013/92 with one of Cash Advance Inc. Company in order to notify you that after making calls to you on your phone number we were not able to get hold of you. So the accounts department of Cash Advance has decided to mark this case as a flat refusal and press legal charges against you.

CASE NO: N/143013/92
AMOUNT OUTSTANDING: $740.00

We have sent you this warning notification about legal proceedings on March 9, 2015 but you failed to respond on time now it’s high time if you failed to respond in next 24 HOURS we will register this case in court. Consider this as a final warning. And we will be Emailing/ Fax this issue to your current employer to make sure they take strict actions against you. Your salary and all your wages confiscated.

Do revert back if you want to get rid of these legal consequences and make a payment arrangement today or else we would be proceeding legally against you.

And we apologies that this notification will also sent to your current employer. The opportunity to take care of this voluntary is quickly coming to an end. We would hate for you to lose the option of resolving this before it goes to the next step which is a Lawsuit against you, but to do so you must take immediate action.

We will be forced to proceed legally against you and once it is processed the creditor has entire rights to inform your employer and your references regarding this issue and the law suit will be the next step which will be amounting to $6300.00 and will be totally levied upon you and that would be excluding your attorney charges. If you take care of this out of court then we will release the clearance certificate from the court and we will make sure that no one will contact you in future.

Please let us know what your intention is by today itself so we can hold the case or else we will submit the paper work to your local county sheriff department and you will be served by court summons at your door step.

I received an email from cashnetinstantloan4you@gmail.com to my personal email account saying the following:

Hello.
ANGELA XXXXXX

Congratulations! your personal loan application has been approved.

Please find the attached loan approval letter and agreement papers for $5,000.00 from Advance America personal loans.

Please call us back so that we can transfer this amount, and your Loan Approval code is XXXXX

Thanks and regards,
Sr. Loan Officer,

There was an attachment claiming they are affiliated with the BBB. However, already knowing this just had to be a scam, I called and found out that I had to send them an application fee and other fees totaling $223 via Moneygram first and only then would they deposit all the promised funds into my account.

I wish I had a way to attach the letter they sent.

Received a call from 678-263-3133. Didn't answer it, let it go to VM. They say they will "process me
into the system" if I, or my lawyer, don't call back by the end of business today. EXACTLY HOW STUPID DO THEY THINK WE ARE?? If you're going to be served papers, or arrested, the courts and the police DO NOT call ahead of time to tip you off!! What a complete scam! DO NOT pay them anything--ask them to send the claim to your address--IN WRITING! Guess what? They won't. If they did, it would be a federal offense (to use the US mail to scam someone!). I'm going to add this number to my ever-growing list of blocked callers and go about my life. ;)

I received several calls to my place of business and home stating that I took out several loans in 2009 and 2010. The last payday loan I ever taken out was in 2007. THAT was VERY the last and ONLY loan I taken out. The bogus collectors call threating to lock me up for written "a bad check to the client". They also stated that if I don't pay up I will be sent to jail. I received 3 calls a day from different number: 630-315-7174 (local number) asking to contact them at 678-952-8081 from Georgia . They leave a bogus call number along with urgent notice telling me to call back. Then when you call them someone is on the line giggling. They come up on my cell phone with a Georgia number or some other bogus location which is very odd. I filed a BK in 2007 and was told all my debts was discarded in BK and I should not have any debts from that time. They then proceed to tell me I signed a contract and I must pay. The worst part about it is they have so much of personal information that it is the shocker. How does one handle these type of calls, especially when they are calling 2 and 3 times a day harassing me.

Today my cousin got a call from some lady and left her a voice mail saying that she was calling from the fraud department of california and told her that she owed money and gave her a phone number. so she called the number back and a guy picked up and asked for her phone number. The guy then told her that she owed $458 of a loan. The guy's name was William and the call back number was 212-335-3435. He basically told her that she took out a loan and wrote a check and the check was cashed in but the account was closed off. He told her to either decide to pay the whole amount or they would take her to court. My cousin has never taken out a loan. And this guy knew her social and her address. He kept pushing her to pay the whole amount and told her she was going to have a warrant for her arrest if she did not pay. The guy kept calling her sweetheart and kept telling her to protect herself. He ONLY gave her 30 minutes to decide. Total scam..she called the warrant line from the police department and she had no warrant under her name. The guy kept telling her that she received multiple mail about the case. She asked for the name of the person the check was written to but he said he could not give out the information. Watch out guys

Okay today Tues July 29,2015 I received a phone call from a local area code. Thinking it might be a client I called it back. And a woman asked what number I received the call on so I gave her the number. She knew my name and said I would be taken to court if I didn't pay the loan amount I took out in 2010. I have never taken a payday loan out. I told her that and she said I had better get an attorney then. I laughed and said come get me...so after she hung up I called back and demanded the name and number of the bank that said I had a loan with them she rudely said not to worry that would all come out in court and not to call her back. I think I will call back just to irritate her and keep calling for weeks on end.

I have been getting calls from several different numbers, 1-800 numbers and from numbers from different states in the country, saying that I owe money for a payday loan. I have never even applied for any payday loans. They all tell me different amounts that I supposedly owe. One told me I owed $400 plus interest for a loan that I got in August of 2010. Another told me I owed $500 plus interest for a loan from January of 2010 and if I didn't pay I was going to go to court for bank fraud! How could I commit bank fraud?! I would have had to con people out of their money by telling them I was either working for a financial institution or owned one! If I did that then why the hell would I apply for a loan?! When I asked if I could have the address of where these loans were applied for they told me it was done online. When I told them I have never applied for any loans, they said well maybe it was someone you know or someone who got ahold of your information. If that was true then they would not have used my checking account number! I looked through all of my statements from that year as well as 2011 and did not find any deposits for a loan in any amount. Each number that called me was different and from different locations as well. What scared me the most was that they had my info: My previous home address, my social security number, the last four of my checking account number, even the last place I worked. I also looked on my credit report and found nothing about any default loans. This is nothing but a SCAM!!

I finally called back and Christine Washington told me they were collecting a debt from a payday loan. What's scary is that they had a lot of personal information. They told me I had to pay $1850 restitution money, AND THEN they would release my original paperwork showing that I took out a loan. I know I didn't and the more I pressed her, asking for their company name (they gave me three different names, all fictitious), number, and website...she couldn't give me anything. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!! Claimed to be calling from Nevraska, but gave me an Ohio number to call back.

I applied for a payday loan online and consumer payday loan contacted me and said they needed me to wire $180 upfront to get the maximum $3000 loan. This prepay fee was also advertised on their website. After wiring the money to a person named Akash Vijay and calling 646 583 2897 to confirm receipt, they said I needed to pay another 395 to get the money via wire into my bank account. The red flag went up and I asked for the initial loan officer that I spoke with because he didn't tell me about any upfront fee besides the $180. So this guy continued to ignore my request to speak with someone in management. He even said that the government require you to put up the $395 because of the amount. I requested him to email me information as well as mentioned that I wanted to see the documents from the BBB and the Federal Trade Commission stating the details and he hung up. I have been trying to contact them all morning and continue to receive a voicemail.

They called and threatened with serving papers and that I needed to have all GUNS and KNIVES put away and to have any dogs locked up as ANTHONY WOODS the caller was going to find me at several addresses he mentioned on his mesg. He gave me a case number etc... He said he will be showing up at my job etc if he has to.. the number that's been harassing everyone I know is: 855-498-0065. Has anyone else been getting calls from this number at all????? He said it was for Everest Cash Advance and when I called them they said they never heard of the company ACG. I was told by Everest that when someone goes delinquent for any reason they close it out and send it to a collection agency and possibly it was sold to a third part who is threatening people and trying to scare them.

Yesterday and today I received a call from an Eddie Wilson wanting to verify both work and home addresses as documents will be served to me. This came of course, from an 844 number. Said he is with the TR Group. These so called docs are supposed to be served tomorrow 6/4 between 3-5 pm. People like these scam artists must think we don't know how the legal system operates, our rights, etc. Geez I am shaking in my boots over all this..just kidding. I've gotten calks like this before & I don't return the calks. Why bother wasting my time. Please all..do not give even one red cent to these scumbags! God bless~

Got a call from Titan Alliance Group at 1 866 369 7991 in Buffalo New York Same thing I owe for a payday loan for 866 dollars and if they dont get it they will take me to court and charge me thousands more. I keep calling them back saying send me to court come on lets go Im waiting to go to jail. This is for a loan that I took out 8 years ago. First this would be on my credit report which it is not. Second those payday loan people would never wait 8 years to get there money. So this is a scam and I never took out any loan. They knew my number by heart because I call them back so much and threaten them. They never answer the phone with a company name they say how can I help you or just hello. Dont pay them anything just tell them to eat it and die and to quit stealing peoples money.

I received a call today from a very hostile person stating I had committed a felony by opening a Pay Day Loan and not repaying it, and/or using false bank account information to apply for the loan. The representative recited my old address (I haven't lived there in 6+ years), she quoted the last 4 digits of my SS number, and gave me the email address they had on file. I asked if she could send me legal documents showing the complaint and charges -- she stated correspondence had already been sent to my physical and email address. I told her the physical address on file was incorrect and that I hadn't received anything via email pertaining to this charge. She said it doesn't matter anymore, the only two things she wanted to hear from me was that I would claim responsibility for this or I would be obtaining a lawyer and defending myself in court. I told her I didn't want to make any decision until I saw the charges and information in its entirety. She hung up on me.

I called back immediately to get more information. After a quick shouting match (she was very rude and hostile, lol), I asked who was making this claim; she said, "United First Federal Bank". She told me they have a cease and desist order against me so I am not allowed to contact them (I searched online and couldn't find that "bank"). She mentioned again that I should contact a criminal lawyer right away because I would be arrested soon. She was "putting in an order to revoke my driver's license" and the arresting officer would be at my doorstep or my place of employment within in 24hrs. She ended the call with some kind of tag line "lawyer up and good luck" or something. Sure...

I recieved a call today saying that I had defaulted on a paday loan in 2010. I informed them that I had not taken a payday loan and this was a mistake. They had an old email adress that i have not used since 2008 and a bank name that I have used for the last 10 years. I asked the name of thecompany that was suing me they gave me WJT LLC. Never heard of it. They this company owns alot of payday loan places. Again I told them I have not taken out a payday loan and wanted some specifics on month and day this supposedly happened and the last four digits of the bank account this was suppose to have gone into. They said they cannot inform me of this but I can dispute this and go to court. I would be getting a supena within 48 hours. I asked for specifics again and said that if I am being sued I should at least be able to know who and when this happened so I can pull my bank records for proof of never recieving money. I also told them that this payday company dosnt come up on the internet when I punch it in. They said well google dosnt tell you everything. I answered wouldnt they come up on a serach for pay day loans if they were real. Then the lady got mad. So thats your defence. Since they dont excist on the internet they arent real. Please sir. Then I told her that her company dosnt come up either nor is the phone number you are using registered anywhere. She just said well you will see when your supena comes. Surrreee I will. And she hun up. Phone number was 12176669833

On May 13th, 2015 I got a automated voice saying, "You have two new charges against you in your county, associated with your name and social security number. Pay Day Loans has filed a complaint where you took money out from Pay Day Loans on January of 2013, and you will be served papers from the sheriff within 5-6 business days. They gave the case number. but I was at a place where I couldn't write down the case number.
I called the number back and the lady about 60 years old said that I will get served the papers, and then if you choose you can have it disputed in court, but you will have to pay the court charges.
I told her that I never have gotten pay day loans.
She told me three addresses where I have lived. I affirmed that they were places I have lived. She gave the name of a bank that I have moved 3000 miles away from 7 years ago and don't bank there any more. She said it is that bank that has filed the claim, because they paid off pay day loans. (If I understood her right.) I told her that I didn't bank there for the last seven years, and you are claiming that that bank would have paid off a debt I owe. That's not possible.
Then she gave the name of my brother and asked if it was possible that he would have used my information and gotten a pay day loan. I told her that he never does pay day loans either.
Then she said, "Well, someone has stolen your identity and used your personal information. We are a mediator between you and the prosecutor. They hired attorneys to try to find you. The only thing you can do, short of paying it now is dispute it in court.
I asked why it has gone this long without me hearing about this at all. She said they did reach out to me.
They have sent you letters in the mail at the following addresses: and she named the three addresses again. And they were certified letters, so you signed them.
I told her I have not gotten anything in the mail about this, and if somehow I missed the regular mail, I'm sure I didn't receive any certified letters that I signed. So this is impossible. Maybe someone has copied my signature and is signing them.

Then I talked to a friend and he thought this sounds like a scam. So he thought pay day loans should know about this. I don't have a name. All I have is a phone number, and I called them back on this number and it reached them: (314) 884-3226

OMG I was crying and yelling at the guy Mr. Williams and said this is a scam this is bull!!!! Then he was saying he could negotiate for a lower amount etc... and came back saying $725 and then he tried for an even lower amount and I hung up the phone. He tried to call me back twice but I did not pick up the phone because I tried to find The Becker Group in Amherst NY where he said they were located and I could not find it!!!!! Please someone tell me is this a SCAM?? How did he know a lot of my info???
I did not give up any info I just said yes to my email, and the last 4 of my Social security#. I moved 2 years ago and they did not even know that. One thing I did ask is "If they couldn't get a hold of my why didn't they email me? They had my email address?" he said it doesn't work that way!
None of it added up.

Regional Finance Co says that I owe them $1300.00. When I ask to send me proof that yes, indeed, I cashed their check for $1300 on Jan 29, 2015, they first said that they had to check with their supervisor. Then they called the next day and ask if I received their e-mail concerning proof. To this day, I have not received any proof. I checked my bank and they told me that they do not have a record of a Regional check being deposited into my account. I also asked them to stop sending me checks from their company. I do not know if they will comply with my request.

I do not know what else to do if they do not send me proof. I want them to stop doing this practice. I am afraid that they may be doing this to other customers. Please advise. Their address is Regional Finance Corp, 3465 W. Walnut Street, Suite 107, Garland,Texas75042
They also wanted me to come to their office to sign an affidavit so they can begin an investigation. But, I am afraid to go to their offices.
I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Thank you.

They also have an office here in the state of Louisiana called PreTrial Services (337)205-0670. They threatened to put a hold on my drivers license and press fraud charges.

Today I have been called by Nationwide Credit Recovery (662-223-3185) first on my work phone then on my cell phone. After talking with Sharon Smith they contacted my brother and my ex-husband asking if they knew how to contact me. They are harassing me for a payday loan that I never took out dated four years ago 9/2011. They are claiming that I have defaulted on this loan and that they are taking me to court. I told them that they were not taking me to court because they couldn't even tell me who I owed. Just that they received the information from Vin Capital LLC, of whom I have never of heard. after talking to them twice today, I called them back and told them DO NOT call my family members again!!

On 3/24/15 A relative of mine, who shares my first name, notified me of phone call received regarding a case linked with my Social. I called back the following day, March 24, 2015, and spoke with Diego Rios who works for FMR (Forward Movement Recovery) - which according to them they are not a collection agency but rather a credit guarantor that specifically handles breaches in contracts. Diego informed me of a payday loan i supposedly took out in 2011 from a company that goes by " Access Holdings,' though runs off many sister brands with different names, and therefore could not specifically tell me which sister company i had supposedly borrowed the amount of $500 from. He began confirming the email address used, the last four of my ss, the last for digits of a supposed bank account and my name. All of which seemed to be pretty accurate, however was non existent at the time (2011). I was then transferred to Angela ext. 303 and she basically reiterated what Diego had said but with more words. I told her i had no recollection of such happenings. She said she was going to take it up with her superiors.

I then researched the name and was brought to this website where i read the message posted on March 21 with a similar experience, I called the number provided on the post and asked for the same person "Jeff o brain" the fellow who answered, john sullaven (the "psyc" who can pick up on voice intonation to figure one out), said he was out of the office and claimed to be his supervisor which could help me with my issue. I played dumb and acted as if this was my first call and tried to have him explain to me the facts of the matter, he too reiterated the same info as the angela and diego, though he sounded a bit hesitant. as there was probably some notes taken down of my previous call. The discussion followed into an argument of childishness and soon after he finally hanged up.

I called Angela right back, though was transferred to her voice mail (877) 482-0779 ext. 303

I left her a msg regarding the incident with john sulluvin, the chaman.

I hope this matter is just an intent of a scam and ends here without it escalating into a more serious matter.

They claimed they were the firm this financial company hired to offer representation and that if I would pay them they would take my name off the list so I wouldn't be arrested. I could get no information from them as to a phone number to call this supposed company directly and received nothing in the mail. I am 85 with a heart condition and certainly didn't need this scam.

On 3/19/15 I received a call from a Charles Douglas saying he needed my address in order to deliver my 'claim'. He provided me with a name and number to contact to see what this was about. The number I called was 877-407-2592 which is FMR (Forward Movement Recovery) and I spoke with a Jeff O'Brien. They claimed they were hired to collect a payday loan that I took in 2011 which was never repaid. I never took a payday loan and why would someone wait 4 years before collecting on a loan? When I looked up this company I could find out nothing about them. They claimed to be in West Seneca, NY. I contacted the police in West Seneca as well to report his. They told me if I didn't clear this up, I would get into further trouble and end up owning more money (accumulated interest). I asked for specifics, but only got a standard (looks like fake) email from them with only a general claim number and a name of the place where the original loan was taken (which also cannot be found on the internet). Definitely know I've been scammed.

I went online Mar 15, 2015 and applied for a loan to help with closing costs on a house I was buying. The next day I got a call from Advance America and was told I was approved for up to 5000.00. I was to go to a money gram area at Walmart and load 185.00 on a prepaid card and once they got the reference number they would then give me the loan. Two hours later they needed 300.00 for a credit score, and another ref number. Then they came back and said I needed to pay 407.00 to bump my score up. All total I paid over 1500 and they want more. Plus they want 125.00 to cancel the whole thing and get my money back. But if I did cancel then I was threatened with it effecting my credit score and any possible online loans for 2 years.

I told them that's impossible and if it came from this location how was it submitted, via phone, Internet or mail? He said I will have to connect you to my supervisor. Then he switched me off and a recording said "this phone is not taking messages. Goodbye" and it disconnected me. I tried to call the number back and no one answers the phone.

I received a voice message a few minutes ago from 732-399-9472. It appears to be an automated call on behalf of Martin Riley who seems to be the Attorney handing "my case". Trouble is, this is indeed a scam!

I can't take it, these people are sitting around doing nothing constructive with their lives only thinking of ways to get into your wallet!

SCAM ALERT! SCAM ALERT! SCAM ALERT!!!!!!

Someone from Advance Credit Capital Solutions called about a company called Triple Services LLC. threatening for me to call or ask a lawyer to call them. After Googling and reading comments on the above this is FRAUD!! They mentioned I talked to a Mark Carey. I know of no such conversation. I do remember a loan with them but they committed fraud on my old bank accounts when they would hit my account and overdraft it atleast 2times a day on some occasions. They called my Aunt's home number of whom I don't even live with.

I received multiple calls from 808-215-0005 over the past week. The caller, "Investigator Martin Riley" from "Capital Providence," states there is a civil case with my personal info attached to it (name and SSN). The first few calls were left on my voice mail and instructed me to call their claims department (but left no callback number). The message also instructed me to push any key if I wanted to speak to their claims department (it's a rabbit hole that just keeps telling me to enter the number of the person I want to speak with). I finally decided to answer one of the calls, but it was a recording (the same statement that was left on my voice mail). A co-worker also experienced a similar series of calls.

I received a call from someone claiming they were from a law firm and representing Alliance pay day loans. This person said that I took out a payday loan in 2011 and that I now owed 2800.00. This was a complete scam as I never took out a payday loan for 350.00 in 2011 over the Internet. The person claimed that the "lead attorney" was going to take me to court. The scary thing was they had all of my banking information and my social security number.

I received a call from Kevin from 3476271160. He stated that he was contacted by my lender to collect all money owed from my outstanding loan. He wanted all payments from the agreement set up with me made via Money pack. I paid $350 so far. There's no paper trail. I'm so upset. I basically handed him my money. I was informed tonight about this scam. I will be contacting him in the morning to make him aware that I am on to him. Please beware of the money pack cards and the money grams to false accounts.Lesson learned

Received several calls James Lopez: referencing a claim # and that he was assigned to a investigation request on my where-abouts and location. I should Call Atlantic 877-264-5052. It was in reference to a payday loan from 2011. ?? they said I received the money but they were unable to get it back out. This is not truth. I didn't get an online payday loan and if I did and didn't pay it back I would believe i would hear something within 4 years. They called my cell, work and moms phone. I told them I spoke to the Federal trade commission and they needed to provide me the information in writing and she told me that I could use their online portal to receive the information. Due to the time restriction,there would not be time to mail it. Really? Time restriction? Its been 4 years! So I said I didn't have online access and I would contact the FTC again to find out the rules for me to get the documents in the mail. Have not heard from them since.

I received a voicemail from Martin Riley Investigators claiming there was a civil matter attached to my phone number and social security number. When I play the message there is no return number to call. I have been thru something very similar about 5 years ago. I didn't believe what they were telling me and I called the police. The police tried to reassure me it was a scam and the officer also gave me the number of an attorney to contact. The attorney contacted the alleged lawyer harassing me and asked for the lawyers Bar# (every lawyer has one and none are duplicated). The Ba# given to my attorney was of a deceased CA. Lawyer. The harassing lawyer disconnected the call once my attorney confronted him. It pays to do your research.

Leaving messages threatening they are going to file a legal complaint against me. Since I have nothing to hide and know this is a SCAM I filed a police report naming them as possible suspects in identity theft ring and gave my local police department the numbers they have called from 909-245-1983 and 844-248-1983. those are only the 2 numbers out of various numbers they use to call people. I encourage you to file an identity theft report with your local police department and get these people off the streets.

The first time you get these kind of calls ask for their address, you want to come in and talk to them.

Today, January 6, 2015 I got a phone call from 469.250.2098 from Jessica Lane? NO name of company. Only that she is in possession of "documents" for two counts of check fraud. And that they were going to send the information to my "local" sheriff's department and serve the address associated with my phone number, if I did not respond. Well good luck! Firstly, I dont write checks. Secondly, I moved. And Thirdly, if they were a reputable legal agency, they would know the name of my county. The worst part is, they called my father in Tennessee. This is not the first time I have been a target for fraud. I got this same phone call last year...nothing ever happened and I never responded. I also got a threatening phone call from the "IRS". It was not the IRS. I did speak to that guy. I let him right quick and in a hurry that I knew he was a fraud and that I was calling the IRS. He hung up and I never heard back from him. My advice, is do not pay ANY money over the phone, do NOT give them your banking info EVER. DEMAND that they send you in writing proof of your debt. This is a legal requirement of the Fair Debt Collection Act. Even if you know or think you know you owe them, make them put it in writing. Protect yourself and create a paper trail. IF they refuse, you know right then its fraud. A reputable collection company will not refuse to send you valid proof of a debt owed. And do not accept it via email. Demand it be mailed via the US Postal Service.

Received call from 303-309-9844, asking to return a call to 844-228-6340. They stated I owe a payday loan, which I have never had in my life. They are threatening legal action and they also threatened to serve me at my CEO's house after they call them directly. These people are ruthless, and full of crap. They tried to get me to verify information which I did not do. I told them if they actually had paperwork for me to bring it to me. She just wished me "good luck" as I hung up. I searched for the (303) number and nothing came back, I searched for the 844 number and nothing came back. I called back to get the name of their company and it is Capital, Harris, Miller & Associates. I searched for them and found that they are in the BBB with an "F" rating and also they are NOT accredited. Do not disclose any information. Always ask for information in writing. They supposedly have all your addresses (home, work) so make them supply the information.

Today, December 5, 2014 at 1:30 pm PST. I just received a phone call from a company called Capital Providence 562-553-3116, and since I'm always being wary of anything (former government auditor), I double check everything before I even respond. The automated call was very aggressive in tone (my first cue that this was a scam), and threaten a bench warrant to be issued against me for failure to press #9 to speak to a representative (cue 2, I have a law degree and I know the law); therefore, I hung up and decided to research this and found you guys. Amazing how they got my phone number as I am unlisted everywhere, but I'm going to really watch my credit report and happy that I have alerts for any suspicious activity. Please report this to the FBI hotline by filing a complaint online with our Internet Crime Complaint Center or by using our online Tips and Public Leads form; and you can find it here at http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx or here at http://www.fbi.gov/scams-safety/e-scams/e-scams

Received a call today from Capital Providence regarding a 2008 payday loan thru cashnet usa. I had paydays loans back during that time. I gave my card info and told them they could process it on 11/28. After doing some research after the call, I went to my local sheriffs office and city police department and was advised to cancel my debit card. Went to my bank and cancelled the card before they could take the money. Won't fall for that one again. I called the company back to get the docket number they were referencing and was transferred, left on hold for 10 minutes and the call dropped. When I tried to call back my call was directed to a generic voice mailbox. Be wary of Capital Providence.

Ha i had the exact same thing happen a few months ago. I told them take me to court too;-) haven't heard from them since! I also stated repairing my credit and i get fraud protection free.
Be wise too about usa financing who says they are involved with greendot money cards They will say you're approved for 1500.00 up to 7000.00 and you can get the money in 10 min AFTER you put 198.00 on a greendit money refill pak .They tell you someone from greendot will call in 15 min to verify funds so you never have to worry about losing it. However, the 800 number the person from "green dot"calls from is a non return call number. The company usa financing says green dit has lots and lots of 800 numbers that dont receive calls only makes them. THIS IS NOT TRUE! Watch out fr theze people....th loan documents they send youlook VERY REAL however read ths wording....ex: our & hour...they say within the our and receive your "money cash".
Please don't be taken! If it feels wrong DONT DO IT., the universe is warning you that's why you get that feeling.

I received an email from this address stating I was approved for a $5,000.00 loan and need to contact them! I called the number listed @ 484 525 6755 and spoke with Eric Gordon. He stated that I would need to show validation in my account of the first payment of $175.00 in order to verify that I was able to make the required monthly payments. Once the money was available I was asked to load the money on a green dot card and that there would be a $4.95 charge to do this once loaded I was to call the same # back and give them the # on the back of the card. I did this and called back and was directed to Kevin Wright which in return said that the company needed an additional $325.00 verified to equal 10% of the loan being a total of $500.00 to be verified. He assured me that once I did this the money for the loan and the $500 would be sent to my account. I was then called after 45 min by a Hugh Foster stating that they were unable to transfer the money into my account and I would have to go to a western union to pick it up. Because of this method I would need to pay $220.00 for them to send it. I paid this amount, called them back and spoke with Hugh Foster again he said he would call me back in 15 min with the confirmation code to use at the western Union to pick up the transactions. He never called back so I panicked and called back . No answer. I called 10 more times still no answer. I know I have been scammed now, but in my defense these gentlemen were very good at what they did. The email I received had attached documents that stated the terms of the loan, payment, percentage and length of the loan. I felt it was a true loan company as I was looking for a loan to fix my credit!

I have received many phone calls telling me I have a loan preapproved. Then they told me that to get the loan I have to use a vanilla reload network card. I googled it an read all the scams. I told them off but now they call me all the time. Different phone numbers. I am really thinking of calling the police. 510-854-1235 916-469-7503 510-355-8702 713-597-6174 979-200-7445 202-239-0398 805-876-5188 805-308-2880 216-414-3145 and 20011

Got a call from a rude guy named Dean Marshall 832-532-6839 he said I bounced checks and that "they" were coming to get me.

I received a phone call at work from an Emma Ventina from a company called API, saying her phone number is 210-762-6530. She stated that she had an affidavit in her office with my social security number. I had to call her back immediately. I DO NOT respond to anyone who cannot mail me a copy of a bill to my home address and I never give out any bank information over the phone. I have been scammed before and you will NEVER see your money again. Hang up on these people or DO NOT answer their calls. If I do not know the phone number, I let them leave a message.

Alright people threaten to report them to the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission. This is a very highly illegal form or coercion. They only call right, you don't receive anything in the mail? Tell them to mail you a bill so you know what company it is then look them up on the BBB website. If yo find them file against them. If you don't find them call the police!!! They do say they are calling from the check fraud division and they want to argue with you if you call them on their FRAUD they argue or just plain hang up on you. Whatever you do, don't give them any information. Most calls will be coming from a local area code. Once you block a number they start calling you from another one. Most likely these calls are coming from an untraceable prepaid cell phone.

Received a call that stated "we are very concerned for you and will need to speak with you immediately." Received several calls, back to back. I called back after listening to the voicemails. The phone rang 10x and an automated answering service picked up the line. It did not state the name of the business just stated to leave a message. I did not leave a message, however a call was immediately returned. I spoke with a lady and she asked if she could verify information. She them stated that she needed to connect me to a compliance officer. Once on the phone with "Frank Watson" he was able to provide me with very detailed information including : banking institution, previous address, current address, previous employer and social security number. After giving me that information "Frank" stated that I owed $790 immediately or I would need to surrender to authorities or they would come to my residence and detain me this evening. He told me that he would give me an hour to call family to get the money paid. He then offered me to pay 60% and finish the payment within 30 days. Before hanging up he wished me the best and said he wanted me to resolve this issue. If I did not resolve the issue within hours I would be detained on a level 3 felony. Please excuse the misspelled words and poor grammar. I am unable to edit this post. Sarah Austin/Houston Texas

I received a phone call from #210-762-6530 saying I owe for a payday loan I took out in 2012. They threatened to supeona me and have me arrested if I did not settle the amount right then. I have no such payday loan debt and besides that, payday loans cannot criminally go after you for failure to pay. Additionally, if that had been the case, they would not have waited 2 years to contact me. This is totally a scam, but be warned they are very good. Totally scare the he!! out of you.

I have been receiving phone calls from a company stating that I have a claim filed against me for check fraud and will be arrested if I do not settle immediately. The main phone# they call from is 855-245-0089, but another is 855-245-0082. They get very rude and angry when I advise them that I know this is a scam and offer to provide my attorney information and hang up, but they call back repeatedely after this. Unfortunately I do not have a block option on my phone, but have learned to ignore the calls.

I have received calls from 2 numbers: 713-219-9219 in TX. & 754-551-9419 in FL. The callers have very strong foreign accents and it is hard to tell exactly where they say they are calling from, but it concerns my being approved for the loan that I recently applied for. I think the amount they stated was $3000. I have not applied for a loan...obviously a scam. When I told them that I knew they were trying to scam me and that I didn't want anymore calls, they hung up. But, then they called back twice in less than 5 minutes to hassle me. I have blocked the numbers.

I was scammed/robbed by a loan company.

01/07/13
I received multiple calls in the last few weeks from a New York phone number (347) 509 2358 saying I was approved for a 10k loan. I finally thought I could consolidate my debts and have one payment monthly...and this would help my credit and get me back on track since I am working two jobs and can't make ends meet right now.
I decided to take out 5000 and they said all I would need to do is show proof of income by loading a credit reload card and giving them the code to receive than put back onto the loan for a total of 5200 to be deposited into my account within 40 minutes.
I walked through the procedure and they said for me to give the banking information to transfer the funds.... and then I will be paying 229/month for 24 months to pay back the loan with a 10% interest. I will call you back in 40minutes to let you know that the money is in the account. An hour passes so I check in and now I have someone else on the phone because the first agent mislead me and now I need to load up another 350 for insurance purposes. I argued that was not told to me and unfair. Grahm Smith the transaction manager, said that he would lower it to 137.00 if I could get it to them by tomorrow. I have to borrow money from my friend just to be able to do this and now...I follow instructions and they say my money is at Western Union. I go with the Money Transaction Code, and they said there was no transfer. I call and Grahm all the sudden is unavailable. He says he will call me back and let me know what was going on, but he never calls. I get ahold of another agent after 10+ phone calls and he stutters on giving me his name. At this point I know I have been scammed. Now, I have since made 25+ phone calls and have gotten nothing but a recording, a disconnection, or a hang up.
Every time I called it was a foreign accent and it sounded like a loud call center. with I hear agents talking in the background dealing with the same issue. Every person I talked to stuttered when giving their name. My last conversation with Grahm Smith, he was rude and hung up on me.

I WAS APPLYING FOR A PAYDAY LOAN, USING AN "https://" website, I GOT A CALL FROM THIS WOMAN SHIRLEY WHO HAD MY INFORMATION AND SAID I WAS APPROVED FOR VARIOUS AMOUNTS. SHE SAID THAT SINCE MY CREDIT SCORE WAS LOW, I NEEDED TO PROVIDE CASH ASSUARANCE BY WAY OF A "RELOADIT CARD", WHICH THEY WOULD USE TO VERIFY THAT I HAD ATLEAST $200 IN MY BANK ACCT. SHE SAID THEY WOULD CHECK THE AMOUNT BY MY GIVING HER THE "PACK NUMBER" WHICH WAS ON THE BACK. THIS NUMBER ALLOWS THE RELOADIT CO TO TRANSFER AND RE-FUND THE CARD. WHEN I GAVE HER THE NUMBER AFTER I BOUGHT AND FUNDED THE CARD FOR $200.00, SHE SAID THE MANAGER WOULD CALL ME BACK TO AUTHORIZE THE LOAN FUNDS AND THEY WOULD SEND DOCUMENTS FOR ME TO COMPLETE. AFTER 1 HOUR I GOT A CALL FROM THE MANAGER NAMED JOHN WHO SAID THE BANK WIRE FEES ARE NOW $ 172.00 AND I HAD TO PAY THAT BEFORE THEY WOULD RELEASE THE DOCUMENTS AND THE LOAN MONEY. SINCE THIS WASN'T PART OF MY INITIAL DISCUSSION WITH SHIRLEY, I ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK ON MY RELOADIT CARD, AS THEY HAD TRANSFERRED IT TO AND ACCOUNT ENDING IN # 7816. JOHN SAID HE COULD NOT RETURN MY $200.00 BUT OFFERED TO REDUCE THE WIRE FEE TO $ 117.00, OR REFUND $ 28.00 BACK INTO MY CHECKING ACCOUNT. WHEN I REFUSED HE DISCONNECTED.

Around Sept 25 2013 my grand daughter receive a call stating that she had written a bad check in 2010 to a Payday Loan company. They were threatening to swear out a warrant for her arrest if she did not send them 918.00 dollars by 5 pm. She called me I questioned her about it. She stated that she never wrote a check to a Payday loan. It was man calling and he had her SS# address and present place of work.

They gave here information on were to send the money. I told her it sounded like a scam. Again on 10/1/2013 she responded to this call and was told that to avoid policeman co.Inge to her job she needed to send the money by 5 pm. She called husband at work and me. I went to the apartment where they live.

She also reported that she had received calls from Metro police Dept. It was 862 number which is the prefix. She talked to someone who identified himself as officer Martin. Her husband then told her that the apartment manager report to him that the police had been out there looking for her the day before. She also said that her mom said the police had been calling her house looking for her. We went to Walmart and went as far as filling out the form to send money to Johnson and Johnson Financial.

I handed my granddaughter my card. Then I noticed the SCAM sign in front of the cash register. A police officer was on his way out of the store and I desired to stop him and ask for his advice. He explained that it sounded like a scam also needed to check it out before sending money. Went to the Criminal Justice Center and was told to return home then call the non emergency number. We did as told. The Police officer came out to my house and took a report. My granddaughter was still very upset about the whole deal. While waiting on the police to come out we looked up Johnson and Johnson. In Jacksonville Florida. We called the Chamber of Commerce and the. BBB also in Jacksonville Florida. Reported this to the. Found that the phone area code that the man was calling from. Was from Washington . The metronome Nashville Tn police made out a report a d gave us a very valuable lecture.

We were just SWIPE away from sending a criminal 918.00 dollars. I am so thankful for the outcome. I watch American Greed and will encourage family and fiends to watch. Will also hive them ck out this Webb site. This needs to spread like wild fire.
