These people called me claiming i have a lawsuit in California and never said what part of california.  He said his name was Mark Brown (Paralegal) and the Attorney name was suppose to be John Walter both have an Arabic, Middleeastern accent.  They would not give me any information and wanted to know my intentions of paying this loan back or i would have to go to court tommorrow with my attorney in California. I kept asking what the name of the company he then said it was Cashadvance which has over 100 different compainies under it. so after arguing with him because he would not give me info..he told me to be in court and hung up on me.

Today (3/29/11), I received the same called and given the same information, referencing TL post.  It was very interesting that they couldn't give you any information.  I truly hope that someone can find out exactly who this is and find away to have them stop and sued if possible.

i recieved a call today 3/30/2011 stating i have 3 charges against me for a loan on easycash.com which is in german i dont speak or understand german he stated his name was richard parker and had a middleeastern accent he said it would cost me 3,257 dollars to be expidited to california being that i was raised in texas he stated that if i do not show up to court in ca he wouldnt tell me the court name or the city in which the court is in. this is a scam and we need to stop them. my brother in law got on the phone and said he was my spouse he asked for a supervisor the guy said he works alone. i have worked in call centers before everyone has a supervisor no matter how high you are in a company. the guy then said he didnt have to give out anymore information and hung up on my brother in law. has anyone ever got summoned or had to go to court? he also said that i would be summoned friday morning. we will see.

I recieved a call today, April 6, from Richard Parker at the phone number 209-563-4218. He said i illegally took out a loan from EasyCash.com to my USAA accunt and it would cost me 3,257. (At this point he had not disclosed how much). After I argued with him asking for contact information for the payday loan website, I admitted to applying for a few payday loans, but not from EasyCash.com. (MyCashNow.com, MoneyMutual.com, etc). I never recieved any funds into my account and i have bank statements to prove it. I explained this to Richard Parker and he replied, "Then why are they suing you!" Excuse me? Why are you calling me? He told me that I will get a visit from my local sheriff tomorrow. We'll see. (He also had a middle eastern accent, I even asked him to put someone else on the phone who could read the charges to me more clearly, but then he began yelling at me!)

They  have called me from two different numbers one is 661-270-6712 and the other is 209-563-4218. I reported the first number to the FTC.

they called saying they were with a lawfirm but won't give me any info. they have all my info and claim i took out a loan and didn't repay it.

Hi All!

I too got the "You're geting sued, you're going to jail, blah blah.  I was honestly a little worried at first, but after really thinking about it and researching it, totally a scam.

To STOP THE CALLS, Call them back. Act worried. keep asking the same questions. Annoy THEM!  I called 10 times in 4 hours, and they were getting really upset with me.  Finally, I told them to simply send the papers to my house, and never call again or I will call them back repeatedly to get more info.  The calling has stopped.

PS, They never showed up at the office, neither did any court paperwork.  BOGUS, Dont let it get you going.

I have received numerous calls from this company asking for a Nicole B......   They have been told for over 4 months that there is no one at this residence with that number.  I get voice mails from them about 2 times a week.  They called earlier this week and asked to speak with Nicole and my daughter answered the phone.  The rude guy kept calling her honey and baby and asking her what she was doing.  Then he called three times today and kept asking to speak with Nicole.  When told there was no one here at that name he kept trying to get my daughter's name, etc.  She finally hung up on him.  I called him back and asked to speak with a manager and he refused to let me talk with one.  After a few minutes, he informed me he was a supervisor. I finally hung up on him.

Yep - Me too guys, a "John Anderson" calling me threatening me that I have 3 counts against me for me to pay up!  I told him his accent was wayyyy to heavy for me that I must speak to someone english speaking!

Recently, I have been receiving many calls at home that hang up when my answering machine comes on.  (I answer the phone for a living, and love it.  However, the last thing I want to do when I get home is answer the phone, so I don't.)  Yesterday at work, I got several very angry calls that sounded like I was in collection.  I told the guy not to call me.  He did.  The guy said that he was from Superior Court in CA.  I asked him what county.  He didn't know.  I told him emphatically not to call me.  He called three times more.  The fourth time, I pretended to take a message for myself and took a message.  I asked him the phone number.  It was 209-563-4218.  I asked him his name.  He said John Walter.  I see from another message that he's used this name before.  Because of his accent, I knew he was lying and told him so and hung up.  When I got home, I had a very long message from him insisting that I return his call.  I did get a payday loan last month, as family was coming to visit.  I paid it all in full!  It was well worth getting the loan.  It allowed me to really treat my family to a nice time while they were here.  However, I'm sickened that this may be the reason that I am now receiving these calls.  I pray they don't mess with my bank account.

I too received a call from 209-563-4218.

I was told that I would have Ca investigators come pick me up 3000 miles away, and take me to CA for my hearing next week. He said the papers will be here Friday, and that they are suing me for the money.

I was actually a bit frightened at the thought of going to jail for something.. He sounded very confused and did not want to answer any specifics.  

Thanks to this blog, I realized this is fraud! Thanks!

F*** these people.F****n' scam artists

I am concerned,though,that these slimy as!@#$%^ DO actually have my card numbers and WILL try to just steal the money if i wont give it to them.Im not so sure that they can,but...what would stop them from submitting a debit charge to my bank account?When i buy something at the store and use my debit card(which happens to be the same card that the payday loan in question was deposited onto because it is the same card i submitted on the application!!that they have bought or hacked),the money goes into a "hold" or is directly withdrawn...no cv # needed,no verification,no nothing!!Im really not sure how the bank authorizes the validity of the debit charge submitted to them,whether there is some code or some "group or some organization that said creditor must be a part or member or due payor to in order to submit a debit charge(my guess is,though,that these creditors might pay a company that provides the service ie:VISA,or the company that actually provides the machine ie:when you buy dinner at ARBYS and pay with your debit card.)?
ON THE OTHER HAND,being a "member"of such an organization would create an ip adress,would necessitate an "account" from which a fee or percentage could be determined and payed,would expose them to tracing and would be a bad move from the perspective of the thief.
Iam going to just close the account and use a real bank instead of an online one..at least i THINK im safer there,and NEVER EVER APPLY FOR ANOTHER PAYDAY LOAN AGAIN!!! But,does anyone actually know the answer to this question?Can these slimy as@#$%^& actually take the money out of my account without me authorizing it?

I have been recieving calls from these worthless pieces of bovine defication for OVER A YEAR NOW!!!.At first they claimed to be attorneys,but now they dont bother.Its always about some payday loan i never applies for from a company that either is a BROKER for the loan and not the actual lender(ie;CASHADVANCE.COM,FASTCASH.COM),or has never seen my name,or warns me upon contacting them that i am being scammed??(lol),or dont lend outside of their state,or dont exist?THEYuse more than 1 number when they leave a message,because ive recieved calls from 209-563-4218,951-252-2614,(and other numbers that im looking for in my cell) ALWAYS with the same message,the same claim,the same threats,and indian accent/badly garbled american sounding name.
They have even THREATENED TO GARNISH MY WAGES!!!They repeatedly have called my employer in the middle of the morning ,and leave a message under the guise of"GARNISHMENT" or"SHERIFFS DEPT"!!They have threatened a lot of things ,but,IT IS ALL THE STUFF OF WHICH THESE WORTHLESS.MOTHERLESS,A@#HOLES ARE MADE OF!!!!(and,for the slower ones in the class..it means that IT IS ALL BULLS@#$!!!
I am in the process of filing a complaint with the F.T.C.,the B.B.B,my states A.G.,as well as,a harassment complaint with my local police.I will do whatever i can do to see these AS!@#$%!! OUT OF BUSINESS!!!

Don't be scared that can't do anything to you. Its a scam. I laughed at them and I told them my attorneys name and number and told them I triple dog dare you to call him.......These people have nothing better to do with their time! Just laugh it off and make fun of them and say ok I'll be waiting with my hands behind my back.

Got a call from these Jokers today. Gave me the same rigamorole as everyone else. Stated that they were a law firm, and that I owed U.S. Cash advance, and that they tried to do the most recent debit to my account back in feb 2011 and it was denied (I had just gotten my tax refund so my bank account was FAT at the time). They had my correct ssn#, back account #, and both employment and home numbers. Dude finally hung up on me because he caught me so off guard that all I could say was, "wtf are you talking about, i'm confused". I called back just to have another joker named Richard Parker scream obsceneties at me and tell me that he didn't care if I contacted the attorney general's office because they are "untraceable", and that they would be at my place of employment Friday morning with a warrant for my arrest. Called back a 3rd time (give them a little taste of their own medicine) and spoke with another male maned "Ronnie". He admitted (LOL!) that they were a call center located in Pakistan (he got insulted when I said they were of Indian descent!! LOL) and that he is Pakistani. I explained to him that I am not "mentally challenged", and that the jig was up. He actually admitted that about 40% of the people they call PAY THEM (!!!) and that they live QUITE well from it. Said that he wasn't concerened telling me this, because since they were overseas, there was "nothing I could do about it, but he would remove my name and numbers from his database if I promised to stop calling"! LOL

So a tip to get rid of them - Call them relentlessly and be a jerk about it! Ask them how they sleep at night, etc etc etc.... worked for me! LOL

I received a call from them this morning stating the same things to me, I told them that I didnt take out any loan and I dont understand what they are talking about, he treatened that my attorney or myself should call them back today, or I would be receiving a supeona on my job. I call my attorney and he called the number, it a SCAM...these people should be arrested and put away for a long time, messing with people like that. I know what to tell them the next time they call. They are some so called underground Indian scammers.....sick people..

I got a call from this number today, claiming my wife owed money for a payday loan and she was going to get arrested. We've been getting these calls from different numbers for the last 2 weeks so I knew it was a scam. Told the guy that I had a girlfriend on the side and the wife going to jail would really help me out with that and asked him if he could time her arrest for the weekend so I could take my girlfriend out..lol
He called me an ashole and hung up..lmao.. man that was fun

I have gotten several phone calls from this company and just tried to ask for proof of the bill and was told I could take that to court and that they had all my information . I called back to ask how they had all my information and told them that I found out they are a scam and was told to stop calling them then when I said will stop calling me he hung up. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. They will try and call you from other numbers as well. Then they leave messages. I have talked to an attorney and they can not do anything that they tell they can do.  If they keep calling I was told to save messages and record the phone calls you have with them and you can take them to court. The attorney I talked to said there is a way to find who this is if it gets to point where you have to take them to court.

I knew this was a scam from the start and had some fun with them.  I talked to John Young who told me they were with a law firm Edwards & Johnson or something like that and they were going to press charges if a loan wasn't paid immediately.  When I asked what loan they told me they could not say until it was paid.  I said to go ahead and press charges, I don't care.  He started to get aggressive telling me I better pay the money or show up in court in California tomorrow to dispute the charges.  I told him I was flying out tonight to see my cousin in California and to give me the address, I'd be happy to show up at court to clear this up.  Of course he "didn't have the address" but that we should "just settle the matter by paying the debt".  When I told him to f*ck himself he got mad and told me I would be going to jail.  I told him it would be great to go back to jail and I would maybe be in a cell with his father he got really mad.  I calmed him down and told him I could pay him but it would have to come from my change jar since that was the only money I had saved. When I told him to give me his address so I could send 400 rolls of pennies at 50 cents each he hung up.  Foreigners are so funnny.  Dooshbags.

Got the same story as a lot of people.  Really set me off thinking I was about to be sued.  Almost gave in but did a bit of research and postponed everything but "working with them to resolve the issue".  I got home from work (where they were also calling me) and contacted my local police department where I filed a harassment complaint.  Also followed up with the  Federal Trade Commission (which deals with consumer fraud and identity theft) at 877-438-4338 and will follow up tomorrow with the California Attorney General at 800-952-5225. These people pissed me off and I really want to see them caught!

I received a call from this number today. It appears to be a scam.  Said they were Customer Affairs affiliated with some federal regulations

209-622-4598 Claimed to be a representative from a law firm stating I did not pay back a payday loan. He stated I needed to pay $386 dollars or the law firm would press charges and I would be arrested. They could not give me a case number nor provide paperwork until AFTER I sent the money. I spoke with someone by the name of Robert Glad and Scott Bell who both had VERY heavy indian accents. When they call my cell it registers as 0000 but when they leave a message they leave the regular phone number.

They gave me the information to send a money gram and supposedly the attorneys name. Well I looked up the supposed attorneys name and the person with that name is not an attorney, but a stay at home mom. I actually called up this person to inform her that these people are using her name so that she can protect her identity and her family. The name they gave me was Coleen Youngvall in Spring Lake, North Carolina. She had no idea any of this was going on and was glad I contacted her.

It is just very sad and scary how these people are getting our information no matter how careful we are about not letting it leak online.

THIS IS A SCAM. Scammers are using bought/hacked loan application data to extort payments for fictitious debts from victims and victims' families and friends.
The FBI warns about payday loan extortion scams here http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/paydayloanscam_120710
The BBB has issued several alerts on this scam, just google "bbb.org alert phony debt collector"

I received the same call as well, i was told his name was Mark Brown (paralegal) and attorney was John Walters both had arabic accents...and informed me that if i did not make arrangements i would have to be in CA court tomorrow ...and he never informed what part of california .  he claims that the lawsuit was coming from Cashadvance.com ..which he claims to have 100 different names under this company. I have never used this company because i did not like there terms.  He told me to be in court and hung up on me.  I am still confused

I have been getting calls all the time from this same number saying that I have taken a payday loan and now they are charging me with fraud and all other kinds of serious crimes instead of me paying the loan. They have all kind of personal information on me and they are always of India accent and I can hear others in the back ground. They are rude and are really upsetting me. How do I stop them calling?

I received the same phone call at my job telling me the same information.  I had no clue what he was talking about.  Glad I didnt give in to this scam.

A guy who goes with a name mr. Phillips called and left messages on my cell and work number. Left this number 209-563-4218 I called the number and was able to speak to someone. I was threatened that the summons will be delivered to my office tomorrow for my court hearing this Monday in Los Angeles, CA. i told the guy to stopped this because I already reported them to the police and he didn't even panicked and infact tried to scared me more to not forget to appear in court this Monday. What a scam. I laugh and hang up at him.

This guy called me on Monday saying he was a lawyer and I or my lawyer need to call him back asap seeing how I don?t have a lawyer I called him. He informed me that I had a court date the next day in Sacramento ca. and, if I did not show up there would be a warrant for my arrest served to my work place. I told the guy that I lived 3000m away and no way I could get there then I asked what this was all about he told me that I had applied for a loan of $350.00 online and had not paid on it and wanted to know what my intention was toward this. When I asked him what he meant he told me I could settle out court if I paid have up front to show my good intentions, which would have been $400.00 because with late fees and everything else. It was $786.68 and then I could pay the rest on Friday, I told him I didn?t have the money and I was sure I could prove I didn?t receive any money, he told me I would have to bring the proof to court knowing full well I was unable to because of where I live. Again he told me to pay the $400.00 and again I told him I didn?t have it so he said hang on a sec, In addition, acted as he was talking to someone so while I was waiting I told my dad what was going on were the person could hear me and proceeded to say. I was turning it over to a lawyer and to the sheriff?s department when I did this he never can back on the line and so far that is the last I have heard from him

Got a call today 3/23/11 stating that I have charges against me.  I was told to call a phone number in CA.  After looking up the number I knew that these people from India are a scam.  They have already gotten money from me and I had to close my bank account because of them.  I don't know how they got any info on me and it seems that no one can tell me that.  My cell phone company says that cell numbers are not published.  Make sure you know that these people are the lowest of the low doing this to us.  Don't let them keep doing this.
