RECEIVED A CALL FROM A MAN WITH INDIAN ACCENT,STATING I WAS
APPROVED FOR A LOAN.   I HAVE NOT APPLIED FOR LOANS FROM ANY
COMPANY.  THE COMPANY NAME GIVEN WAS FIRST FINANCIAL.

I have been getting calls for the last two days from this number and and 2 other numbers from the 917-563-4627 and 917-717-5122.  They use different names.  First Financial, Cash USA, Cash First.  They all say that I applied for a loan online and to send a fee to get it.  Since I did not apply for any loans, I told them so.  They still call.  So I started blocking the number.  They use a different number, so I have to block the next one.  It's only been 2 days and I have received about 7 calls.  I think the call blocking is helping, but I am going to run out of the amount of numbers that I can block.

i fell into this its a scam they claimed to be a loan company and that i was approved..
i contacted the attorney generals office they are looking into it

someone name Mitchelle called me too i was dum and sent 150.00

Well it is now 8/22/2013 and they are still running the same scam. I told them I did not have the deposit they are asking for, and she hurried off the phone. If it sounds too good to be true - it usually is!

Got a call today from 415-295-5865 saying i got approved for a loan.. Didn't apply for a loan nor do I want one. I contacted my local general dept to report. Read a lot on this number and scams !! Don't fall for it! I really hope this fake loan bank or whatever they call themselves get caught!

Some one called and left a voice message for a loan approval. did not call back. I know they are spammers.

Have been receiving calls daily between 20-35 & I finally answered. They said I owed $ and the police would be at my door. I threatened him back & told him I would file a report with the police department & the FBI since he has the Indian accent. He hung up , I called back and cursed him out more and haven't received any calls in a week

I just got scammed for $ 349.00  Where can I call to do the same .

Saying I was approved for a loan so I'm so happy I looked up the number it was a Indian malehe left me a voice mail but did not call back I do hope he gets arrested soon

Glad I checked here.  These guys have been calling me for the past couple days...same thing..."Hello sir...my name is Billy (pronounced bul-lee) and..."

Same thing..."do you have any outstanding current payday or advance..."

I hung up

This person with an Indian accent repeatedly calls my home number looking for someone who doesn't reside at my address. He called ten times in one day. I'm disabled, and it's hard for me to get to the phone, and when I do, it's him! He keeps wanting this certain person to call back because he's approved for a loan...obvious scam. I just moved two months ago, and got this new number, only to have this guy call everyday 7-10 times a day for a person who doesn't even live here. He needs to be stopped before legal action is taken. I see that some of you are getting even more phone calls than me, and I thought 10 was alot.

AWESOME SO GLAD TO HEAR HE UNDER INVESTIGATION HE STILL CALLS ME ABOUT 50 TIMES A DAY I HAVE TOLD HIM THAT I NO LONGER HAVE NUMBER BUT HE KKEPS CALLING FROM RANDOM NUMBERS, UUUGH HOW DO U MAKE THEM STOP

How do I fight this s***?!

Ben Williams called my phone this morning and said that I was approved for a loan 1000$-5000$, he asked how did I want the loan disbursed.. He asked a western union or bank eft.. I told his bi*** a** western union because he was not about to get my acct number.. He then said that I will need to send 350$ and it will be refunded back to me.. I'm thinking you full of s***.. I knew he was when I first called back and he was like are u still looking for a loan or not, otherwise we will cancel your application also, he was like the interest on a 3000$ loan would be 300$ and I was like that's it.. So I knew his Indian, organic a** was a scanner.. I told him to just take the fee off of the loan and wire me the balance.. He said no that's not possible, I said why not.. He said because people scam on the internet and we have to be sure its you because otherwise we can't get our money back.. He asked was I able to pay 274/mon.. I told him well ita not going to happen in not sending you any money because that's not how it works. He became aggravated and hung up. His jacked up accent speaking a**.. I'm from the south, I recognize game on his weak a**.. FYI... Don't fool with that company, they didn't even ask for paperwork such as ID, employment verification or anything... They really need to be stop. I told him that I was gone send the police he said he didn't care.. I don't think they're even using real names.. #bumbitches

same thing here, started yesterday
45 calls yesterday, 25 so far today
sick of it

scams........scams.......scammmmmmmmmmm  BEN WILLIAMS 415-323-0253 IS SCAMMING PEOPLE HE WILL GET YOU A LOAN FOR A WIRE TRANSFER FEE SAN FRANSCIO POLICE ALREADY INVOLVED.

Quick facts folks. Anytime you are asked to pay an advance fee for a loan, gift, prize, lottery, etc. It is a fake. 100% every time. If the method of YOUR fee is Western Union, GreenDot, MoneyGram, or any form of wire transfer. It is a scam. NO real business uses these forms of payment. None. They are the choice of criminals because they are CASH, untraceable cash. An advance fee for a loan in the US is illegal. A Payday loan is also illegal in many States. So if you go for one on the internet, and they are NOT in the US, and things go wrong - Well, you get the picture.

David,
How do you report these people because they got me for $200. All I am trying to do is see my son in SC so I got desperate and started looking on the internet. Your post is exactly what I went through. Please help, thanks

Yes I too fell for his scam. Ben Williams 1-415-323-0253 out of San Francisco told me that the police were going to break down my door and arrest me if I did not pay him 1100.00. We need to stop this guy anyway possible.

I received a call from this number and he said that his name was Ben Williams, and that I was approved for a loan for $1000. Since I had been searching for a loan this was great news and without doing any research on the company I did what he told me to which was sent him $200 for what he was calling a processing fee to send me my money. At this point he told me it would take him about 2 hours and he would get back in touch with me. I had to call him back and he said that I would have to pay an additional $366 for some mess about an FDIC Insurance. I thought to myself that a total of $566 for a 1000 loan, I was still going to come out good because he said he would reimburse the 200 that I had previously sent. Luckily I got a little weary when he was not answering my calls and I did some research and found out this was a scam. I contacted the police and filled a report. I also contacted the company that he was using to receive the money which was NetSpend and they put a hold on his account and froze all of his funds so he is not able to even use his money right now. You will be pleased to know that he is currently under investigation through the San Fransisco, California Police department because of my report. He will be in Jail before the end of the week. He will not be scamming people anymore.

rec'd a call from Sean Marsh (indian dialect) from "1st financial" informing me my application has been approved.  I had been searching for loans, so when I asked for a refresh of the details as I did not recall that particular bank, he passed me to "michael carter" (non american dialect) and informed me I was approved and based on what I
wanted to borrow, he'd quote me a rate and term.  catch was I had to pay upfront $150
bucks , but wouid get it back in the loan proceeds.  He then rattled off some FDIC legal
BS about requirements for this to be legit.   way too ez in my mind, so I started searching
the phone # and landed here.  BEWARE folks.

I too fell 4 this scam....I also googled this address and it's not a true business address to say the least. This fake company has no partnership with First Financial in any manner. I even had my lawyer call them. My next step is legal action hopefully. This number should be traceable.
