I received the same e-mail saying the same thing.  I told him that is will get sued for slandering my name and saying that I have taken some money from them.

Got these emails starting two months ago. All the same info, one email said he attached the court affidavit but there was no attachment. He just gave a court date of Feb. 5, 2014, no town or State,  DUH. I sent back an email stating I was in court but you were not, he then sent an email back within hours saying USA CASH's lawyer and recover agent were in the courthouse in Bradenton, FLA. I replied WRONG!!! I then sent him a list of all of these complaints where he used the same amounts of $$ owed and the same threats if  I don't pay him. He was told that I have an attorney and if he contacts me again I will Sue him and USA cash. Have not heard from him in days. attorney and if he contacts me again

I received a mail from cashloans@cash-usa.us.com sended by BLAKE GRIFFIN / Cash USA, he has all my information:

Name :  
Social Security Number :
Outstanding Debt: $686.00(including late payment charges)
Penalty in the court: $8526.35
Attorney and court fees: $1500+

They want me to make the payment all together, after some mails he accepted only 100 per month and only for the outstanding debt, but he wanted to received the payment via Green Dot Money Pak. Scratch the card from back & email us the Green Dot Money Pak 14 digit number, which sounds me very strange.

same massage said im going to court!! same amount.. wants a moneybpak for payment

Got this same message. Sent him one back, let me see what information he comes back with.

Spread the word on all your social networks you use, contact your local news station, and send emails to everyone on your contact list.  I have done all those since I received my email from them.

I know of no debt collector that would send you an email in the first place.   All debt collectors I know of usually call or send you a letter through Postal Mail not email.....and all collection agencies will have their address along with phone numbers on the letter.  This email from CASH USA did not even have an address.  When asked for an address and to request documentation of said debt to be sent, I was informed that it was against their policy to release that information.  Also,I was asked if I had scanning available for a agreement of payment document to be sent by email to me, signed and scan said document and email signed doc back to them...really??? what agency does that???? Only a scammer does that!!!

yes, big time scam.  And I am sure that there has been quite a number of victims who been taken in by these thieves.  I was almost one myself if that little voice inside me kept talking to me to check on the internet.  Lucky I listened to that voice and did some checking.....ended up cancelling my card and having a new one issued.  Now I am getting emails from them that they can't process the payment.  I am just waiting for the phone call from them so I can inform them that I am on to them....

You can get all kinds of personal information on the internet for a small fee.  I've seen where for just as low as $10 you can get names, addresses, phone #, email and SSN.  For the right price, you can know everything about someone from their birth to present.  Real scary that anyone can get that kind of information off the internet.  I don't think that that kind of information should be available to anyone...

Yeah I thought so too.  How dumb do they think we are that we wouldn't check to see if they were a scam.  They weren't even bright enough to at least change figures...didn't think we would see that did they...

I haven dealtnwith this same dirt bag the past few days. Didn't get my money and I hope he didn't get anyone else's either. I don't understand how he can continue to do this? I contacted my local police department and they told me there's nothing they can do! This man needs to be stopped!

Received email same amount as everyone   How can we get this guy for his scam?   I'm in if anyone else is. Intend to call cash met USA andante them aware of this.  I hope and pray mo one is falling for this.   Had my social security number. No one ever posts the whole thing plan on changing it

I received an email stating that I owed $686.00 AND if I did not pay the IRS would be notified putting my SSN on hold, threatening to notify AND getting me fired from my job and black balled from working again.  Any disability or other government checks will also be put on hold!!  Unbelievable!  I pray no one who gets something like this wil know it is a fraud and not comply to their threats!

I got the same email.  I work in law enforcement and it's definately a scam...it's interesting everybody owes the exact same thing!

I just received the same email.....I also just finished talking with the CFPB....it's a scam!

I got the same message this morning, exact amount and everything. The funny thing is, I was offered through the same exact company about a month or two back a loan for $5,000.

Got the same message this morning.

i just received the same email. said his name is Blake Griffin. we never took a loan out. he also had my husbands social security number. I read all of your replies to this and Blake is asking for the same amount of money. wish they would go away.

I received the exact same email....  I knew it.   I have never heard of cash USA.   The guy was foreign.   Thanks alot!

I got the same email folks - same amount of money owed - same amount of attorney fees, etc.   THIS IS A TOTAL TELEMARKET/EMAIL SCAMMING EFFORT - DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS PERSON WHO CALLS HIMSELF BLAKE GRIFFIN - IT'S NOT HIS REAL NAME - THIS PHONE NUMBER IS FROM STATE OF FLORIDA.  IT IS A CELL PHONE.  THIS "BLAKE GRIFFIN"  THREATENS PEOPLE'S JOBS, CREDIT RATINGS, THREATENS TO TAKE THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY, ETC.  THE FLORIDA STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE IS AWARE OF THIS PERSON.  THERE IS ALSO A FOREIGN SOUNDING GUY WITH THE LAST NAME OF JOHNSON AND A WOMAN WHO CALLS HERSELF DIANE GRIFFIN OR LISA GRAHAM - THEY WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO A FEDERAL JUDGE ON THEIR SCAMMING EFFORTS. THEY ARE TRYING TO OBTAIN MONIES AND PROPERTIES BY FALSE PRETENSES WHICH IS A FELONY - THEY WILL PAY - AGAIN, DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THESE PEOPLE-

I just got the same email a couple of days ago. It seems that these type of emails come around certain times of the years when they know that people will have money. So glad I read these posts. Does anyone get the phone calls as well?

i just got the same email, this people need to sto

Same email and I was a bit worried until I talked to him he has an accent and said he will see me in court I asked him where is court going to be taking place he said florida and I will come get you to make sure you're there and I better have the money for someone who has all of our information he has no idea where we live cause its not florida. I called the the actual company and they sent me some paperwork to fill out through an email. They have scams like this all the time. He's claiming to be part of cashnet usa of course contact the government as well. But REALLY you could have picked a better name and the time you choose to send these emails don't you know we are a sports country and thats is not a common name

I too got the same email and I had never heard of this company and I know I don't owe any money and it seems we all got the same letter from this Blake Griffin, and I also caught the bit in the letter about the different incomes, that was when I knew it was a scam.

Haven"t been on here in months !!!! checked  email and got the same message from Blake Griffin.  Never dealt with any place Cash Usa.   He had my social and threated to have me fired from my job !!!!

Same thing as you guys. I balance my books with Quickbooks and I have no record of this transaction.

just returned from Thanksgiving day off and had the same email from "Blake Griffin" stating he was w/Cash USA a parent company of more than 400 cash websites .  Said outstanding debt was $686 (including late payment charges) penalty in the court $8526.35 and attorney and court fees $1500+.  good luck on trying to collect...this is a total SCAM...first off there are certain incomes than cannot be garnished and the IRS is not going to put your SS# on hold.  also they cannot inform your employer about any of this.....TOTAL SCAM

Just got the exact same email.  Sent them a reply that they had the wrong ss# and sending this to the authorities as a scam

Got the same message about half hour ago,. Same amount $$ shown in different messages, Gave a copy to my personal attorney, It has to be an scam. Beware they looking for $$ don't give them any information.

First thing, how does anyone know the mystery emails come from "Cash USA", which I would guess to be a payday lender? An email header is not hard to fabricate. My guess would be the source is a slimy third party debt collector, or a hustler posing as such an agency. The FTC regards them the same when  you're accused of owing some old account.

Debt collection performed legally in North America must adhere to a process in which you are given certain disclosures and a chance to dispute the debt claim. An illegal collector jumps you like a street mugger and makes idle threats, trying to distract you from the fact that you have rights. Which kind do you think this thread is describing?
