Hi find out what all of you have in common . Cell phone service , Internet, cable ect. They are getting the info somewhere. I believe it may be AT&T . Anyone else have phone ,cable, Internet from AT&T ?

I get the same message telling me to call back as soon as i can or else and that he from the leagaln dept

receive threatning call at work and home.  scam calls
blew whistle in there ear.

now another man from another call. i will keep whistle near phone.

callers are from india decent.

this is what happens when we enter private info online. dumb

tell everyone you come in contact with about not putting your private in online. Just deal with your bank.

Don't give them info. Act as if your scared keep them on the line as long as possible. That way they can't call the next person and it costs them money.  I like to tell them about my Aunt in Russia who has a billion dollars and if they send me 100 they can split the money when she gets here. Just have fun with them. Make him repeat himself over and over then ask the same question. It's sort of like Angry Birds. Lol

These people call my number continuously. Half the time they dont leave a message but have started and they are saying that they are a legal department. I called them back asking a Legal dept from what company and he started asking for info on me. He said he was from a cash advance company and when i told him i never applied for an advance he started asking for my info again!!! SORRY NOT THAT STUPID BUDDY!!! These people have also contacted my mother numerous times saying they needed me to contact them and when she told them they had the wrong number they started cussing her out. These people are ridiculous!!  The number is 877-228-2338. They need to leave me and my family alone!!

I received a call from this number asking if they were speaking with someone named "Theron."  When I said the caller had the wrong number, he replied, "No. This is the correct number. You are Theron."  I responded that I am not, in fact, that person, and this is a new number.  The caller then told me, "You are lying with me." I assumed he meant, "lying to me," so I berated him for his rude manners until he apologized. I hung up and tried to call again.  I asked the person who answered what the name of his company was, and he said, "Legal Department" and hung up.  I called again.  This time, I went straight to a voice mail and left a message explaining why they will not be calling me again...
Rude, rude, rude.  How can anyone demean themselves to make rude harrassing phone calls for pay?

They have called my job 8 times just today! The same indian guy asking me to fax over a letter and a copy of my Driver License with a credit card or bank card number. I just told them that i filed with the BBB and the police department and the my company has filed charges as well considering i work at a hospital.  I hope that gets them to stop calling.

Thank God i looked up the phone number and did not send them any information.

Just got the same phone number and calls telling me they were pursuing legal actions and they would harrass me at my job if i didnt send them money they would have the police come to my job and arrest me.

TELEPHONE COLLECTION SCAM
Updated 8/2010

Receiving harassing telephone collection calls threatening Police or legal action?
Foreign sounding callers representing themselves as affiliated w/collection, law or government organizations collecting on a long past due payday loan?
Not aware of owing any debt & they won?t prove it?
Our office in Florence, Kentucky has received inquiries from confused out of state callers (who have never done business with us, who have been receiving collection calls from an organization claiming to be working for us or a company whose name includes the words U.S. Cash or something similar. They mistakenly or fraudulently allege a balance is owed us, and apparently are engaging in illegal collection practices (as allowed under FDCPA; please Google ?Fair Debt Collection Practices Act? for more info). Callers report they typically have foreign accents while using tactics such as implying affiliation with legal or government authorities (use words like: Legal Dept., Federal Investigative Authority, Financial Infraction Dept., Cooper Law Firm). They refuse to provide any proof of the underlying debt, and finally demand outrageous payments be made to New York or Florida addresses to avoid legal or police action.

Our legitimate brick-n-mortar payday loan company, doing business face to face only as U.$. Cash Advance here in Florence, Kentucky (a suburb of Cincinnati, OH) does not do business with residents of other states (certain qualified Cincinnati and SE Indiana residents excepted). Nor have we never done loans online or via the telephone. Therefore, no out of state accounts have been placed with any collection outfit by us.

In rare situations, for our local customers whom we serve, we do find it necessary to employ a collection agency or attorney to enforce contractual agreements with our debtors. For the last several years we have only placed accounts with drs Bonded Collection Systems, a collection agency or Mason, Schilling & Mason, a legitimate collection law firm ? both located in the Greater Cincinnati area.

Please be advised however, that there are other loan providers online or those who do business via the telephone (fax) with names sounding much like ours. Authorities have apparently received similar complaints of outrageous third party collection efforts regarding them. There are also online brokers who buy listing priorities for key words from internet search engines so that they can grab searches intended for legitimate loan companies so that they then can attempt to sell the lead. Some of these outfits are respectful & legitimate organizations and some are not. We have searched for our name and found fully functioning websites with our name & location listed along with 20 ? 30 other local providers. They do not have permission to do this with us and the KY Attorney General?s office has tracked one such website?s registrant to be domiciled in Russia, while operating from servers located in Shanghai. So?.buyer beware ? always know who your giving information too:

CFCO Financial, Inc. (the corporation who operates the 1 U.$. Cash Advance store in Florence, KY) has filed a victim?s complaint regarding this potential collections scam and the misuse of our company?s good name with the following authorities:

The Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions;
The Kentucky Attorney General?s Office Division of Consumer Protection;
The Greater Cincinnati Chapter of the Better Business Bureau; and
The Federal Trade Commission.
If you are the recipient of harassing collection calls on a debt you do not know about, it is recommended that you too file a complaint against this third party collection organization with your local authorities, your State?s Attorney General?s Office, and the Federal Trade Commission. If your complaint involves internet phishing or other inappropriate online activities the FBI recommends filing an online abuse complaint via their tracking system at: https://complaint.ic3.gov/ctf.aspx These agencies will need the name, address and phone number of the person or collection organization which is attempting to enforce the fraudulent debt from you. The FTC?s number is (877) 382-4357.

Though we regret these fraudulent collection efforts have involved our company name, we can assure you that CFCO Financial, Inc. dba U.$. Cash Advance in Florence, Kentucky is not involved in anyway.

Calls my home number with a heavy accent, has my personal info. Fishing scam I think.
Said he was a Officer and I am in violation. I asked violation of what? He said I took out a $7900 loan from US Cash Advance (Of course I did not). I told him I have no loan or any dealings with that company. He then transferred my call to a Superviser, another thick accent and even more hostile.
I repeated I never had a loan and to put me on their do not call list. He got irate and said he was garnishing my wages and I should get a lawyer.

If they call again I will repeat they should put me on their do not call list.

Received a call from these people, did not supply names, said they were officers and I was in violation for not paying back a loan. Had my personal information and said I took out a loan from US Cash Advance for $7900. I told them they are mistaken, I have never had a loan with that company. He then transferred to his supervisor, same heavy accent and very hostile. I told them I have never had a loan. He advised me to get a lawyer and they would garnish my pay and contact my employer.
Only the one call so far but it pissed me off.

I have been having the same problem, about 10 months ago they would call me from a 282 number. I told them i called my bank and there was never such a transaction. Now today these people just called me saying they were going to charge me with check fraud and so on.... Had my social! So i looked up this number on google and all of these comments that were exactly the same came up. Something needs to be done about this!

telling me there is a lawsuit in  progress  asking me fax personal info  to them

I want these calls to stop. Messing with my home and business life.

These people call often for an employee of mine who I continually tell them NEVER works in the office and is always out in the field. The caller has a strong Indian accent but states his name is "Nick Addison" and that he is calling from BCI - the "Bureau of Crime Investigation". Wow! The scare tactics that people come up with nowadays. He states it is a very important legal matter - and asks for my employee's personal contact numbers - which I refuse every single time he calls. Annoying.

this person called my home, heavy indian accent could not understand a word he was saying other than my son's name; he was from a legal department and to call back before a certain time.  then said god bless you

I just had the same message left on my home phone...I could not understand a word he was saying other that lawsuit and attorney and he had my son's name too.  I just tried to call back but just went to a voicemail system

I have been getting these calls, a matter of fact he just threatened my job. I laughed. and told him to bring it on! he hung up, called right back again.  My advice for smart phone users is downloading the app Privacy Star. It allows you to block numbers a group of numbers even texts ect. IF your interested Check out there website www.privacystar.com. Best thing I ever found on my android.

I have paid money to an attorney and nothing happened. Called the FTC and nothing happend. Called local police and they are trying to help. It does make for a strsseful time though.

Hi Aston Martin. Smae thing here....called my cell on my lunch and then called my office.........37 times in one afternooon!!!! Exact same verbage they used with you but yes, scary!!!

Crazy people........after the fortieth call to me they started calling filthy names and horrible statements. One day called my office 37 times in less than 15 minutes to try and block business calls from coming through.

Just got a call from them as well. I called them back in the past, only to get a messsage saying that "the magic jack customer you are calling is not available." Finally when I got someone, I told them I wadn't the person they were looking for, even though I was. Told them to remove my number before I reported thier scam company, which he said he would, but now they are calling me again. During that one call, they gave out my full ssn, place of employment and my home address, even though I had told them I wasn't who they were looking for.

Thiese folks just called me at work and on my cell saying the"legal depatment" was about to file on me but that I could do a settlement. I asked them to send any information to my address in writing. They tried to get loud and harass and I told them that my lawyer would take a look at it as soon as they send it to me. I then hung up. When I tried to call them back the phone hangs up.

I keep getting a phoe call from these a***oles and they threatened me with the police, and said that i needed to pay by one oclock or they would send the police to my job and have me arrested. They can not do that.why is cash advance allowing these people to do this, and how do we stop them?

i got a call some one left a message i dont know who so i called them back and the guy call me a piece of s*** and he nwell find me and f*** me up and wont tell me who they are

i received a call from this number at work saying i took out a payday loan on a closed account and they were going to press charges against me for check fraud.  When pressed for info in the loan since i had no recall of this transaction they said pay $601.00 and then they would fax me the info.  The guys name was calvin baker and then i called back and talked to an adam.  Then wanted to talk to my boss and said they are contacting the sheriffs department.  I told i was also contacting the sheriffs department  Hopefully they wont call back.

mr. austin white keeps call my home, and my job scam for money.
watch out.
contact police

I called them back and pretended that I was a lawyer and I was heading to there location with the police the hung up repeatedly. Stupid f****rs, why or how would a middle eastern have a full blown american name like  Mark Henderson. This a** couldnt even speak clearly!!!

Recieved call from a guy with heavy middle easter accent, saying that i need to call my lawyer and that are going file charges against me because I'm using some elses social, and it was  my own social when he gave me the last 4 #'s he knew my previous employer and said that he was going to garnish my wages....I asked for his fax # and company name and he hung up. I called back 3 time and he kept on hanging up on me,
