Get a call from supposidly a officer name John Williams for a personal loan of 3000 dollars and he basically gets your information and god know next what his intentions are. I'm in process of calling all my institutions and making changes due to this fradulent offiicer who was trying to get me to go to money gram or western union for more ridiculous directions.

  • Jan 30, 2018

I was told I was approved for a $5000 loan, but they had to verify my banking information by sending a deposit which once I received was supposed to return to them.

My bank sent me a security alert saying the e check was a fraud.

I had to close my account.

Advance America has sent me three emails threatening me with legal action to collect on payday loans that they state I allegedly took out. I've never taken out a payday loan from Advance America and therefore have never received funds. In each of the emails, a different amount is given.

This company contacted me by email, phone, and text stating that I had been approved for a loan from $3000 to $ 10000.

I notified the company and they said to avoid scams etc. they would do a mobile deposit to my account because I was not a previous customer with payment history.

They signed my name on a fake IRS check; I learned this late in the day when I had already sent funds back to them to finalize the final loan.

They said I didn't have to pay anything for the loan then once I sent them my paperwork back they said I had all types of fees to pay .

  • Oct 3, 2016

I was contacted on my Cell phone regarding a 2000.00 loan they told me i qualified for it .I believe his name was John.He told me it was 110.00 fee to get it .i got the cash and he told me i needed to get an I tunes gift card for that amount so i did,After that he told me that i needed to get another gift card for 275.00 for a fee from the government so i knew the loan was real so I did.Then they told me I had to get one for 395.00 because they were unable to wire the money into my account so i did at that time they were to give me a reference number so i could pick my money up ,of course there was something else i had to pay state taxes ontje money of 230.00 ,so again iid what they asked.They said that was all i had to do and i would get the number for my money. i waited again for 30 minutes so they could verify all the imformation.At last John came back on the phone I told him I wanted all my money back and I no longer wanted this loan and if I dint get it I was going to the Police,He said he would get the manager for me,peter came on the phone and told me I had to listen to him and I couldnt interrupt him I said ok,He then told me that I owed back taxes through the IRS and i couldnt get the money unless I paid it so i Asked how much he told me 919.00 i told him he was lying because I never recieved a letter,He then said they contacted me in July and they never recieved a reply.I told him i was going to contact the Irs myself .He was mad I told him I dont have anymore money period,He told me to give 450.00 on saturday and 450.00 on Monday he told me if I didnt omply with him he was going to seize my Bank acount and then I would be arrested I had to say ok just to get off the phone,Yesterday was Saturday and they called 3 times i didnt answer them at all.I called the IRS myself on Friday and they told me I didnt owe them any money.So now I have to change my Bank account so they cant get in it.thats it so far. I feel so stupid but I needed the money now I know better.

  • Oct 1, 2016

This so called company tried to rip me off for $8000. They wanted to send me a deposit to my account so that I could send them the money back. They tried to say they were transferring me to different people by putting me on hold, but the same person came back with same Foreign accent. They will try to convince you that they have lots of customer, but they don't. And yes I almost feel for their game until they told me about them sending me money to return to them. I gave them my checking and debit card information, so I'm not sure if they are going to use it, I them told them I was not interested in their scam and they ended the call.

  • Sep 29, 2016

I am laid off and in the process of filing for disability. I was shopping for loans and applied every where. I received phone calls and then an email from America Cash Advance USA saying I could get a peer to peer loan of $15,000 at 10% interest. I would have monthly payments of $300.00 for a 55 month term.

“Sebastian Taylor” went on saying that all I had to do was put $415 on an iTunes gift card or send it Moneygram to “Scott Bell”. This money “Sebastian” said was for “FDIC insurance and was refundable”.

I spend almost hours on the phone throughout this whole process. Even speaking with “Sebastian’s ‘supervisor Edward’”. I was then told that I gave the wrong routing number with my checking number. They went onto tell me they will make a deposit $1,176 into my account via US government & for me to send it back to them for the loan to go through. No problem, right? Except the check from the US government is a fake per Wells Fargo (my bank).

I call back and they tell me to wait until Friday and it will be resolved. Friday has come and gone. I am out: $426.50 (Moneygram - Loan “insurance”; $1,176 for the fake US Treasury check & OVER $300 in fees I incurred because of the aforementioned.

At this point I'm livid. I feel like a moron and now my debt is even bigger. I just want my $1,906 back ASAP and for these people to be SHUT DOWN so they can't hurt anyone else!

I was notified by email that I got approved for up $10000. I was emailed Blank loan documents to sign. (My name was on the documents). Well, I proceeded to call the number given instead and was told I could get the loan and my payments for 5000. would be 250.00 a month. I told the person (Was not the same person I got the email from) that i could not do 250.00 so I would not take the loan. The person asked what could I afford and I stated 150.00 and he said that would be fine. He proceed to tell me that everything looked good and needed to verify my bank account. Before the account got verified I needed to go to CVS or Walgreens and buy an Itunes card and load my first months payment on it (150.00) which i do. I begged the guy to please not rip me off, cause this was the third time I attempted this (yes, I am stupid, embarressed and desperate for a loan). The guy proceeded to tell me that they were ligitimate company and they do not do that to people. I continued to plead with the guy to not rip me off. I told him I was too trusting and I could not afford to lose even 150 dollars. He assured me several times over that I would get the loan deposited in 45 minutes after giving him the activation numbers on the itunes card. After about 45 minutes I called and he answered and said that he needed to transfer me to the Finance manager for additional information. After brief pause the finance manager (sounded like the same guy) and said that because my checking account reflected in the negative (which it was not) that I had to pay an additional 240 dollars. I proceeded to scream at the guy and tell him that I was going to report him. He said they were with the BBB and I said good that I was going to call the BBB and let them know that Cash Advance was a big rip off and disconnected the phone.

  • Aug 17, 2016

This Comapny sent a text msg to my phone stating that i have been approved for a loan. Then they gave me Instructions to pick up my loan from money gram at the nearest walmart. Then i sent fifty dollars through itunes gift card to them and then they told that the reference number for the loan was acctivated. I filled out the money gram paper work to get the loan but the reference njmber they gave me was invalid . I called them back and told them the situation but they said i had to send more money in order to recieve the loan. I refused and ask for a refund of the fifty dollars but they said they were unable to do so for many reason . Now im out fifty dollars.

This company Advance America Cash Advance 360-967-5058 (Rebecca) contacted me for loan purposes and stated to verify I needed to purchase a iTune card for $205 and after that had me call Mark Wilson of Net Bank/Bafi Federal Bank? 619-719-5544 to get the loan and Mark said i needed $300 more, I realized this was/is a Scam. I would like to try to get this money back They stated they would keep my application on file till I get the $300 and they would direct deposit the loan in my Bank account.

  • Oct 9, 2015

I called and everything seemed legite and I was told to buy a $100 money transfer to show I can pay the loan monthly payments. I did this and was promised I would have a check overnights to me. Never reviewed check and can't get my money back. I am a struggling single mom and can't afford to lose money. Please be aware of this company coming from anywhere.

I am a single mom struggling and received an email from this company with loan documents attached. I called to verify this loan of $7000 that would greatly help my family with very low monthly payment. I was put through a process and at least knew better than to give my bank account information but was told I needed to buy a money wire transfer of $100 to show that I can make the monthly payments. I did this and now have lost precious money that could have paid for groceries. Now I can't get my money back and I'm very upset because of my obvious stupidity. Please beware of any company especially this one offering any kind of loans or cash advances.

I applied for a loan online on 9/9/2015 at this time I was approved for 4000.00 and told to go to Western Union to make my 1st payment of 220.00 as a good faith committment. I made the western union payment payable to Jacob Berry and was advised that my 4220.00 payment would arrive in my checking account the following day. Via eamil I received the confirmation for the loan in the amount of 4400.00.

Ever since this initial contact there has been one problem after another. I was told to Western Union 690.00 ..then 299.00 in addition to 364.74..all of this totaling approx 1573.79. I made all these payments each time being told it was the last problem to be fixed.

Now I am being told yet again if I wire them 600.00 more the loan will be finalized.

I am at a loss I do believe this to be fraud, I am at my witts end. Someone please help me.

This account was created to tell my story ..My name Is Christa Gwen Gartenmayer Wharton.

Jerry Visco Created this account because I am so shook I cant even type..

I did not know if this was of importance or not.

Then, she explained the the company "have" over 14 evidences proving funds were depisited into an undisclosed bank acct, again, not verifying her identity, my identity or the very proif of her figures. The email was poorly written, various grammatical errors and her communications were written in a mass email fashion. The wrong person getting this email clukd be scammed for money, fortunately I wrote back cease and desist, and I refused disclosure of any information until she formally verifed me, who she was, and the true nature of her so called "legal case"......when does it end?
