We have list received a letter with Canada post mark with a check enclosed for $ 4, 687.08 Stating this was a part payment for a pay out of $ 750, 000. Check had names of Worby, Groner, Edelman & Napoli Bern LLP. First Responders attorney Master Escrow Account. Check was made out to me with my address. Drawen on a bank Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas 280 Park Ave. New York NY. 10017. Really looks like the real thing. The letter attached was from APEX Funding Corp. Toronto Canada.
Winning Notification Funds Enclosed> Still looks good. reading down the page it states "if this check is cashed without proper notification and procedures, you will be held liable in the amount of the check and any total winnings will be declared void. Now I see this is a way to make me pay in real money $ 4, 678.08 to someone who will be named in my law suite. Reading more they say I must send payment to one of the receiving brokers for non resident Tax payment. it goes on giving me the amount of the Taxed. $2, 225.00 if the payment came Western Union and $2, 113.00 for the Money Gram. Someplace down the line I would have to pay over $ 2, 000. Watch OUT this all looks too real and they have gone to a lot of expanse to make this Scam look real. The letter is signed John Brigham Account Manager.

I just got a call from866-878-2551 stating I had taken a payday loan out for 1, 989.00. Sandra called left me a message and called back the 888 number above and spoke to a Nathan. They stated they were from the Department of criminal Investigation and I needed a lawyer. If I go to court they would have me pay 14, 000 in legal fees plus whatever he had stated. I have NEVER taken a pay loan out from the Internet. They could take the 1989.00 out of a checking account number I would provide them. Are you kicking me, no proof of papers, internet contract, nothing. How did they get all my information? The man and woman had the same accent as stated above making it difficult to understand. They said legal action would be taken and my employer would be notified. The man also stated they were from Brooklyn New York. I immediately started looking on the web-site and found this web-site. This is just so awful that someone can do this to another person. I feel sick.

I am a victim of these so-called "Financial Infarction Department" from US Cash Advance. I first received a message on my work answering machine on 3/13/2012 from a middle eastern sounding male stating his name as "Rob Miller" on his message, he states that I were to have my retained attorney, "off record" call him back or else all he could do was wish me luck as the events unfolded. He was very threatening. He left (323) 331-9189 as his call back number. My manager was quite worried by the content of the message which we have saved and why I was being taken to court. I consulted with a relative who is a lawyer & she would look into it. The next day, I received several more calls from the same number, but didn't answer because I wanted to hear from my relative. The same type of message was left on my mobile voice mail, only this time, the name of the person (who sounded exactly the same as "Rob Miller") was Curtis Jackson. He said he had my SSN #! He didn't leave any company name and sounded like he was reading what he was saying. Again, person sounded like he was of middle eastern decent. I then received several calls from (718) 618-9674. This time, the caller identifies himself as Erick Peterson calling from Financial Infarction Dept regarding a loan I took out with US CASH ADVANCE. I didn't recall taking out any loan from this company. This Erick Peterson sounded exactly like the other two callers!! This was the most bizarre calls I've ever had! I called the 718 number back & spoke with a Scott Wilson (Middle Eastern Accent). Right off the bat, he asks me for my retaining attorney''s name off record & their I.D. or something. I said before anything, I asked what company is he from. I don't know why they keep saying off record. He said I was to remain silent while he explains everything and I could ask questions after. He then began to state my name, SSN #, home address, DL #, DOB, AND my bank routing number!!! He said he was representing his client, US CASH ADVANCE whom I went on-line and took out a loan with!!! I was quite baffled, scared that he had all my personal info, and angry, and violated! I told him I didn't take out any loans with US Cash Advance. He said I took out $322.40 and I needed to pay $500 something that included interests and fees. If I didn't pay, I would have to pay over $5000 for court, lawyer, and loan fees! He asked me why I didn't pay them back & IO said I never took out any loan from them. He told me I had 3 counts or charges against me which was Theft, Fraud, and Felony!!! I was in such shock!!! I told him to give me my case #, which he gave me one and probably just made up. Then I asked him for the date of the cash advance and he put me on hold, came back and said, " first week of August last year." I asked, "first week of August 2011?!! You can't give me an exact date?" He repeated the same thing, "first week of August last year." I was very upset! I told him my lawyer would definitely be contacting them & I wanted copies of the signed documents of the loan I took out and all the other paperwork regarding this matter. He said he would mail them out to me in 5-10 days. I then hung up. I contacted a lawyer as well as the Walnut Creek Police Department to report these people. I am filing a report online with the police department so that they have a record of this situation since these people have all of my personal information. I have also contacted my bank to report it. I called the 718 number again the following day on 3/16/2012 because I received another missed call from them. By the way, they blew up my phone during the previous days calling my mobile phone consistently. Some were 6 calls in a row from the same number!! So on 3/16/12, I asked to speak with Scott Wilson & he said he was that person. I then asked to speak to Erick Peterson but he hesitated to transfer me & said that he was handling my case & Erick wasn't available. I told him I was just speaking to him a second ago & I wanted to speak with him now. He places me on hold, i can hear him covering the phone. Someone comes back on who sounds the same but trying real hard to change his voice & states he is Erick Peterson and that some compliance monitoring manager is on the phone to listen in. I asked for the name of that person and gives me another American sounding name which I have written down. I demanded to speak with that person. Erick became agitated telling me they are trying to take care of this case, but I still insisted to speak to that monitoring person. He supposedly transfers me and Low and behold! They all sound the same!!! I told him that and asked why they all sounded the same and that are they are probably one person who is trying to scam money! He defended himself and I asked again for the date of my loan and this time he tells me it's from February 3, 2012!!! I told him, "That's funny! You told me yesterday its from first week of August last year!!" He then said, As I told you ma'am, we will send you paperwork within 7 days and we will straighten this date out." I didn't speak to this monitoring officer or whatever his title is yesterday so why would he say he told me about sending me paperwork yesterday?!!! I told him I have reported them to the police and next is the FBI. He then said he would put my case/file as NDC...then hung up! WTH?!!! I went online to check out US CASH ADVANCE and ran into this site. I must say that I am slightly slightly I don't even have the right word, but to see that I am not the only victim of this scam. I feel so violated and uneasy knowing that someone has my personal information and how they got a hold of it is just simply appalling! I am going to the proper authorities and pray that these people be reprimanded...

-very concerned victim

how do i get these people to stop calling me and threading me about money that i was suppose to have received i have never received any money from anyone and i dont think it is fair that they r calling me and saying that i am going to jail when i know that i have not did anything wrong

i keep getting calls from this trash myself i just called the number that shows on my cal id it ssays wash st in reality its a magic jack the area code is 253.among others i dont have a on line loan with anyone they say there lawyers that represent us cash advance bull shit or maybe camel shit is more accurate

I looked into this as well because they called my cell phone # and my work # and left messages on both phones. This was from an 877 #. They had my SSN! The accent was thick Middle Eastern as well and said that I should have been contacted by the police with a warrant for my arrest. I asked him which agency he was with and he said the "Legal Department at US Cash". I've never even heard of US Cash. I think somehow if you've EVER gotten a payday loan at any time your information is available! Scary! I told him to come get me #()@*($, at this he hung up! I checked with the BBB and it says that the only time I can file a complaint with the FCC is if the caller became verbally abusive! Don't you think threatening to drag me into court is threatening? I'm filing a complain anyways!

my calls started todayFeb.27, 20012 from 18778374395.this person had my information how i don't know.his mo was the same.

Hey all. I got my first call last week. I will be honest...there was a period in my life when I did use payday loans so this concerned me a bit at first...but I knew something was suspect on this as they told me that I needed to get a prepaid Visa card and call them back. NO DEBT COLLECTOR WILL (AND MORE IMPORTANTLY) CANNOT REQUEST THIS OF YOU. I know this because I work in debt collection. If you get these calls, you need to ask for a copy of the Fair Debt Letter that was (and should have) been sent to you as well as a copy of the original debt date, etc. I called the FBI as I was told this organization was NOT part of the FBI and I was told that that office would NEVER contact me by phone or email for debt collection. I was also told that I was the third person today to call that field office with this inquiry/complaint.
Once I had that confirmation, I called back and went through about an hour of abuse against me and my non-existent children. Once they realized I had no intention of paying them, they hung up on me. I continued to call back over and over and over demanding that they remove me from their list. After about four hours of calling, etc. I finally got the guy to admit that they were not real and that they would not contact me any more (apparently, using their prepaid phone card and cell phone minutes isn't too popular). The names I received from these obviously non-American individuals were: John Carroll, Jon Torre, Scott Johnson and Greg Slade.
One last note: at one point, I was told the police would be calling me because of my incessant phone calls back and "harassment". When I got another call, I was informed it was "a police cop" (true story) and that Scott Johnson was dead from a heart attack because of my incessant phone calls and that I was now going to be arrested for murder.
Do not let these people fool you and NO MATTER WHAT...do not send them money. Call the FBI and complain and the call back over and over and over until they tell you they won't contact you any more. The number I used was 310-953-0037.
Feel free to use it as much as you like. =)
