About 2 months ago I filled out an online application for some payday loan. I received several offers but never accepted any of them. Since then I've been receiving calls from individuals who identify them self as representatives of American Law Division calling on behalf of Cash Advance America. According to "Kent Brown" (305-434-4079) I've defaulted on a loan and I owe $1056.00. He also stated that I have broken several financial, Internet and state laws. After all his FAKE legal jargon, he could not tell me how it is possible to default on a loan that I never accepted. I told him to send me documentation on my "case". I'm still waiting...
On 6/21/2011, I received a call from "Eric Foster" stating that he is a lawyer and I owe money on a payday loan that is in default. His story was that I owe over $5,000 in interests and fees. He needed my lawyer's number because they are filing a case against me in court. This is the scare tactics they use to intimidate people into sending them money. I never accepted any payday loans, so I know that this is B.S. When I asked to speak with his manager he transferred me to "Charles Green" who tried to tell me that I better pay the debt before they send the paperwork to the court. He demanded that I send them money before Thursday morning or "the police would come to my house and drag me to courthouse". I told him the the police wouldn't have to come looking for me because I will be at the courthouse waiting for the documents. I demanded the physical address to his office and laughed to myself as he tried to make up something off the top of his head: "515 Broadway Street 11th floor. New York, N.Y. 10036". They must not know about Google maps. They ALL have deep foreign accents with typical American or "English" names...Yes, they are all fake!

Cash Advance America. a.k.a. Ace Cash Advance, Cash Advance Company
The information on their website is limited to applying for a loan which I believe is designed with the sole purpose of acquiring your PERSONAL INFORMATION. No address, no phone numbers, so you cannot call them.
I tried emailing them about my "Phantom" account and you guessed it, FAKE!
Another suspicious website is MM Cash Advance. Similar name, no phone number, or address. They claim to have business locations, but nothing is listed on the site.
The bottom line is...
BORROWER BEWARE, THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAMMERS!!!!
