For the second time in two weeks, I recieved a harrassing phone call at work. I was off for the Christmas holiday and when I returned to work I had a voice mail waiting for me from David Williams at 760-652-9364 to call him in reference to loan I supposedly took out. To my surprise it was still an active number when I returned the call. Of course there was no answer and the answereing machine simply said "leave a message". If this is some big company or law firm you would think it would say more than that, or if these people were a little smarter, lol. Thank God I discovered it was a scam the first time before I gave them all my vital information, most of which they already have. That is shocking and scary to say the least. These people need to give it up. This scam is being broadcasted all over the internet. It is almost comical the way they give themselves these 'white american' names and can barely speak English. Its even funnier how they get real frustrated and unprofessional when you start asking them questions and throw them off the script they are reading. Unfortunately these scammers will probably get away with this because it is conducted over the phone and hard to trace. But if we all stick togther and keep complaining and pass the word on to all our friends and relatives, we can put a stop to the harrassing phone calls because everyone would recognize the SCAM as soon as we hear us cash advance then some white American name, rolling off the tounge of a person who can barely speak English.

My dauaghter received a phone call from a john Brian & Assoc., He mentioned he took a cash advance and needed to fork up some money or else. The
man had an accent and talked like an idiot(rude). My daughter is 18 yrs. old and was nervous that he knew her name, social sec. number and adress, so here I am trying to get some information and also give so that we can somehow protect ourselves from these jokers.

I got a phone call on 12/21/10 from a man saying I was to be fired because of a pay day loan that I supposedly skipped out on. He had my work number, my cell number, my social security number and my home address AND my email address. I tried to get answers from him, he claimed to be a lawyer and said I needed a lawyer and that was all he was going to tell me. I tried calling him back but he wouldn't talk to me, he just hung up on me. I looked up his number and the name of the business he gave me US Cash Advance and I found many scams that he tried with others across the United States. Its a big time scam.

A call arrived at my office from a caller who said he was "Chris Ham from Accelerated Legal". (Note: Chris Ham had a VERY heavy Far East Indian accent that was VERY hard to understand.) He told me that I was a in a "Big Legal Mess" and he needed the name and phone # of my attorney. I asked him what this was in regards to in which he replied shocked, "you do not know what this is about. Let me transfer you to the case manager as I am not allowed to give out this information". A few seconds later, a gentleman answered "This is Andrew Johnson. I am a restitution officer for US Cash Advanced. Please give me your attorney's name and telephone # so I can fax the case information to them." I reply, what is this in regards to. He states this is regarding a cash advance loan. When I explain to him that I have not requested, nor taken a cash advance loan, he says that "someone processed an application with US Cash Advance. Is your social security # XXX-XX-XXX?" I reply yes, but I did apply. What is your address, telephone #, date of loan and amount and case #. He replies saying the amount was $500. The application date is 9/21/2009 and the address is 905 Baxter Street, Irving, Texas.
I asked him to clarify as he he stated "the 'application' is dated 9/21/2009." He said yes, he will fax the application to my attorney. In which I advise him that an application does not constitute a loan or proof a loan was generated or agreed to by me or any other party. I asked him to cease all calls to me, my office and my cell. He indicates that a case will be generated in the next 2 days in my state and that I will receive notice thereafter. I elaborate by saying that an application does not bind anyone to a loana nd since he cannot provide proof of loan and/or deposit his company should cease calls (again, i repeated that.) He concludes by stating that I will find out what this is about soon.

A gentlman called me at work (an Aerospace establishment), by the name of Tom Watkins. Sounded funny because of the thick accent (Indian). He told me that an unpaid amount of $300.00 was due back in June of 2010 to my checking account. I let him speak and he continued to tell me that there are 3 very serious alegations against me and that federal agents could come and get me. I said "Really?!" I let me continue even though I knew I didnt have a checking account in June...I didnt open one unti the end of August. I never informed him I didnt have a checking account when he said I did. I havent had a checking account for quite some time, but I digress. After he finished, he stated I needed to get an attorney so he could send the information about my case. He would not send anything to me directly, even though I told him I would represent myself (a constitutional right). I told him I would look into it and call him back. I had a feeling this was a scam of some sort so i informed my IT dept of the call I was going to make back. The gentlman who called me didnt realize he called a secured Aerospace establishment to contact me. So, I called him back 206-577-2335, a Washington number. He said he was in New York...yea right. I told him that I thought he was harrassing me and that a government agency was informed of his call to a secured facility. He didnt care! He started getting loud and I told him I was going to hang up...after more berating I did. He called back...I couldn't believe it. He continued to call 5 or 6 times a day for 3 days. The number is now turned into an unnamed agency by my company. Dont worry people, they will be stopped. Hopefull soon. I no longer get any calls from them. It seems that you just have to endure the 2 or 3 days of harrassment and they move on. Now I need to find out how they got my information. They had my banks' routing and account number, my mom's maiden name and other personal information. That scares me more than the guy calling me, but making this a positive situtaion, I guess this is blessing in disguise to be more protective and dilegent of transmitting personal information over the internet. Be careful out there.
