I received an email from Lisa Bates from collection-manager.com

In her original email stated that the court case is from Cash Express USA however, the attached settlement was on Advance America. When I asked her the send he validity of the debt, she said I would receive it in court. Then when I questioned her about the difference between what she has the SUPPOSED Court Case filed with the courts with the names SHE WILL NOT ANSWER THAT. I also asked her about the difference between her email address and the lawyers email. No response.

She threatened me by saying she would see me in court. LOL
I used to do collections for a bank back in the day for mortgages and by law you cannot just go to court and not provide documentation prior to the consumer..

"Edwin Gonzalez
The preferred mode of payment we are authorized to accept has to be through the Cash App, so that you need not give any of your secure personal information.
Due to security reasons we do not accept payment through Credit/Debit cards.
In the case of making online payment using your Credit/Debit card or through your bank account, it is very unsecured.
We have a tie up with Square Cash App Inc. and this mode of payment is exclusively for the promotion of Bitcoin.
OR
Can you come up with the one-time settlement amount of $600.00 now?
We will provide you with our account manager information so that you can pay him through Money Gram.

NOTE: You are directly dealing with ADVANCE CASH Corporation and this is to inform you that we have not handed this case to any other organization.

Best Regards.
If once the case will be filed in the court then it will add late payment fees, documentation fees, penalty fees, judge fees and attorney charges and courthouse fees which may go up to $4500.00
If you would like to make a one-time final payment to settle your account, we can waive all fees and freeze the existing cash advance thus taking your balance down from $1280.00 to $600.00 and accepting $600.00 as a one-time final payment.
Now, I just want to know whether you want to resolve this matter outside the courthouse or not.
Reply immediately with your final answer so I can move further on the basis of your answer.

Best Regards."

This is the second time these people have tried this for payday loan places. I got the person to send me a signed document with my name and signature on it. Gave the date of supposed deposit into my bank. Easy enough to prove it wasn’t me. However, I knew it had to be a scam as soon as it said payday loan as I’ve never used these places before. I email back and forth with them demanding as much intel they seem to have. I just tell them I’ll see them in court. Somewhat to be done

Dear debtor,



You are going to be legally prosecuted in the Court House within a couple of days. Your SSN is put on hold by the US Government, so before something goes wrong we would like to notify you about this matter. It seems apparent that you have chosen to ignore all our efforts to contact you in order to resolve your debt with Payday Services. At this point you have made your intentions clear and leave us no choice but to protect our interest in this matter.



UNITED LEGAL INVESTIGATION BUREAU HAS STATED 3 SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS AGAINST YOU AND THEY ARE:



(1) VIOLATION OF FEDERAL BANKING REGULATION

(2) COLLATERAL CHECK FRAUD

(3) THEFT BY DECEPTION



Now, this means a few things for you. If you are under any state probation or payroll we need you to inform your superior or manager what you have done in the past and what would be the consequences once the case has been downloaded and executed in your name. If we do not hear from you within 24 hours of the date on this letter, we will be compelled to seek legal representation from our in-house attorney. We reserve the right to commence litigation for intent to commit wire fraud under the pretense of refusing to repay a debt committed to, by the use of the internet. In addition we reserve the right to seek recovery for the balance due, as well as legal fees and any court cost incurred.



WE HAVE ALL THE RIGHTS RESERVED TO INFORM TO FBI, FTC, YOUR EMPLOYER AND BANK ABOUT FRAUD.



And once you are found guilty in the courthouse then you have to bear the entire cost for this lawsuit $6500.00 which is excluding loan amount, attorney's fees, and the interest charges. You have the right to hire an attorney. If you don't have one or if you can't afford then one will be appointed to you, we believe that this was not your intent and that these steps are unnecessary.



IF YOU WANT TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER IMMEDIATELY kindly make the payment as soon as possible.



Best Regards."
