I just got a email from this company, and I knoow its a scam, because I never got any kind of loan from this company

remove

Help me, you scammed me. You took everything from me. I am 76 years old. Someone help me please.

remove

I got a text message from an attorney working for advance America saying that I owe them money and that they will take me to court within the next few days and they will file a case against me.

I don’t remember taking a loan from them.

They told me that they don’t take credit cards and I need to go to Walmart and a google play card and have the money put on the cards.

If I didn’t do this they would take me to court call my employer etc.

doesn’t this seem like a scam!

I asked for documentation of the loan but never gave me any.

They told me that they taking me to court.

I have taken out payday loans before but I do not remember if it was ever from them.

I assume that if they send me documentation it could be a fraud letter.

They insist they are a big law firm.

What should I do?

They kept texting me for over six hours

remove

Below is the email I got today. Note there is no name in the signature field, the vocabulary is incorrect and unprofessional in several areas. I also asked for a copy of the original agreement and they cannot provide it so I told them I have happily forwarded this email to the federal internet fraud investigation department and to my attorney. No reply!

I'm getting harassment letter about owing this company money.

Referred to Attorney General's Office and Better Business Bureau

I owe them nothing, have not done business with them, no deposits to my account, no paperwork ever initiated.

I want the harassment memos to stop.

remove

I was going through a very depressing time and was not on my game at the time.

I was called by the "scammers" over one year ago and told that I owed money to advance America.

I remembered that I had done business with them years before and I remembered that one of the women in the office ended up having a vendetta with me and may have not put all of the money on the account because later she was convicted of fraud when working with another company. so I thought that I could owe them. The callers were so harsh, until I ended up like a fool giving them the card info and paid $843.oo in three payments.

I did not realize that it was a scam until 3 days ago I got a call again and it stated that there was a lien against my income taxes. I was like go ahead I pay them every year anyway.

Then the guy kept on I gave him the name of a friend that is an attorney. he told me not to hang up because that would indicate that I did not want to pay.

I waited on the line and then he said a few more things and I told him to call the attorney.

meanwhile I was trying to get as much information as I could so that I could contact the FTC or someone that could use the information.

we disconnected the call and then immediately a man, with the same tactics that he used before and the same name from before started telling me that he had just left my house and he was on his way to my job

he said that there was no one at my home.

I told him to come on to my job. but I

know that he hadn't come to my home because he said no one was there but there were 4 painters at my house on the outside painting my house purple and my husband was on the outside of the house.

please do not get caught up in this scam.

Here's an email we got just a couple of days ago:

"From: Jacob Lichtenberger <jacob@davidsonlawgroup.net>

Dear Customer:

We tried contacting you several times in regards to clear your outstanding loan account with Advance America of $300.00 taken out in November 2016 and has now accumulated to over $900.00.

To date, you've failed to respond.

Now we have no alternative but to refer your account to our attorney for collection.

Once your account has been sent to our attorney, you'll be responsible for all attorney fees and litigation costs involved in collecting your outstanding balance - which will result in a total of over $8,000.00.

To avoid attorney's fee and litigation costs, we are offering a one-time settlement of $400.00 which must be made before January 12, 2019.

The preferred mode of payment is through One Vanilla Visa Card, as this is the only mode of payment we are allowed to accept as per FDCP act. All you have to do is get a One Vanilla Visa Card and load $400.00. These cards are available at most major retailers and stores.

Afterward, kindly e-mail us the following information so that we can process your payment. 16 digit Vanilla Visa Card Number, Expiration date of card, and CVV (3 digit code on the back of the card). This $400.00 settlement offer is a one-time offer and if we have not received this by January 15th, you will be liable for all attorney fees. Note: You merely have 48 hours to resolve this issue.

Thank you

I must say they were very persistent, but when I told them I had never heard of this company and never had taken a loan out from them - so they might as well get their lawyer on the ball to start collection proceedings - I've not heard from them again.

I even offered to have OUR lawyer get with THEIR lawyer to resolve this - they did not like that idea and would not give me any attorney phone numbers or address. WHAT A SCAM!

I have one from Advance America over 14 years ago saying they will summons me to court to pay a Balance owed. That was mailed to me from California.

I get these all the time, I got the one below this morning. They go into my Junk Folder. I wish there was a way to stop this, but alas, here it is. I always hope no one falls for this, because they can be quite threatening and persistent.

"Dear Customer,

We still have no response from our emails nor from the letters that we sent you.

Your entire account is now seriously past due: It is obvious that our efforts to clear the account on a mutually agreeable basis have had no impact. Unless we receive payment from you within seven days, or can work out a mutually agreeable arrangement/Onetime Settlement to discharge this obligation, we will have to report the matter to the credit bureau.

Subsequently, the account will be turned over to our attorneys for further action. Since this is a costly procedure for both of us, and will cause serious damage to your credit rating, We would suggest that you get in touch with us immediately so that we can clear the matter at once without resorting to such procedures.

Very truly yours,

Hi, I recently had this email sent to me and it went to my spam emails. I didn't find it until today and want to know if it is legit. I had some loans with Advance America years ago, but I thought that they were all settled. Thank You for your help!

Dear Customer,

We tried to contact you several times in regards to your unpaid loan account with "Advance America" but till now we have not received any response from your side.

As of now the only option left with us is to take legal action against you.

A legal action may hamper you in following ways:

Your Employer will be contacted as you mentioned their information while taking the loan. It was mentioned in the loan agreement that the Company has full rights to contact your Employer in case of non-payment of loan.

Your wages can be garnished.

The references provided by you will be contacted and they might have to appear in the Court House as their names were mentioned in the loan application too. It was mentioned in the loan agreement that the Company has full rights to contact the references in case of non-payment of loan.

Social Security Administration will be notified regarding this fraudulent activity which might result in blocking of your socials.

Your Bank accounts/credit cards will be frozen.

Major Credit reporting agencies will be notified regarding this loan account which may ruin your Fico score.

Once you are found guilty into the Court House then you have to bear the entire cost for this lawsuit $7289.65 which is excluding loan amount, attorney's fees, and the interest charges.

This is the final opportunity for you to resolve this issue before commencement of legal action.

For any queries, concerns, bill, payment arrangement and one-time settlement, you can simply email us back. We will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you.

This is [Paul David] from [Advance America]. This e-mail is to notify you that under IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center) we have Registered Case against you. We tried to contact you several times but it seems apparent that you have chosen to ignore all our efforts. After sending the legal notice to your local Law Enforcement and your current employer, you will be blacklisted from getting any job.

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,

this means 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. Through IRS (Internal Revenue Service) your Social security number will be put on hold causing severe damage to your credit history or credit report and your income paychecks will be put on hold.

Our primary job was to notify you about the case before we send you legal document in the mail because once this case gets registered then we won’t be able to help you out of court. Our client is least interested in getting the money at this point as they want to just go ahead and start taking legal actions, however, we wanted to contact you and give you last chance to resolve this case out of court. If you want to take care of this out of court then contact us with payment within 48 hours and we will release the Clearance Certificate from the court. Our intention is not to threaten you, it is only an effort from our-side to settle this case outside the court.

IF YOU WANT TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER;
