I received a call from a man with an Indian accent and he stated that he was a paralegal with a law firm representing Cash Advance America. He had my name and the last four digits of my social security number. He told me that legal action was was being taken against me for a payday loan I had taken out with them. I then asked him when and where I had taken out the loan, because I had no recollection of their company. He could not give me any specifics. He actually said that I had taken it out "sometime during my life"... Lol. He then stated that they had given up on a lawsuit and had, instead, elected to take out a warrant for my arrest. I started asking questions and he put me on hold so as to connect me with the attorney.
The "attorney" got on the phone and said if i held for a second he could contact Cash Advance America and see if they would accept any payment. After holding for a couple minutes he came back and said they would take a payment within the next 45 minutes and resolve the matter. He told me that if i didnt pay them police officers would arrive at my place of employment within 2 hours to arrest me.
While on the phone with him I googled Cash Advance America scam and, bingo, there were tons of reports. I told him that i knew it was a scam and that i wasnt an idiot. He tried to convince me otherwise for a short time. When I didn't give into him and told him to stop calling he became enraged and started using profanity. I really hope no one sends them any money and I hope they get arrested for scamming the public.
