I received a phone call because I was looking for long and the person on the other end tell me that I was eligible for $5000 loan.. he told me I needed to send some information through email and I did it he told me he needed to confirm a few things asked me a couple questions I answered them and then he told me that there needed to be a deposit made and a tax fee that I needed to pay for the US treasury department and for the IRS and then I could have the funds released to me. I received a call from two different people after they watched my account overnight and agree that I will receive the $5000 after I make a final deposit through cash app… I made the first deposit but I never made the second.. because at that point he asked me to go to the store and send it through money gram and that’s when I decided to call the Better Business Bureau after I called the Better Business Bureau and went to the bank I came home only to receive another phone call well now he was asking me why I went to the bank and why I was filing a report and I told him I feel like I was ripped off and he said let him do some checking and that was it.

I then blocked both the numbers.

I tried to get a loan from this place and I never received it. When they tried to deposit some checks into my bank account, they were returned as being fraudulent. My account has a negative balance as a result of this. I don't know what to do.

I was applying for a loan and was contacted by who they say is Advance America. They sent me the paperwork to sign and has the logo as the real Advance America. He then called and told me a deposit was going to be made into my account and I was to send it right back as soon as I got it. This was to buy good credit to build my credit score. He told me it was very important not to log in to my bank while this transaction was happening. I got a message from my bank that my petition for reversal of payments were pending. I logged in to my account and saw that my rent and storage unit payments had been returned to me. I called the bank and told them I did not request for the reversal of those payments. He keeps calling me from different numbers and demands I send the money back. He's threantening to freeze my bank account and make my account negative by taking out 1700 and block my social security number and make it impossibe for me to bank with anyone else in the future.

I was told by Lina Martin Agt, that even though I have poor credit & didn't want upfront fees to apply that I was still eligible for receiving a loan for $3000 and already approved. I paid out $200 & $250 using Walmart gift cards to obtain a better credit score & was hard-pressed to add a $100 gift card to process the payment to my bank at Wells Fargo. The manager talked me into complying, except for the$100 payment. I was to receive $3450 . The application also included personal bank information including my username & password for my account. I have been so stressed out and should've known better. The E-sign document wouldn't download (PDF) & I am broke now.

I'm a 76 yr old widow & have been scammed. Please investigate and get my gift card monies returned.

I rec'd a call I have done online loans before and said I was qualified. I got a call from 3 different staff members A john who set up the agent Rio Walker who does the application 1st payment of $125.00 fee upfront then he had mentioned the bank denied my deposit I was well I called the bank its fine I never had an issue before. Then they asked for cash app payment. I did do that for the $125 they had me send it to #2zmp5a6 Sabrena Merriweather. then the guy told me we can send it to the cash up but it needs insurance on it of $155 the guy was really pushy I was like you didn't say anything and your letter doesn't state that on the loan agreement so I don't have to pay it. He said it's easy just ask someone for it I said ok deduct from my loan then. He couldn't do that. So then I asked to speak to his Supervisor I said no your not. I called the number on the letter spoke to another guy who apologized for him not explaining then he tried was really smooth. So that didn't work. So I was scammed of $125. Things that caught my eye no complete address, letter had a typo. all 3 numbers used were 786-706-3432, 786-706-3432 and 786-687-8213. I have asked for the TIN Number he was not allowed to disclose that information and gave a web link AdvanceAmerica.net I called nikki they only do 250 payday loans in California

This "company" reached out to me via email stating that I owed a collector an unspecified amount of money and that there were lawyers involved. They gave me an attorney's name that I researched and could not find anything to support that this individual is an attorney. They then stated that I have until Friday to pay $950 or my assets will be frozen.

In response I asked them to provide actual proof and that I have a lawyer of my own that I am ready to utilize.

I was contacted by email by a guy named (aka) Kevin Johnson. I never replies to him or called them but they've offered me a 5000$ loan and so I checked him out. The form he sent said Better Business Bureau accredited but they're not. They list that address and thats also a no go. Then on the bottom left of the document is some sort of business license for Oregon. None of which checked out. Not trying the phone number.

I have been receiving these calls since 2009. I get them about every 8 months. They claim that Advance America has me in collections and that the cops are coming for me and that I am going to court. After 11 years, you would think that that would have happened already. lol

Anyway, a few years ago, my attorney had me call Advance America to find out if possibly someone had opened an account in my name. I had taken a payday loan from them, but had paid it back in full. AA said that they had had a disgruntled employee who had taken some people's files and sold them. So it is just a scam.

The calls used to really bother me, but now I like to mess with them. lol

On approximately August 18,2020, I applied for a payday loan with Advance America. Shortly thereafter I received an email that I had been approved for up to $5000. On August 28,2020, I called the phone number given to me in the email, to "Craig." " Craig" who had a very middle eastern accent, told me that he needed my bank account number and my password to verify my account and deposit my loan.

Since I had recently been scammed by someone with a heavy middle eastern accent whose name was "Austen," who worked for Lending Tree, and got about $900 from me, I was very suspicious and hung up the phone.

Maybe "Craig" was on the up and up, but I was not about to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Told me I was approved for a loan but, I had to send $100 for insurance to Brian Passmore and $115 for fees to Ernestine Hollimon through cash app. I was told numerous times, that it would be delivered to my checking account in 10 minutes. That never happen. When I wanted to cancel, he told me I would have to send $50 for the cancellation fee. But, nothing was done and they delivered nothing on their end. I am still waiting on my refund. They refused to send it through cash app. They wanted me to send them my credit card information to get my refund. Made no sense. These scammers need to stop targeting desperate people. I just wanted to tell my story so it wouldn't happen to no one else.

I'd applied for a loan online. I was offered a $5000 loan by Advance America if I would buy a $200 gift card at CVS.

I got a texted saying I was approved for a loan of 10,000, I only wanted to borrow 3,000, before I could even respond to the text a gentleman named Alex Mathews from Advance America called me back, he asked for my bank account and said he was depositing the 3,000 in my account, then I’m on hold and Alex comes back on the phone and says I have to put 251$ upfront in a prepaid Walmart gift card, he promised once I gave him the 251$ Because I explained to him 250$ was all the money I had, I’d get that back with the 3,000 because of the hardship of COVID 19 I believed him, He called me 3 times to see if I had the Walmart card yet, I finally did and after I gave it to him he said I’d have my loan and the 251$ in my account in 20 minutes, well 20 minutes turned into 4 hrs and by then I knew something wasn’t right because he kept saying I’d have the money in another 20 minutes, I got upset after; hrs and no money in my account and all Alex Mathews kept saying was be patient Mam just 20 more minutes, I have numerous texts from him if needed I’m just attaching my approved loan one, but I also have texts throughout the entire day dealing with him and the loan I thought was legit, I even have ones where he starts he’s refunding my money in 48 hrs ,and that was a week ago and no refund and now he’s taken money out of my checking and I’m 250$ overdrawn on my account because of him, I called this number that text my phone and it said it was Advance America and still does... I’m not sure I’m going to recoup from this, I just don’t know what to do

Offered 9000, but said I had to have a cash app account but I needed to send them 400 4 separate transactions of 100 each to verify my account. I sent the first 100 and then was questioning the others. Asked for 100 back Pete Wilson says he sent back. But did not get it. Marie Maxwell was initiated the emails. And said Pete was manager.

I received a collection call from Advance America. Collecting on a pay day loan. Case number B16099-3492. I do owe on some pay day loans. I am skeptical about the calls. Caller said they would take my stimulus check. They were collecting $318. He asked are you ready to settle the debt. I know I have until the end of April to make payment. The phone number in my caller ID was 800-301-0689. I gave my debit card number. I am going to call my credit union right away. He also called from a cell phone number. I do not have that number. I thought it may have been legitimate because he had the last four digits of my Social Security number.

Ive been told i had been talking to the college funds for free. I was told what to say... I spoke to 3 different supervicers..

That ask the same questions... I have a disability but im not stupid. They told me what to say so i would be guaranteed the 6000$ now they sent a agreement to fill out that makes it look like a pay day loan...i also told there was no payback yet they have me down as paying 153$ for 36 months...i wasnt told this....i may be a little slow thinking but my i never wanted to want to use no gov program...they are for the needy...i never ask for this. I am despertly needed but you will not help me low income, disabled,and in need of money to pay my bills...i got behind because of hardship...i do need help but not this way..
