I had applied for an online loan and was called the next day saying that I was approved by an Eric Thompson from a 818-945-1425,808-945-1425,816-533-4879 numbers, and that since my credit wasn't perfect that I would need to purchase a vanilla network reload voucher from Walmart or Wal-Greens with 8 % of the loan amount to make sure that I was a "financially strong" person and then they wouldn't take any money off the card, just check to see that the balance was the right amount.

So I went and I got to Wal-mart they were out of the vanilla reload network voucher so I purchased a Green Dot voucher instead and put $345 dllrs on there. He told me that my money would be in my bank in 1 hour later that day he called me back and told me that I had to pay taxes on this loan, He give me the name of Nathaniel Edwards that works for the IRS, So I called and spoke with him and he said that they where holding my money till I paid $256.he sound just like Eric Thompson very hard to understand so the next morning I got a call from Eric Thompson and he told me that my money was on hold till I paid my taxes so I bought another Green Dot voucher for the amount of $256 and I give him the number to card so after he said my money would be release with in 1/2 hour he promise that my money would be in my bank he made a big emphasis on this. I was informed that the deposit amount would be $3345 not to worry he give me a con#CLS83489.

About an hour later I got a call from a Charles Peters numbers are 904-458-7583 & 876-524-2436 saying that he was the supervisor and all calls were being recorded and that Eric Thompson had given me the wrong amount of money that I had send and that I was no longer to contact Eric Thompson. Charles Peters said that i needed to buy another voucher for the amount of $480 and he promise that he would release the money to my bank, he give me a wire code RTZ40080040 and that I should not give it to no one.

Then I got a call from a Michael Asimota claiming that he works for Bank of America and that my money was frozen till I paid $480. So I went to the bank and asked if they had frozen my bank account there was not a such person working for the bank they advice me not to buy or give anymore money to these people that it was a SCAM..

I called Eric Thompson and demanded my money back he said that it was out of his hands because I was talking to Charles & Michael and they did not work for CashAdvanceAmerica.

Friday came and I still have not received the money back to my account and they have not taken care of everything there, then Eric Thompson called me back around 1 hour to tell me that in 15 mins after I paid the processing fee of $170 and again he promise that I would have my money wire ASAP. I did not buy any more Green Dot card.

Eric Thompson also sent me a "contract" e-mail from [email protected], which I didn't return or sign.


Well, I refused and I want all my money back, ASAP they have all my information.
Someone else called and said that he work for the BBB I could not understand his name and he claim that Charles Peters had called and complain about Eric Thompson.

Eric Thompson give me and address here in L.A.I wanted to speak to the supervisor about this I informed that this was a scam and all the money was gone from the account. And it happens a lot with those kind of cards and now have a case out against this Cash Advance.

After this I had received a call from 876-356-9362 telling me that they could not wire my money into my account because of my credit and that I needed to do something connected with Western Union that would cost me 300 dollars to do and then I will receive all my money, and was informed that they had "Bundled" my money together, and that I couldn't get any of my money back until I did so. He also informed me that they had been receiving a lot of unpleasant calls concerning my "loan". Obviously worried.

This Is a scam!! I was ignorant of this was and until I was informed by my bank supervisor, since I never took out a loan before, but please do yourself a favor and learn from my mistake!

  • I am so glad this was posted online! I almost fell for this same scam. I was contacted by Eric (323)739-7071 and when I called back I spoke to a Marshall. He wanted me to Western Union him $210 then he would put money in my account. Fortunately, I read this post and didn't get scammed. They said their company was called Cashadvanceamerica.
