Cash Advance America
Complaint 135339 Details

I attempted a loan for $700.00 to avoid eviction. I have never done this before, so the overwhelming emails and phone calls blew me away. The company that was the easiest (?) to understand and worked at my pace was Cash Advance America. Once the process was started, the employee I was in communication with, Shadman Khan, proceeded to request me as a friend on facebook because I sounded nice, and continued to ask personal questions while the loan was 'processing'. The rest of the arrangement went downhill from there. I was unable to get just $700.00; they claimed their minimum was $1,000.00. I proceeded due to the emergency and timeliness I needed this money.

"Due to my credit" I was told to make the first payment of $226.00 via Western Union sent to a VIVAL KUMAR in India. After I barely scrapped up the money to get money (???) Once they received my first installment, the IRS department of their company informed me I was not going to receive my loan until I sent another transfer of $309.00 "to prove that I was the one paying the taxes". This amount I, reluctantly but without a choice, sent to AJAY KUMAR in India.

Their tactic is backing you into options you think you want because of the way the scammers present the opportunity. Even when I voiced my doubts, they obviously sucked me back in.

Needless to say, I am currently still waiting on this transfer to show in my bank.
