Cash Advance America
Complaint 163486 Details

I got a call today from Keith Parker of Cash Advance America approving me of a loan up to $3000.00. He approved me for $2000.00 and ask me if I wanted it now by Western Union or later by direct deposit (3-4 business days). I told him now. He wanted me to go to a Western Union location a call him (209-682-5678) for further instuctions. He also said that he wanted me to send $125.00 to secure the loan and they would send it right back. When I asked, "why?" he told me that they worked with the federal reserve and the needed it to show that I would be able to pay it back. I further questioned him. I could tell he was getting unconfortable as he began to not directly answer my questions. He transfered me to Ricky Anderson. (Both ppl had thick accents, so I asked him if that was his real name. He said, "yes".) He told me the same thing that the other person told me, and couldn't really answer my questions either. I asked for their website, and they gave me www.checksmartstores.com. I went to the website and called the number. They are not connected to each other, so I decided not to go through with the loan. I found this site after looking up that company. Thank you so much for your comments. They really helped me in this situation.
