I was contacted by them by phone - they are obviously located in India. Their names are ,' Bob Taylor,' 'Alexander Black,' and Mike simon. it was different people taking these names each time I spoke with them. They told me I was under investigation for fraud against the payday advance companies, and that Cash Advance America was the umbrella company for 85 other payday advance companies. they told me that I had half an hour to get $600.00 to them, via a paid cash card from either Walgreens or Walmart, or I would be in serious legal trouble. they told me there was a lawsuit against me, and that I was being accused of fraud. I didn't know what to do, so I paid them only $20.00. I told them I wanted a receipt for the money before I'd pay them another dime. Of course I never go that receipt. However -

they have started harassing me again. Today they called me and told me that I was a 'suspect,' and that sheriffs were coming to my home to arrest me if I didn't pay them $580.00 in half an hour. I told them I didn'thave it, and they told me to borrow it from a friend - that I MUST pay them, or I'd be arrested. I was very VERY upset. obviously. I told them I didn't have it, and they told me that if I didn't call them on Wed with a payment, my Social Security disability would be taken away from me within six months. I was shaking, so I hung up and called the FBI, and they told me that this was a scam and I should immediately call the Federal Trade Commission. which I of course did. I was on the phone with them for a long time. I've got a case number, and I'm sure I'll be contacted again. I'm VERY upset, and these people should be SHUT DOWN! The FBI told me that they ask for these paid cash cards because they cannot be traced,a nd it's impossible to get your money back once you submit it to them.

I do not understand why they continue to operate. I see here that there are over five hundred complaints against them, and that people have been complaining about them since 2011. I will make sure they are shut down. one way or the other - they should be STOPPED.
