I received a call from "James", this morning, stating a friend used me as a reference for a payday loan & she had not paid it back, therefore we were both responsible. References are not co-signers, I would not be responsible IF she had taken out the loan. I know, with no question, this is a scam because they stated she applied for the loan in April 2010 (they couldn't give the exact date) and used my name and phone number as a reference. I just got this phone number, so there is no way she used it on any application 9 months ago. They are very rude, and argumentative. He stated my friend & I would have to appear in court next Friday, but wouldn't/couldn't tell me the address of the court where we would have to appear. As someone else mentioned, when I mentioned contacting the police, James ended the call very abruptly. Something needs to be done, to bring these scammers to justice.Reply !

i got the same call from 213-545-6536...the guy name is Mark Brown. Sound indian but why "brown"?? say they advance me $300....asking me to pay back $594..or $600 if u say...almost double that amount...i never got their money in the first place!.
Why would i advance $300 when my parent would just give it to me...force me to pay off $100 but i knew it a fraud..i mean who ask for you to fax your I.D and SS?? dont they already hav that [***] before they loan you???
My husband and I received the same call 8-2-11 @ 1200p. The number that showed up on our caller ID was: 213-799-1159. The guy that first spoke to my husband gave a name also as James, but later I interrupted my husband from speaking to him after I saw my husband becoming aggitated and frustrated at the bogus information James was feeding him. After numerous threats and rudeness from them calling us several times I asked to speak to the manager or supervisor over James he then transfers the call to an Ashely who also sounded mid eastern. I quickly became frustrated again and asked to speak to someone who is "American" Ashley pretended to be someone else. From looking at the testimonies from everyone above and below this page my husband and myself feel better to know we were not the only ones who have been targeted, and we do need to do something about "bogus" companies like this one who call people randomly threathing them without cause.
the same thing happened to me this morning. When you tell them that you did not take out a loan that your not paying anything back they start cussing you out. Now does that really sound like a professional?...i knew it was fraud
