Good for you! Well done! Here's the url that gives all the information by state for these kind of things along with where to file some of those complaints..
Advance fee loans are illegal period and in some states, so are the payday loans. Please be aware the scammers may also claim down the road that you have taken a loan and try to extort money from you that way as well!

I got the same phone call from John Martin from payday loans from this number and another number almost everyday! I am sick and tired of this annoyance! I explained to him the first time that I never took out a payday loan and that he needed to quit calling me. I told him to send me proof that I received a loan and never received anything. What a SCAM!
