I received a call stating that I owed for a payday loan. When I told the guy I have never received a payday loan he stated I owed an application fee for applying for the loan. What a joke....COMPLETE SCAM!!!!!!
This same number has called me threatening me to arrest me, suspend my DL and revoke my social security card. They are insane! I would not pay them a dime!! I dont owe it and you can tell its a scam!
Got sveral calls from this number within a few minutes. when i did call back, a man called 'Daniel" (?) told me the exact same thing as Chris above. I told him I never got nor applied for a loan from whatever cash advance place he said. he then told me "F*** You and F*** your happiness!" and that I could suck his c***!" then someone else got on the phone and i went off on him like there was no tomorrow and told the call had been recorded (wasn't) and that I had already contacted the police, my attorney, and the attorney general and that I had better not see that number on my caller ID again or the attorney general would be contacted again. i also let him know that i know whatever address they give probably does not exist.

The exact same thing has happened to me as did GG. This man called my husbands cell phone looking for me, which was already a red flag because I never use his number for any business, I use my own. He said I had applied for a $300 pay day loan through Cash Advance of America in Nov. of 2010, which he explained owned at least 50 smaller cash advance businesses, so it could be any one of their subsidiaries. And then explained that I still owed them $50 for a processing fee and that his company had been hired to collect that debt. I told him that I did not owe the money and that I did not take out any pay day loans. I told him that he could mail me the information and I would investigate further but he said he was not at liberty to send me anything. So I told him that if he couldn't send me anything, then I wasn't going to pay anyone any money and that he should not call me anymore. He proceeded to tell me that he was going to continue calling until I paid the fee. I was getting pretty angry by this time and basically yelled at him that I knew my rights and I would file harassement charges if he called me again and hung up. Well, he called right back, so my husband answered and gave him a piece of his mind. We have not heard back from him again, but it has only been a day. What is really funny though, is that later I called the number back from my phone and "Daniel" answered and identified the company as United Financial. How does this guy get our numbers??
