i RECEIVED AN E-mail from a phone number of 844-311-8893 so I called this number and this number appeared 844-514-7670 and it is a medication company stating that they have documents from Personal Cash Advance from 2015 for a loan for $300 and total interest of $1,625.87. they hung up the phone after I told them that I did not apply for this loan. even gave me a reference number along in the e-mail. the e-mail claims that documents will be delivered today via USPS.
Well, I can’t wait to see what is coming in the mail. If anything it will be a letter making the same pitch. Please let me know.

I just received a call saying I owed 623 dollars for a cash advance I never took out. I got a text message. I called them at this number 877-315-2043 They had my numbers, the last 4 of my SSN but they couldn’t provide me with the exact website I supposedly borrowed money from. They’re “OFFICERS OF THE COURT” calling to collect! I had some fast talking guy saying I would be served papers and it would go on my credit report. He even looked up my credit report. This is kind of scary. They know everything about my finances.
Sounds scary and scammy.
This exact same thing happened to me this week. The only difference is the amount I supposedly borrowed. They also had my Sisters and Brother in Laws information. What did you do? Did they ever serve your papers or report it to your credit?
4-5-2020. Well I’m joining the ranks of people that are trying to be SCAMMED by Personal Cash Advance. I just got off the phone with a 3rd party collection company that had all my information and wanted to settle my 2011 debt that they had been moved to a new year, 2014 for a loan of $500. Which by the way I never took out. In 2011 and 2014 I was working and didn’t need their loan!
They stated they would NOT give me a copy of my signed documents until I was IN court.
She further “threaten me” she would file against me in TX and I would have to pay the full amount plus court cost and maybe serve time in jail for not paying. I told them “good, put a senior citizen in jail and take care of her, because I’m struggling out here anyway…. go ahead and make it happen”. Well, she got nasty and I TALKED over her on purpose. I am so tired of these SCAMMERS!!!!
In 2019 I was contacted by these people and I FILED with the BBB reports and got a BBB response back that “many” complaint reports had been filed against these people. I called 800-920-7430 and it was advertisements; I called the phone number listed on their website 866-473-8059 and it stated the words “ERROR….”
I hope this helps others to know that you’re not alone and if these people keep this up then we NEED to band together and FILE a CIVIL LAWSUIT as a group! I am sure we can find others that are in this same situation. Blessings
Thank you for your comment and update. You were so smart to see through the scam.
I was contacted today by John Soriano for a personnel cash advance loan of 1400.00 which I was told I took out in 2014 this so called person had my ss# also threaten to put a lean on my car but he would give me the option to make payments of 250.00 per month for 6 months or pay in full the amount of 832.14 with a debit card and the company would take a loss for the remainder of 567.86 but keep in mind that I needed to pay now on a recorded line and he would send documentation via email ..I told him I would call him back but my intention was to make sure this wasn’t a scam so I looked it up and oh my goodness it’s on the FBI least of scams which also instructed not to follow the instructions given by the scam person so I felt okay by saying just serve me papers tomorrow but I also let him know I knew he was a scam and he got very nasty on the phone
It’s tax time so that’s why this has started up
he call ed me to
My husband received a call from a woman asking for me by my maiden name. She wouldn’t give him any information other than it was regarding “legal documentation” and gave him a case number. I called back and spoke with a man named John Soriano (ext 303) and he proceed to tell me I was a defendant in a civil lawsuit because I never payed back a payday loan from Personal Cash Advance in the amount of $1221.35. He said this loan was taken out in 2014. I told him that was impossible because I have been a stay at home mom since 2010, and have not been employed since 2009. He told me the date he had on file was 2014 but it could be from before and proceed to give me a lot of personal identifying information about myself, which was very convincing. He then told me I could dispute the case and end up paying the entire amount plus court and attorney fees, or I could do one of two other options. I could pay 250$ for 6 months or I could pay a one time fee of $598.16 and do a recorded sworn statement. If I did I would receive a letter stating all legal action had been stopped. I told him I would have to discuss it with my husband and then call him back.
My husband called him back and asked for a copy of the original application, he refused to give us that because he said “they use it for evidence”.
I checked my credit report and neither the amount or creditor are listed on my report. After a lot of other research, I have determined this is a scam and I have reported it to the FTC and BBB. If I receive another call from them I will be sure to ask for their address and written documentation, which I am entitled to by law with in 30 days of request and then tell them to Cease and Desist.
Sounds like the fake payday collection scam.
My husband got a phone call from a man name John 855-814-0345 ext 303 with a case # saying they were going to supena him to court for 1340.52 but I can pay 798.16 or pay 250.00 for 6 months I call him back and ask him what pay day loan company is trying to sue us and he said he could not give me any information cause they only provide limit information to them . I ask him when was this loan taking out and how much for he said he didn’t have that information and I ask him who was the original company he said he could not provide that info but he had my husband ss# date of birth and id or license # so I ask him what was the license number and he gave it to me well I have my husband id and license number and I told him sorry that’s not his license or id# so he put me on hold and then came back on the phone and said I had to pay only with my bank account # I said no way who am I paying then he told me Recovery Services and I ask him to send me anything by email showing I owe this amount he send me e signature saying I will pay $798.16 then I see on the email the original creditors personal cash advance we have never taking a loan with them we don’t know who they are . I told him how do I know this is not pass statue of limitations that’s when he said no it was taking out in 2014 but at first he told me he didn’t have that information. I ask him how long do I have to before they take me to court he said well I thought you were going to make your decision now I said no I have to investigate this he said he would put this on hold until tomorrow by noon so call him by then I said ok. Well I call the FTC and got a reference # and also called CFPB and they also said it was scam and when I explain what this guy John told me they said there was a lot of red flags . And they are going to investigate this company
Can you please advise the contact information for the FTC and the CFPB. I just received the same call and I would like to report this as well.
john called me saying i was going to get papers. and go to jail if i didnt agree to make a payment of 2,074 but the company would take payments and dum me set it up. but today i found all these complaints saying its a scam. so i took my money out of the bank. and cut my card up and cancelled it. but he just call me saying payment didnt go though to call him. what should i do?
I just got a call today they told me they will be delivering papers to my address(legal) that was started 45 days ago. I am trying to figure out what this is about but he said something about a personal cash loan knew who I was working for back in 2010, and who I used to bank with. I assumed it was only one company it could be but I am skeptical in paying these people.
You should be skeptical.
Way out here in Hawaii and John Soriano from pinnical mediation also called me. He had a ton of personal information stating a civil claim was against me for the amount at $1500!! He also stated it was from a cash advance website from 2014. When I told him I needed to discuss this matter with my father in law since he is an attorney… he said “ right right” and hung up!
did u get papers?
This is the biggest scam ever. They are harassing my boyfriend saying they are calling regarding a loan he took out (which he never did). They say they are calling from Florida but have called from two different area codes in New York. I told him the next time he talked to them to have them call me because I work for attorneys and we will get this nipped in the bud real quick.
I have never recieved or applied for a personal cash advance loan now they are suppose to be holding my “social security number”. They have all my personal information as well as my bank information. What number can I call so that this harrassment can stop. They keep calling for a 842-374-1248; 284-369-2774; 585-638-1755; and 825-892-238911 (WHICH IS NOT EVEN A NUMBER)… PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!!
Thse people called me too – how do i get rid of them?
If it’s the scammers calling you then the ultimate way to stop them is to change your telephone number.

I just received a call from a Officer Jason Jersey Fraud Investigation (585-638-1756) and I had a lawsuit against me from the mother company Personal Cash Advance. He stated it was for 400. He first stated that it was back in Jan 2011. I told him I didn’t have an account then. Then he switched it to June of 2011. He had all my information. I have never taken a cash advance from this company. He said I would have the cops come to my house and that I need to get an attorney and go to NY to plead my case.
Did he have a heavy accent?
Yes the guy that I spoke to has a heavy accent. He told me that I borrowed money from personal cash advance in August,(which I have not), I know the company name that I borrowed money from. His phone # is 585-638-1755. He is very good with the threats of having a subpeona delivered to my home or place of business. He told me the total amount with court fees and all was 742.00. I have no idea how much the loan was actually supposed to be for.
did you go to jail?
My husband has been recieving phone calls from Vista Ca (caller ID) 760-666-5816 and the guy left a messege claiming to be from cash advance and that he was an officer and we needed to call him back within two hours. Only after receiving numerous calls did my husband call him back to inform him that we had NEVER taken out a loan from these people and we did not owe any money to them. He had his SS#, DOB, address, everything someone would need to scam you!! he claimed that we recieved money in the bank in Sept 2010 in the amount of $200.00 but that with all of the penalties and interest it was now $360.00. my husband told him to cease and desist and that he would be back in contact with him after he contacted his bank.
Of course my husband called the bank and there were no records of a cash advance in Sept 2010 or ever before that.
I will be in contact with the FCC, FTC, FBI, Police, and anyone else willing to listen.
BEWARE…… THESE PEOPLE ARE VEEEEERY CONVINCING, DON’T FALL FOR IT!!!!!!!

They’re “OFFICERS OF THE COURT” calling to collect! LMAO..right I told them my attorney uncle in NYC (where they’re supposedly located) would come by the court and get a copy of the documents apparently filed. They hung up on me at that point.

I just got a call from some woman with a reference number to call, when I called back, a man named Kenneth just started in with his speech about how I owed Personal Cash Advance $500. (How did he know anyhting without my reference #) I asked him this and he hung up on me. So I called back, he told me that he’s not supposed to give me any information, but that he would. he said that I’m not cooperating and so tomorrow as of 11 EST I’ll be behind bars, I’ll lose my job, I’ll lose my Driver’s lisence, my passport, and (get this) my US CITIZENSHIP! lol When I started asking questions, he hung up on me. Now he won’t answer! He was calling from 209-623-4682 His name was Kenneth. He said he was calling from the East coast of Deleware, on behalf of the NY Civil Crt Dept of Fraud. He’s a scammer!!! BEWARE!

I borrowed $300.00 and paid back $735.00. You have got all the money you are going to get from me. You can call and threaten all you want, but in the end you are going to get yours. God bless you and have a nice day. RCW

what the hell have i done to myself. i borrowed 400 dollars from these people and i’m now on my 5th interest payment of 106.00 dollars that’s like 530.00 dollars. it’s insane. what the hell to i do to this vampire away from my bank account?
Received a call from a Mr.Scott and then a lady named Erica stating they were from New York Civil Court and there was a lawsuit pending from the personal cash advance, which I never took a loan from. The number they called me from was 646 434 2472 but when it comes up on caller ID it is all 0’s. I knew exactly who I had taken loans from and have paid them off. I knew they had to be scam artist. I was threaten that they would call my job and tell them I had committed fraud and try to have me arrested.
I called them back today to verify information to make sure I had not taken loans out with them and I had not. They are trying to get banking information from you to break into your account….
Please make sure you keep records of the loans you have taken out and know your right. They can not file a civil suit against you if you don’t live in that state.
Kim,
Not to worry. It sounds like the same trick I wrote about in my article Frightening Calls From Fake Debt Collectors Threaten People With Jail for Payday Loans. It’s a Scam.

I never received a cash advance from personalcashadvance. They called my sister today, June 17,2010 and threatened her. The man told her that she and I were going to be arrested tomorrow. He went on to call her and me whore bitches. she did an envelope look up on her cell phone and found out the number they called from. I don’t know why they are saying that I took out a loan, but, call my sister. I would put my phone number on my application; not hers. I have received no calls and can’t get with them on the number supplied to her. This company is trying to prey on the less fortune and threaten us with jail and law suits. My sister also ask them why they were able to continue to call her even though she put on a no call list. They said that because the are international, the national no call lists did not apply.
