(925) 309-6198

I received a message at work stating that I needed to call immediately or I would be subpeoned at work.  I called the number back and attempted to communicate with a man with a very difficult to understand Indian accent.  He told me that I was under su****ion of money laundering and that my employer had been contacted about these charges.  He had personal banking information and references names I had used for a payday loan in the past.  He would not tell me when this loan was taken out, or the name of the bank that issued it.  He continued to threaten me and wished me "good luck" if I didn't do what he said.

On Tuesday, I received a message from a man with a very heavy Indian accent named "Mike Anderson". He insisted he was an attorney for the legal department of InstaCash USA and that we call 1-559-921-2501. I called him back and he informed me that I had three charges a***nst me from InstaCash: one count of forgery, one count of violation of federal banking regulations, and one of theft by deception. They gave me my son's name, my daughter in law's name, my bank account number, and my SSN in attempt to "validate" themselves. After this, I called my bank, and they had no idea what was going on; I then called InstaCash and they told me that I had no previous account with them. I also checked all my checks from my past five checkbooks - I had not written any checks to InstaCash. I called "Mike" back to ask him to fax me information on this case, or to give me the number of the supposedly fraudulent check, and they refused, saying they would fax it "in a couple of days". Then I called, a***n, asking for the state location and the name of the business - the only info they would give me was 'the legal department of InstaCash USA (a***n).Finally, after some Internet research, I found several sources like this that verified that this was a scam. Relieved, my daughter and I called "Mike" back, and proceeded to tell him he was busted, that he could do nothing worthwhile, and that we would be reporting him. He ***g up, and we gave him a taste of his own medicine by calling him back: He proceeded to tell me "B***h, look what we can do now!" and then called our house phone ... from our house phone, according to the caller ID. Big deal.We have two different cell numbers from these men on the caller ID: 301-905-6509 and 301-332-8078.Hope this information helps everyone else.

I received a call from 542-222-4311 on 2/26 from Jason O Conners, stating I had defaulted on  a loan with InstaCash and I was going to be arrested for several charges including wire fraud and money laundering etc.  That I called them back in time to make arrangements for my balance.  I was absolutely terrified and since I had taken out payday loan before I****umed this was legit.  Well to make a long story short it wasnt.  I researched this and found that this has happened to many people over the last week.  I did buy a prepaid visa and give them the number but I never activated the card.  When i confronted them this morning tell them that I never borrowed money from them, I was going to call the FBI, FTC and a family friend was a Federal Court Judge, and I wasnt paying them.  He said have a nice day and ***g up.  I am a good person and these as*hol*s prey on people is wrong.  This person jason o conners had a heavy indian accent.

I received the same calls with same type of behaviors from the same telephone numbers 1-323 -204-3033 and telefax #s 347-823-2158 and 646-786-4435.  The 1st time was about a month ago 1/13/10 from a Harry Brown who pased me to a Kevin Peterson. I thought maybe one payday loan pay off was missed. So I paid it $521.00 only to realize now that they are scammers. They, Instant Cash USA, actually came back a***n 2/11/10 stating my bank did not honor 2 additional payday loans totaling $1245.75.  I informed them I do not have any outstanding payday loans.  They made numerouse threats all the same threats as before and the same as many of you have stated. They will not give me any information.  The man that claims he is an attorney stated his name is Kevin Peterson.  I informed him that I was going to give this issue to my attorney. He refused to give me the name of the loan companys that he alleges I owe money to and refuses to give me the collection companies name or telephone number.  Then he ***g up on me! I did a thorough check of my records and I dod not have any outstanding payday loans.  I am going after Intant Cash USA for the $521.00 they scammed from me.  Does anyone have an address to Instant Cash.  My attorney needs to issue a cease and desist order.

I just received the same call saying the same thing.  I've been ****ing up their phone lines with calls trying to overload them all day.  The numbers I have are (323)510-2691 and (323)204-3033.

Received a phone message from a Crystal Davis from 714-006-6000 stating it was an urgent matter and I needed to get in touch with them immediately.  When I called the number back, I got a recording that the number was no longer in service.  Then I received a call from a Marcus Hewitt.  He stated that he was an Attorney from the Dep of Justice and that I had taken out a payday loan from Cash Connect in April 2009 and failed to repay it.  They said the loan was for $300 and with fees it was now $495.12.  I insisted that I had never taken out this loan.  He informed me that if I did not pay today by credit or debit that I would be arrested on my job on Monday morning. Marcus Hewitt proovided his badge #: 8911, and License #:5097130.  I told him I would get back to him.  He insisted I call back within the next 20 minutes or else.  Believeing this was a scam, I did some research and called back.  I spoke to Marcus Hewitt and asked if I could send a money order over night, he insisited no western union and no money order but provided me with the following address :  11701 S. LaCienega, Los Angeles, Ca 90045 anyway., because he wanted the money anyway he could get it. I informed him that I was going to make a police report and he ***g up quickly!

FRAUD:  Please read my story. 1-28-2010 My daughter was left a voice mail, threatening Jail, indicating she had 3 criminal federal charges a***nst her. She was told if she did not comply; then good luck.  The caller represented himself as Marcus Hewitt from the McGuagan Law Firm. He told her she had taken an internet loan for $350.00 from cashnet.usa on 4-1-2009 and didn't pay it back and now owed $944.77 (including interest, late fees and court fees) She was told she was being prosecuted by the Superior Court of Calif.  Gave us a case file # and an attorney name, Bexter *****g.  They had her SS# and knew who her bank was. My daughter insisted she had not taken a loan. As a mother wanting to help out her daughter, I called the phone number; it just sounded too odd and I wanted more information.  Several times I got a really fast busy signal.  Then it finally rang.  It was very easy to get information out of them, although I had to continuously tell them to talk slower, please repeat, and even spell words to me.  I don't know what accent they were speaking; I had difficulty understanding. I indicated to them that I wanted to help my daughter and they went as far as to tell me word for word to write them a letter, send a copy of my photo ID, my credit card, sign the letter with all this information, have it notorized etc.   I told them I would think about this and get back to them.   I googled the phone number and saw all the stories about this phone number I was shocked.   All the stories were exactly alike, other than the total amount due.   I called our local BBB and was advised the following.  First, to file a police report.  Then advised us to close her bank account and open a new one.  Also we have to have her SS# flagged for iden***y theft, contact the Federal Trade Commission a**** other things.  The BBB is sending us a packet that guides us what to do and how. If you get this call, it is FRAUD.  **** up.  Call your local BBB and follow their instructions.

I emailed instantcash usa today and asked them if my name was in thier system or if I had ever applied for a `loan with them - which I knew I had not. A very nice woman emailed me back and said my name was not in thier system. She said she had just gotten a phone call from someone who had been contacted by these scaming people...She called them back pretending to be the woman. They would give her no information. They are trying to collect for Insta cash usa...supposedly...not Instant cash usa. She said this is a fraudgelent scam. I called the number for insta cash usa got directed to a web site and tried to put in my info as a returning customer and of course there was no info to retrieve. These people are scammers...DO NOT PAY THEM ANY MONEY!!!!!

my call cam in back to back today The caller's name was Sean Wilson heavy accent broken english. Told me that i needed to call him back or suffer the consequences and then at the end he says GOD Bless

I got a call this morning and they asked for my husband.I talked to a guy name Nathan, said "they have a lawsuit on my husband and wants my husbands attorney info"? 1. I work for a collection agency (6yrs)and your can only call after 8am this call came in at 7am!! These people with accents are a WOT (waste of time)!!

This woman called me and told me that me and my parrents were facing money laundering and fraud charges. She was very threating and told me that we all faced serious charges. She identified her self as coming from a law office. She read me the last 4 dijits of somebody;s social security number claiming it was mine.Two days later a man called and said so****ig along the same lines as the lady.I have c****ed my e-mail address and am c****ing my phone number this week.I spoke to my family's lawyer and other trusted sources to find out this is an extortion scam.

Got two phone calls from these people today (sa****ay) 1 hour apart. The second time he calls back. I have my ***her who is an attorney answer the call. it was a guy with a heavy thick india accent named Nathan telling him I had a payday loan out two years ago with Insta Cash usa and I needed to pay him $914> My ***her told him I had no idea what he was talking about. He said he was going to send a summons to my work place. My ***her told him to go ahead and do what he needs to do and we would file and counter complaint. He tells my ***her what his so called attorney Number is ( like anyone tells someone that when they are collecting a debt) he asks my ***her for his. My ***her says he is not telling him so of course Mr. Nathan thinks he isn't an attorney. You cant go to jail for not paying a bill. All these guys want to do is threaten u with verbal abuse. Scare tactics. If it was a legit collector he would tell u who is was calling from, what the debt was and More importantly would send u a letter in the Mail!!!! Don't send these idiots any money. Who knows who they really are!!!

Total Scam, do not fall for their tactics. Received a message at home from a "Venus Johnson" saying if I did not call them back the second I received this message all she could wish me was good luck. Called back (as a joke) and spoke to "Marcus Hewitt". Told me I had 3 pending criminal charges a***nst me due to a payday loan that was not paid due to my bank account being closed. 1. I have no payday loans, 2. I have had the same bank account for 20 years. He proceeded to tell me I would be arrested on Monday at my work. I called his bluff and told him he was a scammer. He told me no, he was a "robber" and took money from people. He then went on to tell me how he loved my picture on Facebook and he wanted me to put on a red *** and put a photo up. NO JOKE. Do not call these people back!

I have been receiving calls a***n and a***n from the people that have this number threatening me and my friends and family so everytime they call I curse them the***** out cause they are a bunch of cowardly fraudsters and they try to scare you into giving them your info. Do not give them anything they are scammers who are trying to take your hard earned money,these people are real ****** they have a heavy accent which makes them hard to understand. I have been dealing with them for a couple weeks I just laugh at them cause they are dumb but don't be afraid of them they are not going to do anything. I think they are all *** but I hope everyone don't get fooled by these ignorant people.

I keep getting a phone call from an Attorney Gabriel and a Micheal Collins his pro legal. . . telling me that I took out a cash advance in February of 2009.  He gave me an account number that was for a checking account that was closed about 1 and 1/2 ago.  He told that he was going to send me papers and that I should have an attorney.  He told me that he emailed me six times and I asked him to send me the email a***n and he got mad.  I said to please fax me information about the account and I will gladly pay it.  He told me that he does not have that information in my file.  He just has the complaint.  I was always under the understanding that should have the complete file.  So he wanted me to type a letter that he read verbatum to me and have it notarized and faxed to him to withdrawl the balance from my credit card.I also asked him not to contact me at work and he told me that was impossible.

This is a scam! Tell them off if you have to. They've called and threatend me and told me "good luck" if I don't call back, too. They've asked for **** pictures in exc****e of money. Don't waste your time.

this number has called many times, no messages left.

This number comes up on my phone as 8 digts and they keep telling me that I owe some a payday loan in the amount of $300.00. If i do not pay they will take me to court and get there money that way and it will cost me $6,356. I asked them to fax me the information so that i could do a fraud report with my bank, and all they could say was it had not down load to there system yet it would be after 2:00pm. Then i spoke with a man named Kevin Peterson who said he was a lawyer for the company and that i was facing federal charges but when i said well let me call my lawyer on the other line they ***g up. They also have very heavy accents and are hard to understand. I have also tried to get in contact with instant cash but have had no luck with that either.

This number called me today from a number that has 8 digits,they left me a voicemail stating that is was urgent that I call them imediately if not I would be served with a warrant . I called them back and a Jason Dasey answered and he said that I had a loan from instant cash usa for 700 and I told him I never took out loan with that company and told me I was ****** so I cursed him out and told him if he ever called my phone I will give his name and number to the FBI.

they called me on my job. they also told me about a payday loan. but i didnt have any payday loans. they told me to tell it to the judge. his name was nathan then he told me i had to talk to a woman name angela. i googled the number on my cell phone. i saw it was afraud. i told them i had called the police i gave them their name and number. all of a sudden i hear the dial tone they ***g up on me.

Keep receiving calls from this number that are threatning if I do not call back but they are for someone else.  I cannot understand the name due to the heavey accent.

They called and left a voice mail at 7:33am that was very rude, and hard to understand through their thick Indian accent.  he said he was an attorney and that if I did not return his call immediately, that all he could say was "good luck".  I called back, and a Nathan price answered, refused to give any information and transferred me to "Marcus Hewitt".He took my phone number, then recited the last 4 digits of my  social security number.  He stated I had a defaulted payday loan for 350 dollars from "Instant Cash USA" and that I was being sued for 795.12.  He refused an address, and stated "You will pay the judge".  He stated he was with the "Department of Justice, McGougan's division".  This is obviously an attempt at extortion.The call comes in as "restricted", but the number they had me call back is 925-309-6198.  the number is provided by Time warner cable out of Danville, CA.
