I consider this spam
January 27, 2016

They keep phoning 'Kyle' at my phone number insisting that he call Joanna. About once a week, maybe more. I consider this spam.

I do not know what to do
January 20, 2016

I received an e-mail from Cash Advance (Speedy Cash) indicating they were going to take me to court for a balance on a loan which, I do not remember doing at all.

They are requesting I make a payment asap or they are seeking further action. I e-mail them back and indicated they need to send me proof I did indeed apply successfully for this loan. I'm still awaiting there response. I do not know what to do in the meantime.

This # was a scam
November 16, 2015

received call from a guy named Steve Jones ext. 119 stated I was approved for a loan for $ 5000.00. all I had to do was sent 241.00 via money gram to Layne Henderson in California for insurance. I did, He called back saying that he had tried 3 times to transfer the money in my account and that it would not let him, He said that I need to send 450.00 for activation fee for the cards one for 200.00 and 200.00 and 50.00, I did and he say that he got 250.00 but did not get the other 200.00.

I went to the store where I purchased the cards and they called money gram and said that all 3 cards were picked up. I call him back and he said that he did not get it. I call Advance America and she told me that it was a Scam that you never have to pay money to receive money and they do not loan $ 5000.00. She advise me to file a report about this.

This man (Steve) keeps calling me saying that I would have to pay the 200.00 more to get my loan and when I do call him. then he said that I owed state to state taxes of $1100.00. I told him he was full of $$$$. I told him that he was a scam artist and that he might have got me but no more. I ask for my money back and he told me that I did not complete the process and when I did I would get all money that I had invested plus the $5000.00.

the # 347-836-4898 and I also get a recorded message from # 347-779-0958 and when I called this # back Steve answered the phone and I told him that I was still getting calls from here even after I told them to stop and he told me that this # was a scam. I said well it came from you. he processed to get mad at me and I told him that I was going to check into getting to the bottom of this and he said that if I sued that they would sue me for not forfilling my part. I told him that I had not signed anything and had not agreed to any terms and the he said that he was leaving the office and that he would call me back the next day with the information as how to get the money. I told him not to call me again and that I hoped that went he went home that he did not sleep a bit for what he was doing to people.

Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me, I ask for a physcial address and he said that I had it in my email that he sent me. I have not to this day received any email not my money back

October 27, 2015

I just got a call from a man by the name is Steve Jones( NY #) he said I was approved for 5000.00 but I had to pay $250 because my credit was it 750. Right away I knew it was a scam, he sounded very unprofessional they are using s legit company's name. I called them back and I told them they were scam artists. I also told them to find jobs. Please don't send money to borrow money.

These people are scam artist but they didn't get me, but they tried their best.... Be careful people

Wish I checked first
September 21, 2015

I got a call from "alex" stating that i was approved for 1000 loan, and before they could transfer it to my bank account how much per month could I afford to pay it back. I said 150. I was then transferred to his supervisor "eric" (btw both heavy Indian accents) who said because of my credit score , I would have to put 150 on a "reloadit" prepaid card as security that he could verify In case i ever missed an installment. I said I can authorize my bank to pay the monthly payments.

He said they cant do that again because of my credit rating. Yes, sounded odd to me but i went and bought the card. He asked me for the # on the card so he could verify that 150 was on it and as soon as he did that the 1000 would be in my bank account within 3 hours. He then told me NOT to call and check the balance on this prepaid card. I thought $#^!!!! I started shaking , said ok and hung up.

I immediately called the card and put a block on it. Its gonna take me 30 days to get my money back but at least I smartened up in time to prevent these thieves from getting it. Then I went online to check reviews and saw the numerous warnings of this scam. Wish I checked first. That old saying is good advice- if it sounds too good to be true....

Shame on them
September 10, 2015

Today, I received an Email from [email protected]. This email had an attachment with it. When I opened the attachment, I thought my prayers were being answered. It was an approval letter from a company Advance America. It had an Approval number, an amount of $5000, Loan terms of 18 months, Monthly payment $305.00, Interest rate 10%, and it was all on nice company letter head. See my wife has been out of work for the last 2 months after an emergency surgery on her uterus. Money is tight and bills are behind. We are desperate.

This sounded great. I called the number listed to Verify my acceptance,716-810-6912,A Man, by the name of Robert Carter, answered the phone. After verifying all m information with him, he gave me a 4 digit # and said it was my account number with them. He then preceded to tell me that the money should be in my account within the hour. I thanked him and hung up.

Relief was in sight I thought. I waited 3 hours and nothing. I finally called the number back and Robert answered again. When I asked what was going on with the money, he told me that I was not going to get the money because my credit score was no good. DAAAA... that's why I was trying for a cash advance. If I wanted to get the money, I would have to pay them an Insurance fee. After asking to speak with a manager, A women got on the phone and started to say the same crap the this Robert guy was.

When I told them that I was not interested and that they had better not touch anything in my account, he told me that "he was going to take all my money and I had better change my pin quick." VERY UNPROFESSIONAL... This company is a huge scam that is praying on people that have fallen on hard times. Shame on them. Please beware.

Don't send these crooks any money
August 19, 2015

We got a phone call today from an Indian man saying he would give us a $5,000 loan if we would send him $250.00 first. We started laughing and then told him we knew it was a scam and so then he hangs up.

These people are trying hard to steal people's money. He said he was from www.AdvanceAmerica.com Please be careful everyone don't send these crooks any money.

Scam or Not?
April 1, 2015

Has anyone got a call from 954-354-9348 Advance America Loan Company? I did and also received an email saying I was approved for $5000.00 and to call Christoher Johnson to finalize my loan. I got a loan approval from them explaining their policy and how they work etc. It didn't seem legit so I hung up.

I stopped using Advance
January 13, 2015

I remembered why I stopped using Advance, paid loan by check, cleared bank and now I have to wait 14 days because of some lengthy clearing process by Advance. It doesn't take that long for any check to clear. I can't go to the bank and withdraw the funds for Advance.

Julio is the only asset you have working for Advance. I understand the policy and Julio was very understanding about how this effects the customer. Thank goodness, my payday will be closer than you clearing a check that the bank cleared.

Great way to lose a customer for good.

On top of that, you get a check instead of cash when you apply for a loan. Why pay with cash? You never have enough cash to serve your customers. Guess my loan will be a permanent paid in full.
