My mom was stupid enough to answer the effing phone and answered to a guy with a very thick spanish or middle eastern accent that didn’t even have the correct name of the person who lives here at first. [FIRST DUMB EFFING MISTAKE!] Then the guy tells her about this loan for $500 that she has been approved for [SECOND DUMB EFFING MISTAKE!]. My mom was sooo desperate for only 500 dollars, that she fed into this scam just from so random guy calling her without a referal or even a correct name. This guy took her to the website where she filed out basically ALL of her personal information down to her name, address, social security number and credit card number [THIRD DUMB EFFING MISTAKE!]. She was on the phone for like an hour before she even asked the guy about this whole “loan business” or whatever. She asked him questions about the company and all after she submitted ALL her information and they have it sumitted and finalized on her part so there was no way to erase it [FOURTH DUMB EFFING MISTAKE]. I told her time and time again but she did any of this to just hang up the phone because all of this is sketchy for only 500 dollars, come on now! The guy could hardly be understood, he wasn’t giving direct answers and he called out of nowhere and if you call the number back it won’t even ring. I don’t understand, she is a grown woman, what’s so hard about freaking hanging up the phone as soon as he pitched the whole thing. It’s stupid, this is like the fourth time she has done something comparable to this. Ughhh, now she all regrets, since it’s almost payday for her and her money comes on her card. But, she has given all her info to those “scammers” like a lil’ fool. And she is freaking out, but I told her, I mean I am 17, and she is almost 50, she knows nothing about the internet world, and she should had freaking took my word for it and just hung up. Ahhh, now shes stressed and so am. If she were to cancel her credit card, her money would come on a check about a week or two later, which isn’t good because she needs to pay the bills and also get us ready for school. The website is called: MyCashPickUp.com <— any info on this site. I can’t find anything and I told my mom like 10 times to look it up before she did anything. But I guess she was desperate for just ONLY 500 bucks that she would take out a loan via internet. SMH. Help!!!

Does anyone have any suggestions for personal loans, unsecured or secured, for people with bad credit?
I need to put my car in the shop for repairs today but can’t seem to find any legit places to get a personal loan with a bad credit history. The previous entries from others containing similar questions all have bad links from suggested websites.
Also, I’m sick of these payday advance websites. Although I have used them before, the last time I applied for one, it was a scam. It seems like every site I search and come across now is for a payday advance.
I just need to get emergency cash and rebuild my credit at the same time. I have no family or friends that are able to help. Does anyone have any ideas for obtaining emergency cash with a quick turn-around of funds?
Is Law Group of California a legitimate law firm with reputable lawyers?
I recently received a phone call from a representative of this company saying I owed money due to payday loans I had received some months ago. They were willing to “work out a settlement” that I pay them $500 on 10/22/10 followed by $496.46 on 10/29/10. I am unsure if this is scam operation as I was put on hold and transferred numerous times before speaking with Brandon Walton, “restitution manager”. Please email me your response as soon as possible before I proceed further and lose $996.46. Thank you.

unkown collection agency tries to charge my card?
early yesterday morning an a company called “I-collect” tried to charge 550$ to my card. My freshman year of college I gave some information to some payday loan companies but was declined, however I still recieve harassing calls from these Indian people claiming to be federal agents and threatening arrest. This is not usually a problem because its clearly a scam and i enjoy wasting their time, but I’ve never had anyone attempt charging my card. The lady from visa fraud prevention told me the company was called “i-collect” and gave me the number 888 328 5386. After doing some research I learned this company MAY be assosciated with some of the Ted Ellis Crosby companies. The problem is that the number is discontinued or something and I have no way of contacting them to figure out what the deal is. Does anyone have any information on “I-collect”? or had a similar experience?
Is there a way to get my money back after Ive been scammed over the phone?
I had a call claiming they were from ACS American Credit Solutions or somthing. They had my last four digits of my social my bank account information and more… they claimed I owed money from a payday loan I took it out awhile ago.So, becuase of that I believed them. They were saying the creditor was pressing charges against me etc. I gave them 600.00.
I did some research ( which I should have done before) and found some other complaints of this so called company that it was a scam.
Can I get mymoney back somehow!!??!!
US Bank calling, harrassing, threatning me?
I received a call from someone saying that unless I paid them for a payday loan that I would be going to jail in 24 hrs. I told them they needed to send me something in the mail validating this debt and they refused. I know this is all a scam as I have researched it. They keep calling my cell phone every 30 seconds. The icing on the cake is this-He read off my SS# and said since I was not complying..he was going to take out 5 loans in my name.
What do I do????
Let me also add this
They are calling from a restricted number and they refuse to give me a number. I have spoken with the attorney generals office and they confirmed this is a scam.
To those who have told me to pay my bill….I have paid off all of my bills. 3 years ago, I took out a payday loan over the internet. I paid it off (I have proof). I don’t know if my info was sold or what.
How to rate a BK attorney and find a good one that will work hard for you?
We fell on some devistating hard times due to illness, medical bills, ect ect ect. After our only vehicle got repossessed we sifted through hours and hours of online and phonebook ads for bad credit loans to attempt to borrow some money so we can get vehicle back. Seems either they’re all payday loans of small amounts that aren’t big enough to do any good with insane interests or just total scams. Its been exhausting and very depressing. So now we realize that the only answer is to file for chapter 13.
Just as overwhelming is trying to find a good BK lawyer. How do you sift through all the generic ads to find a good one? We don’t have a lot of time for testimonials as we’ll have 3 business days to find one and get working to save what little we have left.
