I have received 2 emails from a person named Thomas Allen, He claims to be a lawyer and working for Cash Advance USA. He states I owe Cash Advance USA 1288.56 dollars and this includes late fees, Penalty, Affidavit charges, and rate of interest charges. He says the original loan was 400.00. HE is offering 3 settlement offers.
1 300.00 if paid today
2 550.00 if paid within this week
3 150.00 every month
There are farther legal consequences if I don't pay.
1 Lawsuit filed under several sections
2 Your employer will be informed
3 Credit bureau will be notified
4 References will be informed
5 Day in court
6 Garnishment of your pay Check
Mode of payment is a One Vanilla Prepaid Visa Debit Card or an American Express Card
Me Allen then states to let him know my option to pay. There is no Phone number, or address. I just have the email as attorneyforcollectiondept@ gmail.com. He signs the email as Manager, Cash Advance USA.

SCAM - no REAL law firm has a gmail account especially one that asks for a Vanilla pre paid card. SO typical scam - I get these emails all the time.

It is a VERY OLD scam. Ignore him, or better yet, demand ALL paperwork you signed. You will never hear from him again. Above all, SEND HIM NOTHING!
