My review of USAPaydayLoans

I had wanted my first reviews to be something witty and fun.  BUT then, someone tried to scam me.  So, I decided this one needs to be out there.

A few weeks ago, money was a little tight and we considered taking a payday loan to get us through.  So, I went online and found a company that looked good, filled out the application to see what they could offer.  I decided against taking the loan... BUT there wasn't really a way to tell them that.  People were calling me non-stop for a week.  My email was flooded with more spam than I have ever seen.  That's bad, but it got much worse!

Just when the emails and phone calls weaned off, I get a phone call from someone posing as a worker with the US Dept of Justice.  She claimed that a warrant had just been issued because I failed to pay back the payday loan I took.  She said that if I didn't pay it TODAY, they would be proceeding with the warrant.  I asked how this was tied to my name.  Then she spouted off my social security number, address and employer. 

I have contacted them, but they have yet to respond.
