Complaint Review:
200Cash.com
200Cash.com I applied for a loan but never heard from them to approve me or denie me.I received a phone call from an aggressive man telling me I owe them money for a loan I never received.They attemted to take $6 Wilmington, Delaware
I went online and ordered a greendot prepaid debit card.I activated it on 02/13/2011.I had never put any money on that card.Around the end of February I applied for a loan with a company 200Cash.I never received an email of approval nor denial.I never received a phone call of approval nor denial.So I assumed they weren't interested in giving me a personal loan.I never heard anything from them nor did I try to contact them again.Then on 03/10/2011 I was contacted on my home phone by a foreign man that called himself Jack Auftin.I could barely understand what he was saying because his accent was really bad.He was very hateful,disrespectful and rude.He said I owed 200Cash (The loan company) money.He never told me how much the loan was for.He told if I would go to Walmart and purchase a temporary greendot card and put $520 on it that all the "charges pending would be dropped".
As a matter of fact when he called he asked "Can I speak with" and said my name.I said "this is she". The first words out of his mouth was calling off all my personal information.My birthdate and social security# and my address and both of my email address's.Thats when he told me what it was over and what he wanted me to do.He said I had one hour to get him the money.Well I checked my credit card account and the company did make an attempt to collect $19.00 on 02/24/2011.But my credit card company denied it because they do not allow ACH Transfers.He called back in one hour and I told him I was not sending him any money because I never received a loan.He started yelling at me and threatening me and even called me a f***ing b***h.The next morning I got on my computer and looked at my account again on 03/11/2011 the company 200Cash had tried to take $44 out but my bank declined that due to the fact they dont accept ACH Transfers.
That was weird because he called me to tell me about this the day before 03/10/2011.I had my account frozen.Now I keep getting harrassing phone calls from him and different people who claim to be an Officer of some kind and tell me I will have to go to court and threatening me and my family.I used my friend,mother and sister as a reference and they call them leaving message after message.They shouldnt be calling my family.They have taken this way to far and I have even thought about suing them for trying to extort money and telephone harrassment.I have told them over and over they will not get any money out of me.I want to have something done about this.One day they call from one phone number and the next day its different.When this Jack guy calls he always yells and shouts out threats.Please help me with this issue.I dont know what to do.

I take from your report that already know this is a scam. You have also already alerted your bank and had your account frozen, good. The next step would be to watch your credit reports very closely to make sure he doesn't try to post anything there. You can also try contacting your bank again and ask about getting your account number and card number changed so you can use your account again.
I would also suggest that, in the future, if you need a payday loan, and only as a last resort, you go to a local office and do everything in person. Most of the online companies anymore are nothing but scams.
Now on the fun part. Here's what I did to get him to stop calling me. I have unlimited minutes on my phone. What I did is call him repeated. In one sitting, I called him 20 times in under 30 minutes. Eventually, he will stop. The only other thing you can do is change your phone number.
