moneynowusa.com Blue Global Media Proof that I took out a loan and was sending to the courts houston, Internet
Received a call from Sam Parker (heavy accent) stating that I accepted a 600.00 loan from moneynowusa. I informed him that I did not, and he kept insisting that I he had proof. I kept asking him what I did wrong as he never stated that I owed any money just that he had proof and that he would send to the courts. When I told him to fax me the "proof" he stated he would do that in 1 hour without having or asking me for a fax number. He fumbled thru his word when I asked him to send me proof and even fumbled worse when I told him that I would have my lawyer contact him.
He gave me a contact phone number which I called back and after 10 - 15 rings a man with a heavy accent answered "hello". When I try to call the number on my called ID 714-685-2358 all you get is a busy signal. I have tried the "contact" number 281-846-3874 several times since and it either rings and rings or dead air.
The scary part is he had the last 4 digits of my social. I have reported this to the credit bureaus and my bank as well.

Blue Global Reponse re MoneyNow scam
#2UPDATE Employee
Wed, February 08, 2012
This response is posted by Blue Global Media, the company
that operates MoneyNowUSA.com.
Several months ago Blue Global became aware of a scam whereby victims would receive phone calls from someone identifying himself as an employee of Blue Global and/or MoneyNowUSA.com. This person (who is usually a male with a heavy Indian accent) typically states that the victim obtained a loan from MoneyNowUSA several months ago and that the funds are overdue and must be
repaid immediately. The caller demands that a relatively small sum typically less than $600.00 be paid by credit card immediately to settle the matter or make it go away. If the victim refuses to pay, the caller threatens to file criminal charges and/or civil lawsuits.
This is a scam. The person on the phone is not a representative of Blue Global or MoneyNowUSA.com. On the contrary, the person on the phone is a scam artist believed to be operating overseas. Please do not send any money to these individuals. Blue Global does not issue loans and would never contact anyone to demand payment.
Blue Global has reported the matter to police and is pursuing criminal charges against the responsible individuals. At this time, Blue Global is not aware of anyone actually sending money to the scam artists. Blue Global encourages anybody who receives such a call to report the scam to their local law enforcement agency. Please feel free to cross reference the report Blue Global filed with the Scottsdale Police Department, report no. 11-09455, and the report Blue Global filed with the Federal Trade Commission, report no. 30264644.
If anyone is contacted by these scam artists, it is possible that their personal information may have been compromised. The evidence developed to date suggests that the scam artists obtained personal information from an electronic database, but at this time Blue Global has no information as to whose database it was or what information was taken. At this time there is no evidence that Blue Globals database has been breached.
Because the victims personal information may have been compromised, Blue Global encourages anyone who receives such a call to protect themselves against identity theft and other financial loss. You should review account statements, monitor your credit, and remain vigilant. Additionally, U.S. residents are entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order your free credit report, please visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll-free (877) 322-8228.
You should also report the incident to the three major credit bureaus. U.S. residents can have the three major credit bureaus place a free "fraud alert" on your credit file that alerts creditors to take additional steps to verify your identity prior to granting credit in your name. This may make it more difficult for someone else to obtain credit in your name. However, it may also delay your ability to
obtain credit while the agency verifies your identity. As soon as one of the three credit bureaus
confirms your fraud alert, it will notify the other bureaus to place a fraud alerts on their respective credit files. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, or should you have any questions
regarding your credit report, please contact one of the agencies listed below:
