FTC sues online payday loan company
The TV ads were enticing and convincing: With just a few clicks online, a $1,500 payday loan could be yours.
Short on cash during the Christmas holidays, Sacramentan Inez Hackett logged on and got an immediate loan, deposited straight into her bank account.
She also got months of withdrawals she never authorized. By the time Hackett complained last year, more than $800 in payments had been siphoned out of her bank account. The amount of her initial loan: $250.
Like Hackett, thousands of consumers nationwide are believed to have been fleeced by an organized group of payday loan websites, which in numerous cases tripled loan payments by fraudulently taking withdrawals from customers’ bank accounts, according to federal investigators.
This week, the Federal Trade Commissionfiled suit against the parent company, AMG Services Inc., which ran about 15 payday loan websites, with names such as OneClickCash.com, 500FastCash.com and UnitedCashLoans.com.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
Some fraudsters have instructed victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain amount, on a specific date, via a pre-paid Visa card. The statement further declares the victim will never dispute the debt.
If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller’s instructions. Rather, you should:
