Watch out for Debt-Collection Scams

Scammers send out illegal, fraudulent debt-collection communications falsely claiming to represent lenders like Speedy Cash. These communications can be calls or emails, and they’re not sent by Speedy Cash or any of our affiliates.

Warning signs for debt-collection scams

It might be a scam if the caller or sender...

  • threatens violence, criminal, or legal action
  • demands immediate payment
  • refuses to give you info about the debt, like the amount
  • comes from a personal email account like Gmail, AOL or Outlook
  • domain doesn’t include “Speedy Cash”, “Speedy Inc”, or “Rapid Cash“
  • gives you fake case numbers or amounts you don't recognize
  • threatens to send information to your boss or references
  • threatens to confiscate all your salary and/or wages
  • uses profane language or incorrect English
  • is overly aggressive or rude


Watch out for Loan Scams

Scammers falsely claiming to represent Speedy Cash ask consumers to load money onto a prepaid card, purchase money orders, or send funds using MoneyGram or Western Union to get a loan. They might tell you to prepay a “fee” (like an application fee or an administrative fee) or “taxes” for a loan. They might even use the Speedy Cash name, logo and mailing address.

Warning signs for loan scams

It might be a scam if the caller or sender...

  • asks for payment in advance
  • requires funds to be loaded onto a prepaid card
  • requires the purchase of money orders
  • requires funds to be sent via MoneyGram or Western Union
  • sends you loan documents when you have not applied for a loan
  • sends you unsolicited emails

We're on your side. We can help you file a police report and a complaint at www.IC3.gov.
