Can there really be anyone left on earth who would fall for this scam?

Do you mean the scam where they try to get your financial information on a
pretext of giving you a payday loan, or do you mean the scam where they
actually do give you a payday loan but then charge astronomically-high
interest rates so that it's near impossible to ever pay it off when you're
obviously already struggling?

Cause it could be either, although I guess it's probably the former.

I requested their physical address and phone number. Guess they are
still trying to figure out where they are.

By the way, that same question throws off a lot of telemarketers.

It's funny that you guys mention a physical address. I went to this
website to see if it was legit. And it is, and It was very
informative. I went to their contact us page and found a physical
address.

I did some investigation and was pleased with the services. They
answered all of my questions. The Illinois Financial Services is on
the up-and-up.

Anyone else should check out the website for yourself. I did.

Now that's funny - a gmail / google group poster who sides by a spammer.

They are like the Lyndon LaRouche people. They are only allowed to
work in pairs.

Absolutely or they wouldn't bother doing it...

mean well in their
attempt to give their view of the payday loan system and their
feedback both positive and negative is welcome.

The Dirty Dozen
The FTC has identified its "Dirty Dozen". These are the twelve scams
most likely to arrive via bulk e-mail or in newsgroups. Here are the
"dirty dozen" and a brief explanation of why each is a scam:

Business Opportunities Scams:
These offers make it sound like it is very easy to start a business
that will earn piles of money without much work, selling or cash. Many
of these "opportunities" are actually illegal pyramid schemes or
frauds that are masquerading as legitimate opportunities to earn
money.

Make Money by Sending Bulk E-mail:
These solicitations offer to sell you bulk e mail lists (consisting of
millions of e mail addresses), spam software (usually very poor in
quality), or services to send spam on your behalf. Don't do this.

Chain Letters:
No list of scams would be complete without this old "favorite" - e
mail style. Here you're asked to send a small amount of money (or some
item) to each of four or five names at the top of the list, and then
forward the message including your name at the bottom, via bulk e
mail. Many of these letters claim they are legal - they are not.
Further, nearly everyone who participates in these chain letters loses
money. Even if there is a "product" such as a report on how to make
money, it does not make these schemes legal.

Work-At-Home-Schemes:
The most common work-at-home scam promises that you'll earn money for
stuffing envelopes. For example, you're promised you'll earn $2.00 for
every envelope you stuff. In fact, there never is any real envelope
stuffing employment available. Instead, you pay to register and then
you're instructed to send the same envelope-stuffing ad via bulk e
mail to others. The only money you can earn would come from others who
fall for the scam and pay to register. Finally, if you did actually do
work for one of these outfits (for example, some promise to pay you
for craft work), they'd refuse to pay you and say your work didn't
measure up to their "quality standards."

Health And Diet Scams:
These are similar to the miracle cures offered off-line: ways to lose
weight without eating less or exercising, "scientific breakthroughs,"
"secret formulas" which provide cures for hair loss, and herbal
formulas that liquefy fat cells so that they are absorbed by your
body. These scams often include testimonials from "famous" medical
experts you haven't heard of. Of course, these gimmicks don't work.

Effortless Income:
The newest version offers get-rich-quick schemes to make unlimited
profits exchanging money on the world currency markets. There are lots
of variants, but they all promise vast riches with no work. Beware of
these scams.

Free Goods:
These offers promise expensive items such as computers... for free.
They ask you to pay a fee to join, and then you have to bring in a
certain number of other members. Many of these scams are just
disguised pyramid schemes.

Investment Opportunities:
These scams promise outrageously high returns...and of course, there
is "no risk." Many of these scams are illegal Ponzi schemes, in which
early investors are paid with the money from later investors. This
gives the early investors the illusion that the system works and they
are then encouraged to invest more money (which they eventually lose).
The sales pitches for these offers include claims of high-level
financial connections, that the promoters are privy to inside
information, or promises that they'll guarantee the investment. The
promoters are long gone if you try to take advantage of their
"guarantees."

Cable De-Scrambler Kits:
These scams offer kits or information on how to receive cable
transmissions without paying any subscription fees. There are two
problems with these offers: 1) the kits and information don't work;
and 2) even if they did work, it is illegal to steal service from
cable television companies. Further, many cable companies have
aggressively been prosecuting cable service theft.

Guaranteed Loans or Credit, or Easy Terms Scams:
There are lots of variants of this scam: home equity loans that don't
require any equity in your home, loans regardless of your credit
history, offshore bank loans, credit cards regardless of your credit
history, etc. Sometimes these offers are combined with pyramid schemes
that offer to pay you for attracting other participants to the scheme.
However, they are scams - the loans don't come through, you are turned
down unless you meet stringent requirements, or the credit cards
simply don't arrive.

Credit Repair Scams:
These scams promise to erase accurate negative information from your
credit file so that you can now qualify for loans, mortgages, or
credit cards. The promoters of these scams cannot deliver. Further, if
you follow their advice and lie on a loan or credit application,
misrepresent your Social Security number, or get an Employer
Identification number from the Internal Revenue Service under false
pretenses, you will be committing fraud and violating federal laws.
Don't fall for this scam.

Vacation Prize Promotions:
Last, but not least, is a scam in which you receive electronic
verification congratulating you because you've "won" a fabulous
vacation, or you've been "specially selected" for this opportunity.
The "deluxe cruise ship" may well be more like a tugboat, upgrades can
be very expensive, and hotel accommodations are likely to be very
shabby.

The punch line... which you've heard from us many times before... If
it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Further, don't buy
anything via bulk e-mail (spam). Your chances of being scammed are
astronomical.
