Amscot - The Money Superstore

"Though there are some problems with how much certain staff can cash a check for it'spretty much on and out. They only get attitudes when given attitudes in my experience"

"It is 8:25pm the time online and the time on the door says they close at 9:00pm they guy refuse to open the door and tells me their close poor service. Great employees you all have."

"What a horrible place. I walked in here just to buy a SunPass and had a few papers to fax for an insurance issue so I said what the hell, lets see if I can knock out two birds with one stone. I was informed they want $3 for the first page and $1 for each additional page. LOL. So ok forget that, how about just buying a SunPass, well they only accept cash payment, my AMEX card is no good for them. But I can happily remove money for an additional couple of bucks from their cleverly placed in building ATM with AMSCOT transaction fees. I'm pretty free market, but this kind of business just helps keep poor people poor by nickle and diming them to death. Seriously cant wait to hear places like this get shut down or regulated to the point they cant survive. What a scam."

"I handed the idiot my Verizon bill and he asked my if I wanted to buy a money order. I said "no, I want to pay my Verizon bill" He then asks me if I want to pay my Verizon Wireless bill. (Remember, I said that I handed him the bill) I say "It's actually Verizon Internet." He mumbles something to the guy next to him, the other guy waves me over and asks if I have ever paid this bill here before, because he can't find anything in their system. Yes, I have paid the bill there before and the guys can never figure it out, but the women have absolutely no problem at all. SHEESH!! Unfortunately those two clowns were the only employees in the place right after 7 PM on a Saturday."

"Potential Cash Advance Fraud and Embezzlement I am a self-employed contract worker with Uber. I make at least $500/week as an Uber driver. Since I make a lot in just a short amount of time, I try to refrain from overexerting my car and having low gas. On April 28, 2017, I emailed them my pay statements of 24 pages worth, but only 23 pages they would have needed to calculate my earnings. The pay statements consists of March 28, 2017 through April 15, 2017. Before going in I had calculated my earnings to see that it was at least over $500, I was sure I would be able to receive at the most $500. I really only needed $470 for my Rent of $467. I was not asked of how much I needed at all. While I filled out two forms that were given to me, I noticed the Amscot employee behind the work island going through papers. She proceeded to come back to my window to "calculate" my pay statements. She wrote down '$461.58', and I knew that she calculated it wrong. Then, she pretended to "double check" it. I had hoped she would see her clerical errors, but proclaimed the amount as '$461.58' by circling it. She ended up calling someone I'm sure to see if I was approved for the cash advance, but was being very stealthy by avoiding herself of being overheard on the phone by me. She gave me the 'Notice of Action Taken, Statement of Reason(s), and Counteroffer' form. On the form it says 'we regret to inform you that we cannot conduct the transaction on the terms you requested for the following reasons' and marked 'Income-Income Insufficient for transaction requested', but 'We can, however, offer to conduct a transaction with you for the reduced amount of $50.00'!!! After seeing this sheet, I did not sign! I asked for the printouts of my pay statements. She told me they needed it for their records, but she could make me copies. She came back from making copies, and I witnessed her throwing away some papers that were similar to my copies in the trash out of view of the cameras. I immediately came home to double check the printouts given to me to see if it added up to the amount she calculated and circled. Even though the copies I received added up to the price she written and circled, it did not add up to the amount of ALL the pay statements I emailed. I double check to see what pages were missing on my Uber Employee pay statements. I found that 4 pages ($81.17) were not in the stack of copies given to me. Then, I checked to see if I may have overlook in emailing those 4 missing pages, but they were accounted for in the email. However, they were not accounted for in the amount she wrote down of '$461.58'. Since there were no copies missing from the email I sent, she would have calculated, written, and circled '$542.75'. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, but all my calculations, witnessing, and proof did not back her up. I feel that not only was this woman preventing me from getting the amount I deserved based off my pay statements, but committed an illegal act by tossing documents that would have benefit in me earning my rightful amount in cash advance. In doing so, she intentionally withheld 4 pages of pay statements in the cost of ($81.17). I called Amscot Corporation telling everything in my findings on a recorded line, and I asked if they could help me understand how they do their calculations. They did not try to help me come to a conclusion and was very unhelpful. I will be bringing light into this matter. I have consulting a lawyer that deals with this matter of embezzlement, and will take this to the state. Unless there's an investigation done at the location 7501 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32807, there will continue to be fraudulent and embezzlement work by your crooked employees. I just went in to get a cash advance to cover my rent, but I couldn't accept what was offered and conspired in front of me. They can't argue to say it was based of my credit score because 'No Credit Checks' is used in Cash Advance at Amscot."
