Is this company legitimate?

Oh?

If so, what is their physical and web address?
and ... why are you answering a month old question?
and ... does "VA" mean "Virginia" or "Veteran's Administration" or something else?
... once you answer that, how do you know if the original poster meant the same organization as do you?

Fake Short Term or Payday Loan Scam

Calls from the following area codes and numbers have all been reported to be scammers.  These scammers use phony number and names to attempt to get potential victims to send in money on fake loans that appear to be from legitimate sources.
 
713-597-6188, 713-597-6189, 713-931-3328, 713-931-3690, 713-931-3692, 713-931-3641, 713-936-3424,
713-893-1051, 512-686-4244, 210-401-3930, 979-639-7900, 779-400-0010, 817-400-1316

The names vary each time.  These fraudsters have committed company identify theft against a Federal Credit Union.

Consumers targeted by the scam typically are looking for a payday or short term loan and search the Internet for assistance.  They voluntarily place their personal information on these independent sites (not recommended) and then receive an email from one of the aliases. They say that you have been approved for a short term loan that is affiliated with companies that the scammer has no association with whatsoever.

Consumers who respond by telephone to the offer are then told that in order to receive the loan, they have to pay for either an upfront fee, taxes owed, processing fee, etc., in the form of a MoneyPak or Pre-paid credit card including Vanilla Network cards.  Do not pay any upfront fees and hang up on them.  

This is very similar to the following Houston local CBS news story.
