California Payday Loans
Complaint 152027 Details

HI I RECIEVED A PHONE CALL FROM A WOMAN NAMED SANDY FROM CALIFORNIA PAYDAY LOANS SHE HAD STATED TO ME THAT I WAS APPROVED FOR 1000.00 LOAN AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO GO PURCHASE A GREENDOT PAYPAL CARD FOR 150.00 AND THEN THE 1000.00 PLUS THE 150.00 WOULD BE DEPOSITED IN MY BANK ACCOUNT IN ONE HOUR. SHE SAID TO CALL HER ONCE I HAD PURCHASED THE CARD SO THAT SHE COULD HAVE THE FUNDS DEPOSITED. i DID AS SHE SAID WELL WHEN SHE CALLED ME BACK SHE THEN STATED THAT NOW I WOULD NEED TO GO PURCHASE ANOTHER GREENDOT CARD AND PLACE 199.00 ON THE CARD FOR TAXES THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS CHARGING FOR THE PAYDAY LOAN. I SAID OK WHY WOULD I NEED TO PAY TAXES ON MONEY I DO NOT HAVE AND HAVE YET TO RECIEVE. SHE SAID YOU PURCHASE THE CARD PAY THE 199.00 AND YOU WILL RECIEVE THE 1000.00 PLUS THE 150.00 PLUS THE 199.00. SO DURING THIS PROCESS I IMMEDIATELY CAUGHT ON AND STATED TO HER THAT IF THEY DID NOT REFUND MY MONEY OF 150.00 DOLLARS I WAS CONTACTING THE FBI. AND I DID. THE FBI IS GOING TO INVESTIGATE BUT I AM PRETTY MUCH OUT OF 150.00. ITS SAD THAT SOMEONE COULD DO THIS TO PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST TRYING TO FIND SOME WAY TO PAY THEIR BILLS BUT INSTEAD GET FRAUDED OUT OF A BUNCH OF MONEY.SO SORRY TO THE OTHERS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO. YOU ARE NOT ALONE IT HAPPENED TO ME AS WELL LUCKILY I CAUGHT ON TO THE SCHEME VERY QUICKLY AFTERWARDS OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF MORE MONEY.
