A man who calls himself Mark "Becker?" called and informed me that I was prequalified for a 6,000 dollar loan. But because of my low credit score I would need to show that I had 10% of the funds. He told me to place 600.00 on a Vanilla Reload network card and give him the number so that he could check the funds, and once he checked it I could spend the funds on the card. I foolishly did what he asked then he said that I needed to place 400.00 more dollars to qualify for the full amount. He assured me that I would be reimbursed the money on the cards. Everytime I called they came up with an excuse for not having the funds into my account. I decided to cancel and wanted my money back. Then a man who calls himself Alan Cooper said in order to cancel I had to pay them 150.00. By this time I just wanted my 1000.00 back and gave it to them. They have not reimbursed me anything. They are thieves.

- Maria, I had a similar experience on 2/1/2013. They called their company Instant Cash Credit, and were going to loan me $3000 with 10% interest. They wanted me to buy a green dot money pak. They also had all my bank info. They actually read back my birthday, bank account number, address, I don't remember if they said my social security number, but I' sure they have it. I did apply for a payday loan on line rhe day before, so they must have a way of hacking into a site and getting the application info. I didn't go through with it, thank goodness, because I almost did do it. The terms were unbelievably great, and I desperately need the money to pay off some bills. They take advantage of that fact. I told them I would call them back in 15 minutes after buying the money pak, but instead went on line to Green Dot where I learned that there is indeed, a scam and fake Payday loan companies are among those who are scamming. I really hope you are able to get your money back. I was ripped off a few years ago by a company who was going to help me with my mortgage. Because of that, I am a bit more cautious, except that I hate that they have my bank information. I have reported it to my bank, and so far nothing has happened. They would be sorely disappointed, because I am still broke. Good luck to you.
