GE Money Bank
Complaint 213971 Details

Received a phone message stating I could qualify for a $3000 loan. Returned call. Informed I must to get a "Vanilla Prepay Visa" card, load with $100 which was processing fee which would be refunded after first on time payment was made. I did. Next day I called, I was approved and gave Alex my bank routing and account info.
Next day the loan was not at my bank. Called Alex. He stated I needed to get insurance for loan according to FTC. $300 on "Vanilla Prepay Visa". I did and called him with info. Later the funds wetter to be transferred to my account. No funds. Called Alex. Problems with transfer. Get loan thru Western Union. I expressed my deep concern because another phone was received from aGE Money Bank solicitation. Alex said I could pay $160.00 of Western Union transfer cost and remaining $120.00 after I received the loan amount. So again a "Vanilla Prepay Visa". I received an Authorization number for money transfer. It was not valid when I went to Western Union office. Again I called but this time a Ricky Johnson told me that he was replacing Alex and that I had to pay the remaining $120.00 transfer to receive the loan. I did as Ricky Johnson talked very convincingly. Once I paid I had to make at least four calls to get Authorization number. When I fondly received it and took it to Western Union office, it was not valid. Western Union suggested I was scammed. I called for Ricky Johnson several times and finally told not to call again that he was in meetings and would call me. He never did. NEVER
