Received a call from a Mr. David Johnson of GE Money Bank, stating have pre-approved for an unsecured loan with the company. He stated that the company was listed the BBB and that there was no fradulent activity with the company he represented. He stated that I needed to purchase a vanilla money pack with $170. showing that I could pay the money back. Also, he then stated that I needed to place another $250. on a new card. 'The cards were not to used by me and they were to be kept in a safe place and once the company could see that the money was on the cards the money would then be deposited into my bank account within 10-15 minutes. The money on the cards could then be used by me. As of this writing I have not received no deposit of the money and he has withdrawn the $5250. from the card ( the name of the company that colllect the money is InfinityDebt - 866-894-3382, which is not a working number), the 2nd card has been registered in someone else's name and the $170.00 IS GONE! When trying to reach on on 3/22/13, he stated they were experiencing technical difficulties and that my bank was closed, but he would make "Dame Sure" the money would be deposited first thing Monday morning. Also, the company would give me an additional $100 for being inconvenienced. What a joke. When I contacted the Vanilla Card company I was instructed to file a police report, contact BBB for fraud and deceprtion. I would like to be reimbursed my money and if not resolved favorably by GE Money Bank, I will be passing this information to my attorney. It is a shame of how the company is very deceptive to anyone especially senior citizens. It ia very interesting that so much emphasis was put on keeping the cards in a safe place and at the same time they are collecting the money off the cards. I could not even register the second card to my zip code, so I could use it later because the "dirty rotten soundrels" had the card registered in some else's name. HELP! ---SENIOR CITIZEN wants her money back. Thanks yu for your support in resolving this.
