They called me saying I've been approved for a 2-5k loan, we talked, set up all the details and then they told me I needed to go to 7/11, walmart, CVS, and place 10% of the loan amount on a green dot card, after that I called them and gave them the number on the back of the card. My money never came, I called them back and asked why I did'nt receive my money and they said there was a problem with the FTC and I needed to pay off a $180 tax, I went back to the store with another green dot card, rinse repeat. Still my money never came, I call them again and they said they couldn't deposit the money and they would send it to me via western union and that i'd need to pay half the western union costs up front. At that point I stopped throwing my money away, I called them and confronted them about there listings on scambook and they said anyone can put things up here and say bad stuff about them and that there are thousands of other companies in the same field trying to trash the other ones. All in all i'm out about $1500 and I'll be losing my job as a result of this. I have no idea what i'm going to do about my bills, car repairs, a place to live, or even put food in my belly. It's terrible people would do this to other just for a quick buck. If anyone knows any way for me to make some quick money to try to keep my apartment and my stomach full please let me know. I've reached my breaking point.

  • This sounds like you need legal advice. I had similar calls from them as well and each time i have been asked to secure the loan with a green dot card, this is false and they are scammers thats a sure way of you not getting your money back try calling customer service or the card company maybe they can help REMEMBER THIS ..........IF they have your banking details verified that is all thry should require when getting a loan a loan company will not request funds through western union or with prepaid cards!!
