THEIR PHONE #: 972-360-7050 I was contacted by these individuals and they indicated that I had been approved for a loan of $6,000. (I have a voicemail from them stating this specific information saved on my phone). I had been applying for a couple loans that day, so I thought this was in alignment with that. I accepted a loan for $5,000. They stated that due to my lower credit score, I would need to make the initial payment upfront of $345, which they said required a payment from a Moneypak card. I told them that I would need verification from the bank that the loan was supposedly coming from, which they indicated was GE Bank. I received a call from the GE Bank customer service phone number, (which I verified was their number from their website), verifying the terms of the loan. Therefore, I purchased the Green dot Moneypak at a Smiths grocery store on 6/28/13. (I have the receipt for this, as well as the original card). After I made this payment, "Fast Us Loans" stated that they needed an additional $150 on a Moneypak card in order for the credit reporting agencies to accept my loan agreement. I purchased another Moneypak card on 7/1/2013 at Smiths grocery store, (I have the receipt and the original card), and gave them this payment. Long story short, I never received the funds for the loan that I had applied for, and they never refunded my money. They indicated that that someone in their company stole it and that they were not responsible and would not do anything about it. I have called them somewhere around 300-400 times within the past few weeks wanting to know the status of my refund, and they either hang up on me or call me cuss words.

  • We saw your post and would like to respond. The call you received was not from GE Money Bank. GE Capital (formally GE Money) provides private label and bankcard credit programs.

    We do not provide personal loans via the purchase or use of prepaid money cards, nor do we call or email potential customers to request personal information to establish prepaid cards or personal loans, nor do we charge application fees.

    What you detail in your complaint appears to be an attempt to fraudulently obtain money. More information is available at www.ftc.gov.

    Regards,

    Nicole

  • Yes Nicole, I am aware that GE Capital is likely not RUNNING the scam, which is why the complaint I have filed with the FTC is against Fast Us Loans. I was simply providing the information of what has occurred because GE Capital might want to be aware of the types of scams that fraudulent companies are making in their name, (to the point where I did receive a call from GE Capital's customer service number on my caller ID, but it was apparently not even them).
