Cash America Loans
Complaint 319792 Details

I was contacted by Kevin Matthews, who told me I was approved for an $8,000.00 cash loan. Monthly payments would be $306.00 per mnth for 30 months. I was in desperate need of this money. My hours at work was cutback, and I'm barely making mortgage payments on time. Of course, I don't have the best credit rating, but despite that, he told me that was no problem and I would have the money the same day. However, to show good faith I had to submit my 1st payment of $306 via MoneyPak card. He stayed on the phone with me the entire time, he also asked for the time that was on the receipt of the purchase. I was on hold for about 30 mins, when he came back on.. He said there was a red flag, and they couldn't deposit the money into my checking account, and since my credit score was low, the federal reserve said I would have to pay taxes on the money. He told me it was a guarantee that I would have the money, and they would reimburse me for the $330.00 they requested in tax money. Again, I was desperate...wasn't thinking in my right state of mind. I went ahead and purchased another moneypak card for that amount $330.00. Again, I was asked for the time of the receipt purchase. After being on hold for another 35-40 mins. He conferenced in another guy who was supposed to be an employee for Western Union of Dallas. I was supplied a MTC number, and was told it would take about 15 mins for the funds to be wired via western union. I was then placed on hold, they got back on the phone and requested $380.00... At that time I figured I was being scammed, but i'm also thinking if it is a scam, I've already lost out on $636.00.. but if it is real, and I'm just being paranoid I'll get the money back. To make a long story short.. I sent it... and they asked for another $501.00... I know you all are reading this and saying what you wouldn't have done... but they give guarantees, and they are very persuasive, and if you are in a bind like I am (which i'm even worse off at this moment).. The mind can play tricks to have you believing its a possibility that its real... The next day (which is today) the line is disconnected. Please Please Please, don't fall for this scam. you'll be just like me, not knowing how in the hell you're going to get out of the deeper hole, that was dug. I'm lost, I'm ashamed, and BROKE!! MoneyPak is not responsible for refunding your money.
