I was scammed out of 7000.00 because they told me I had been approved for a personal loan for 5000.00. I had to keep buying cards for google play and such. They told me when I purchased them I would get my loan., which was a lie. I just got tired of buying them because I knew then I was being scammed. I told them no more. Then they got angry and kept calling me and being very aggressive trying to get me to keep on. I just stopped talking with them. I know enough now to be careful in what I do.

Recieved a text message stating I had been approved for a loan and needed to call the loan manager Jerry Adam's to finalize the loan. I have been struggling Financially and had been applying for loans at this time so immediately felt relieved to be approved. I called the number provided and the automated message sounded legit and then used the extension provided. The number rang andvt bgg en went to voicemail with instructions and that Jerry would get back to me. When he did call back is when I first got suspicious because he said his name is jerry Adam's but his accent was middle eastern. But moving on we agreed on terms which was $3000 paying $137 a month for 24months without any advance fee, handover of my car title, or anything up front from me. He then sends me paper work to sign and instructions to send it back to him with copies of my drivers license and pay stubs. Later that day he calls me back. Saying everything is set up he just needs my bank account number to set up the money transfer, he then called and asked for my online banking username and po password so that he could deposit the money into it. A little while goes by and he calls asking about my credit score and if I know why it's so low. I explain and he responds saying vfc that if he transfers the whole 3000 at once that the FTC will put a hold on the funds and eventually deny the transfer. So he wanted to sent me a smaller check close to but not exactly 1000 and then have be refund the money back to him using monogram. He says this will show the FTC that we are doing business together. After I refund the money he would then transfer me the full 3000. He did in fact deposit a check for $726 into my account. But me being already suspicious had been checking things out. The check he deposited came from a Automobile Club of Southern California. I immediately c as called my bank and had them freeze my account and deny the check.

The gentlemen called and had you sign papers for a loan. He asked for your bank acct.#. He also asked for your user id and password to your acct. He then said he was going to wire money to your account as a test and would want you to send it back as a form of a target / Walmart gift card. After signing the agreement and gearing this I wanted it stopped. The victim hasn’t lost money yet, but thinks he will.

I was desperate for a loan, because I need to move, and pay off some bills. I applied to so many agencies, who sent my application to several lenders. I’m in bad shape financially (short sale on house a few years back, plus I’m disabled, and while I was waiting for a decision, I fell behind. There are also Medical bills, I haven’t paid off yet...all of this dragged my fico way down), so no one was willing to give me a loan, especially on a fixed, monthly income. I get a text the next day, saying they could approve a loan for $3k - $5k. I told them what I needed, they asked some legitimate questions, and directed me to their online form. I filled it out. The next day, they deposited a check into my account for over $900. They said they wanted to make a smaller deposit, to help my credit, and they would take it right back, making it look like I paid a lender. Well, my bank saw the check and knew it was fraudulent. They contacted me right away. Now I have to put a fraud alert on all three credit reporting agencies, which involves using office equipment I don’t have, go to my bank and change all of my account numbers, and my online profile. What a pain in the neck! And they’re still trying to contact me. The company called me again (with the number (321) 292-7713)

The scammer sent a fake agreement and contract of 5000 with an interest of 10% asked for banking information and got my social security number offline from another site in which I applied for a loan not through this scammer

I received an email from Advanced America saying I was approved for a loan. I checked out the company to be legit since I did use them before. The man I was speaking to Wilson Green gave me the info on the loan repayments and it sounded good. I gave my account access for them to deposit a trial amount but they deposit $393 and wanted me to go to western union or money tree and send it back to them. I thought a loan company would not do such thing. I called my bank and reported fraud and to remove the check from my account and now my account is frozen which I don’t mind to protect my account. I’m not sending money that a check hasn’t cleared my account yet. I googled this info and it looks like fraud to me.

I received an email stating I was approved for a loan at 5% APR rate. No fee or insurance to start loan. The loan amount was for $5000.00. Thankfully I did my research and these scammers have been using the advance logo for quite some time. They have also been sending bad checks to consumers putting them in debt.

I got a call and was told I was approved was asked to buy American Express card put $105 on it ,so it could be sent western union. They were having server difficulties so it would be sent 1st thing in the morning. I called the next morning and I was told due to my low credit score I had to get insurance which was $490 for a $5000 loan so I sent it and then was told it was on hold ..i was asked to send 10% of the loan and it would be taken off hold and sent. So I asked 4 the other $600 back and they refused. Asked if I could borrow money from someone,pawn something. I told him no and he got mad and loud!!

Got scammed for $960 from the guys. Claimed to be operating as Advance America and approved me for a loan of $5,000. All good but I first had to receive money from them & I in turn would send the money back to the with a Walmart gift card???? I knew it was ** but I did it anyway . Couple days later the money they sent later from two checks bounced, caused NSF charges on my bank account, and put me in a bind but all good. Hope the cats get caught.

My wife and I were trying to get a loan for Xmas when a few days later I recieved a text stating we were approved for one asking for an email to send details to. Once I called to find out more was informed they would make 2 deposits one to determine if the account was legit which we would have to return and than a second for the loan.
