Applied for a loan

Received approval then was asked to pay deposit fee of 175.00 via Sephora gift card. I was told would receive loan funds in 30 min. WHICH I DID NOT. THEN I received another email saying I have to pay a 317.00 State of Texas fee. At that time I realized I was being scammed. Contacted scam company and they just kept insisting I pay the additional fee. I told them they were scammers and they hung up.

There was a woman that contacted me on the phone and then 3 days later a man contacted me his name Steve Smith and told me I was approved for a loan at 3% with a 7-year payback of only $2,700 for amount of $25,000 and he got my personal information and then he wanted me to pay an attorney fee $498 before the end of the month so they could reach their target he says but I thought something was fishy because no credit check real easy loan amounts he says ability to pay back and that was it so I didn't pay and but they have my personal information also not registered ScamPulse.com that was my first red flag

This group tried to take advantage of me trying to get a quick loan. A loan for $2000..They had me open my bank account and put $400 into my checking account. To cover if I didn’t make payments that $400 was there insurance coverage. They wanted me to use my Apple Card but it wouldn’t work so they had me get a Walmart pre-paid card. I got it and using the $400 had it loaded on the card. After this I called them giving the info on the card. They now wanted me to have the card scanned. Going back in Walmart Customer Service the service member told me that this was a scam all the while this company was on the phone with me so called guiding me through the process. He heard the Walmart service member telling the company that this was a scam. I hung up after this and changed all my banking info. They are still calling. In all that happened I am very grateful for the Walmart service member and what was said. I feel like a fool and learned a lesson from this experience

I (the Customer) got a call from Max Reed from Light stream offering loan amt of $5000 . Upon initiating and agreeing Max reed requested access to my bank including my username and password on this from https://achpartner.formstack.com/forms/newform1_copy. I asked why he needed it and told him that that will not be possible. I declined Max Reed got irate cussing and using obscene language leading me to believe it was a scam . No one ask for full access to a bank account to give a loan.

This number is calling my cell phone daily. A person by the name of Jessica leaves a voicemail, about a loan application needing more information. I've haven't submitted any loan applications. The call sounds choppy and, Jessica as she calls herself sounds incoherent. This is occurring several times of day, well into the night.

I am filing this complaint to report fraudulent activities conducted by Tradelineoasis, which claims to offer co-signing services for loans to individuals with poor credit. The company, which is supposedly run by Andre Wilson (likely a fake name), advertises various service packages on its website, purporting to assist clients in obtaining loans by applying under their name and depositing the funds directly into the client’s account.

I chose one of the packages and paid $500 for the service as instructed. The company required payment in cryptocurrency, claiming it was more secure. After I completed the payment and provided proof, they requested additional personal information, including my full name, address, Social Security number, and bank account details, allegedly for processing the loan and making the deposit. Despite following all their instructions, I never received the promised loan deposit, and the company ceased all communication with me once payment was made.

To test whether they were selectively ignoring customers, I contacted Tradelineoasis from a different email address to inquire about their services, and they responded promptly, indicating they are actively choosing to ignore customers after payment. Additionally, I attempted to leave a negative review to alert others, only to discover that all reviews are moderated and must be approved by the website owner, explaining why only positive reviews appear.

The payment was made using Bitcoin through Cash App, leaving me unable to dispute the transaction or recover the funds. Moreover, my Cash App account was subsequently closed due to “suspicious activity.”

I believe that Tradelineoasis is engaging in fraudulent business practices, false advertising, and potentially identity theft. They falsely represent this as a legitimate and legal way to obtain a loan and assure customers that their information is secure, which I now know is false.

Potential Laws Violated:

1. Wire Fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1343): Using electronic communications to deceive individuals into sending money and disclosing personal information under false pretenses.

2. Identity Theft (18 U.S.C. § 1028): Soliciting sensitive personal information (e.g., Social Security number and bank account details) under fraudulent pretenses.

3. False Advertising and Misrepresentation (15 U.S.C. § 45): Engaging in deceptive practices by misrepresenting services and controlling review visibility to create a misleading positive reputation.

4. State Consumer Protection Laws: Various state laws prohibit unfair and deceptive acts or practices in commerce.

I request that the ScamPulse.com investigate Tradeline Oasis and take appropriate actions against them for their fraudulent activities. I also urge the ScamPulse.com to warn other potential victims about this scam.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely, ***** *******

I received a call that I was approved for a loan from $2000 - $8000. They sent a agreement for me to sign and asked for my ID. After that she stated that since my credit was lower than 700 I needed to either purchase insurance for $283 or pay 5% of the loan amount upfront which was $100. If I paid by debit or credit card it would take like 12 days to process but if I paid with a ebay card it would be processed in 30 minutes and it would be refunded to me within 2 days. At that point I started doing my research.

I was offered a 5000 dollar loan. I was asked to provide my online banking login information. Subject then proceeded to make three deposits totaling $1200 into my account. I was then instructed to send the money back via CashApp. After providing me with several invalid accounts, I was then instructed to send it via Bitcoin. The next morning, my account was overdrawn by that same $1200.
