I was called and advise I was approved for 3000 but I had to send 150 dollars verification fee. So they transferred me to the so called there bank that will be issuing the check. So everytime they said they sent the money overnight direct deposit never got it so I would call the next day they person name (Justin) would tell me I need to send more money. This went on for over 2 months. I never got the loan and they will not give the money back I paid. He told me he would send me my money but I have to pay 400. Than I would send it and the same thing the next day. This went on from sept 14 when it started. I have a police report and all the original eBay gilf card and receipt.

Justin number is 646-583-0604

This is a cap company that promises a line of credit. The terms are good - they ask that you "prepay" the closing costs so they can buy surerty bonds to protect the investors. After closing, you are supposed to enter a web site and draw from your line . I checked one of their references, which checked out ok. Now i'm not sure if the reference was actually in on this. Since wiring my closing costs, the web site has no money there for me, and the two people (a paul acer and richard collins) will not respond. DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH THIS COMPANY. They are frauds. I am going to file a federal fraud report and our attorney will attempt to file litigation against this company and the ESF Group who actually accepted the wire.

1st they send you an email and they tell you that they can guarantee you a loan no matter what your credit rating and then they say they have to verify your identification through a 3rd party which requires you to pay a $10 fee after that if they even get back to you they will charge you anywhere from $75 up to $300 for your loan depending on the amount you request and tell you that its their fee for finding you the loan! What you will actually get is your identification, your credit card number, your social security number, your ID, and your bank account info stolen and sold to identity thieves!!! there are just vultures, and despicable garbage for taking advantage of voulnerable people at a time when all they really need is help!!! And to not be scammed by leeches like this company!!! They deserve to be arrested and tried in a court of law for what they are doing!!! Just horrible people!!!

I was promised to receive a grant, by just paying their "fee." Once that was paid, they wanted me to send more money, covering gas/delivery cost, which was NOT paid. My facebook password was said to be 'needed,' which is a lie and not given. The agent spoken with by text, kept telling me a whole lot of stuff. Pay the 'fee' to get your package, which I have concluded doesn't even exist. Is there any at all hope of ever getting my money back? All text/fb communication will be saved, in case it is needed as evidence. What to do next?

I reached out to a bunch of lenders to try to get an emergency personal loan. These people were sketchy right off the bat, but I was so desperate and I've never dealt with scammers before, so I just went with it. They sent me a document that looked so cut and paste, I didn't think it was real. They were INSISTANT with me on the phone about me proceeding with the loan, and were almost arguing with me about how they're not a scam when I voiced my concerns. They "deposited" $1750.00 into my checking account and said I needed to return that amount to show I'm in good standing with them. They said I needed to go to a Walmart, and they would send me a barcode or something, and I needed to have the cashier at Walmart scan the barcode they sent me and then use my debit card to send the $1750.00 back. I immediately called my bank and reported fraud. They locked up my account so hopefully these people will not be able to access it anymore. They continued to call and text me, THREATENING TO COME TO MY HOUSE, and even called my work. Absolutely horrifying experience - PLEASE BEWARE!

Was contacted by phone, received a voicemail. When I called back an automated message came on saying the call volume was extremely high and to contact them through the chat page on their website. So I did they first asked how I wanted to receive my funds. Either bank accounts that would take up to 15 days or straight to my debit card if I paid fee of $50 so opted to my bank account. Never gave them my bank info though and they said I would receive an email in 3 days of my loan documents. Never did reached out for 2 Weeks and couldn’t get in touch with anyone but today I did but chat again. They said I was approved for $3000 and that they were going to send me $500 to my checking account and that the funds needed to be returned right back to them to verify my identity. They asked me for my username and password to my bank account and said I will be receiving that $500 tomorrow morning before 7am and that I am to return the funds through Apple Pay or Google pay

I was told I was approved for a loan in the amount of $8000. However, I had to make my first loan payment in advance. It was requested via Zelle or CashApp. User ID was blocked by Zelle for my protection. I was then provided a Bitcoin wallet address on CashApp. Had to send payment twice. I was provided with a wire reference for my loan but no wire ever showed up. I was told because wire was sent after 4 pm. Next business day, still no wire.

I received a text message stating that advance america has approved my loan application for up to $6000. When i trxted back they directed me to a website to fill out their application. The application seemed legit until it asked for my login and password to my mobile banking. I shut it down at that point.
