I was in debt to my bank for a large sum, leveraged to pay doctor, therapist, rent, bills, groceries etc... I was looking for a loan online, but couldn't find anything. This individual cold called me, promised a $2,000 loan. I should have know better, but I was desperate, and provided him with my full name, address, banking information (account & routing numbers), SSI number, and my online banking sign in information. Money did begin to appear in my checking account, but it was immediately flagged by ** Bank with holds. When I dug deeper into the information available on my bank's website, and instead of transferring the funds electronically like a legitimate business, they gave the bank images of checks with my signature forged on the back. I am so embarrassed and ashamed that I let this happened. My bank has flagged my account for fraud and I don't know how I am going to get money for groceries, medication and rent. I hope this scammer is caught and punished.

I I received a call from Michael who said he was a loan officer at Commonwealth Bank I dealt with him regarding getting a loan for $10,000. I was to buy 2 Target gift card totaling $500 a piece. Michael lost his trying to help out the loan officer name Erin Martin he said he was the Senior Loan Officer of Commonwealth Bank. I ended up several Target gift cards also I was instructed to get eBay cards $200. It was always something else with Erin Martin he always over talking you at one point he said it wasn't going to help me. Seeing that didn't have a bank account I asked could I picked up at Western Union I was instructed I need to pay a fee of $500.00 to guarantee the tracking numbers. I was showing a Western Union with the tracking number on it but when came time to picked it up it had expired. In order to get a new Western Union tracking sheet I had to pay $500.00. Erin Martin said I need to come with another $1,600 inorder to complete my loan application. I didn't have it and friend of the loan the loan. **I thought it was odd the only way the world process the you had to online banking. Commonwealth Bank had already messed up my son's on line banking until had to get new bank and depleted bank and left it in the negative balance. My friend used her online banking and when call her bank they transferred to the Fraud dept. And when we confronted Erin Martin he got irate and hostile cutting off wouldn't let word in. When I call Erin Martin he's has blocked my number, my son and Denise. I sent him a text last to see how we can ratified this problem he's now gone in hiding. The money that was use was money that desperate need to bills, food etc. I don't how many folks, done this too seniors citizens, disabled and autistic. We desperately need our money back. I am out of $7,500, my friend is out of her $1,600. My son's account,$1260.00 plus negative balance in cash app -$560.00.

I applied for a personal loan and received a notice that I was approved. Money was deposited to my bank account. I was told to immediately pay back the money by buying money cards. After doing this three times, I was told the loan would be deposited to my bank account. I never received any money and the deposits were returned. My bank account went into the negative and my accounts were closed and now I am stuck with the debt to the bank.

They sent me an email and text that seemed so legit. Said I was approved for $5,000 at $149 per month for 3 years. Same thing as another person above wrote, the said they were putting a verification deposit in. Somehow, $220 of the $1,188 deposit was available and I Had to send it backon a moneyloan card. Then an hour later my account was in the negative for $220. They said they would fix it ( strong african accents the 2 men I talked to had ), but I changed all my account info. They said their names were Leo and Anthony. My bank knew the check was bull[censored] ( mobile deposit ) so I lost the $220. I keep texting and emailing them telling them I hope I run into them one day in court.

They send you a text message stating you are approved for a certain amount. They text me that I was approved for $6000. I sent them a response back, asking what are the requirements, and if I needed to put up collateral. James Williams was his name when he introduced himself. He stated that he didn't, and he emailed me a contract. to read it carefully. If I agree, to sign it and email it back. Which I did read it, but asked why do I have to pay them with gift cards? in order to get the loan, he states it was because the law does not allow them to give anyone money. They needed to make sure that they were not going to get scammed by the consumer. They need to make sure the bank account was in good standing order, with no fraud. So they would deposit money in your account, for you to buy gift cards to send to them as payment. that shows them that your Bank account is legit. and your not going to close it right after they send you the loan. I would get the gift card amounts as asked, but there was always something wrong, the card was invalid, or the card was not completely the amount you purchased for. I did this for a few times and asked to speak to the Supervisor. He then states that they just need one more payment, and they will get send me the Loan amount. I do the last transaction, and when I try to call them back. they phone number is disconnected. But in reality, they blocked my number. or they would not answer my call. I sent them multiple text messages, which they did receive but did not reply.

I was identified by a person by the name of Sam White by two separate numbers. One is from a California number of 9099995841 and the other is from South Carolina with the number of 8648107340. This person finds any and everyone request for a loan off of the internet as if they are a legitimate company and tells the person like myself that I was approved for a $5000 loan. They read back my personal information that I placed online to apply for a loan through so many sources and says that they need to verify my account and ask me for my user name and password. I declined. Are communication is only done on the phone and not on the internet at all. After took what funds that were in my account I gave him my user name and password and in exchange he verified my account and the next day he deposit a check from someone whom I don't know into my checking account. I informed my bank of what was done after I was informed that I deposit a check into my account and I told the bank that I didn't deposit a check into my account at all. So the scammer called me back and ask me to withdraw the check out of my account and to send it to him for verification. I called my bank to reject the check that was placed into my account because it was placed into it as a mean of a scam. The bank is investigating the matter at this time, even though my account is placed on hold, until further review.
