I applied for a loan online. I was contacted through IM to call 766-667-8926. I talked to a man with an Mexican accent from First Finance. He said I was approved for a $3000 loan. He wanted my online banking info.

I didn't give it to him because I just lost $3,000 three weeks ago.

There's a bitcoin machine at W Broad and Ogden, and you were depositing and there was a man and a woman, standing on my right hand side. The man was pretending to help me, while the woman was taking pictures, so the $3,000 didn't got to my husband in FL.

I was offered a loan through this company. Everything seemed legitimate until the verification process started. They continued to ask for login information for my personal bank account. Upon receipt of the documents of the loan, there are several red flags. They claimed to be A+ rated through the ScamPulse.com and in fact are not rated or accredited through you at all. As I was speaking with the man from said company to stop the transaction, he would not let me speak. He kept insisting on getting my banking information. This needs to be stopped before someone else falls prey to their schemes.

I applied for a loan on line. A few days later I got a text stating my loan was approved. They then asked me to purchase I tune cards in the amount of $200.00 in turn give them the numbers and in turn they would send me a code to receive my money through money gram.

Received a call from a Vincent Morris (had a heavy India accent) that I was approved for a $5000 loan with payment of $153 a month for 36 months. Wanted my debit card number and I did not give it to him. Told him I would have to call him back. I checked on this company and found they are fraudulent and on their form letter they have BBB accreditations all over their loan documents. Just thought I would pass this on so no one gets scammed by them. I did not accept anything from this company, as I suspected fraud.

It supposed to be a financial loan and come to find out. I had two counterfeit checks in my account with a bank I've been with for 5 years, which is about to closed because of this scam. Please be advised to check before doing anything. Now I have to change everything and what's scary is this scam has all my and another person information. I'm filing a police report as soon as possible. DON'T fall for anything you're NOT sure of!!

I was told to pay 250.00 to process loan, then told to pay 450,to put money in my account, then430,for insurance, then 400 to process it then 600 for wire transfer. When I asked to cancel the loan of 2000.00 they said I had to pay 399.00 for them to money gram my refund back to me which was about 1700.

I received a text message from someone claiming to be *** *** working with first Finance offering me a $3,000 to $10,000 loan approval. The number I have provided for the scammer is the one I called to confirm the message I had received. Upon calling I was asked to provide my last four of social which I did they only told me my first and last name and then went on to continue that they did not deposit into my bank that I currently had. When asked why and what are the terms & conditions of the loan they stayed that their business only worked with the lists of banks that were given to me & then went on to ask me about my credit score. I replied that I provided all information for them to be able to pull up these records & demanded the terms & conditions be explained to me by higher management. The scammer became very rude saying I would have to pay $250 for them to deposit the loan after I opened up a new bank account with the banks they've given to me. Still not explaining any terms & conditions. They focused on me only opening an account & sending the money without answering any of my detailed questions. I could hear him speaking in a foreign language to someone in the background before telling me that he is not speaking with me anymore unless I call back to send the money for supposedly a loan I was already approved for! Please get this issue resolved as I don't want anyone being scammed into losing money or giving up personal information. Thank You

I'd been online looking for a loan. I got a text message from James Anderson of First Financial. It said I'd been approved for a loan for $1000 to $10,000 based on my online application.

I was told I was approved for a $3500 loan, I gave them all my banking info, ss number and picture of ID thru a text message. The company then said they would deposit some money into my bank account and to use that money to buy itune cards in that same amount and send them pictures of the back of the cards to them. So they deposited the money in my account with a mobile banking check. I bought the cards, sent them the pictures....then they said the $3500 would be deposited into my bank account on Monday. So Monday came and no money, I called the company and they said it was going to be deposited some time that day, not to worry. Of course the next day it wasn't, so I called them back and left message on voicemail. The next day I checked my bank account to see if my paycheck was deposited, i noticed my pay was absorbed by the amount of the fake check the deposited plus bank charges. On top of that my car was repossessed that day because I was borrowing the money to catch up my car payments and my PGE, so I incurred other money loss besides what I lost from my bank account

I feel as if this is a scam because they offered a $2000 loan for 24 payments of $87.84 which would equal $2105 in repayment. Ive never heard of anyone having such a low interest rate especially since I dont have the greatest credit.

I was texted saying I was approved for a $10,000 loan and to call the number in the text. I called and was then asked to hang up and answer a series of questions and call back, like my address, workplace address, etc. Also my social was asked for. Then I had to sign the loan agreement that was sent to me and send it back along with my ID and a check stub. After that I had to fill out a form online with my bank account information. Then a few hours later a trial deposit went into my account then I had to go to Walmart and buy a regular walmart gift card put the money on there and give him the information so he can get his trial money back. After that he said I would receive the loan by the next day at 11am. So I waited. 11 came the nothing. He had texted before then saying he'd call me when the money was deposited. Hours kept going by and nothing. Then he slowly started ignoring my texts etc or takings longer to reply. Basically I haven't received anything yet he has all my personal information. He needs to be shut down. He even was talking about other clients too so I know he's done this to more people.

I was sent a text saying I was approved for a loan with contact info. I contacted the company to see why I had been texted if I never applied for a loan with them in the first place. I explained all this to the man on the phone and he asked for the last 4 of my social and cell # to access the acct. I gave it to him. Then he asked would I like to receive the loan or cancel the services. I told I wanted to cancel n why did I receive any txt if I didnt apply for a loan. He told hed check with whomever and put me on hold for like2-5 minutes and came back and said I received the txt falsely and sent me Google verification # of 351534 and I had to give tht # to him. I asked why he needed to send me tht ....why couldnt he just cancel and rid his system of my info and he said because they have a google acct. He then said the services were cancelled. Im very unsure and worried.
