The real Freedom Plus is no longer called Freedom Plus but Achieve and that company is legit. Please see Nerd Wallet for review on the actual company. If you get an email claiming you've been approved by Freedom Plus; it is a BIG scam. Do not contact them at all. You were not approved of any loan; it's all a BIG lie. I just received one on Aug 1st 2023. I've never applied for any loan considering I'm in debt consolidation. Consumer Be aware.

I applied online like many others for a personal loan. I am in need a dental work & was desperate to get what money I could together. I received a text saying my loan was approved & then shortly after a phone call. I was told I was approved for $2,000 and to verify my information. The man I spoke with knew my number, address, date of birth and phone number.
Eventually I was asked to verify my bank info and social. This I stupidly did.
I was transferred to a banking manager for approval and was told that I could get $3,000 and pay it off is 33 months at a low interest rate. The manager kept repeating the poor state of my credit score which I found odd, but continued to go through.
I was emailed loan documents and a promissory notice to e sign. They looked legit and I signed and returned. I was asked to provide ID with the signed documents which I did.
I was asked for my bank login info and noticed that I was sent 2 separate amounts totaling 911.88.
I was then called and told I need to cash app that back to them and then they would release my $3000.
This is when I started to panic and realized I have been scammed.
I hung up the phone and called my bank.
I had to call my employer to stop my pay from being deposited. I had to close my bank account completely.
I created a social security account online to see if I can report use of my number. I did find out I can contact the IRS.
I am now nervous knowing that these scam artists have all my information and my drivers ID on file.
I received a unprofessional letter that is spelt incorrectly and definitely not from a loan officer stating they will block my ID since they have the copy and that they will make sure my ss number will be blocked (whatever that means).
These people have my address!
They took advantage of me during a difficult time financially and while I'm in pain needing extractions.
I will now contact the IRS fraud department and see what can be done regarding my ss number.

I applied for loans on line. Received a call back stating he was from freedom plus loans and my loan is approved. While on the phone he sent me docu sign emails to sign . The loan had freedom plus all through it in the back ground there was no way telling this was fake. Then sent me another email from jot form to fill out all my personal info and bank info which I did. After filling it all out the phone got disconnected. I then called freedom plus and when I called THEY HAD NO LOAN INFO ON ME. THIS HAD TO BE A SCAM AND NOW ALL MY BANK INFO AND PERSONAL INFO is being used for who knows what. I’m trying to get ahold of my bank now to get my bank account locked .

They offered a personal loan and said I should take thousands more then I was asking for because of my credit. Next they said they would have to “repair” my credit by sending money to my account and I could not use that amount but send in right back to them then they would be depositing my loan amount. I recognize it as a scam and hung up.

While FreedomPlus (one word) is a legitimate company, please be aware of scammers assuming the lender's identity.

It wasn't until they asked for my online banking password that I realized I'd already been conned into giving them all my other personal information. That's when I decided to look up the phone number for the real FreedomPlus, who confirmed my suspicion that they were NOT the ones who had contacted me.

Fortunately, I was able to report my debit card as stolen and close my checking account before losing any money. I just hope I can save others from the same trouble or worse.

I was contacted by Ben Thomas from the phone number 8888532856. He said I was approved for a loan, that I never received. He had all of my banking information and said he had to deposit an initial payment and then remove to check my account to see if It could accept the deposit. He then zelled someone $710 from my account and made fraud claims on my account totaling $719.69. This was to even out my account so I wouldn’t notice the transactions. I did find out until I was contacted by my back. I explained the situation to my bank that I had been scammed by I ended up get stuck with paying the $710.

I received a call today from(813)608-4672 from Texas.Nick Anderson from Texas has an American name to have such a strong accent.I already been scammed because I gave my bank login info.If Nick was a loan officer at Freedom Finance then so am I.Beware of these people.Apparently the Indians raised their children to be straight up theives because they call me day and night wanting to give me up to $10,000.Shame on their mothers for not raising them better.Uniyed States set them up everyday in new stores across America.Beware!

I was sent the text. Saying approved for a loan. I called. They said I needed to provided checking account information which I have done in the past to other loan offices and received money from them. This part was suspicious when they asked for my username and password for my banking account. Being I am in need of a loan at this time, I went along with it. I was then told my credit score was low so they needed to add money to my account to bring it up out of the negative. Once I saw the money in the account, I was told to go to the bank to have the money sent back to them. It was a “quick” loan. Foolish as I was, then was told to go to a store and put it on a gift card. I then put the money on a two target gift cards because they only hold so much on one card. Once the 387 was put on both cards, I was then told to show them the numbers on the back of the cards. Once this was done, I was told the credit report should show an increase in points and I would be able to get the loan in a couple of hours. At this point I’m feeling pretty good. Later he calls saying the banks are closing and I need a couple more points for the approval. That was supposed to happen today. I was given the same spill about having to do this again one more time. Turns out the money in my account came from reversals that were made. At the time, I didn’t know these had been made. When I asked about why they were made, he said the creditors did that to boast the credit score and that they would be refunded after the loan was sent. Basically, the money I pulled out was from false claims and I will probably be responsible for putting that money back in my account to cover the reversals. This Indian guys name was Michael Roberts. That should of been the first red flag. What Indian is named Michael? The number he was using was out of Michigan. 1-810-204-3602
The email I was sent was exactly like the pictures that were posted in this group except with a different persons name. These people are [censored] of the earth.

I just got off the phone with them . Did they hack into any of your bank information?

Good afternoon my name is Valarie J Hurd I am filing a separate report due to now I'm being Harassed By Freedom Plus LLC The representative is name Sean Marshall THERE addresses so they state:
2114 East Rio Salado boulevard

Telephone "'s

16028342027
16025984466
16026983528
16028441800

So this company Freedom Plus led me to believe that there was a loan approved for me of $10,000 they told me that they were submitting money to my account when I checked my account it was the money that they stated was given to me come to find out after so many gift card transactions it was my own money due to reversals of my merchants that I pay honorably each month in my account they were taking my money I'm thinking they were giving me money when all the time they were reversing all my merchants such as my car note my insurance my tithes and offerings to my church and other miscellaneous transactions
Now they are harassing me all times of the day they are calling back to back they also use the Police department's number 621-7000 and it sounded just like the fraudulent man Sean who is harassing me and he threatened me over the phone I immediately called back the 621-7000 and talked to your representative and she says we will never call an individual and let them know there is a crime against them she says people have been using police apps. I have proof I have all the gift cards I have everything to prove that they are fraudulently doing this to people I also made a report with the FBI and federal trades commission and better Business bureau I've lost time at work I've lost sleep this is very traumatizing he won't stop calling me and he calls from different numbers.

Ugh, I’m kicking myself! I was in, and am still in, a desperate spot financially. So, I applied for loans. Freedom Plus fakers got in touch w me w a too good to be true offer of an $8000 loan. Wanting to believe them and being at my wits end, I agreed and signed papers. Right away I felt something wrong and came to the ScamPulse.com site, only to be horrified by the number of complaints of this nature. They said they would do a small verification deposit so I though a few cents. It was $1300, and now they are blowing up my phone, texts, and emails to send it via CashApp back to them to a Vyvianna Otero. No, I’m not going that route. I have been on the phone for the last hour w my bank, ****, raising holy h$&@, bc these people prey on people at their lowest times in life. And for that, there’s a special place in hell. They haven’t stopped harassing me bc I changed all my account info immediately. I’m blocking all of it at this point and waiting for the internet crimes response. They have been threatening to file federal charges and send cops to my work and door. No you’re not going to threaten me like that. That’s insane. DO NOT USE this company. And to the real Freedom Plus, what are you doing about this? This is disgusting criminal activity.

I applied for a loan online and then received a call a day later from a different company than I applied for, which I figure by now when you apply for a loan your information is out there and companies will contact you trying to get you to apply for a loan with them. The guy was Chinese and said I was approved for $10,000. He got my social, checking and routing number, the rest of my info, and then said he would have his “loan manager” contact me within 30 minutes. About 20 minutes later another Chinese guy named “Jack bowles” contacted me and said I was approved but my credit score wasn’t great. So in order to help he wanted my bank login information. He then said he would deposit his own money into my account, and then I would have to go to a Walmart to send the money back to him showing that I relayed the loan, and therefore my credit score would go up and I would be able to get the $10,000 loan. That’s where I stopped. I called the REAL freedom plus company and they said no we would never ask for that information, which I already figured. I called “Jack” back and accused him and he said no it’s not a scam, I said I’m going to report both of you and he said “ok go right ahead”. He was very pushy and consistent, and if I was anyone else he might have got my bank login information. Telling me “you can change your login information after I deposit the money”. As if he couldn’t just change the login information himself and lock me out of my own account. One last thing. He sent me a fake contract which came from a gmail account. The real freedom plus worker told me it will always be their name @freedomplus.com if it’s their email.

BEWARE OF SCAMS. I attached pictures of the phone email and both numbers.

I was contacted by Shawn Smith stating he was apart of Freedom Plus and that I was approved for a loan. I didn’t realize until after I gave him my information that it was a scam. I’m not sure what to do.

So, I applied for a loan through Credit Karma. It did a vast search & came up with a front for a real, legitimate Company called Freedom Plus Financial. I applied for a loan for $5k. (The REAL Freedom Plus requires a minimum to apply at $7500k with a minimum score of 620, and they have a real website, with Officers with High Credentials).

I received an email on 7/19/2021 stating that I approved. I contacted the gentleman by his number listed in the e-mail. He asked me all the normal questions, then said that it would be in my account within 12 to 24 hours. He then said that he would email me my approval letter with a link to verify my Bank Account information. When I clicked on the link, it was a Google Form. The form asked for the name of my Bank, User ID and Password. At the end of the form, it states not to give out your passwords on Google Forms. So I called the gentleman listed in the email & told him this. He said that Google prefers that they do not do this, but this was fine because they used this app all the time. However, he decided that we could continue over the phone, since this was a final stage. Once we were done, he said that his Manager would contact us to go through a quick verification before processing our final $5k. He went on to say that a small amount will be deposit into our account & that we will need to verify the amounts to prove who we say we are and then send back the amount. Before he ended the call, he stated that his Manager would call me back by 1:45 pm cst, my time on 7/20/2021. We never received the call. My wife felt uneasy about the entire process, and she went to our online banking and changed our password and one of our security questions. This is because the gentleman had asked for one of the answers to our security questions when he signed in to look in my account.

The evening of 7/20/2021, I received a notification on my phone that money had changed in my account. I signed into my Bank account, and saw a pending credit of $993. It did not state where it was coming from. It actually looked like I had personally deposited this amount.

This morning, 7/21/2021, my Bank contacted me and asked about a suspicious credit pending of $993. She stated the reason why it looked suspicious, is because there was not any money behind the credit. It was pending, but nothing would go into my account. She said that she flagged it and has reported it to the fraud dept. She said that she has reversed it completely.

I decided to contact this gentleman back and it went to his voicemail. I then contacted the other number that belonged to their front company, and the Manager that was supposed to contact me the day before, answered. I explained who I was and asked him where his Office was located. He said Phoenix Arizona, but he would not give me the actual address of his location when I asked. I told him what my Bank said and he got upset and told me that I would need to return $543 of the loan. I explained to him that my loan was for $5k. He said, "No, this is a verification process first!" I told him that NO money was actually deposited into my Bank account. My bank caught it in PENDING state, flagged it for fraud and reversed it because it was not legitimate. He hung up on me.

Then I received an email from that said Manager with a PDF attachment with a Warrant for my arrest.

Here were the red flags:

1. The email address was a gmail.

2. There was not a business address nor a Company security paragraph attached to the end of the email.

3. The Google Form stating to not give out the password.

4. Asking for the User ID, password and answer to a security question to bank log-in information, so they can look around into account.

5. Not receiving the actual loan amount applied for.

6. Did not do a credit score check. (The Real Freedom Plus Financial requires a minimum score of 620 to qualify for a loan).

7. Trying to have money return to them that they actually did not send at all, while in Pending Status).

8. Sending a false PDF Warrant of Arrest by email.

We have learned from this that it's wise to do your due diligence in researching before applying for a loan. Doing it out of desperation is not wise.

We also notice on the ScamPulse.com Website, there is a few that match our Fraudulent Situation. They were done the same way, but we are fortunate that we have a good bank that caught it immediately, or the damage could have been much worse.

My husband and i were "approved" for a loan through Freedom Plus we began communicating with Harry Wilson whom is the "Sr Loan Account Manager" of this company. we did everything we were asked on our end being promised our loan we were in emergency need of due to being at risk of losing our home. Harry Wilson said we were approved & our funds would be available in roughly 2 hours. We got a notification from our bank that the money was pending deposit and once it was approved we went to take care of our bills and house payment, we were so excited that things were finally starting to look up for us. little did we know he had done a reverse deposit on our account and our account went negative over $6000.00!!!!! Our debit cards were turned off and our bank account is now closed and we are responsible for paying every single penny back to the bank!!!!

Texted me saying i was approved for a loan. Which i am actively seeking so. Them proceeded to ask bank details and debit card information despite the letter he sent that says on it that they do not ask for that information. So his actions and his paperwork had different storied right off the bat

I applied for a loan online and Mr Jack called me today and offered a fantastic offer and said that the finance side would be giving me a call RIGHT back. never got the call so 20 mins later i called the number back and Mr. Jack answered the phone as if he had been sleeping and said hello??? i said wow thats how you answer the phone? then said FREEDOM PLUS CAN I HELP YOU? i said No thanks and hung up. well he calls immediately back and ended up getting into a argue match and he hung UP. 100% THINK THIS WAS A SCAM!!! p.s. the state above was mine because i do not know anything except what he told me.
