Impersonating a representative from a loan company Lending Club. Stated bad credit score can be raised with extra fees. Promised a loan with low interest rate and low monthly payments after credit repair fees were paid via gift card exchanges. Ensured that loan would be processed by wire transfer, after verification fees were processed.

I received an email from Lending Club stating my application was not approved. I never applied for a loan so I called a number I found on Google to ask if the company is aware of fraudulent emails and if they have been hacked recently. I was told I couldn’t be helped unless I provided my date of birth and last four digits of my SSN. The man said if I provide that information he would be able to confirm I am who I say I am and he will be able to transfer me to the right person. I told him confirming who I am is irrelevant since I never applied for a loan so he has no information to compare my information to and all I want to know is if this is a scam/phishing problem. I noted I do not feel comfortable providing additional personal information because I’m calling to ask if this is a scam in the first place. The conversation was condescending. I am deeply concerned about my personal information now.

Scammer said no upfront fees then proceeded to ask me for $150 upfront and says it"ll be refunded at the first months payment. The other Redflag was he asked me to open up a green dot prepaid card and he'll "wire" the funds on there. Scammer had a thick indian accent.

Jack Smith California represents Lending Club in the most vile way possible. He offered us a 5000 loan, and said it would be available at midnight December 13. Yeah. Well, I've read all about him now. My family is suffering in the worst way from CoVid! HELP

Eric called and said I was approved for a $1500 loan and all I needed to do was send money for insurance on the loan. I did that then they called back and said send first monthly pymt. I did that then they said money couldn't go into my acct so send fees for WU and Money Gram. I did that and now no answer and I still didn't get the $1500 loan. They will not answer phone now

They called us. Said we were preapproved for a loan of $8000.Had put $1500 in our account and then had us buy gift cards and send them back to them. I know we are so stupid for falling for this. But with the Covid pandemic , we are 5 months behind on rent and needed help. Now we have to pay the money back thru our bank

This loan “Agency” claimed that I qualify for an $8000 loan with a monthly payment of $262 per month for 36 months. I applied for many loans online for bad credit so I didn’t have much options I mainly wanted the loan amount to catch up on bills and get out of a little debt. I naturally was drawn in to follow all steps to get said loan I’ve never been scammed before so I was hopeful that it would never happen to me. They got all my personal info including social security number, address, bank account information. They had me pay fees with gift cards the first time was for $100 they said to prove that they would receive my money then it was for $315 for insurance fee that would protect me and them is what they told me. Then lastly was another payment of $350 of eBay gift cards for and ETF fund that would finally them to send the loan amount into my bank account. Then I get a message saying that I sent the money to the wrong person and they claimed the person I sent the money to was a scammer that the number I sent the gift card codes to was hacked by “ Jamaicans”. I know I shouldn’t have trusted them and not have sent any gift cards which was a weird request but I really thought I would get the loan of $8000.

I had connected with the Lending Club for a personal loan. I was sent an approval email for an amount from a Loan Manager named Shawn Thomas. He was extremely polite and made sure to build trust with me. He stated that my bank account needed to be verified so that the loan can be transferred into my account. He initially stated that he would send me "$500" and to withdraw $400 and I would have to send it back. At this point, I started to get a really bad feeling about this and delayed doing it. Shawn continued to speak with me throughout the whole process and continued to earn my trust. I went through with his instructions. I ended up receiving a call from my bank stating that the funds he sent was via fraudulant check and I had to pay back the $400. I unfortunately did not follow my instincts because Shawn was very good at earning my trust. I eventually ended up speaking with Shawn who finally admitted that this was scam. I asked him if the whole Lending Club was a scam and he said no. So I am not sure if he is connected with the Lending Club Corporation or somehow got my information from somewhere. I've sent a message to the Lending Club from their website, filing a complaint.

I applied for a loan with the Lending club they approved me for 8,000 but I only accepted 5,000 they had me send $100 “as conformation” that I would be able to pay the $100 monthly payment I sent it they told me to wait 30-45 minutes saying my money would be in my account. I waited and waited then I received a phone call from the manager Daniel and he stated it was mandatory for me to have insurance in case something happened to me I told him I didn’t have the money for any insurance even asked why it was mandatory for insurance even told him I’ve never heard of any places they do loans to have insurance so I didn’t want the loan anymore and I asked could he refunded the $100 I had already sent til I had got the other half of the money he told me no he could save my application til I got the other half of the money told him I did not have it and I was ok that I didn’t want the money anymore so just refund me the $100 he told me no he’s not refunding anything he hung up on me multiple times they were calling from TEXTNOW number never sent conformation emails like they said they did.

I applied for a loan. Was called and told I was approved. Asked for banking info and social security number. Then stated they needed to do a verification as follows: stay on phone and go to Walmart store, purchase a personal gift card in amount of $400 to repay the amount they supposedly deposited into your account. Scratch off area on back of card that shows last 4 digits of card number and PIN number. Take picture of back of card and text it to the phone number you are on with. If you do not do this you are threatened with them closing your bank account and legal suit. You are to wait about an hour for next phone call. What they Don’t tell you is they have filed dispute claims on your bank account. Then they tell you to do another transaction like the one above because your credit score is not high enough for them to release the loan amount into your checking account. The amount was higher, $1,000. Then they called to say credit score still not high enough and need to do another transaction. I stopped at this point. Changed my bank online I’d and password; had bank issue me a new debit card. I have requested this company send me the $1,400 via Moneygram. I doubt I will ever see this money. I am contacting the bank and federal officials to see what they can do. I will probably have to pay the bank back the temporary credits they applied.

They gave me a call and told me I was approved for a loan. After telling me I was approved they ran me through rings to try to get the loan including changing my debit card and going to target to buy gift cards. I was obviously skeptical but after reading some reviews(fake) online about how trustworthy they were. And also after receiving a fake transcript of my loan I complied. They kept calling me to tell me my money was on it’s way for about 24 more hours until the man just now changed his number. And I now have no way to contact him

Call saying that they approve the application that I got denied from another company. Then asked for information that they would have had if that had the application they implied they had. Once I explained that they were asking for information that they would have if she actually had pulled up an application, she hung up on me.
