This company pretended I was approved for a loan and asked for my bank info and drivers license images and work email then never responded despite multiple emails to them and ultimately stole all my information. I haven’t lost money yet but fear I will have my identity stolen at some point soon

Upgrade sends one letter a month claiming that I have an account that is 95 days past due and that I owe $2186.80. When you call the number they attempt to get personal information such as the last four of your social and your date of birth. This is a very obvious scamAnd I would like them put out of business

Scammer's phone18885678688,18443110088 Scammer's website www.upgrade.com Scammer's address100 Friars Blvd, West Deptford, NJ 08086, USA CountryUnited States Victim LocationMI 48103, USA Type of a scamCredit Repair/Debt Relief
The scam arrived in the mail masquerading as some sort of debt relief/loan service. The sheet talks about how I've been preapproved and "presceened" for this offer and how it is only available for a certain amount of time. Without even reading it I knew it was a scam, but it's the kind of thing older people or those unfamiliar with scams might take seriously.
Furious, I looked for a number to call to ask to be taken off of their mailing list, if it was real and was surprised when a phone number was actually listed (18885678688) but upon calling the number, I could not get to a menu to talk to a real person and the only thing I would allow me to do was enter my SSN. Suppposedly there is a website you can go to to submit an optout request, however I have not gone to that website for fear that it will damage my computer.
Like I said, for anyone who doesn't know to be wary of everything received in the mail/email or on the phone, this could potentially steal there identity.

Victim Location11203 Type of a scamAdvance Fee Loan
I thought something was wrong when I called the company, and asked why was it taking so much time to complete my application on line. They stated I needed to give my banking information so the check can be put in my account.
Received letter in mail stating I qualified for pre approved loan offer
