My wife and I also fell for these idiots. Jerk #1 Keith Brown called from 206-317-1637 Cash Advance USA and offered us a 1800 dollar loan for 1st installment fee of 180 dollars. Money was sent Western Union with a promise of a direct deposit into our account of 1800 dollars by next morning. Jerk #2 Roger Banks then calls my wife to inform her that an additional deposit of 290 dollars needs to be sent to pay for Govt taxes. So my wife informs me of this prior and and we do some research and find out this is all a SCAM. Roger did at least give me the name of the Senior Managing Director is, William Graffet and they are located in Seattle, Washington. But he could not tell me the name of the owner or a physical mailing address to the company. I know it probrably will not do much but there is always that slim chance it may, my wife and I will be filing complaints with the Attorney Generals Office and the Federal Trade Commission department.
Yes I recently took out a loan for 300 dollars and it was deposit in my account some days later I get calls from a 206 area code and I was approved for 3000.00 loan. So I asked for the 1500.00 and was told to deposit 195 and send western union. Then was told in order to receive the money I needed to pay a tax of 210.00. And then my money would be western unioned to me. Idk what to do or believe. My wife is mad and I don't know if I should chance it or just except the 195.00 gone...what can I do?
Recommendation..... swallow your losses of 190 dollars and be grateful thats all they can get from you. First contact Western Union and file a Fraud report at 800-448-1492, then contact your local Attorney Generals Office, Police Department and the Federal Trade Commission Department at 1-877-382-4357 and file a Fraud complaint. I know it sounds like a loss cause but this allows these idiots to continue to be on their radar and hopefully get caught and all put in jail.
US CASH ADVANCE,OR CASH ADVANCE USA.THEY HAVE A ACTUAL WEBSITE
THEY WILL HAVE YOU GO TO A SITE WWW.INTSTANT FUNDINGS.COM THEN THEY WILL ASK YOU TO JOIN A JOIN ME WEBSITE AND THEN ASK YOU TO TELL THEM THE LITTLE NUMBERS THAT APPEARS AT THE TOP OF YOUR SCREEN FOR SOME REASON I DONT KNOW.
1ST MISTAKE IS THEY WILL HAVE YOU GO TO ANOTHER SITE AND TO PULL UP YOUR CREDIT SCORE FROM ESPERION SO THEY Can send it to the lender so that they can approve the loan .not the case....
then talking really fast they will explain to you that in order to complete the transaction and you have a small time limit to so this and give them your personal info b date social security number credit card or debit number routing number and bank account number. one you do all of that they will tell you to go and send 150.dollars to india to a guy named SYED AMJAD in india via western union.im quite sure there are towns there in india but refuse to say where in india this scammer is located...
by the way that 150.00 you sent is worth 8,197.00 in indian rupies.
i hope whom ever done this will choke on that goat or yak they are eating and die for all i care ..
they will lie and say that their office is closed in new york ..bunch of bull .
the truth is that it does not exist.!!!
i went and applied to lifelock and paid 25.00 a month for full protection from any fraud and protection from and identity theft cause you never know what those indian people will do with your sensitive information.it could be used for crime or a terrorist orginization like hezzbolah or the taliban that is hurting our troops ..!!!
i also let my bank know also that i may been victimized my indians and they put out a alert for possible..
IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED CALL YOUR BANK IMMEDIATELY SO THEY CAN PUT OUT A FRAUD ALERT ON YOUR ACCOUNT...
it may be a pain but the bank told me to close the account and get another one and that will make that account inaccessible to those scammers .
i called customer service and told them about the incident and was told to go to a website www.ic3.com and file a complaint . i guess it follows up with a crime report about these scammere. wether anything happens i dont know but letting everyone know about this scammer people that is in bad predictament needs to be protected from these indian predators..
