I received a voice message from a woman with foreign accent (she sounded as if she may have been from the African continent) advising me that my loan had been approved. I called back and spoke with a young man (he sounded as if he may have been from the African continent) advising me of approval of a loan that I applied for two weeks ago. I told him several times that I did not apply for a loan and do not apply for loans on line. There was a man in background, I guess giving instructions (alright, from the African continent), who took over the phone and proceeded with using profanity. I understood the four-letter words and a five-letter one to describe my person.
I advised him that he could not speak the English language and should not be offering loans under any circumstances and disconnected the call. I also added the number to my blocked phone list.
They say it's a loan company. Tell you that your funds will be in your account within 30 minutes. When you call them back they say you have to pay taxes on it before you gain access. But the money has been transferred. Not True..... I refused to pay anything. If I owe the government taxes on the loan I will pay directly to them. I was told that is not possible
Hi, they just scammed me for $110.00. I didn't get suspicious until they wanted me to send them $117.00 more for government taxes. I don't suppose there's any real recourse for me, but I can't figure out why these companies are still in business? I suppose it's because they're run from out of the country and now I'm getting dozens of calls everyday from other scammers. I'm glad I didn't send them more money, but am so upset with myself for being so stupid in the first place. I just wish we could do something about this to get our money back for those of us who fell for this and to stop these scammers from doing this to others!
