As a followup to my earlier comment, I just received a phone call asking me if I wanted the loan. I said I wanted my money back... and told him I think its a scam. Needless to say, he got very angry. Once again I asked him for my money back. He then threatened me with "legal action". I said basically to give it his best shot.
Advance fee loans are illegal period and in some states, so are the payday loans. Please be aware the scammers may also claim down the road that you have taken a loan and try to extort money from you that way as well!

I got a call from this number and they said they were AmLoan Corp and wanted to approve my loan - I've never applied with them so I told them I did not need anything and he asked if I wanted the number on the do not call list. I told him yes - so we'll see if i get anymore calls - I'll just ignore them.
