A call from A Sabrina Wilson Telling that I was approved for a 1500 dollar loan. Wanted my information (bank, account #, ssn, address, and all, but never presented a payment contract.
Got a call the other day from (202)380-3449. The call i.d.ed himself as Ricky Foster. He appeared to have a accent of some sort. He said I can get a loan for $1500's! Thought it was to good to be true. I said yes I was interested! He claimed he had to finish the paperwork for the loan and he would be getting back to me later that same day. Well, a few days went by and no call from Ricky. Finally, a Carter with the same type of accent called yesterday from (202) 380-3450 and said he was working with Ricky and was finishing the paperwork. He had me go to Western Union. He wired me $178. He then had me wire it back to him as payment for the $1500 and said it would be wired to me through Western Union the next day and I could pick it up any time after 9 a.m. He said all I needed to do was show them a control number and say it was a friend sending me the money. Well, I went up to Western Union today and sure enough, nothing was sent to me and I had to say who it was that was sending me the money. I tried calling this Carter, but only got his voice mail. This to is a SCAM! The numbers (202) 380-3449 and (202) 340 3450 are one in the same ( they're connected). Don't fall for this. Also, he said to send the money and I would received the money from outside the U.S. In fact, it was sent to and would be coming from Pepals!
