This # called and told me I was approved for a Loan of $1500.00 with payments of $125.00 a month for 12 months. All I had to do was go to Western Union with a code Name "Eber Perez", send them $250.00, that I would get right back along with My $1500.00.
more than likely ( 99 % ) the " 202" area code fraud scams going around !!!
some are landlines...many are cell phones...some are spoofed and linked to offshore foreign countries !!!!
we've traced back most of these numbers to offshore foreign call centers in INDIA / THAILAND ETC....
here's a few other numbers posted from the same area code offering a wide variety of scams / collecting for non existant " payday loans "....free money / scam giveaways / $1,000's in free gov't money......... etc etc.....stories change out all the time......and the usual nonsense!!!
** mysteriously call to claim they have several thousand of dollars to send you....just provide you bank account and credit card right away etc etc.........scam scam
several of these are the usual long ongoing scams such as : you have won a free walmart / bestbuy gift card....or you have won a free ipad etc......all long ongoing scams
202-621-0436 ( offshore foreign call center ? ) poor english and violent on the phone! claim to be giving away $1,000's in free cash....just give them all your personal info etc....
This company called me several times and I almost fell for it until I decided to type in the phone # and realized it was a scam!!!! They told me I was approved for $3000 and my payments would be $270 a month for 12 months. I'm glad I listened to my gut instinct!!!! Ty for posting this you saved me from being scammed!!!!

Asking for MONEY UPFRONT is Illegal - there is no loan - just stealing money. Send it the first time - they will come back and say you need to send more money
They prey on people who really need the money - cannot afford to lose it and rarely look to see if it is a scam or not.
