Agree; scam artists. This morning rep said I could have a $3000 loan, but first need to send them $288 ! I'm not very smart, but I'm not stupid. Now they have called 18 times since this am.
Its illegal to ask for money up front for a loan period.. and anytime they ask its the first red flag. A green dot card or similar type card and western Union is another red flag..
Please do file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..
