Told me I was approved for a 5000 dollar loan wanted me to send them $300.00 first because my credit wasn't the best when I went to do a moneygram they told me to not do it didn't work. Then they told me to western union them the money to a name I couldn't been say. Thank god for giant food store's they told me it was a scam and don't do it!

Read this:
"It is illegal for companies doing business by phone in the U.S. to promise you a loan or credit card and ask you to pay for it before they deliver."

If you or a friend need a loan, you really should read this:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0153-choosing-credit-counselor
In fact, the more you need the money, the more urgent it is to read that information!
Protect yourself!
Recognize that NO legitimate company is going to offer you a loan, without their doing some background / credit checks on you, and they WILL generally need a snailmailed, signed contract.
If you or a friend fell for the scam, please try to educate your other friends. The only way to stop these scams is to cut off their source of money!
This company has been calling me non stop for the last 3 days even after I told them I already got my loan and to take my number off whatever they had gotten my phone number through.They ended up threatening my life and then asked 'Do I know what [***] even is? Because I will [***] up your life." Run away from these people screaming!!
