Recently I applied online for a loan, my car needed repairs, then one day I got a recorded message stating I was pre-approved for a payday loan, given a approval code, and instructed to go online to their site to complete the loan process. I cannot believe I was dumb enough to believe it was true, but regrettably I applied giving them my personal and banking information only to be re-directed to another site with a list of payday loan sites that would allegedly approve my application for a loan. I really felt stupid, but it's my fault for not investigating further into who these people were. If it's a scam or phishing scheme, I do not have any money in my bank account and I am going to notify my bank about this incident so I can close the account. This is a very hard lesson about dishonest people.

I received a call this morning - I checked caller i.d. (315-849-1031 Syracuse NY)
and did not answer since I did not recognize the number.
No message was left on voice-mail.
Always check caller i.d. and if you do not recognize the number - do not answer;
let the call go to voice-mail - then check if they leave a message.
If it is an unsolicited telemarketing call or if you suspect it is a scam; you should report to FCC
