I received an email from a company called Cash America/Cash Advance. The Letter clearly stated that i had been approved for $5000, the letter was signed by Frank Miller at 1-347-434-3390. I proceeded to correspond with this company and when i called, i was transferred to a Senior Rep by the name of Kevin McCorny, at this point he told me that i needed to get a money pack for $110, which i did, called him back with the info and at that time he stated that i needed to get another money pack for $220, which stupid me did., called Kevin McCorny back and again he said there was another problem involving some past taxes that i owed. He said i needed to get another money pack for $280, everytime he told me to get another money pack, he stated it would be the last time money would be asked for. He kept telling me that the $5000 loan was approved and released but was being held up for unknown reasons. So at that moment i had given them $610. The next phone call i got was from a Sean Jetkins at the same number and he proceeded to tell me that the money had been released on their part, but i still needed to get another money pack for $410, which i did again just this morning. I called this Sean Jetkins back and he proceeds to tell me that they have run into another problem and i would need to send another $200 and again the statement was made that this would be the final amount of money they would ask for. So now they have $1020 of my money. I have been on the phone arguing with this Sean Jetkins that i am not sending anymore money that i want everything cancelled and i want my $1020 put back into my account. He goes on to tell me that if i cancel this loan there will be a $328 cancellation fee. I am so upset that i have been scammed out of this money and want to know if there is anyway to press charges against these 3 people who lied to me and took my money. I know now how stupid i was to
even send the 1st payment. Can someone help me, please.
I know before you say anything I am a D.U.M.B.A.S.S. I had a medical emergency with my wife and unborn son. I was desperate and I was at my wits end. I paid and paid and paid out money I didn't have. My sister told me to not do this but desperation can sometimes overtake judgement. I am out of $1,000 for a $5,000 loan. With all the money is released on our end and something has come up, and there should be a way to get the money back on the green dot money pak. I think although buying on eBay and such they come in handy but they absolve themselves of any other scenarios. I think
Advance America, Cash America/Cash Advance are all in cohorts with Green dot.
