Quick facts folks. Anytime you are asked to pay an advance fee for a loan, gift, prize, lottery, etc. It is a fake. 100% every time. If the method of YOUR fee is Western Union, GreenDot, MoneyGram, or any form of wire transfer. It is a scam. NO real business uses these forms of payment. None. They are the choice of criminals because they are CASH, untraceable cash. An advance fee for a loan in the US is illegal. A Payday loan is also illegal in many States. So if you go for one on the internet, and they are NOT in the US, and things go wrong - Well, you get the picture.
A michelle smith called me and said she was from first financial bank located at 9121 chestnut st san francisco ca and I was approved for a loan anywhere from $1k to $5k. The catch is I would have to send them $400 for a deposit. What a bunch of scammers. Beware and don't send any money. I'm sure if I google the address is some vacant building.
The same thing happened to me. They left a message on my voicemail that i was approved for a loan, when i called them back they wanted a deposit to send me $2000.00. Don't fall for it!
SAME THING HERE BUT THEY ARE CALLING OVER AND OVER AGAIN LITERALLY I HAVE OVER 20 CALLS FROM DIFFERENT SCAMMERS IT ALL JUST STARTED HAPPENING SINCE YESTERDAY. HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHO THE NUMBERS ARE SO I CAN REPORT THEM?
A person stated that He worked for First Financial of San Francisco and for me to send $100 because I had been approved for a loan in the amount of 1000. I scammed for this money...Please do not under any circumstance comply with Michael or any other name he states. This person has an accent of a person from the country of India...Shame on all these people.
