I received a call and the number that pops up is (213) 456-7890. I spoke to a person named Garrick and he stated that his call back number is (469) 444-0081. I thought it was a bit fishy, so I asked the name on record, they did give me mine and my correct phone number, but the street address they had was one that i hadn't lived at for 2 years and also they said FL and I am in CA. He quickly said oh it must be the wrong person and hung up before I could ask any more questions. I called the 213 number back but it just says cannot be completed as dialed and the 469 number is just a busy signal!!
I applied for a couple loans online the next day, 2 days ago, I wake up I get a call at 830am recording saying we have a lawsuit filed against your ss number and call this number back so I did his name was Edward he said I have a lawsuit and he's gonna transfer me to George the "state attorney generals office" George gets on and tells me I have a lawsuit against me that I applied for a loan and committed fraud I have 3 criminal charges against me and that the cops will be at my house in 10 to 15 mins with a warrant for my arrest and 7 years in jail for fraud. he proceeds to ask me if I have family to come pick up my 2 children, 7 months and 3 years, I tell him no my family doesn't live here with me its just me and the kids then he tells me he has it worked out for social services to take my kids and I will go to jail. I tell him no what are you talking about I filled out a loan I'm sorry I messed up one thing on the loan but I wasn't approved and I didnt get any money so how am I being charged with this. he tells me to avoid court and jail I have to pay 3,030$ in one hour to him or the cops will be there. then he tells me this line is being recorded your not allowed to tell anyone about this case and you have to stay don't the phone with me no calls or texts until you send the money if you tell anyone or hang up the cops will be there. we got disconnected. a number calls me its the police dept for my city saying I hung up on the attorney and ththat she will be there in 10 mins to arrest me. nothing ended up happening figured out its a scam. now since then I have received numerous calls from different numbers I've never seen all saying I've been approved and I have to send a fee money gram for processing tthen within 30 to 45 mins I'll have my fee back and my loan. so okay. well I couldn't come up with the 185$ he wanted for the loan. he calls me. I tell him I'm very sorry but I can't come up with that money and I will have to pass. I don't even have gas to make it to walmart to send you the money. then he says that's okay ma'am I can talk to my supervisor and see if we can deposit 200-300$ into your account then you send it back to is to prove that your a loyal customer and are going to pay the loan. I tell him I'm negative in my account so I cant send all the money back. he tells me (this is all today 4-21-15) its okay you can just go first thing in the morning and open a new account then call me with the information I'll put the 300$ in your acct and you can send it right back to me then I'll send you the loan to your acct. sooooo now that you have the story is this a scam?it sounds good but I don't know if I can trust him. I don't have to send him any of my money now he will put it in my act then I send it backthen i get my loan...it almost sounds too good....but I feel like I'm not loosing any money if they're sending me the money to send back...what do I do?
*******It is ILLEGAL to pay before getting a loan!!! ****** Do you really expect to get that money back? This is a scam!! Do NOT give your bank account numbers!! You told him you had no money. Would a real bank give you $300 dollars - or would a total stranger give it just because you needed it??
IF there really was a lawsuit, you would receive a summons WITHOUT notification. There is NO jail - it is also illegal to make threats (take away children). If he keeps calling, I suggest you check in with a local lawyer who hands pro bono cases (or even mention the calls to the police or call your local courthouse - civil division).).
There is NO arrest coming even if you did owe money. You were told a pack of illegal LIES! You received nothing IN WRITIONG that was MAILED to you, did you??? That is the official notification - not a phone call or email!!! This sounds like a SCAM to extort money from you.
I'm in the process of hunting them down, they underestimate my abundance of free time and love for getting even. I'll let you all know when I have "lendups" entire "staff" bleeding profusely from having all of their teeth chiseled out one by one. I've never seen India and it seems like a fine time to go!
I was just recently ( like 10 mins ago) contacted by someone who said they were from your company. I had applied for a loan. The woman and man both that I spoke with had a strong accent of Indian descent. They game me their number as 469-444-0081 and the address as 237 Kearny St, Suite #37, SanFransico CA 94108.
