I went on the internet searching for a loan company to assist me with finishing my payments for college. Unfortunately after reading all of the above comments I now know that the company I had given $200 to (which is a lot for someone young in college) is a complete scam. An Indian man called me with a very strong accent from the phone number 1-682-503-3598. This man told me that I needed to be put on hold to speak to his supervisor. Then I get on the phone with the "supervisor" (was named Stanley Marshall) who also had an extremely heavy Indian accent, and told me I would be receiving a $2000 loan (which is what I requested) in my bank account by tomorrow. According to this "supervisor", he stated that all I needed to do was put $200 onto a MoneyPak card and give him the number on the back of the card as a deposit. I did so and got my money completely STOLEN from me. The two Indian men argued with me for days afterwards after I inceccently called them demanding my $200 back. They told me that if I did not stop calling them asking for my money back that they would call the police and I would be arrested. They said they "had all the information they needed in order to prosecute me." The "supervisor" then told me okay he would put it back into my bank account and never did. So now I am trading calls back and fourth with the GreenDot MoneyPak corporation trying to get my money back. Luckily I have my original receipt to send to the corporation, but I will stop at nothing to get my hard-earned money back. This is a complete SCAM currently being operated out of Euless, Texas. The phone number these scammers are calling from is a landline number as well. If anyone has any additional information to add about their own personal story with this fraud company please write your comments here. Thank you for hearing my story.
I received call 8/29 and they said I was about to be sued and arrested for Cyber, Internet Fraud as well as applied for and received several loans that have gone unpaid. They said if I did not work with them, within 48 hours I would be arrested and put in jail. I immediately went to my local police department, reported this and they will further it onto the FBI.
I received a call from them over the last 2 weeks. Multiple calls a day threatening to arrest me and notify my employer I was being arrested. Some indian guy who was very persistent trying to get information to "check" if it was really me he was talking to. SCAM!
This is a criminal extortion ring operating out of India. ABC News released an investigative report on it in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:
