Just got a call from 718-674-1471. This company has used many different #'s to try to reach a "Ronald" They are all phone calls from reps w/ heavy accents. I have been telling them for the last 4 months "There is no Ronald here - please remove me from your list!" Well, today the rep on the other end of the phone told me " Well, who am I speaking to?" I said it was none of his business bc I have nothing to do w/ this Ronald. "He said well, how long have you had this #? Bc he took a loan out "... I stopped him and said - I do not care to know his business as it has nothing to do w/ me. He told me "Then
you need to change your #!" I lostit! I told him I have had my # for 8 years and that I am lodging a complaint w/ their company. I have every # they have called from and I am placing a complaint against them! AND for sharing other people's business... thatis against the privacy act. Stand your ground while talking to them!
Thanks to these comments, I didn't get scammed. These snake charmers are scamming people in need of financial assistance. They will tell you that you qualify for a loan and then ask you for bank information so they can deposit the loan funds. After, they put you on hold for a loan specialist to speak to you. After getting assured that you will receive you loan after one more step because ur credit score in low.the last step it to deposit money into a valcher to show you have sufficient money to cover two loan installments.thereafter within three hours you'll get ur loan and themoney you placed in a valcher would never be touched. I glad I didn't do it. But do better than I did and don't give them any information.
My friend was taken for $500 from this man stating his name was Henry Scott. He promised her a $3000 loan but needed to make sure there was money in her bank account. After giving him her bank information, a copy of her photo id, and purchasing a prepaid netspend reload card for almost $500; he then told her that the money was in her account but they wouldn't release it until she went and purchased another $125 netspend reload card. When approaced to refund the money the man said that he would not be refunding her money. And that she could have the loan money released to her bank if she would go get the $125 reload card. If you get a call from this man please please please do not give him ANY information. He has scammed her! He will you as well if you give him the chance.
