This number showed up on my caller ID saying they are Advance America and needed me to send 400 dollars once they got all my checking and routing number to pay for a monthly insurance plan. they would wire me 400 to send back to them via Walmart or CVS or walgrens thru western union to send back to them because they cant find a local store in your area to do the transaction but when you research into the company they have a ton of stores around you but somehow want you to only use western union. They sent emails asking for personal information and security questions that only you know in case you forget your password, things obviously you don't need to give a lender company. It was like almost verifying who you were to a lender or a bank when they called to try and make payment or a wire transfer to someone else account when they need to verify more info about yourself. The names on the email and the name of the representative calling me was as follows:
emails were sent by:
Olivia Sanders at
[email protected]
Danniel George at the same email saying he is a supervisor as well
the phone numbers that contacted me where
773-377-6184
Advance America
please be very careful as they do not know any more info about their company and are clearly running a scam by saying the need to contact HQ to see if you qualify and give the same amount of time to run thru the lending process. They say they will deposit into account using EFT instead of EBT and that you don't have time to wait for it to clear the process to get you the funds.
That is the biggest tip off if they want they cash right away and cant wait for your bank to clear the funds first before you move into trying to get them the money they sent you back. Be very careful. and if anyone has any more info on how we can get these guys behind bars or get them into custody please make yourself available or give up info so we can try to stop this.
