Received call on my cell phone--informed me I had been approved for the $5,000 loan that I had (not) applied for online on 3/5/2014. I pumped him for information; could hardly understand a word he said. He had my DOB. Asked to talk with loan officer; got cut-off (go figure); called the number back--did I want the loan or not? Would cancel my loan.
went to the web site he had given me repeatedly but it went to a service that was close to the same name. I called that company; customer service reported that they had had numerous calls and that the next thing the 'gentleman' would have wanted was closing costs or my account #. I knew it was a phishing scam--but wanted to know where they got my information. I did file a police report.
i got a call from this guy named jon from that number. He called me a ma'am and when i told him i was a man and engaged he told me i was a fa**ot pu*** a** mother fu**** and hung up, i called back and he said don't call back you mother fu***** bi***. I was very upset and it angered me very much.
Person called at 8am, left message. Called at 9am and asked to speak to my 9 year old son. I told him to remove this number from the dialing list. Called again at 3pm from "unknown" but it was the same person with same request for my 9 yr old about a 5k loan he'd been approved for. Repeated my request to remove my number and he began swearing, saying things like "in your p**sy" and "stfu m**f**er". I hung up.
called telling my son he was approved for a loan. wanted him to buy a green dot card for proof of identity for 173$. I told him no its a scam but not before giving him my bank info so the loan would be deposited in my account for him. Thank god they didn't get my ssn
