i applied for a loan online and the next day i got a call from a loan officer named alex rodriguez, he said i was approved for up to 10,000 so i said i only needed 1500 and he keeps insisting to get the money in my account i need to first buy a greendot moneypak and load 140 on it to show that i can make the monthly payments, but now he wants me to buy a vanilla reload pack and load the same amount and call him with the numbers so he cn see that i put the 4 on it, he says he works for us cash advance, he has a very strong accent maybe Australian, and its not funny at all i really need the $, is this a scam?? he calls me quite often and has called my work now, has anyone else had this happen?
Same thing here. Put $180. On a vanilla card and I will get a $2000. Loan. Calling from number 434-933-2365. I have called back a woman answers by just saying hello. Doesnt say a company name. Stay away from this one.
yes don't use the greendot money card for verification or this company - it is a scam - they take your money and don't make the loan and you can't get it back. i am looking into the vaniila card, which is supposed to be safe. they are not really this company because i later talked to this company and they were not the ones i talked to. i suspect they were from africa - the accent i hear is not australian..
i was looking to call the company that has the vanilla card to see if i can just show the money for the loan and immediately get that back.
i agree it is a scam = they were supposed to use the greendot as verifiction on mine and didn't give me the money back in or out of the loan amount and didn't give me a loan
the vanilla voucher is supposed to be safer in that you are supposed to be able to get your money back that you put on the card - i am checking on that now and will not proceed with my loan without verifying with vanilla that the money is only for verification purposes and is not able to be taken by the company
you shouldn't have to put money up front to get a loan
Same thing today for me. They tried and I researched before any commitment and them I called them out and he actually said to me oh I see you've been scanned before. Mike green and mike Cooper are also names they use. The calls don't stop either. Just answer and say I'm not interested in your loans. They stopped after about 5 of those.
