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?
They are using the # 210 401-2393 Frank Anderson, and they sound east indian. This is the 2nd guy with a strong accent and an American name.I suggested they could call my bank and I could have them verify my deposit instead but they tried to feed me some BS about the law wouldnt allow this.Then not any ole money debit card would do, it had to be the vanilla one.The card with terrible reviews on the web. If it sounds too good to be true...then it most likely is.These people are trying to prey on people who dont have the time or resources to take them to court! Suprisingly no BBB report on them so far.
I was caught up in the Green Dot Money pack also. They could not deposit money in my account because of state taxes. They called me back after I did the transfer, told me I could get my refund from the bank once the transfer happened. It did not happen, I was told that I could go to western union pay more money and will get the short term money. My loan and the $242.00 is at western union. BS
I got a call from them that I was approved for 1500, but they wanted to speak with my husband who was not home. They told me to have him call them back at this number. I am glad that I looked this up, I will not be calling them.
They told me I was approved for $2000 - $6,000 but I had to put first $600 on a Green Dot card then lowered to $500 then to $250 ............ They said they wanted to verify the funds but I called Green Dot and they said if I give the code it would allow anyone who has the code to take the money with no recourse (I thought after, why couldnt Green Dot allow someone to verify a balance but you needed a pin code to spend the money) anyways they called a different number than the one on the card and I could not hear them dial or how they answered, sounded like a clown of the Loan Offifer all of them from India ............. they refused to send fund unless I put money on the Green Dot card ........... I am not sure if I missed a good opportunity or did I avoid a scam. I called the number after hours and they change there greeting ........... They also said they are "Ace Cash Express" located at 145 E COMMERCE ST SAN ANTONIO, TX 78205, I called the number to that location (210) 271-9556 and it was a Fax # and no one ever picked up ......... I called another "Ace Cash Express" location near by and they never heard of the names given to me and never heard of a process which a person needed to deposit funds on any prepaid card to show proof of anything .............. All signs point to SCAM but getting $6,000 is powerful and wishful thinking ................
