Scam- caller with an indian accent said I have been approved for a loan. Wanted my bank account number to wire me the funds. But they asked me to wire them some kind of upfront fee at first. Total scam, don't give them your bank account number.
This is a loan scammer. Said we are approved for 5000 when we never applied for this. Green card scam. Beware of this phone number. They have many.loans for everyone i think he said. It a scam Payday loan scam
Scammed me by saying I had to pay insurance before money given then had to pay western union fee and unfortunately I fell for it cause I was desperate to get bills caught up
Things to remember about loans offered by phone or e-mail: (Pay attention to item #4!)
Loans
1. No reputable lender will lend you money over the phone.
2. No reputable lender will lend you money by e-mail
3. On-line lenders are nothing more than conduits for another loan scam.
4. Advance fees for loans are always illegal. At least in most American states.
5. If you want to borrow money, go to an established brick and mortar lender that has been around awhile.
6. If you receive a call from someone with an Indian accent either a. threatening you or b. offering you something, you know it’s a scam and you should hang up immediately.
7. These people are predators, the calls are not random, they have information that they have bought from various sources and know your financial history. If you have ever taken out a pay-day loan, they have all your information. They know who they are calling. They like to pick on women, single mothers, the elderly and sometimes members of the immigrant community. Also, those who might be in financial difficulty.
