I recd a call this morning at 9:00 AM from Advance America; 631-606-7983 & I spoke to Chris who had a foreign accent. Chris said he would loan me $5000 for 24 months; interest 2.23%. He instructed me to go to Walgreens and purchase a green.dot visa prepaid card for $200. Then I should call him back when the purchase was made.

I was told that I should not open the card but give him the numbers in the back of the card. I did not purchase the card but when I called the 631 number a name appeared, Reddy Rajesh.

I,Tessa applied to this outside state cash advance that I have seen over the web. I desperately needed a loan for my storage. They demanded $200 money gram to their company to receive a loan of $3,000. Pre approved. Once they received it they told me that I needed to send them more money because of bad credit history. I couldn't believe they wanted more when they already said I was approved I demanded my money back, they said it will be returned within 7 business days. It's been 14 business days. My lawyer called them the man who filed loan (Sam) said he will not return the money and will not state why.

They called and told me that I qualified for a loan. Because my credit was poor that I I needed to send them a money gram for 250.00 for loan insurance. I asked him for the insurance companies name, he said that it was within the loan company. He had all my banking info, my address. I told him it would take me 2 hours to be able to send him the money. I did this so I could check it out with the BBB. They told me it was a scam. From his accent he is of foreign descent, and saidhis name was Kevin Miller.

I got an email that said I was approved for $5,000 loan. Called the phone number, guy said to wire $200. He read all the last 4 digits to my social, account number and routing number. I knew it was a scam right then and there. Did not wire any money. I am calling my bank to let them know. I have attached the exact pdf I received in the email.

I was suppose to get a loan, it seemed legit, they said it was a federal government company. I sent them $200, and they said the loan along with the $200 would be in my bank account in 30-40 minutes. After 1 hour, I called them back to cancel it because I had a feeling it was a scam, and he said that I can't get a refund but he can get his $2000 back.

This loan company sent me an email telling me I was approved for a $4000 loan,now since I had applied online for a loan I believed it to be legit .I searched the name of the company,Advance America which is a legit company but this company wanted me to go buy a $144.00 Amazon card,take pictures of it,front and back and send it to them....I fell for it,then later they wanted me to buy again a $300.00 Amazon gift card and do the same..This is when I realized it was a scam..There were no address,no web page,they didn't have a customer service so I told then to cancel the loan I didn't want it...They become very irate with me...I told them I was turning them over to the BBB and also the Attorney General..They kept calling me and I kept telling them I was reporting them....I can't file an official report here since they have no address,web page or url.....They stoled $144.00 from me...They are not part of the real legit Advance America....

We got approved for a loan of $3000.00 from Advance America in Pennsylvania. The loan was approved (so they say) but needed 200.00 security deposit, (which we did). once that was done they said that the transfer couldn't go through b/c of a block to the bank and they needed $198.29, (yep, we did that too). After that they said it was something to do with IRS blocking it and all they need now is $100.00 and the money will be in account in 30 seconds. Well at this point we we're pretty sure it was a scam, but wasn't positive. So, we called back one more time and I even told them that I wasn't sure b/c they kinda seemed like a scam. They assured me they were not. The guy said he loved his job and didn't want to loose it and wouldn't do that. I questioned them on everything and they had great responses so it was iffy, but seemed like it was for real so yes, we went ahead with the $100.00 being told that this was the last step and our money would be deposited in 30 seconds. it wasn't and we are out $500.00 dollars. we want our money and them punished. He claims his name is Tim Carter, but now I have my doubts about that as well. We've been scammed for sure.

I  had initially applied online for a number of loans. I received a text message today from Advance America.  Message said I was approved for $5000 loan. Message stated to call them back. I called the number 718-717-2192. The person that answered was difficult to understand. They Instructed me to Moneygram $212 for insurance. I could barely understand the person I was speaking with.  The call was breaking up also. I had called number twice and thought it was strange I got the same person.

I had been receiving phone calls/emails, a payday loan Cash Advance America, and on the call ID the phone number reads, 1-214-614-9030, the gentleman’s name is Mr. Alex White, his title, Sr. Funding Officer (funding manager). I became very suspicious because he sounded like he was pushing for time, anxious for me to open a new account. He also gave me a list of banks to choose from to open this new checking account, 1USAA Bank, 2Wells Fargo Bank, 3Suntrust Bank, 4Capital One Bank and on one of them I clicked on, “Scams”, read the, “Tips to avoid being scammed.” I followed 4 tips below. I did not file a complaint because I did not follow through with his offer. He really sounds very convincing and as much as I need a lot of help right now, I do not feel comfortable following through with this offer or shall I say, “SCAM/SCAMMMER”!!!!!!.

1. Research the companies that solicit your business. Use resources such as the ScamPulse.com. If you can’t find any company information during your research, consider this a red flag and avoid doing business with them.

2. Avoid high-pressure situations or deadlines. If someone urges you to act quickly or advises you not to tell anyone else, you should be cautious about dealing with this person.

3. If a potential employer, unconfirmed business solicitor or potential buyer asks you to wire them money—don’t do it! It’s a scam.

4. Be suspicious of anyone who claims they can generate guaranteed profits quickly.

I was told that I was approved for a loan to be paid back in installments. After verifying all my identity information, I was told that I needed to send $250 to receive the loan thru Western Union. I told them I had no money and they said your loan is denied. When I asked them about all my private information, the guy responded with "[censored] your information". Now I am scared that my identity will be stolen and my credit will be ruined.
