I was desperate for a loan, because I need to move, and pay off some bills. I applied to so many agencies, who sent my application to several lenders. I’m in bad shape financially (short sale on house a few years back, plus I’m disabled, and while I was waiting for a decision, I fell behind. There are also Medical bills, I haven’t paid off yet...all of this dragged my fico way down), so no one was willing to give me a loan, especially on a fixed, monthly income. I get a text the next day, saying they could approve a loan for $3k - $5k. I told them what I needed, they asked some legitimate questions, and directed me to their online form. I filled it out. The next day, they deposited a check into my account for over $900. They said they wanted to make a smaller deposit, to help my credit, and they would take it right back, making it look like I paid a lender. Well, my bank saw the check and knew it was fraudulent. They contacted me right away. Now I have to put a fraud alert on all three credit reporting agencies, which involves using office equipment I don’t have, go to my bank and change all of my account numbers, and my online profile. What a pain in the neck! And they’re still trying to contact me. The company called me again (with the number (321) 292-7713)

The scammer sent a fake agreement and contract of 5000 with an interest of 10% asked for banking information and got my social security number offline from another site in which I applied for a loan not through this scammer

I received an email from Advanced America saying I was approved for a loan. I checked out the company to be legit since I did use them before. The man I was speaking to Wilson Green gave me the info on the loan repayments and it sounded good. I gave my account access for them to deposit a trial amount but they deposit $393 and wanted me to go to western union or money tree and send it back to them. I thought a loan company would not do such thing. I called my bank and reported fraud and to remove the check from my account and now my account is frozen which I don’t mind to protect my account. I’m not sending money that a check hasn’t cleared my account yet. I googled this info and it looks like fraud to me.

I received an email stating I was approved for a loan at 5% APR rate. No fee or insurance to start loan. The loan amount was for $5000.00. Thankfully I did my research and these scammers have been using the advance logo for quite some time. They have also been sending bad checks to consumers putting them in debt.

I got a call and was told I was approved was asked to buy American Express card put $105 on it ,so it could be sent western union. They were having server difficulties so it would be sent 1st thing in the morning. I called the next morning and I was told due to my low credit score I had to get insurance which was $490 for a $5000 loan so I sent it and then was told it was on hold ..i was asked to send 10% of the loan and it would be taken off hold and sent. So I asked 4 the other $600 back and they refused. Asked if I could borrow money from someone,pawn something. I told him no and he got mad and loud!!

Got scammed for $960 from the guys. Claimed to be operating as Advance America and approved me for a loan of $5,000. All good but I first had to receive money from them & I in turn would send the money back to the with a Walmart gift card???? I knew it was ** but I did it anyway . Couple days later the money they sent later from two checks bounced, caused NSF charges on my bank account, and put me in a bind but all good. Hope the cats get caught.

My wife and I were trying to get a loan for Xmas when a few days later I recieved a text stating we were approved for one asking for an email to send details to. Once I called to find out more was informed they would make 2 deposits one to determine if the account was legit which we would have to return and than a second for the loan.

I've been applying for loans online. I got a call from Cash Loans dba Advance America. He said his name was Michael Davidson. He had a Middle Eastern accent. He offered me $5000. They deposited a check into my account. I was instructed to go to Walmart or Walgreens and buy Google Play card, in the amount of $100 and that it was a test to boost my credit score and show that I was credit worthy because I had a low credit score. I used my bank debit card. I bought 2 one hundred dollar Google Play cards from Walmart. I called them back and gave them the security numbers off the back of the cards. I took pictures of the cards and sent it to them. They said they would call me back tomorrow, to give you a loan. They called back and said we need you to do it again because it was too late for our finance department. So I went to Walgreen and bought another 2 Google Plays cards for $100 each. I took pictures of the back of the cards and sent them to them again. They said it was too late in the day and the finance office wanted me to do another one the next day for $670. He said you don't have to buy Google Play cards anymore, just go to Walmart and buy 2 Walmart gift cards. In the meantime, my bank had frozen my account as they thought the activity was suspicious, but I asked them to unfreeze it, I told them it was me. So they unfroze my account and I went to Walmart and 2 gift cards: $500 and $170, and scratched off the security number, and took pictures of them, and sent them. They guy said he would call me back to confirm the $5000 was deposited. I checked my bank account on my phone app, and the balance was negative $889. So I called Michael. He said the reason the loan wasn't deposited, was because I was in another state, and had to pay taxes. He said his company would pay $250 and I only had to pay the remaining $250. I told him I didn't have $250. I asked again why my account was in arrears. He said it's because the account they were using to run the tests have been closed.

That's when I knew it was a scam. I called my HR department and asked them not to deposit my check, but it was too late. I don't get another check until december 14th. My car payment, insurance, credit card payments are all late, and my credit score has dropped.
