I had received an offer what I thought was a legitimate payday loan offer. I Called the person listed on the offer letter. He told me that there was a processing fee of $100.00 which I could purchase an iPhone gift card and load that money on it, which i ended up doing. Then, the next day came. He said that I needed to purchase insurance for the loan. That's when I realized there was something wrong and that I needed to do some research. My research led me here.

To whom it may concern: Do not talk to anyone claiming they are from Advance America (SC), they will advise you to go to any CVS, or Walgreens, they are liars and this guy saying his name is Jason Brown number is from 803-220-1435. Do not give any information and send money. Who ever is reading this, BE AWARE!! They claim you are approve for $2000, its BS. It is under investigation with this matter.

I was looking for a loan and this company called me to offer me a loan. Once offered they told me that my bank did not accept deposits from them and I would have to pay $50. I had to buy an iTunes card and send them a picture of it. Then the next day they said there was a 75.00 fee but assured me there wouldn't be another. So I did it and now they will not even take my calls. They are using the Advance America symbol from the well known payday loan company

Jenny called with a thick accent that reminded me of possibly India but I am not 100% sure. She said she was with Advance America in regards to my loan application. Which I have applied to many loans recently and I do not remember every single loan results that I applied for. Assuming it was legit enough as the name sounded close enough. She first asked me how much I wanted to borrow. It was approved almost to quickly and without hesitation. Then requested to have personal information texted to the number she was calling from. The background noise was not that of a typical loan agency. Information was texted to two different phone numbers. In which after the info was given, Jenny changes the plan and requests to know if there is some bad credit or open account under my name. There is I informed her of my directtv account. She informs that she will have the lender put $200 into the account, in which I was to send back the money before I would receieve my loan amount. "To build credit".

Jenny: Do you have any stores near you?

Me: Walmat

Jenny: Can you go to walmart now?

Me: What Am I getting at walmart?

Jenny: Payment.

This payment was not explained fully. I was unsure if it was to be a MoneyGram or a gift card. She was pushy and raised her voice multiple times getting bossy like. I informed her that she did not need to talk to me in that manner.

I was already suspicious of the situation as she logged into my bank account. But, I was done when she requested the deposit verification code given via text message to my phone from my bank. I asked her how come you need the code? She said to verify it is you to deposit. I question why my direct deposit did not need this code. Then I was done. I knew it smelled off from the beginning. I tried to get as much information out of her as possible once I realized that is loan was not a good idea to continue with.

I’m concerned that these scammers are pretending to be from Cash America located at 7622 University Blvd, Winter Park, FL. 32792 (321-392-0841) . The have obtained my bank routing and bank account numbers. However, I became extremely suspicious because they asked for my banks password and user id.

They have called me more than 4 time within the past hour demanding my password and user name. emailed me 3 times. texted me twice.

description: very thick aerobic accents. two guys trading the phone pretending to me the Loan Officer, Mike Stone per the emails that they sent to me.

I have asked them to verify the business license number, owners name and contact telephone number, and the business federal tax identification number. Nothing has materialized with regards to these demands from me.

I'm very concerned that these scammers will take advantage of an unsuspecting American.

I was working with this company for 3 days trying to receive a payday loan and I was told by Don Watson that because my credit score was so low that I had to make a payment of $200. I purchased a $200 gift card from CVS to verify the payment and when i called Don back he stated I purchased the wrong gift card and that card couldnt be used, he told me to return the card. I asked the store manager if i could return the card and he stated because the card was activated already that it could not be returned!!

Sean contacted me that I was approved for a loan for ***. They deposited money in my checking account then had me go get Walmart gift cards to pay back the deposit. The cashier check that was deposited came back as fradulant and taken back from my checking account. They stated this would improve my credit score.

I had entered for a loan in the past gave them my information. Then a California number called me many times. I finally answered and the man said his name was John and he was gonna help me with a loan. He told me that I'd have to pay $75 for a transaction fee and then $112 for some activation. I told him that I decided I didn't want it and he proceeded to tell me that they had already sent it that a Cherie Villanueva from Easley South Carolina was waiting on $187 from me. He said I'd receive that money back but I refused and he kept telling me the money was already sent to the store.

I was searching online for a loan, this company notified me by email that I had my application approved for $5000. Once i contacted them they had my information due to other online loan companys i was seeking out. they talked in a foreign language so i have no idea where they are. But they told me I must go to Wal-Mart to purchase a voucher in the electronics dept for $150 of my own money. Then go to money gram to get the verifacation number, (all so confusing) so somehow this would show them that i would be in good standings for the loan. I was so careless in giving out my information, they certainly give you the run around.. but they make sure you have online banking. After I went to wal-mart I knew that this was a big scam!! They had me going through different steps in order to get more information about my account clear to a sercurity code that is only usable for a short time.. Its harder for me to write what happened than talk to a person about it due to the memory. My bank phoned me today and said that shortly after i went to my bank on July 19, 2017 and closed that accout that someone had tried to deposit a bad check into my account to probably try and get a withdrawel today. if I recal his name was Peter Williams whom i was dealing with. After I told them I was reporting them to the ScamPulse.com i recieved a phone call that was pre-recorded that it was the IRS and to immediatly call the number that the had given me to resolve the issue of somthing to do with my bank and my finacial situation. Then later in the day on the 19th another person attempted to call me and it was the same people but different voices.. I had put there phone number in my contacts because of the numerous phone calls we were making back and forth and it was easy for me to id that it was them calling.
