They called pretending to be a loan company stating that I had been approved for a personal loan that I previously applied for. They sent contract via email. And later they requested my online banking log in and password information and copy of my id.

The guy first called said his name was TJ, asked if our company can use some funding because we were applying for loans. Then he called back after getting info but his name was then Matt. While on the phone a lady called with an accent tried to say our files were passed over by her supervisor. This went on for a while until I told my wife it’s got to be a scam.

I had been applying for loans when i received a phone call from "Ace Cash Express" stating i qualified for a loan between $2000. and $8000. and asked what amount i needed. They emailed me a form to sign and asked for a photo of my drivers license. They then contacted me stating i need to either get insurance on the loan or pay 5% in advance to prove i could repay the loan

After applying for several business loans online, I received aggressive calls and texts from someone claiming to be "ED ROMANO" from EZ Advance. He promised loans that were too good to be true. He called from 2 different umbers, neither come up as EZ Advance. One phone number 929-499-8718 came us VALE SIMALCHOVA on my caller ID. The other number, came up as CHARLES LAPALME.

I felt strange about it and asked "ED" to send me an email with his credential and institution name. He was reluctant and said he preferred talking, but I insisted. He sent an email with a very generic signature and a Linked in. The Linked in picture just didn't match the voice and only had 16 connections. I was unable to find any information on the company, such as licensing, reviews, etc.

I did a simple reverse image search on the profile photo which resulted in many matches ,none matching an "Ed Romano".

I told him I would pass via email. He then continued to bombard me with texts telling me that he was not a broker, rather a direct lender and had my bank statements in front of him....He just needed me to do a few things to get started. I blocked him.
