Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

They claimed i had been approved for this loan of $3000 but then wanted to go and tell me that due to my credit score that i would be responsible to pay for protection insurance. They stated they would deposit the funds for the insurance costs only and then wanted me to via a money center or cash app send those funds back. Then they stated within 2 hours of that i woild receive the 3000.00 so i knew it not to be real.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

I received a vm from a company called "Surety Meditation Solutions" and advised I needed to call back as I was the respondent to case file. I returned the call and the phone was immediately picked up and someone said is this such and such (my name), I said yes but was caught off guard as there was no (800) number, there was no automated system, and the person who picked up didn't announce the name of the business or that this was an attempt to collect a debt.

I spoke to someone named Morgan who told me they are not a debt collector but a mediation firm and that I was going to be sued for a pay day loan from some place called EZ loans because I had a $1500 outstanding balance. She said someone was being sent out to my home to assess my assets and that my information was being sent to ChexSystems so my accts could be frozen.

I explained I've never had a payday loan from this place and don't owe this debt. She tried to verify an old company and the name of a bank I banked with. I explained I couldn't confirm any information with her and had to go.

She offered a settlement as she stated the company would give me two options, I could pay a one time settlement of $407 or break up payments for $600+. I told her ai wasn't sure about that, I'd need to check my accts to see how I could make that work and I'd have to call back. We hung up and I immediately called attorney.

The scammer offered a $70k loan for my small business. Required me to complete 2 smaller (horrible) loans and pay 2 different fees for "refundable for loan insurance" and "underwriter fee" and then ghosted me when it was time to wire the $70k loan. I have all documentation, etc. I have sent a complete file to the Attorney General of New York as well. I would like to provide all of the detail to a direct inspector. I realized during this submission process that they are using YOUR address. Specifically suite 501. So I am not sure how to proceed. Please contact me.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

My husband received a text with my name on it. It said I had taken out a loan with EZ Money several years ago. They had my name old address, current address, old employer, old bank account, and my ss#. They said I took out 925.00, and did not pay it. They said the balance was 1,895.95 now, but they would settle for 1,032.95. If I did not get back to them in 2 hours they were going to send someone to my house to take an inventory of my assets, and a discovery packet would be sent to the county clerk's office on April 9th. I demanded proof, or the original contract and date of the deposit of the loan. They kept telling me that it would be in the discovery packet. They said they did not have the contract. The first lady said her name was Sherry J****. Since I would not pay anything the transferred me to Todd in Arbitration. I kept demanding proof of the debt, like the original contract. It is my understanding that it is my right to request proof of the debt. I did not send them any money.

Jenny Stone contacted me and my family members claiming I owed money to a payday loan firm named EZ Money. They stated the last corresponded about this loan was in 2019 and now interest had accrued and I owe $3000. They will settle out of court for $1500 though, of course. If you won’t pay, they claim they will freeze your bank accounts through Chex Systems. They will pretend to forward you to a rep that works for Chex Systems when you don’t pay. Here, Kendall can offer you one last life line to Surety Mediation Solutions so you can save your account. She can even send emails from the same address as Surety Mediation employees, ha. If you ask many questions about legitimacy, they get frustrated but stay persistent in the face of outright being called scammers.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

I was contacted by the loan company through email. I was looking for a loan for $5000. Their initial application protocol was pretty standard for online loan application and sharing of information. They said that my credit score was low which it is and that the fees had to be paid to raise my credit score which they told me was raised up to 690, as of today’s checking it it was only 499 so that was a lie, they deposited money to my account asked me to take it out and cash app them I did and then they kept promising to deposit the full $5000 into my account and after I gave them the routing number and everything and so now I owe my bank money, and I had to pay the fees outright so I can’t get the guy on the phones. His name is Jeff Brown at 909-743-6968. I tried reaching other numbers that were posted on these paperwork that I have complete paper trail of all of my emails and transactions and screenshots I was scammed I’m 72 years old. I don’t need this. I was trying to get this money so I could take care of my out-of-pocket health expenses.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

I was contacted by a lady named Morgan Blaine claiming that I took out a personal loan with EZ Money EZ Corp back in 209-2011 and using scare tactics to claim to be a collection agency with the company called Surety Mediation Solutions.

It is a scam I have never taken out a personal loan and when I called the company ez corp they said they don’t approve loans in Florida which is where I lived at the time.

She claimed they would freeze all of my accounts and report me to Chex systems. She then transferred me to another lady who claimed to work for Chex systems but when I hung up the phone and called Chex systems they had no idea about any loan that I was owing for and verified that she was not an employee there was no notes or records in Chex systems of any conversations that they had with me either. They had my social, my old employer name and old bank that I banked with and also knew my old address from 10 years ago. More thank likely stole my personal details from somewhere.

I was contacted regarding a personal loan offer. Options for securing the loan (e.g., co-signer, monetary advance collateral) were presented. I opted for the monetary advance collateral, but did not follow through with the payment once I realized this was a scam. A reverse image search identified several similar webpages with the same pictures. A search of the webpage domain indicated that the webpage was established February 17th, 2024. The ‘lending specialist’ was charismatic and friendly, and made the offer appear legitimate. They attempted to get payment using an app called Shakepay. They are not registered as a business with the ScamPulse.com or the state of New York.

I was contacted by a Daniel Cross and a Tom Anderson. They both stated that I was approved for an $8,000 loan as long as I paid my first installment of $300, which I did through bitcoin currency on Cash App. Then they called back stating the portal they used did not have the accurate information on file for me so I needed to send an additional $300 for the new portal link. After sending the money, they continued to scam me by stating the IRS was taxing them for the $8,000 and I needed to pay $470 in taxes, which I stupidly did. Now they have almost $1309 of my money from the start. I just want my money back as I am homeless and living out of my car. This was my income tax return money for the year. I need that.

On 02/16/2024, they (M Cash Advance) approved a loan for me for 5,000.00. Said to cover their insurance cost they put 640.00 in my account to pay them. They txt me a bar code and told me to go to Walmart and load 640.00 on that with my debit card, which I did. Along with my banking curdentials ( I am so embarrassed) When I returned home I called them back. At which time he (Ray Spencer) was busy and passed me off to another representative that asked me for more money $311.00 to cover wire transfer fee's. I kept asking, "is this a scam"....No, was their answer. I was not able to take another trip to Walmart. They insisted...but I couldn't go. Then I was asked when and how soon could I. I told them tomorrow (02/17/2024). He said call him 740-661-2814 (this guys name is Jim Washington) when I arrive at Walmart. After sleeping on it I knew my gut was right, something isn't good. I had to lock all my debit cards and change my banking information. I knew better but they were sooo convincing.

They had an option to get my business the funding that it needed. They told me to wire them $15,000 to show that I was a good payer, and they would send me the details of the funding that they were offering me.
