Hi Troy, this is Iron Wire America reaching out one last time to finalize your personal loan. If I do not hear back from you, I will assume you are no longer interested. Otherwise, let's jump on a quick call to discuss the next steps.

Fake loan I never applied

- Groton, SD, USA

Calls come from many different phone numbers and voicemail does not state the business name yet is asking for a callback to provide personal information, stating your Loan Application is almost approved for $63000 on a 60 month term. That'd be $1218 per month, repayment, with no upfront fee. The callback number in the voicemail is always different as well. There's no way to block the number because they'll call back on a different call back number and the voicemail will be different again for the business company callback. The number I got on the last voicemail was 8335883827, and searching online tracing back to Business name cision which states is PR company, not a loan company.

- Mason City, IA, USA

- Chicago, IL, USA

The scammer pretend to be a loan lender and approve victims for alleged loans, via sending emails of applications and approval letters, and loan confirmation approval letters, and then state via text that in order for the loan to be wired, the $145.00 wire fee plus processing fee must be paid by the victim, yet will be refunded, and to load the payment to a Green Dot Bank card, like the Walmart Money Card, and email them the picture of the receipt and card image. Then, the scammer repeat the process by stating that a low credit score arose as an issue with their team, and so, an additional refundable $165.00 will be required, and to also pay it with a Green Dot Bank card. And then the scammer will state that a final refundable $250.00 fee for their other team who send the money also need to be paid via a Green Dot Bank card—and when refused, they stick to the allegation—yet when the scam is reported to Green Dot Bank, the banking institution immediately close the complaint with the guidance to follow up with local law enforcement and to treat card information as cash—which does nothing for acts of theft by deception.

- Logan, IA, USA

Was offered a loan. Was sent an agreement to sign. Than had to pay collateral of 2000

- Saint Petersburg, FL, USA

Offered a loan, which was not real. Took a deposit, which I thought was weird…but hey desperate times…and I’m about to have a baby.

- North Ridgeville, OH, USA

A person named Kevin O'Brien, who claimed to represent Providence Monetary Group, contacted me stating I had been approved for a $5,000 loan with monthly payments of $218. They said if I couldn't find a cosigner, I could pay 3 upfront payments, totalling $655.00. However, they wanted the payment sent via MoneyGram to a person and to use the cash pickup option, and then they said the loan would be made available to me within a maximum of 3 hours. Upon researching the website, it says they have been in business since 1999, but there is no trace of them online except for their website, which also lists an address that is currently listed for sale. When I called a few days later asking about making the payment, this time they wanted me to send the payment via Ria money transfer because the original person was "unavailable." Thankfully my gut spared me a chunk of change I was not prepared to lose.

- Newport, PA, USA

They told me i had to veirfy my account and that they needed to make sure i wasnt a scammer. They put money in my account and then i had to send it back to them. They told i would recieve my loan in about 2 hours all depends how long my bank takes to issue it. Once i went back to chat and contact with them it said the company no longer uses the chat anymore.

- Houston, TX, USA

Applied for a loan

Received approval then was asked to pay deposit fee of 175.00 via Sephora gift card. I was told would receive loan funds in 30 min. WHICH I DID NOT. THEN I received another email saying I have to pay a 317.00 State of Texas fee. At that time I realized I was being scammed. Contacted scam company and they just kept insisting I pay the additional fee. I told them they were scammers and they hung up.

- Marion, NC, USA

Offered a loan of $3000

- Pico Rivera, CA, USA
