I was told I was approved for a loan in the amount of $8000. However, I had to make my first loan payment in advance. It was requested via Zelle or CashApp. User ID was blocked by Zelle for my protection. I was then provided a Bitcoin wallet address on CashApp. Had to send payment twice. I was provided with a wire reference for my loan but no wire ever showed up. I was told because wire was sent after 4 pm. Next business day, still no wire.

I received a text message stating that advance america has approved my loan application for up to $6000. When i trxted back they directed me to a website to fill out their application. The application seemed legit until it asked for my login and password to my mobile banking. I shut it down at that point.

On the 12th then they wanted 400.00 for insurance I did ,They said they sent it to my account that never showed up. Then I asked where my money was. They said they sent it . We asked them to verify the account number they sent it to. They read it back and there was 2 numbers switched around . I read the number for my account was not mine that they said it was sent to the wrong account . They said I gave them the wrong numbers but I did not . They said they tried to recover it from the account and said it was already gone . They said since you had insurance they said they will take care of it at their end. I was told that they will reimburse the money I had paid with the 5000 loan they will now double it with the money I sent in on top of it and then they wanted another 500 to cover this . They said it was costing 1500 to recover and they will pay for 1000 and I had to pay 500 . I told them I didnt have the money .

Cashnow lenders and Nick Cambell. They got me to give money they sent me, back to them through Wal-Mart gift cards. They said they wanted to help me improve my credit score so that I could get a loan through them. To good to be true I was desperate for this loan so I did all they asked. I believed I was ok because they sent me the money all I had to do was send the money back. But little did I know that the money that was sent to me was a bad check and my bank then later rejected it. So I was left holding the loss.

I was contacted on Facebook through the contact list. A man named Robert Granville said I can receive $25,000. First, he asked for $500. I gave him the codes later on. Then he asked for $1,000 more. I paid him by purchasing Apple gift cards from CVS. He kept on asking for more money. I stopped doing this a few weeks ago. I contacted him on Facebook. I told him I wanted a refund. He replied the he wants $300 more. I did not respond.

They promised a loan with a 6% interest rate, but I had to send them 125.00 to do so. Once they cashed my check, they sent me a link to a bunch of websites to apply to. NONE had a interest rate anywhere near the 6 percent and none would offer me the amount we had agreed upon. They scammed me out of 125 dollars and now will not refund my money unless I go back and apply to all of the linked options which does nothing but bounce me around to several different sites. They are scam artist, and no one would convince me otherwise.

The scammer claimed to be genuine, and took me to another website for verification. I started being suspicious but the red flag for me was when, after it claimed I had been verified, it still asked for another $150 before I could get the loan. I reasoned that no right-thinking person would be demanding such money from a beneficiary of his lending capacity

American Home Finance Group Inc under the name Patrick Sartin reached out to me on LinkedIn because I am in the real estate community. He offered me a loan to fund a deal at 5% interest and 100% funding. After an application period, and an initial payment of $1960, he advised me he would be willing to fund my deal. As I sent this to my attorney, Mr. Sartin advised this was a personal loan and the document that was drafted to my attorney was sufficient as the loan documents. He asked me to pay for insurance to back the deal and they kept calling for my $5,000. After that, he said he would fund it right away with no additional money required. He sent me a document with a Citibank logo on the top that looked like a wire transfer. He then told me that my wire transfer was pulled back and he needed more money to fund the deal. He then made me open a bank account for an "escrow" bank that took more money from me asking me for a deposit for an OTP (one time pin) in order to release the amount from the bank. Then the bank website disappeared. They then mentioned that the IRS needed another $8500 to release the funds to my account and that is how an escrow bank works. I then asked for him to cancel the deal and give me my money back. He said to allow 14 days and he would give me a refund. After 30+ days he said I would have to pay $1300 to release my funds to me that I have already paid. I told him that I would authorize him to take the $1300 out of the funds that he has agreed to return to me. He has declined saying that the money cannot be taken from like that and I have to give him $1300 to release it. Do not use this company and any of its affiliates as they are scammers out to take money from people

We got scammed as well! Same address, same business information, Harry Gal was our contact person. We signed the funds guarantee letter, sent him $1250 to process the loan, then he started asking for insurance money. His funds guarantee letter stated that the deposit was refundable several times, and that if he didn’t refund our money in a timely manner he’d owe $750 on top of the refundable deposit. We never saw a penny back. I went through chase bank, which is who he supposedly banked through but they couldn’t get him to return the funds. He lied to us and said he sent it back. I will be getting a lawyer. Very sad to hear I’m not the only family who these scammers got.
