Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

This started May 2022 when my son found them on FB. We then were contacted by someone named Gilbert M Juarez Jr about getting a loan which was done through FB messenger. The initial contract stated we needed to pay 500.00 for insurance/closing cost. we paid that then he stated we needed to pay $430 for maintenance cost which was not on the initial contract. We paid that. Then he stated we needed to pay $550 for the wire transfer fee. We paid that then he said we needed to pay the IMF cost of $350.00 which once again not on the contract. So at this point we paid $1,830.00 to this man. Then at this point i felt we were scammed and asked for a refund. Then he said we needed to pay to get a refund I cant remember how much it was I think it was $300.00 at this point I said enough not giving you a money to get my money back. So when we had issues with him in the beginning with false contracts and not abiding I contacted lendable on FB through messenger. They stated that they have told Gilbert to get the loan completed or lose his job. Well needless to say we never got our money back. In the beginning I did try to call the number that was on their FB web page and no one ever answered which they told me that they are busy and not always have someone available. That should of been the first sign to me that this company is not legit. Then Gilbert disappeared on FB and our messages stated not available. Lendable financial was also no longer on FB. Now as of yesterday they are back on and they contacted me telling me Gilbert no longer is with company and they want to resolve the matter and asked me not to file a claim with the attorney general fraud department. So now they are asking me for my bank information which they want: bank name, address, routing number and bank number, user name and password. I explained I will not give anyone my bank information and would never give someone my user name and password. I said no. there is no reason for you to have this information. Then she asked if I had a credit card for the refund. I said I am not giving you that. She said she understands i dont trust them but they are trying to fix everything without me paying for the refund. I asked to speak to someone on the phone. she said you dont need to talk to anyone its a simple process. Then lastly she said how do we get this resolved when you do not want to follow our guidelines we are trying to fix issue you had with gilbert. Mind you their FB was down from June 29th to now. They all of sudden contacted me on messenger stating we have been on a maintenance for few months and they can assure me that everything is fixed.

There is so much more discussions but this is the main points

I had applied for a bad credit loan so I thought that the approval email was from them. I replied to the email. They already had all my information including my address, social security number and routing and account number. I talked with one person and sent him what he needed for the loan. The supervisor told me I need to verify your account. We will send between $1 and $1000 to your account to verify that it is a good account. Once we verify you have to Zelle me the money back to the company and then you will have the money deposited. When I asked him questions he raised his voice and threatened to file charges against me for fraud. I told him I have not gotten the money yet but you sent that you wanted to get it. He said we will be pressing charges I told him I will be reaching out to the BBB. I changed all my information but I am concerned that they already had my information.
