Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

Scammer said no upfront fees then proceeded to ask me for $150 upfront and says it"ll be refunded at the first months payment. The other Redflag was he asked me to open up a green dot prepaid card and he'll "wire" the funds on there. Scammer had a thick indian accent.

Jack Smith California represents Lending Club in the most vile way possible. He offered us a 5000 loan, and said it would be available at midnight December 13. Yeah. Well, I've read all about him now. My family is suffering in the worst way from CoVid! HELP

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

This loan “Agency” claimed that I qualify for an $8000 loan with a monthly payment of $262 per month for 36 months. I applied for many loans online for bad credit so I didn’t have much options I mainly wanted the loan amount to catch up on bills and get out of a little debt. I naturally was drawn in to follow all steps to get said loan I’ve never been scammed before so I was hopeful that it would never happen to me. They got all my personal info including social security number, address, bank account information. They had me pay fees with gift cards the first time was for $100 they said to prove that they would receive my money then it was for $315 for insurance fee that would protect me and them is what they told me. Then lastly was another payment of $350 of eBay gift cards for and ETF fund that would finally them to send the loan amount into my bank account. Then I get a message saying that I sent the money to the wrong person and they claimed the person I sent the money to was a scammer that the number I sent the gift card codes to was hacked by “ Jamaicans”. I know I shouldn’t have trusted them and not have sent any gift cards which was a weird request but I really thought I would get the loan of $8000.

Type of a scam Phishing

I had connected with the Lending Club for a personal loan. I was sent an approval email for an amount from a Loan Manager named Shawn Thomas. He was extremely polite and made sure to build trust with me. He stated that my bank account needed to be verified so that the loan can be transferred into my account. He initially stated that he would send me "$500" and to withdraw $400 and I would have to send it back. At this point, I started to get a really bad feeling about this and delayed doing it. Shawn continued to speak with me throughout the whole process and continued to earn my trust. I went through with his instructions. I ended up receiving a call from my bank stating that the funds he sent was via fraudulant check and I had to pay back the $400. I unfortunately did not follow my instincts because Shawn was very good at earning my trust. I eventually ended up speaking with Shawn who finally admitted that this was scam. I asked him if the whole Lending Club was a scam and he said no. So I am not sure if he is connected with the Lending Club Corporation or somehow got my information from somewhere. I've sent a message to the Lending Club from their website, filing a complaint.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

I applied for a loan. Was called and told I was approved. Asked for banking info and social security number. Then stated they needed to do a verification as follows: stay on phone and go to Walmart store, purchase a personal gift card in amount of $400 to repay the amount they supposedly deposited into your account. Scratch off area on back of card that shows last 4 digits of card number and PIN number. Take picture of back of card and text it to the phone number you are on with. If you do not do this you are threatened with them closing your bank account and legal suit. You are to wait about an hour for next phone call. What they Don’t tell you is they have filed dispute claims on your bank account. Then they tell you to do another transaction like the one above because your credit score is not high enough for them to release the loan amount into your checking account. The amount was higher, $1,000. Then they called to say credit score still not high enough and need to do another transaction. I stopped at this point. Changed my bank online I’d and password; had bank issue me a new debit card. I have requested this company send me the $1,400 via Moneygram. I doubt I will ever see this money. I am contacting the bank and federal officials to see what they can do. I will probably have to pay the bank back the temporary credits they applied.

They gave me a call and told me I was approved for a loan. After telling me I was approved they ran me through rings to try to get the loan including changing my debit card and going to target to buy gift cards. I was obviously skeptical but after reading some reviews(fake) online about how trustworthy they were. And also after receiving a fake transcript of my loan I complied. They kept calling me to tell me my money was on it’s way for about 24 more hours until the man just now changed his number. And I now have no way to contact him

I've been looking for a loan to help me out and when i got a text from "The Lending club" stating I was approved for a loan amount of $6000, when I was only looking for $2000. They even sent me an email, seemed legit. I stupidly gave them my info and they send they needed to process my loan. 40 mins later, I get a called saying that the money would be deposited, though I needed to have insurance. Said they would give me $1000 to my account and that would be used to pay the insurance. To go to my local Walmart, Walgreen's, etc. and call when I got there. I lied and said I had to go into a meeting and hung up. I immediately logged onto my lending club account and it said I wasn't approved. Then called their actual # and they said that it wasn't them. I blocked them and will be calling my bank to change all my info. SMH

His name is Jack Smith from Lending Club with main office in California. He send what he calls a Letter of Confirmation which includes details of the amount of the loan available, interest rate, and monthly payment. if you have bad credit; then you need to purchase insurance around $2.00 per month besides monthly payments. He is the Senior Manager at Lending Club. He will ask you to purchase a $100 gift card which is the Lending Club initial service fee and then he will ask you to purchase a $500 gift card which is the 5% interest rate of the loan. He will tell you to place those gift cards after having you take a picture of the back which contains the number along with its code. Then he will tell you to place them in a secure place because it is connected to your loan. In the meantime, he is waiting for the money to be deposited into the Bank of America account which will in turn be transferred electronically into your checking account. However, Jack will never deposit the loan amount because he will always ask for another gift card in the amount of _________ and continue to state that you have 2 options before the loan amount will be electronically deposited into your checking account within hours. However, he will also ask for your online banking user name and password. Jack Smith's accent appears to resemble a person from India.

They called and said I qualified for a loan of $4,000, and that they would deposit it into my bank account after they received a transaction from me in the amount of $407.00 which they would deposit into my bank account first to verify that I have an account, income, and using my real identity. They placed a deposit using a check, and it showed the credit on my bank available balance. They told me to withdraw the money, go to Walmart and put the $407.00 on an ebay card and call them to give them the card and receipt information so they could process the transaction, at 5:00 a.m. Then the loan of $4,000 would be deposited into my bank account at 10 a.m. I spoke with the bank immediately after the $400.00 was deposited and the teller told me that it was a check deposit and that I would be responsible for the funds if the companies check was no good. I didn't take the money, the bank had to close my account because the loan company had all my information including account and routing numbers. It's a scam loan and could have cost me hundreds of dollars.
