Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

I was looking for a loan so that I can get my car repaired. Lending club reached out to me via email and stated that I had been approved. From the auto loan information they received. So they called me asked me for my personal information basically completing an application. Ask for my banking information.Then they sent me "paperwork" on how much my monthly repayment would be for the loan. They say your credit score has to be 680 or higher if not they can help boost your credit by giving u money and u will have to send it back on a eBay card. I called my bank because it started to get suspicious and Long story short this not a legit loan company. ***BEAWARE***They gained access to my account and deposited a bad check into my account and now I owe my bank and I can no longer bank with them because they are withdrawing me as a member because of this fraudulent activity that has occurred.

Lending club calls me saying I have filled out an application with them and are ready to loan me 15000. They first leave an automated message and they say to call back. I call them back to report fraud and they did not want to talk. It sounds like a repeat offender of sales calls from this number.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

Recently, a series of unforeseen events took place consecutively in a short period of time in my life. I needed financial help. I decided to try looking for an online loan, as I don't have the greatest credit score. I applied for a personal loan through a handful of 3rd party lenders, hoping that they could connect me with a direct lender without having too much of a negative impact on my already poor credit score. I received an approval email from a company called Lending Club. The email provided a loan approval code, approved loan amounts and 3 different loan rate options. The bottom of the email stated, "If you have questions or need help completing your application, please call us at (415) 506-2315. Lending Club has been a trusted company for over 12 years and has helped millions of customers get cash when they need it most." Before responding to the email, I wanted to make sure that it was a legitimate company and not a scam, so I checked on the ScamPulse.com's official website. It was listed and had a good rating. Upon finding this, I felt comfortable getting in contact with this company to proceed with the loan process. I called the phone number provided in the email and spoke on multiple occasions with 2 different individuals who identified themselves as "Mike" and "Stephen". Both had what I believe to be an Arabic accent. They informed me that due to my poor credit score, they had to make some smaller deposits in my account than my requested loan amount, in which I was expected to immediately return to them. They explained how this would help to boost my credit score and give me good credit payment history. This process was to be repeated until my credit score reached a specific number, then they would install the full requested loan amount into my account. They also explained to me that since they were an online lender, they had a partnership with Google and I was to make payments to them through Google as a result. They told me the simplest/fastest way to do this was to purchase Google Play cards and give them the activation number on the back of the cards. Before buying anything, I waited to see if any money was deposited into my account. The exact money amounts they discussed with me where deposited into my account and showed on my online banking as available funds. This gave me even more confidence in this company's legitimacy. That being said, I proceeded to follow their instructions and purchased the Google Play cards from a local store, then gave them the activation codes. Within 24 hours, a representative from my bank in the fraud department contacted me. The representative informed me that the money deposited were all bad deposits, the equivalent of a fake check. I then immediately froze my bank account and filed an official police report with the county in which I live. This company stole everything I had in my bank account, plus some. I was already in a tight situation, now I'm in an impossible one. My bank is holding me responsible for the stolen funds (yes, even though they acknowledge the fraud) and the police do not anticipate catching the responsible party. Over $1000.00 was stolen from me and I have no hope in getting any of it back. I did my due diligence. I did everything I could to make sure that this exact situation wouldn't happen, but it did anyway. Do NOT try online loans! There is no way of knowing if you're dealing with a legitimate organization until it's too late. Don't put yourself at risk! If you receive anything from Lending Club, an approval email or phone call from the provided phone number, DO NOT RESPOND TO IT AND IMMEDIATELY REPORT THEM TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES. I've never been in a situation where I couldn't pay my bills until now. I really hope sharing my unfortunate experience/situation will help someone else.

Type of a scam Credit Repair/Debt Relief

Swindle Martin from Lending Club called me out of the blue. She said that I was approved for 5000 dollar loan and had all my account numbers and address and credit score. I did not give them any of my information. So I hung up and looked into them and called Lending Tree and asked them about Lending Club and told them they wanted to put 700 dollars into my account and I was to get a money gram from walmart and send it back to them because of my credit score I had to do it that way. Well she said it was a scam and that Lending Club is located in California and to call my bank and make sure nothing is going on with my account. So I called my bank and talked to the manager and she was glad that I reported it to them and I was to watch my account to make sure no money is not taken out of my account and if so come in and fill out a report. So that's what I'm going to do. So look out for these scammers.

I had inquired about an $7000 loan. I was contacted by a Peter Black who was a Senior Loan Officer. He stated that they could wire me the money via Money gram. But I would have to wire $250 first. He then kept asking how long would it take me to get to the Wal-Mart and to call him from the parking lot.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

I had been online applying for loans. I received an E mail from a company called Lending Club. It was from Steven Smith. They sent me a loan agreement letter. Asked me to reply with a yes. Which I did. I was approved for $3000 minimum. That amount is not realistic to me. I have poor credit and this is when I became Skeptical. Stated they partner with Wells Fargo and US Bank. They wanted me to open a checking account with US Bank for a minimum of $25. I called several US Banks and none of them knew who they were. I was also skeptical when I called them at 415-506-1325. A foreign sounded man answered the phone hello. I was transferred to others that all sounded foreign. One of them asked me what I wanted. i did not open an account. They did not ask me for money. I did give my social security number over the phone. He asked me to confirm which I did. He had me log into my current online account to check my history. I contacted me bank to report this. I wanted to report this to the BBB. I do not want them to take advantage of anyone else. Something did not feel right to me. this is not right.

Contacted me about loan up to $10000.00. Everytime I get to a point they want $. Want either itune or Google Play cards. Have sent $1400.00 and now want $250 more to send check. They hit you up of $150 - 300 at a time for various reasons. Now they won't sent my money back until I send another $150 to them. They have also changed the way they want to send the loan. 1st Money Gram in 4 different drops of 2500 each to get around three $10000 reporting requirement. Then it's Western Union now it's a check of $6000 with balance of loan vis Western Union. Each time wanting money for sending but never using the money sent already for a way they were going to use. Now will not send my money back without an additional 150.

was looking for a loan on line. Recieved an email from Lendingclub1516 first from a David Hill then Jacob Stafford ( who GOT my money) and then Miley Simpson. David Hill requested $200 and told him no! Jacob Stafford went thru the motions that the other guy was a scammer and that the reason HE was asking was because my credit score was so low they needed assurancfe that I could pay them. I got an I tune gift cardfor $300. Gave him the code. Then he tells me I need to do it again I told him no and that I wanted my money back. Told me that I wouldnt get it back it was for paperwork etc. Nothing I could do about it. This happened march 22. April 21 I get anotherEmail from same company from Miley Simpson. I tell her what happened and she appolgizes for him. Then tells me that I need to send $300 but nwill go thru the credit dept instead. told her off and here I am.

I had filled out an application for a loan online. I do not know who it was with. The following day I received a text from Lending Club Corporation. Phone number 415-251-7919. Offering me a loan $8000. It did not look right to me. I spoke with a man with an accent. They keep calling and texting. I questioned it and showed my daughter the text. She thought it looked funny. I called Lending Club in California. They did not text me. They had not asked for money. I want to report it.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I received a call from lending club after submitting a loan request. They told me that they would be depositing funds into my account and I would have to withdraw the funds and return it to them. They said it was a way of showing trust that their loan would be repaid. So I said ok and then they deposited 986.36 into my checking. My bank froze my account for three days due to it was an out of state check. Come monday morning when they would be released lending club took the money out my account and told me I would have to deposit 400.00 and then they would deposit the loan amount and I had 46 months to pay it back. Then they also wanted me to buy Apple I cards and call them in. I tried to log on to my online bank account and there was a red flag on my account. The check was a fraud and if I would have withdrew that money I would of had to pay my bank back and suffer my credit score being messed up. Now I ha e to close my account out and open a new one. Just know if it sounds too good to be true it is. Especially from these people. Lending Club my butt!!!!
