Loan offer that asked for fees before I got anything
They used the phone number (925) 325-9519 and the email [email protected]. I ended up losing $2,800. Nothing about it felt right after they kept asking for fees upfront.
Collection call about a loan from 10 years ago
She told me her name was Madison White and gave me a callback number, 1(833) 297-7589. She said the creditor was Advance America and that I owed $1449.00. I have never heard of any of the business names she mentioned.
I called Advance America myself and they had no record of me owing them anything. Ever. So I don't know where this woman got all my personal information or why she was calling me.
Loan officer email that looked real until money came out
I started looking into it more and found out Advance America had put out a disclaimer about a loan scam using their logo. I wish I had done that research before I responded to the email from the "certified loan officer Michael Thompson." My personal info is compromised now because of it. These people are clever. The loan documents and the website look real until you dig deeper. They even used the address of an actual Advance America storefront as their business address.
I reported it to the FTC and Ecautious. I just hope I can get my money back and my identity back without any more damage.
Text from "Lisa Martin" at Advance America asking for my ID and debit card
Then she wanted me to send a copy of the front and back of my photo ID and my debit card. I asked for an email address and she gave me [email protected]. That's when I knew something was off. I asked why it was a gmail address and she said it was because she's from the personal loan department and they use separate gmail accounts for talking to customers.
At first all the messages were in clear English. But then this one had words misspelled and grammar was all wrong. That really confirmed it for me.
Got a text saying I was approved for an $8000 loan
I never gave them my name or email, but they asked if my information was correct. That was my first red flag right there. I reported the email as a scam, and I'm reporting the text too. The number they used was (901) 213-6312.
Got a scam call from someone pretending to be from Advance America
I asked him, shouldn't you already have my info since you told me my interest rate? Then he told me who I bank with, said my account started with a 7, and even gave me the whole bank routing number. That really bothered me, that he knew that.
When I confronted him about his strong accent and how there's no way his mom named him Kevin Brown, he admitted he was from India and gave me a different name. He didn't get any real info from me, but I didn't like this at all. I told him I'd be reporting it. His number was (323) 284-4820.
Got a sketchy loan text after using Minto Money
A person texted me and sent me a form to fill out. I checked the form link and it was secure, but they were asking for really personal stuff. Social Security number, my address, bank routing and account numbers. The info the person was texting me didn't even match the Advance America document they sent. That document said the name was Joe Carter, but the email address was totally different.
I looked up the company before I gave them my bank login. Something just felt off about the whole thing.
