Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
This company called from a Google Voice number. The background sounded like a call center or boiler room. The person that answered the phone has a heavy Indian accent. Claimed that I could get a loan for any amount I wanted. He then said that if my credit score was below 650 that I would have to purchase insurance from a third party in order to insure that loan. Claims that the insurance premium would be fully refunded when the loan was deposited into my account. I requested e-mail documentation and he sent me a phony document with a watermark with the words "United States Office of Government Ethics"

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
My boyfriend is looking for a loan and used one of those loan finder sites. He doesn’t have the greatest credit, so he’s been denied by everyone but them. Their website says you don’t need a credit check and you can get your money in minutes. A loan officer called my boyfriend and told him he needed to call American Family Insurance in Texas (even though they’re located in California) and pay a one time installment of $205 for insurance and the money would be wired into his account. They even sent him a loan agreement and gave him one flat interest rate of 9.6% for a $3000 loan when his initial loan request was $2000 and his interest rate wouldn’t go up. I began investigating and eventually just googled the number on the site and it came up as a scam number. Thankfully, he didn’t have the money to pay for the insuranace and nothing was lost!!

I spoke to 3 men that’s using government names by name of Tony Hunter, David Cooper and Adam. They constantly called me telling me they’ll send me $10000 if i payed $550 to them in 30 minutes. Because i needed the money to pay my rent and because i am a single parent of 3 boys i figured it was a legit company and a blessing from God smh. I sent the $550 and nevered received the $10000 i was support to receive. And now they’re telling me i won’t receive anything and making threats towards me while laughing. I really need my money back to pay my rent by October 4, 2017 otherwise I’ll be evicted with 3 kids of mine.
