Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I looked up loans hoping to get choices for a 5,000 loan and their information " loan company" was on the list. I just needed 5k and was to pay off within week or two, so didn’t want to get hit with fee for paying off full loan right away or early, they seemed to be, at the time best option. Then kept wanting me to get ebay gift cards and explained they were an unsecure loan, so $$ needed for PPI and then for administrative fee and then for the ACH fee…it went on and on and on. last money within gift card asked for was for the split transaction fee since couldn’t send all within one lump sum. it went on and on and on.

I needed to take out a $5,000 loan from this company. I have paid a total of $450.00 through secure funds. First they requested me to pay a150 payment method verification free. Then moments later requested a $300 fee to complete the electronic wire funds transfer. Then they requested me to pay $400 for PPI (Payment Protection Insurance) that would pay for the loan if something happened to me but at this point I was already beyond suspicious at this point. I was reassured there were no further funds and that after the insurance was paid to secure the loan. Was supposed to happen within 15-20 minutes but I had already heard this twice before so I didn’t go through the next step. I wanted to cancel the loan and get my money back and they said they wouldn’t do that. I was told that this was an unsecured loan. The transfer was supposed to have happened immediately after the wire transfer fee. When I checked my bank the funds did not go thru. At this point I had already realized that it was never going to happen. I have listed the numbers that were used by this group.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I was in search of a small personal loan. My search led me to United Loan Depot. I was told that i was approved for a loan in the amount of 1500 dollars with no credit check. Due to the fact that there was no credit check, i must provide the 1st installment which would be 150 dollars. I was asked to purchase an Ebay card in that amount and that point funds would be direct deposit into my checking account. I this point i obtained the ebay card with the amount of 150 dollars and provided the number to them. Under impression that the next step would be my receiving the loan amount, but to my dismay i was told that there would be a state to state wiring fee and some other type of processing fee totaling to the amount of 200 dollars at this point I reluctantly purchased another ebay card for 200 dollars once again being told that after this fund will sent to my account. At this point i was told that the money was released from his company, but the credit bureau has intercepted my loans and wont send the money due to my credit score< but if i purchase a credit repair insurance from them for 200 dollars the credit bureau will release my loan . At this point i was out of 350 dollars and i refused to give anymore money. I gave them two option either give me my loan or refund me my 350 dollars.
