Calling for "Angel"--not at this number!!!  Stop calling!!!

Yet another new number for the indian/pakistani "boiler room" scammers.

Caller said I applied for loan on web was approved for 10, 000 just have to send money by payment voucher because of new lending laws sent  money then all of a sudden credit bureau locked the account will have to pay the fdic insurance to get money any one else have this happen

It is a SCAM do not send money.

Yes, they did the same thing to me. What difference does it make. They should be up front. When I told the guy it was a scam he got mad. I wish there was something that can be done to shed light on this situation to more people b/c it is not right.

Do not send the money. They will take it all from you even the so called fees you send. Western Union only charges $275.00 for an amount of $5,000, what is the other funds being applied to?

Ah, and not to mention that it is ILLEGAL to have to pay an upfront "fee, processing fee, insurance, trial installment" - take your pick - before you receive a loan.  Any time you're asked to pay a fee or charge before you receive money, whether for a "grant" or a loan - which you didn't even apply for - it's a scam!

Yes Jim, I just had the same exact thing happen. Was told the credit bureau put a block on the loan, well credit bureaus don't block loans. They have nothing to do with lenders loaning to ANYONE, they only provide scores and I verified with the credit bureau that this "first financial" never pulled my credit report. When I called this "loan company" back he kept giving me the run around and telling me if I pay the FDIC insurance my loan will be transferred to me. I told him I don't want the loan, I just want my $200 back. He said the credit bureau is blocking that too. What a scam!!!  Do I feel stupid? YES! But this is still so wrong!

DO NOT buy into this crap!!! It's a total scam!!! Yes they got me for $200 but at least it wasn't more! Can anything be done about this? Looks like the phone # is a mobile #...I'm sure it can't be traced. After inquiring with the credit bureaus and calling "Ben" back at first financial to plead my argument, he kept hanging up on me!!! Felling stupid right now!!!

Yes I was told the exact same thing I called the number off the wed address they gave me and FFCU told me they are scammers...

Is there anyway to get your money back..

Did anyone ever recieve the money from the loan?

they will not stop calling, they call from several different numbers and it is the same person. I have repeatedly asked them to stop, hung up on them, screamed at them, blocked the numbers. They leave messages. This is INSANE. I have saved the messages and reported them to the Florida AG office.

I am going to hire some people to take care of them once and for all.

Ugh!  I hate getting these scam calls!!!!

Have received calls also about a vehicle loan that I "applied for online". I have not answered any of these calls... but did have 34 missed calls in a three hour period!

I just got 2 calls in a row. I dont answer them. But I have blocked no less than SIXTY phone numbers in the last 2 weeks from all kinds of scammers!

I filed a police report and Att General complaint form in California.  I plan to file a lawsuit as well .  I am trying to find out as much information about this call center .  I will make it a class action suit if anyone wants to follow me.

Jim

You receive a call saying they will loan you money, but you have to pay a fee upfront?
That is illegal:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/features/feature-0022-financial-educators

"If the offer of the loan is made by phone but you have to pay before you get access to any money, it’s illegal. It’s illegal for companies doing business in the U.S. by phone to promise you a loan and ask you to pay for it before they make good on their promise."

So all such calls are 100% scam.

I'm getting these calls, too, from a variety of numbers.  File a complaint at http://www.consumerfinance.gov/ with as much info as you can gather.  Name of the company, address, phone numbers, agent's name, account number.   I have gotten 30+ calls in 3 days, and lots of hang-ups.
