Advance fee loan scam.  It is illegal to ask you to pay money upfront in order to get a loan.  More information here:

Some red flags can tip you off to scam artists’ tricks. For example:

A lender who isn’t interested in your credit history. A lender may offer loans or credit cards for many purposes — for example, so you can start a business or consolidate your bills. But one who doesn’t care about your credit record should worry you. Ads that say “Bad credit? No problem” or “We don’t care about your past. You deserve a loan” or “Get money fast” or even “No hassle — guaranteed” often indicate a scam.

Banks and other legitimate lenders generally evaluate creditworthiness and confirm the information in an application before they grant firm offers of credit to anyone.

Fees that aren't disclosed clearly or prominently. Scam lenders may say you’ve been approved for a loan, then call or email demanding a fee before you can get the money. Any up-front fee that the lender wants to collect before granting the loan is a cue to walk away, especially if you’re told it’s for “insurance,” “processing,” or just “paperwork.”

Legitimate lenders often charge application, appraisal, or credit report fees. The differences? They disclose their fees clearly and prominently; they take their fees from the amount you borrow; and the fees usually are paid to the lender or broker after the loan is approved.

And if a lender says they won’t check your credit history, but wants your personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account number? Go somewhere else. They may use your information to debit your bank account to pay a fee they’re hiding.

A loan that is offered by phone. It is illegal for companies doing business by phone in the U.S. to promise you a loan or credit card and ask you to pay for it before they deliver.

A lender who uses a copy-cat or wanna-be name. Crooks give their companies names that sound like well-known or respected organizations and create websites that look professional. Some scam artists have pretended to be the Better Business Bureau, a major bank, or another reputable organization; some even produce forged paperwork or pay people to pretend to be references. Always get a company’s phone number from the phone book or directory assistance, and call to check they are who they say they are. Get a physical address, too: a company that advertises a PO Box as its address is one to check out with the appropriate authorities.

A lender who is not registered in your state. Lenders and loan brokers are required to register in the states where they do business. To check registration, call your state Attorney General’s office or your state’s Department of Banking or Financial Regulation. Checking registration does not guarantee that you will be happy with a lender, but it helps weed out the crooks.

A lender who asks you to wire money or pay an individual. Don’t make a payment for a loan or credit card directly to an individual; legitimate lenders don’t ask anyone to do that. In addition, don’t use a wire transfer service or send money orders for a loan. You have little recourse if there’s a problem with a wire transaction, and legitimate lenders don’t pressure their customers to wire money.

Finally, just because you’ve received a slick promotion, seen an ad for a loan or credit card in a prominent place in your neighborhood or in your newspaper, on television or on the Internet, or heard one on the radio, don’t assume it’s a good deal — or even legitimate. Scam artists work hard to make you think they're legitimate, so it’s really important to do your homework.

Dealing with Debt
If you have debt problems, try to solve them with your creditors as soon as you realize you won’t be able to make your payments. If you can’t resolve the problems yourself or you need help to do it, you may want to contact a credit counseling service. Nonprofit organizations in every state counsel and educate people and families on debt problems, budgeting, and using credit wisely. Often, these services are free or low-cost. Universities, military bases, credit unions, and housing authorities also may offer low- or no-cost credit counseling programs.

Not gonna go through with it, seems a little off, very hard to understand the caller.

Asked to wire 149 insurance

No legitimate company will call you 9 times in the course of 3 hours, even a bill collector wouldn't because it constitutes harassment and is fined fairly high. I've blocked there number so my phone doesn't ring, but they keep calling. Honestly I don't know what they want or who they are and frankly I don't care. I advise downloading a call blocker to your cell phone, makes your day so much more pleasant

This number has at least called me ten times today. Not sure company, never answered the phone.

There is no such thing as a "free loan".
AND, loans are not given over the phone, merely because of "good credit"
AND it is illegal to ask for some kind of prepayment to qualify for a loan.

Conclusion:
RICHARD HANSLEY is a shill.

This number keeps calling me

Scam

This is a scam! They've called me at least 5 times today, saying they're from a loan company...when I tell them to take my number off their list, they hang up on me and continue to call back.

Very rude and disrespectful will cuss at you when you start to ask questions, I was told F*ck you that's when I hung up

They keep calling me to get a loan is it a scam

Walk slow ..someone is gone to catch up with you.

This number called me 5 times today. I am work and finally answered during my lunch hour. Gentlemen (using term loosely) asked for someone who was not around (family member) and rudely asked "where are they". After asking the same question several times, I told him it was none of his business and to leave a message. He told me it was none of my business and hung up.

Phoney scammers- you tell them never to
call again and i have had 8 calls from them just
today. Now i just pick up and hang up quickly.
Say nothing. I have reported them to att and ftc.
They want to give you a loan and pay up front
first. Red flag. Hang up
