this person just stole money from me supposely was a loan place and stoled 270 dollars from me

this person took my 2900$ for the loan of 6000 with the vanilla card

Very hard to understand; said my loan application had been approved. Wouldn't be too much of an issue but they've called 12 times in the last 24 hours from different numbers

I keep getting calls about a loan. So far they've called 8 times in the last 24 hours from different numbers

stole 135 from me

Received many calls from ((512) 410-5469. The names were Danny Watson and Mark Thomas ( senior finance manager). Said I was approved for $1000 loan. All I needed to do was go to any Walgreens or  walmart store and purchase  a green dot moneypak voucher for $120. Give them the voucher #, then I receive the $1000 in my checking account. Sound familiar??

It's a scam - you NEVER have to pay money upfront to get money - advance fee loans are illegal, period!  Doesn't matter if they say it's to show you can pay the loan back, or for taxes, or fees, or even if you're credit is bad - legitimate lenders add their charges into the actual loan.

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 tocontact 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.

I received several calls from this number [512-410-5469].  The male speaking with a very heavy Indian or Pakastani accent said his name was Mark Thomas and he was calling from "Homen Health Care" in Austin, TX.  He asked if I had had a certain surgery and when I confirmed that I did have the surgery, he informed me that I was entitled to "compensation" due to a lawsuit against the company that made the device that was used in my surgery.  He told me that I was going to receive $2000 compensation.  Then he said that I would have to pay the attorney fees of $125 before I could receive the check and asked if I could pay the fee today.  I told him he could just "deduct" the fees from the $2000 and send me a check for the balance.  He said he couldn't do that way and that I would have to pay the "attorney fee" using my credit or debit card.  I refused to give him my cc card information and asked if I could speak with the attorney that he worked for.  I repeatedly asked for the attorneys name.  Finally he said the attorneys name was "Danny Watson" and gave me his badge # [325409].  He said he would have Danny Watson call me back.  I hung up and waited a few minutes but did not get call back.  So I called back the number I received the call from.  The same Indian/Pakastani male answered.  I asked to speak to "Danny Watson".  After a brief hold, another male with heavy accent, picked up line and stated he was Danny Watson.  He then told me that because I refused to pay his fees, that I was removed from his call list and I would not receive any more calls from his office.  BOTTOM LINE: REFUSE TO PAY THEIR FEES AND THEY WILL STOP CALLING.
