Iv been told to put $210 on a vanilla card then call them bck so they can submit a loan for $1500 in my account. Is this a scam

Yes, it is definitely a scam.

Read this:
"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."

If you or a friend need a loan, you really should read this:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0153-choosing-credit-counselor

In fact, the more you need the money, the more urgent it is to read that information!


Protect yourself!
Recognize that NO legitimate company is going to offer you a loan, without their doing some background / credit checks on you, and they WILL generally need a snailmailed, signed contract.

If you or a friend fell for the scam, please try to educate your other friends.  The only way to stop these scams is to cut off their source of money!

Yes it is I scam. After I posted my last post about this number, the same person going by the name John called me back to complain about the comment I posted. He claimed he was from Better loan choice but I looked up his number and it was from New york, and it was a cell phone number from sprint mobile. They were telling me that I was approved for a loan. And to receive my loan of $1500 dollars I have to put $210 dollars on a vanilla card thats being sold at CVS. And to call bck when I get there so they could walk me thru the process. Im not dumb. No loan agency would ever operate like that. DO NOT LET THIS NUMBER FOOL YOU. AVOID

I am a representative of BetterLoanChoice.com, and we were just alerted to this scam.  BetterLoanChoice.com does not make loans -- it is a loan matching company.  These people are using the name of BetterLoanChoice to perpetuate their scam and appear legitimate.
