909-666-5686

Unfortunately i got scammed when this number 909-666-5686 said they could loan me 1500.00 if i just proved my credit worthiness by buying a greendot card and putting some money on it. So i bought one at this 711 down the hill and uploaded $130.00. The man only known as "Tony" with an indian accent said he would call me back to let me know when the  wire transfer would be put into my bank account. I called Tony to ask what is taking so long, and he said there was a problem and that i had to give them 210.00 more. I said thats not happening and i want my money back. I then tried calling the greendot.com number on the card which had no real person to talk to. It said enter your number for a refund and when i entered my number it stated that there was no balance on that account. I think that all 711s should stop receiving these cards.

Yeah, right! Sure you did! Obvious shill is way too obvious! Fail, back to your broom in the boiler room! Its that way in case you forgot →  
I heard since you flunked how to be a shill 101, that they are engraving your name on the broom handle!

Things to remember about loans offered by phone or e-mail:
SEE ITEM #4!!
Loans
1.    No reputable lender will lend you money over   the   phone.
2.    No reputable lender will lend you money by e-mail
3.    On-line lenders are nothing more than conduits for another loan scam.
4.    Advance fees for loans are always illegal.    At  least in   most    American states.
5.    If   you want to borrow money,   go to an established brick and mortar   lender that has been around awhile.
6.    If you receive a call from someone with an Indian accent either a.  threatening you or b.  offering you something, you know it’s a scam and you should hang up immediately.
7.    These people are predators, the calls are not random, they have information that they have bought from various sources and know your financial history.  If you have ever taken out a pay-day loan, they have all your information.  They know who they are calling.  They like to pick on women, single mothers, the elderly and sometimes  members of the immigrant community.   Also,  those who might be in financial difficulty.

It would be amazing if it actually happened.  But of course it did not, did it?  Why do you think anyone would fall for your miserable fairy tale?

Ms. Bell,  You are a real Ding-Dong if you think we believe you!!

No, just do your research BEFORE  you send a stranger money.

How could anyone qualify for a loan they never applied for? Common sense really.

I (that is, my wife) was just taken for $520.00 trying to get a $3000.00 loan from RushCard Live by Anthony Banks, Indian accent.The number is 909-666-5686.

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!

History of the scam:
Some time in the 16th century (yep, the 16th century), some enterprising scammers devised the "Spanish Prisoner" scam.  Marks were promised a significant reward, if they contributed money to get the "very rich prisoner" out of a Spanish jail.

If the mark sent money, the scammer replied with some excuse that more money was needed, because something happened.  The scammer would continue with excuses and demands for more money, 'till the mark was broke, or wised up to the scam.

A variation of this scam exists TODAY, some 5 centuries later.  It is called an "Advance Fee Scam".  It remains successful because some folks are easily duped, or think they can get a very high reward for minimal investment.
