today usa pay day loan contacted me as i was applying for a loan. the "representative" told me i was approved for a 1,000 loan. i was then told i needed to make a payment of :$110.00 dollars via western union to show that i have a way to make monthly payments. i was also told that my funds would be in my account in one hour and forty five minutes. literally on my way to my bank they called back requesting an additional 70.00 for as a release payment but that amount would be credited to my original loan amount. that is when i grew suspicious. i called the "agency" back explaining i didnt want the loan offer any more and requested my original 110.00 back. well he didnt like that. he started cursing me out saying all of these ridiculous things that dont need to be repeated. thats how i knew that i was infact being scammed. no business person will act like that and that. let me rephrase that, a REAL business person does not act like that. so watch out because those [***] are out there!

NEVER ... I repeat NEVER give $$ to a lender (in this case scammer) to get money for a loan. Especially being sent via western union or the greendot card.. No way you can recover your funds.
If only more people would do what you did. These scams are virtually transparent and even casual research will expose them. These crooks would be out of business if everyone was as careful a you.

When you go into a Western Union office, read the signs on the walls. You are NEVER to use Western Union for any kind of business transaction. If someone (you don't know) asks you to use it, it's a scam! Western Union is for friends (real ones), & family. Remember Western Union is CASH.

This stupid company stole my last 100 for a loan I didn't receive it was my light bill money man im dumb for believing they could help me
On-line pay day loans (PDLs) are almost all crooked and virtually none of them are licensed to make PDLs in the states they operate in--most are based overseas. But here's your next problem: There is a very good chance someone (probably with an Indian accent) will start calling, demanding you "pay back" the loan you never got or you will be "immediately arrested." It's very common.

Total scam. I had fun with them. I got a call too a very hard to understand Indian accent guy well towards the end of his spill he tells me all about I'm approved for a 1000 dollar loan and all I have to do is get a paper green dot card but be sure it's the paper card whatever that is? Well he tells me he will call me back in 2 hours to confirm just ask for him "Peter Watson".. I said you don't sound like no Peter to me, no offense but that sounds like a fake name Peter . I break out laughing on the phone and He says that is my name Peter in a hard to understand accent , I said sure Peter , well I'm going to go online and check your company reviews out before I proceed so I will call you back Mr Peter!!!
We called the police about them today because they used foul language etc. when we told them we were not interested and never asked for a $1400 loan. They kept call back and literally told my husband FU. I called our local police dept and also looked up the phone number on the web. The police were very nice and when they further checked they came up with this Payday scam. Originally they were calling under a private number but switched to an 862-955-4496 #. The police called them and they kept passing the buck to the next one in charge. They apololgized and said it won't happen again. The policeman said that they have no jurisdiction but if they call again we should contact a lawyer and then they can take it up a step from there. Oh and they did call my husband back, and he actually threatened my husband that if he called the police on him they will call anytime 24 hours a day all day. My husband heard laughing in the background. I am definitely going after this guy.
I received a call today saying I was approved for $3,000.00. They told me I need to go to the nearest Western Union and wire them $180.00. I was told that once I wire the money. They will then send my money through Western Union at that time plus my $180.00 totally wire of $3,180.00. My first payment would be due on May 3rd. I thought something was wrong when they told me; they can't deposit the money in my account. I requested for them to send me an email twice and no email received.
There is no money to be deposited in your account. There is no "loan". All they want to do is steal the money you wire to them. They are criminals. Hope you didn't wire any money to them, if you did it's gone gone gone.
