They called me saying I was approved for a loan of 5,000. Because my credit score was under 700, I could get the loan but, would have to purchase insurance to cover incase I wasn’t, able to pay the loan for whatever reason. They wanted me to deposit $250 at Wal-Mart, Moneygram, to GoBank Checking Account. I asked them why they couldn’t take it off my debit account. I was told That’s how it was set up. That’s when I start researching further about their company. There is a web called pissed.com. people that had been told same thing for different amounts of money. I Called ScamPulse.com to ask question about this type of business. No business will ask you to put up front money, before they will give you a loan. Its definitely a scam.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I applied for a loan online. Was contacted by who said they were from GoBank. I was approved for a loan of $5000. I just needed to purchase a GoBank prepaid card a put $250 on it to show my interest in dealing with their bank. Once I did they asked for some of the card numbers to verify everything and to put the $5000 loan on it. After about an hour of waiting I tried activating the card online and it was already activated by them and I was locked out of the card. They obviously took the $250. I tried numerous times to contact them and they act like they don’t recall anything. Trying to find the correct office to contact to retrieve my money

After applying online for a loan, I received a call from "GoBank" out of Washington DC. "Jerry Brown" told me that my loan has been approved for $5000. Supposed to get a GoBank prepaid check/ debit card from Walmart. To prove that I will be able to make the payments every month on this UNSECURED loan, I have been directed to deposit $250 on to the card, then they will deposit $5000 on card which will take approximately 15-20 min. I have had several scam attempts made to me, so many that it pays not to trust anyone.

I received a phone call explaining that I was qualified for a loan up to $1500. After several minutes of information exchange and description of rates and loan payments, I was offered a loan amount of $2000 extending the payments to nine months and additional $9.00 added to the montly installments. The issue is that they require me to pay the first installment using a card account that I obtain from Walmart even before any loan funds are transferred to same account.
