Total money lost $120
Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
Upon balancing my checkbook, it came to my attention that there was a deposit from this company and then 4 withdrawals, 1 every 2 weeks. I didn’t recognize the company so I called my bank. It’s some sort of web loan business. I have not applied for any loan and certainly did not authorize any money to be deposited nor to be withdrawn from my account. I am in the process of shutting down the checking account that they used. How can they issue a loan without someone signing or requesting a loan? Where did they get my information? Obviously a scam of some sort.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
This scam actually lends people money to where they have a high interest rate to pay it back and end up paying (like in our case) $2000 on a $500 loan. So far we haven’t paid that much but when I just tried to contact them through the website through email AND call the number they provide on the website, I can not get a hold of anyone to stop automatic payments on the loan due to no income. When I called the number provided by the website I had ended up leaving to messages for a lady I thought was in charge of the website. The next morning I called again and accidentally woke up the woman who said it wasn’t American Web Loans. I felt bad about waking her up but at least I know the truth now. These people are in a position to help but they are scamming you out of much more money and with the promise of no penalty for early pay off. If anyone has dealt with these people stop the payments through your bank before you are scammed out of more money. Tell the bank you just found out about the scam.
