Total money lost $370
Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I initially received a phone call from the number 1-786-453-9297 EXT: 300 from a loan officer claiming to be a part of Capital One Fast Cash he said his name is Jeffery Glover, I’ve went through loan companies before and never had an issue so I thought it was legit. He told me I had been pre-approved for a $4500 loan and that he would e-mail me from [email protected] with the loan agreement that I could read over, sign and return back to him. He said once I signed and returned I would then need to purchase a My Vanilla Debit Card and load $90 on it to cover the fee which I would then receive back with my loan 12/11 but that it may be delayed because it was after 7 pm, he also told me I am eligible for a $10,000 grant that I could apply for as well. He called me today and I had asked where my $4500 was he replied "I thought you wanted to apply for the grant" I said yes so he told me he would need me to purchase another My Vanilla Debit Card and load $280 onto that one and that I would also receive the amount back along with my $90 from the other card into my bank account by midnight, which I unfortunately gave him. Upon waiting I googled the company and came across the internet site Ripoff Report where there were several reports made across the country involving the same amount of money, I then re-read the "loan agreement" and noticed misspelled words, the address says Miami, FL instead of Cutler Bay, FL and it is signed with only a first name.
