Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
Received a letter from Daniel Walker claiming to be from Ace Cash Express. He was offering the consumer a cash loan. What made the consumer weary of the caller was his claim that Ace Cash Express is a part of the Federal Trade Commission and BBB. The consumer checked the internet and they do not have affiliation with either organization.

I was contacted via email with an actual ace express loan contract (complete with logo, and the clauses saying that they work with ScamPulse.com etc) for 5,000. Of course, this contract is either a fake or a copy being used illegally. The name on the document did not match the name of the person emailing (he called himself Derek Smith and had a mild indian accent.) I called and he read me the last 4 digits of my account number and asked me to "verify" my full account number with him, or in other words, give it to him. He also asked for my online banking login information. I was rightfully skeptical, but he assured me that the company can be looked up on ScamPulse.com etc. (Which the real company can be, but he is posing as them.) After trying to collect all of that information he asked me to buy google pay cards as a "balance verification" that would be reported to the FDC. Ha! I hung up and called the parent company and they didn’t even have record of an application with my information. Unfortunately the email looked so official that I had given him my account information, but have since closed the account so that nothing can be deposited or withdrawn. He doesn’t answer the phone, waits for a voicemail and calls back. I hope you’re able to nip this one in the bud! He was talking about how awful scammers are these days and how many awful things he’s seen with scammers taking money away from the people with debilitating medical conditions etc. Only, it was probably him that did it.

The told me they were going to put 200 dollars into my account then I’d have to send it back to them. Then they would give me a 5000 dollar loan. They used ace cash express as their cover. I called ace cash express and they said they don’t do that. That’s when I truly new it was a scam.

Total money lost $998
Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
When I got the letter in my email box it was a result of a loan search for lenders. I called, and first spoke with someone by the name of Chris. Who then had me speak with a Martin Harris. Between both Chris and Martin the loan process was conducted. They insured me I was approved for a $5000 loan and ask if I could afford $150 a month. I agreed and they moved forward. They told me they woukd need to verify my checking account first. That was done the same way I had processed other lenders I had health with. Then, they said in order for them to deposit the $5000 into my account they would have to make sure I was not trying to scam they, because people scam all the time. Their process to do this was they would deposit $998 into my checking and I woukd then need to remove that money and send it back to them by purchasing gift cards. That was done, the money came into my account, I purchased some gift cards for tge Google play store for a total of $940. I was instructed then to scratch off the back of the cards take pictures and email that information. I did that. After they received that information they called to tell me that now they would need to deposit another $998 for insurance of the loan. They tried to deposit the money by check again and my bank stopped it for suspicion of fraud. When I notified Martin of this situation heard no more from them. On 12/5/2018 I got a message that the check for $998 had been returned. I still have all documents text messages and other important information to support this scam.
