I was applying for personal loan over the internet and I got a Tex message from Advance America Cash Advance telling me MY LOAN APPROVED for the amount I needed. Then they sent me a email with the paper work I needed to e-sign for the loan and Loan Approval ID/Loan Type/Month Installment/Loan Tenure/Interest Rate. Transfer Type Mobil Check Deposit of 59.00 is what they wanted me to send them to finish my loan transfer. So I called them back to see way I had to send them money to get money I told them that it did not make sense to me. Then he just kept telling me to go to Wal-Mart and let him know when I was there and he would guide me though the process for me go though Wells Fargo to send him the money order and that this would be the way he sent me my loan. He kept telling me they were affiliated with the BBB bureau and the CFPB Consumer Financial Protection bureau. And they keep e-mailing me to call them back so we could finish the loan agreement at Wal-Mart I was already getting suspicious of them thinking this has to be a SCAME so I got on the interknit to see if I could find them and there was no matches for that business I was looking for on the web sit. So if you get a Tex or a E-mail from them contact the BBB bureau.

Received an email fro Advance America stating that I was approved for loan $2000-$10000 and to call 1-770-657-7938. Called and spoke with a rep name Jen and she indicated that she was calling from Georgia and she asked how much loan I was looking for ; I told her $5000.00. she asked for my name, ssn, home address, bank name, routing and acct number via text . Everything was going okay so I thought but then she asked for my user id and password to my bank; light bulb went off; like why would you need that? she said how else can we deposit fund into your acct. So, as I was getting ready to send that information she began to explain how the process works ; she would send $800.00 into my acct as (extract funds) to verify and I’m suppose to send back. hummmmmmm I thought; so how am I suppose to send back. she said by moneygram or money order; so I began to laugh uncontrollably and she asked me what so funny. I said this is a scam! and hung up.
But now I’m so afraid that my acct is going to be compromised because this lady has all my information. I changed my password and user id; but haven’t changed my debit card information. Please consumer we are under attack ; be on the look out for scammer artist!
