Total money lost $4,000
Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I was in search of a dept consolidation loan. I filled out the app on line. Several pay day loans responded. E-loans was the only one that responded after an hour of searching.
said I was approved for $5,000.00. took down info. bank routing and acct. numbers. He said everything was okay and he would send paper work by email and would deposit money in my bank.
I didn’t hear from him no more that day. Next day was Friday mid morning I checked with my bank and there was deposit for $2000.00. when he called he said everything was approved and deposited. well I told him he had deposited the wrong amount. He apologized and told me to send that back and he would then deposit the right amount.
By then I should had realized what he was doing. I sent the money to him via Walmart gift cards. He then deposited the wrong amount a second time. again I was going to send it back to him then my bank froze my account.
I spoke to my bank on Saturday and they said a had been scammed. the checks were no good and that i would have to pay back the money. Bank took my scocial security check for payment. I had to come up with the rest.
