Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I had been online searching for loans. A company by the name of Money Mart phoned me offering a loan for $7500. They wanted me to pay $200 upfront by gift card. This would cover insurance and guarantee I would receive the loan. I did not send the money.

I came across this because I was trying to make a few extra dollars by filling out surveys that are suppose to pay! These people were offering loans at $150.00 a month for 60 months . (They would only make $1000.00 on it. Which I calculated!) They claimed they were ‘above board’ as I questioned them! They were offering a loan of $5000.00 and it would be in my account in a few hours! It was already too late when they were telling me to go to Walmart and send $ to Illinois to a Mary Wilson! I told them I didn’t want anything more to do with them because this seemed shady! They kept threatening me saying I’d be in trouble and -$2000.00 in my account! I felt I had no other choice but to do what they asked! I made a mistake with the first request, so they told me to buy gift cards; Google, or Some other card I never heard of, for a total of $1500.00 and I’d get to keep the rest of the $. Once I bought these, I was to take photos of them after scratching the numbers and also pics of all the receipts, and text them to them. I was relieved when I was done doing this and again, telling them not to contact me again! Then they told me to buy 1 more card for $500.00 and I would have my loan!! I told them NO and that I’m done with them and they threatened me again! I then blocked their contact numbers! The next day they put my bank accent. into the negative and I now owe my bank well over $2000.00! I did this in the beginning out of desperation to get caught up on all of my bills because my roommate lost his job and it was all on me!!

I was offered a loan of $7000. 00 2 or 3 months ago. I haven’t received it yet. I’ve paid fee after fee, after fee. I believe it was Sept that I was offered the loan. I pay 1 fee and get stuck with another one. Last month I sent my whole social security to them.At the moment, I have $10,000.00 coming to me including the loan. Yesterday I gave them $100.00 and was going to borrow the $50.00. I got stuck with another fee of $250.00. This has been going on for quite some time. When is it going to stop.
