I received a Visa debit card from US bank in the mail. I did not request one, nor do I have an account with this bank. When I tried to call the number I could not talk to a person–I kept being prompted to enter the card number, then my SS # (which I did not enter) or to give them my phone number and birth date (which I also did not do).
I called another number listed at the bottom for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and was told this was unemployment fraud and to report it to Indiana Unemployment, but was unable to do so.

I was looking for a loan online. US Bank called me and said I was approved for a $5000 loan. He had an accent. He wants me to pay $200 with a Google Play Card. He said to buy it from Walmart. I filled out a loan application with my bank account information, social security number and driver’s license number.

Upon receiving the phone call, you will hear an automatic message about being eligible for a loan of up to $7000. I’ve asked numerous times to be removed from whatever call list they may have me on, and every time I’ve called back, I’ve been put in touch with multiple different people as soon as the call goes through, all of whom immediately hang up on me as I start to speak. They must have realized I blocked the first number they were calling me from, which they were doing about every 10 minutes some days, and started calling from a new number, only one up from the previous.

I received several voicemail all from US Bank saying I had be approved for a 5000 loan. I called back. I spoke with a George Moore. He said I needed to go to CVS or Walmart and purchase a red US Bank card for $200.00, call him back with the code on the card and the funds for the loan would be transferred to my account. I called back the next day because I had more questions. I asked George to send me the details of the loan. He asked if I had purchased the card. I lied and said yes but that I wanted to see the terms before I gave him the information. He said I will email them to to you. He hung up quickly. I never received any email. I called back several times. I was hung up on each time.

Woman messaged "This is US Bank
you have been appoved for a 5000.00 loan call back." My husband called back spoke with Peter Brown.
Peter told my husband that he would have to send a deposit of 425.00 dollars due to his low credit score, before they would be able to get the loan deposited in our checking account. We did not find this too suspicious due to applying for online loans that day. Peter procceded to verify my husbands information as in SS#/drivers license#/our address and our bank routing and account #etc.
My husband said the date he was going to get paid on and would call back when he had the money available. I found that the money up front before the loan was suspicious so we got the US Bank phone number off of the official web site for them and called US Bank later that day. We found out from the Chief Loan Officer that this is a SCAM. He told us they never ask for money up front before a loan and advised us to never do that with any loan provider.
I looked up all of Googles reverse directory sites that I could find and after many hours came up with no info exept that 228-325-1256 was in Biloxi Mississippi and is provided by a Level 3 Communications Company named Airus Inc.The IP address for the phone number is 207.204.#4##27.
The other phone number they gave us is (425) 320-1692 which is a landline only found info as in Everette, Washington and IP
address 204.641#7##48: I am glad we did not send any money but I am concerned with the other victims out there that they may prey on. I found another victim on a scam reporting website that another person was scammed by the same person, same fake business name and phone # same name of person as the one we were contacted by so we aren’t the only ones these people are scamming. Please do what you can in regards to this matter. I hope this helps somewhat in warning others before they get ripped off. We learned a valuable lesson, DO NOT PAY MONEY UP FRONT BEFORE YOU RECEIVE A LOAN OF ANY KIND! Check the web for info on companys before you do business with them! I had no idea people do these things like scams I have read about after this incident! I don’t mind if you share my story with everyone in the world, people need to know because we didn’t! Thank you.
Update 3-30-2017 my husband called Peter Brown and asked him "could you please give me your loan officer identification number" and Peter Brown told him "Im not forcing you to take the loan" which was not the answer to the question in any way.
At that point my husband couldn’t take any more of his lies so he said
"you know what Peter, I called US Bank yesterday and they said you are not with them and you were scamming me! Peter hung up the phone immediately. Mainly what were doing is trying to tell the public the exact words he said so if they sound familiar you’ll know it’s a scam!

Hi I’m Greg in Ohio. I had a text saying I was approved for a 5000 installment loan from us bank. I called the number provided and spoke to a Jerry Wilson he told me that I was approved but needed to do a credit score. I do have bad credit so he said that he would deposit money into my bank account and when I sent it back that it would boost my credit score. He sent me almost 2000 into my account by mobile deposit and I sent back the 1250 by moneygram that he requested. He also had me purchase iTunes cards at the local Walmart leaving me 100 out of the 2000 . Soon after my bank notified me that the mobile deposit was fictitious and now my account is 2000 overdrawn. I spoke to his manager named Sam Wilson. I was asking that they take care of my overdrawn account. He told me that they would would but also wanted to add the 5000 to my account but required 10% from me. I said I only wanted my account taken out of the negative balance. Then he still wanted to charge me for doing that. I told him that I don’t have the money and he said that he could not do anything for me. Both Jerry and Sam Wilson have a middle eastern accent so please beware.

Then I was told that I need to send another $210.00 to release the loan to my checking account. Then I was told that they were having issues wiring the money into my account. So they had to send it Western Union. So I needed to send another$300.00 for the Western Union fee. Then I was told there was a problem with the Western Union. So he had to go back to trying to send my checking account. So again I sent another $210.00.
