They call and ask for fee in order to get loan. When you ask for your money back they say you have to pay more fees. When you tell them you will not send money they start swearing at you over the phone.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
A person called me and said they were from US Loan Depot and I had been approved for a $3000 loan. The payment would be $150 per month for 23 months and asked if I would be able to afford that payment. I said yes I could afford that monthly payment. He said I could either give them my bank information or receive cash through Walmart, western union, etc. I told him Walmart because I didn’t want to give them my bank info. He said I could go to Walmart and pay $150 to them to prove I could make monthly payment and then in 10-15 min I would receive the transfer to Walmart. I told them they could take that $150 out of my $3000 loan but I wasn’t sending them money. He kept trying to get me to send the payment, even telling me after I said I wasn’t sending payment that the $150 was refundable and not a payment. I finally told them to remove my name and to not call me back and he hung up.

I applied for a loan on line. I then received a call. The loan was supposed to be for $3000. I was told I needed to go out and get an EBay card to cover the first months installment of $150. I did that. Then it was fee after fee they asked for, all needed to be on the Ebay card. After over 1400 later. I still haven’t gotten my loan. The last fee asked for was $400. Using all of mine and my husbands cash we are in trouble. Can’t pay electricity, mortgage or any other bill.
