Yes I had applied for a loan online and was called back a few days later saying that I was approved. I was instructed that I needed to proved that I was a "financially strong" person so I must produce 10 percent of the loan onto a Greendot money pak voucher. I was informed that no money would be taken off of this card that they were only going to check the amount I had on there to verify the 10 %, and not to activate the card until told to do so otherwise.
I instead put it on a greendot money card and was later told that the money card would be acceptable to use and that the only thing I was to do now was wait from Friday to Monday 1 pm for "Cash Advance America" to talk with my bank and explain that I was receiving a loan, and some other technical things.
So I waited until past 1 before I called to check in on my loan that I was supposed to be approved for. They told me that a money card would not work to put another 500 dollars back onto a greendot money Pak.
So I figured that I would just take the money that was SUPPOSED to be on there off, have them send me a permanent card and try the money pak which was around 5 dollars and I was informed that the card was not activated that they could/would not activate it.
Whenever I tried to activate the card for the card for the first time, it said that it was already activated and the name it was activated under wasn't mine, nor was the area code.
Whenever I talked to the super visor concerning this I was informed that I was scammed and that all the funds were taken off my card.
I have the receipt, the package the card came in, my "Eric Thompson" and the 818-945-1425 number I was being called from. If you are interested in a loan for whatever reason, please do not be fooled by this scammer!
