On 2 March I filled out an application on the website of itaxadvance.com in an attempt to get a $300 advance on my taxes. Once I filled out the form and hit send or complete, I knew right away that this was not what it porttrayed to be. The site immediatly sent me to a site/page that looked like advertising for some type of Merchant loan and I immediately closed the page. I then called the 1-800 number to my bacnk and had a fraud alert put onto my accout and went to two of the three credit reporting agencies to put an alert on my file as well. On 7 March, I logged into my account to see of any transactions due to remembering that when i filled out the erroneous application I put pay next pay period. There was a check in the amount of $30 take out of my account dated 5 March 13. Though I was paid my normal amount from my employer, there was a $120 difference in the amount that was supposed to be in my account but no "credit" was shown. This is too fishy for me, I have received nothing in the mail or email in regards to this transaction and i would just like for this to go away. I know that putting my personal info out there was a gamble but I was desperate and now I am paying the price.
