I received a call from a Shawn and he said that I was approved for a loan for $1000 - $5000. I just needed the $1000 so that I could get ahead because I needed just a little help with my rent and a few bill this month. They stated that I needed to go to KMart and get a greendot moneypak card for the amount of $110, which was completely refundable, so that I could prove that I could pay my monthly payment. An after the purchase I was to call call him back at (305) 203-4063. (I checked online and did some research and came up that it was good.) So I did, after that he transferred me to a James who then stated that I need to purchase another refundable moneypak for the amount of $200 and a Greendot prepaid card. Because there was a technical issue with depositing the money into my account so he has to open a Paypal account in my name and that required a $200 minimum on it. And then I had to purchase another refundable moneypak card for $120 so that I could get unlimited access PIN to any ATM. There was technical issues with that $120 so it was not there all of a sudden and he then demanded that I purchase another Moneypak card for $120 again. I told him I wanted a refund of the missing $120 plus the $310 that I had already given him and he said that it was in a Paypal account that is in my name and he can not access it to give it back. I refused to give him another $120 because I did not have it. I yelled and said a few choice words and then hung up on him and called Paypal myself to see if the "account" number he gave me existed. Guess what, it didn't. Customer service at Paypal gave me the number to Greendot and I called them to see if they have access to the information that was on my Moneypaks and told them why I was wondering. They informed me that they are in no way suppose to be used to verify anything when it comes to getting a loan and that on the cards and online they have the approved list of trusted people who we can give the number to and payday loan places are not on there. They started a ticket number and informed me that I need to contact local law enforcement to help get anything resolved. So that is what I am in the process of doing. I am leaving this information on here for those who want to double check into this information. I may not be able to get my money back but maybe I can stop it from happening to someone else.
