I received a phone call stating that I was approved for a quick loan of $10,000.00. I said no I do not need that much. Then he asked how much do I want to borrow I said $1,000.00. H said I would have to go to Walmart and put $110.00 on a green dot money pak and call him back when I do it. I told him that I did not have 110.00 and he said well send $70 and then I could pay the rest with my first monthly payment. He knew my bank, bank routing number and my checking account number plus my date of birth and last 4 digits of my social security number. This was so convincing even though I know that I did not apply for a loan but I was in need of some cash so I went for it. I called him and gave him the number on the green do tcard! I am so mad at myself for falling for this SCAM! I went to BBB site before sending it and the website he gave me. Call myself checking it out before I sent the money and of course nothing is on BBB site. After realizing I had been SCAMMed i went back to the site and made a complaint about what happened. I received an email to from Eloan.com which should appear on their site if they really cared about their name being used. Here it is:
