My husband and I have been trying to get a loan, so we filled out an application online. This company called us, saying the company name was Advanced Cash. The man sounded middle-eastern, but claimed he was located in South Carolina, but pronounced it South "Caroleena". His supervisor, Dominick, had the same accent. I was told in order to get the $3,000 loan we were seeking, we would have to deposit $180 on to a Green Dot paper reloadable card, not a plastic reloadable card, so that the FTC can verify that we have money to pay the $180 monthly payment. He said that we wouldn't be paying anyone, that this action was just for verification purposes for the FTC. Every question I asked he had an answer for. I ran all over trying to find this paper Green Dot card, and they apparently do not exist. I even went to the places they had given me to go to... Nothing. This was a blessing in disguise, because when they called me back today to see if I had purchased the Green Dot paper card, I said no because they do not exist at the locations he gave me, told them that I wasn't running around anymore, and said we either have the loan or we don't, which is it? Then Dominick said "he understands", and HUNG UP! Do not fall for this scam!!!
