I was contacted 9/5 by an Anthony Clark (with a deep middle eastern accent... Should have been a red flag then)."Anthony" stated that I have been approaved for a loan. He asked how much would I like to apply for and the amount I gave apparently was below the mininum the company was required to give (the minimum was $1000)."Anthony" then went over my payment plan; he said the monthly payment of "$112 a month", but I would have to purchase a Vanilla Reload card with $125.00 as proof that I can pay the monthly of $112. I I purchased the card and provided the 10 digit number that was on the back of the card. Once I provided the info, he said that he or his manager would call back in 15 minutes with the status of the loan.
"Anthony" called back and stated that my bank rejected the loan 3 times and that I had the option of having the money wired to me through Western Union, but Western Union requested a fee of "$105.00". I was very desperate at the time and needed extra funds to go towards a few bills that I was running behind on. I had to purchase anothe Vanilla Reload Network card in the amount of $105. Again, gave the 10 digit number on the back of the card and I was provided with a MTCN # for Western Union... I was told to wait 15 minutes to allow the funds to transfer.
I went to my local Western Union dealer. I gave all info that I had, including the MTCN #. The teller stated that there was no money in the account (by this time allowed more than 15 minutes, it was 45). By this time the "CashNetUSA office" was closed. I contacted "Anthony" the next morning, 9/6. I then gave him the rundown of what happened at Western Union. Through the end of that I spat out another 230. This is when I was at the end of my ropes. "Anthony" said that there was $0 on the last card that I purchased and I needed to check with the store that I made the purchase from. I stated that I would not do that, I called Vanilla instead to see what was going on. I checked the balance 1st and it stated that the money was already redeemed. I prompted to speak with a live person at that point, I was told by the rep that the money was indeed deducted from the card but didn't say from whom. I immediately called "Anthony" back with much suspicion and I called Vanilla back on 3 way call so that they could repeat to him what was told to me. The rep sent an dispute form to my email to fillout and fax back all necessary info to them. The papers would be reviewed and receive refund.
At this point, I'm furious and in a deeper whole than I was before making contact with CashNetUSA. Later on the day of 9/5. I receieved a call from my banks Fraud department stating that there were purchases that were attempted to be made on Ebay in India. Luckily good folks over at Navy Federal intercepted the purchases. My account has been compromised and I had to get a new card and account. Smh
I called "Anthony" that same day going off about what happened. He stated that they had nothing to do with what happened with my account and he wouldn't even bother to answer my call if there were any scams going on. I then asked for all money forwarded from me refunded in full. He stated that he would do so and I would have $460 in full monday 9/9. I have not seen a $1 of my money and I've been calling repeatedly and no answer, straight to voicemail...
This has truly been a hard lesson learned for me.in my right mind I would have never fallen for anything like this. Please take this from me and NEVER, NEVER deal with CASHNETUSA. Scam! Scam! Scam! Scam!
