I had applied for a loan online. I got a response from Cash Advance America. The man's name was Mike. He told me I was approved for a loan with them. I was told I would need a Green Dot MoneyPak Card. I did this and provided Mike with the MoneyPak information. I was told the money would be verified and my loan plus the money I put on the MoneyPak would be deposited into my Checking account. I then get a call back a bit later that there was a problem with depositing the money in my account, then they would need to do it through Western Union. I was given the Western Union Transfer number by Mike. I went to my local Western Union, filled out the paperwork and waited for my money. The lady put in the information and it came back with NO money transfer. We waited a bit and she tried again. And again there was no money. I called Mike at Cash Advance America. He told me the money should be transfered. We want over the transfer number information. The lady tried it again. Nothing! I called back. I expressed that my concern and that I would need my money back if I was not going to be getting the loan money. He then told me I would need to pay a refund fee. I told him I could not do this as he already had the money I did have. I expressed that I felt like I was being scammed and that I wanted my money back. He told me I was not being scammed but if I felt I was I shouldn't call there again. He then hung up on me. When I tried to call back I got a message that the "Magic Jack" customer I was contacting was not available. I tried many times and got the same response. I was scammed out out of 620.00 total. I can't believe I let this happen to me. I don't know how to get this money back or even if I can.
