I went online a couple weeks ago & made the mistake of filing out some loan apps - within minutes my email & phone got flooded with "approvals, offers, etc". I never accepted anything from a company called ilender, but apparently they scammed enough info from what i foolishly put out there to charge my checking acct - at first I noticed a couple 1 & 2 cent chgs on 11/23. I called the 800#that showed on my bank records, got a dead air line, no dial tone, no rings, nothing. Then when I got paid on 11/25 - they chged my acct $30. I called the 800# again & this time I did get thru, but sat on hold for over 5 minutes - finally I got a heavily accented girl on the line named Ashley who gave me a line about this being my processing fee for a loan I had been approved for. I explained that I did not care what I had been approved for, I never accepted a loan from her company & that I demanded the $ be returned to my acct. She hung up on me - I called back, waited on hold again over 5 minutes. This time I got another heavily accented young lady named Annie. Explained my concerns to her - she apologized & claimed to cxl my "membership" and stated that the $ should be returned to my acct within 72 hrs. I'm giving them until 12/1 & then I'll be going thru the BBB & filing a complaint with the FBI as well, Unfortunately these scammers seem to be overseas somewhere - so I'm not expecting anything to happen quickly.
