Scam Description
THE SCAMMER CLAIMED TO BE FROM ADVANCE AMERICA WHICH IS AN ONLINE LOAN SYSTEM. I WAS OFFERED A 6000 LOAN AND THOUGHT IT WAS LEGIT. THEY SENT DOCUMENTS TO SIGN THROUGH DOCUSIGN WHICH LOOKED LEGIT. UPON GAINING ACCESS TO MY BANK ACCOUNT AND CASH APP THEY FILED CLAIMS ON MY BANK ACCOUNT ON PAYMENTS THAT WERE ALREADY MADE. ONCE THE CLAIMS WERE FILED TEMPORARY ACCESS WAS GIVEN TO THE FUND PENDING INVESTIGATION BY MY BANK AND THEY THEN TRANSFERRED THE FUNDS TO VARIOUS CASH APP ACCOUNTS THROUGH MY CASH APP AS WELL. I ATTEMPTED TO RETRIEVE THE FUNDS THROUGH CASH APP WITH REPORTING THE SCAM BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO ISSUE A REFUND. I ALSO INFORMED MY BANK AS WELL AND THEY DECLINED TO REFUND ME AS WELL STATING I USED FUNDS TO BENEFIT ME BUT I WAS EXPLAINING THAT I NEVER HAD THE FUNDS AT ALL AND NEVER AUTHORIZED THE CLAIMS. I’M CURRENTLY 4K IN THE NEGATIVE ON MY BANK ACCOUNT AND THE BILLS THAT I PAID TO COMPAINES HAVE COME BACK SHOWING I HAVEN’T PAID DUE TO THE CLAIMS.
