Scam Description
Offered a loan…they made deposits into my bank account and then claimed to verify they deposited 400 dollars in my account and requested I in turn get a prepaid card to return the funds to them before they deposited my entire loan. But the deposits were made before they asked for the money back. I was told he was depositing my loan and would be back on the line with my confirmation number only to come back on asking for a way to send or pay the deposits back. Upon getting the prepaid card and sending him the information on the card…Took pictures of the card and receipt as well………they have now asked my bank to return the deposits and causing me to have a negative balance which in turn will take from my paycheck once it gets deposited and I am further in the whole than I was to begin with. I never received the funds for the actual loan. I also have my bank information that shows the deposits, my purchasing the gift card and the funds being returned.
