Scam Description
This company sent me a text message asking if I was still looking for a loan. I replied Yes and they went over the loan amount and the interest in text messages, then they sent an e-mail for me to print the loan agreement out to sign and return to them. My printer is low on ink so I called them to see what I needed to do, did I only need to print out the page I needed to sign, or what, as I am low on ink, and that page would not print clearly. I asked to speak to Roy Cornwell, Loan Officer, ID: 102, and the person who answered the call said they could help me. He directed me to just reply to the e-mail that I accept the terms and conditions of the loan, which I did. After he received the e-mail he explained that the loan would be deposited via EFT and I needed to give him my banking log-in and password for my online banking, I have received a loan before, via EFT and know all they need to do that is use my routing transit number and account number. So, I told him I do not give out my private banking information. He tried to convince me that that was the procedure they use, and I hung up on him.
