Scam Description
I was applying on line for a personal loan, not aware of the website. But the email I received after stated that I was approve for loan amount of $1500, monthly installments of $89.36 for 18 months with an interest rate of 8.99% apr. I provided all my personal information and bank account. The email was very suspicious as it stated it was an accredited business with the BBB and FDIC. That all copies of the agreement will share a copy of agreement with BBB & FDIC. The telephone calls will be federally monitored and recorded by FDIC & BBB. BBB receives the right to increase or decrease the loan amount before any transition is done or agreement finalized. After talking with the BBB it was verified that all the information that was provided to me was fake and a scam. I have taken to next steps to protect me identity and notified my bank.
