Scam Description
The scammer told me I approve for a loan, but needed my account information to make a small deposit so my credit score goes up. I proceeded with giving my information to the scammer, and he did deposit the $500, but asked if I send it back for a larger amount to be deposit into my account. After he asked me to send me the $500 on cash app with a username to send it to. I ended up sending him the $500 on cash app and was told once I did that I’ll receive my loan of $5000. But once I tried login in to my account it was no longer active and my account was deactivated. And he also told me to clear the account before making the deposit, so now I have nothing.
