Scam Description
They offered me a 5,000 loan and said that I had to make a down payment on it in order to proceed because my credit score was so low, so they sent me a check to cover the “down payment”. I deposited it into my bank account and the check went through and I sent the money back, then they said I had to increase my credit score so they were going to remove some of my debt before they could follow through with the payment. I called my bank and informed them of the possible fraudulent check and I’m going to have to pay the 1436 back.
