Scam Description
I was told I was approved for a loan in the amount of $8000. However, I had to make my first loan payment in advance. It was requested via Zelle or CashApp. User ID was blocked by Zelle for my protection. I was then provided a Bitcoin wallet address on CashApp. Had to send payment twice. I was provided with a wire reference for my loan but no wire ever showed up. I was told because wire was sent after 4 pm. Next business day, still no wire.
