Scam Description

These scammers acted as the business Advance America, on which I thought I was I was getting a reasonable loan. Always check the email they use. That was not the case, instead they used my information to get into my bank account and deposit fraudulent checks and then quickly remove them through Apple Cash/Zelle. I had banked through USAA, I had lost almost $3000, and was told by USAA that since these scammers had moved/spent the money that it was my responsibility when the checks were returned, hence losing the $3000. Please be aware.
