Scam Description
I saw a advertisement for a government loan program I was inboxed on Facebook information about the program and that there is a membership fee of $100 to join. This was to insure that I was serious. I cash app $100 and was sent a email to fill in my information. I received a approval email stating that I qualified for $40,000 and could withdraw $20,000. I submitted my request to withdraw $20,000 and receive a message stating that I will receive the money in my account in 2 hours. When that didn’t happen I contacted customer service chat and then was told that I can send another $100 for a instant bank transfer. I’ve been trying to receive a refund and keep hitting a dead end.
