Description
I was approved for an $8000 loan, they asked for my personal information including the last 4 of my ss# then asked for my banking information including my username and password. I was looking up the company name they gave me while on the phone, it got an A+ so I went ahead and gave them my information so they could deposit the money. I was transferred to an account specialist to confirm my information, he then asked me to go to dollar general and get a target gift card, right then I knew it was a scam and told them not to proceed and I don’t want the loan, he cussed me out and hung up. The man said his name was Stephen Jones and his number is 773-234-2197
