Description

Texted saying a $5000 personal loan approved. But I deleted the text. Then a phone call came from a John Watson with return call requested to get $5000 loan processed. Lots of info and discussion. He then sent an email which requested my bank info along with password. I stupidly gave to him. As call continued he requested me to go to Walmart and buy a Visa card. They would test out sending funds to me then I would have to pay those funds back. Said funds up to $200.00. He attempted to log in to my bank acct. At that time bank texted me a code. He asked what’s the code. I did not give to him. I hung up and called my Chase bank. They walked me through resetting my bank username and then I reset my password. They noted the encounter.
