Description

Received a personal loan offer via text after applying online from a company called "Advance America Payday Loans" but uses the same logo of the Advance America company. Verification link to form for personal information sent that asks for bank routing and account number in addition to name, address, phone number. After verification was complete, the "loan agent" Henry Brown text me that in order to complete the loan process, I'd need to send him my online banking login information (username and password), which I did not provide and ended the conversation. The next day, I received the EXACT same loan offer, from the same company, but this time the "loan agent" name was Kevin Carter. His phone number was exactly the same except for the last two numbers in sequence (same area code, same prefix, same first two numbers of last four). This is clearly one person running multiple scams on multiple burner/fake cell phone lines. DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION
