Description

Caller stated he was Alan Smith with Lending Club about my loan application. (I did apply for a HELOC with Happen/Lending Club) he then asked for my name, address, phone number, email, SSN and for me to verify my bank’s information. He then said that they would deposit $970 to my account to verify my account and would like for me to return it via bitcoin. I told him that reputable loan officer would ask for a payment in bitcoin and that he and his company were scamming and causing defamation to a real company and stealing my information. He proceeded to send me harassing text messages and threats to have me arrested. I asked him to cease and desist with his calls, texts and threats and that I would be get law enforcement and legal counsel involved if he continued. I have since blocked the number
