Description
I received an e-mail offering a $5k loan from Advance America. They called me from 347-727-4421. They accessed my personal bank account online and deposited $994.33 via Remote Deposit Capture. They called me again, wanting me to send them back $850.00. I felt like they weren't legit, so I back traced their 347 number and it came up as a NY number and as Advance America which I have heard of previously. I went to the actual Advance America website and called their 800 number. They do not have any of my info on file and they don't even do loans over 600 in Michigan. I called my credit union and they froze my accounts.
