Description

I received an email stating that I was approved for $5,000. loan with paument of $87.50 for 60 months with total payback $5,250.00. Information with a written letter to call Daniel Brown Loan Officer Advance America at 323-991-6773 I called and his statement was to get the loan i would need my bank account verified by using my mobile app to deposit $400.00 and I was to return $350.00 using another name and email through Zelle. I tried several times but I kept receiving an air message from Wells Fargo bank of invailed email.I reported to Daniel that I was unable to send and the message kept stating invalid email. After 3 attempts he stated I was to go To Wamart and get a gift card at this point I hung up and blocked his number. I am assuming that after 3-7 day those funds will no longer be in my account as it was with the previous scam. I have never incountered a loan company expecting to deposit and receive a portion back as a bank account verification
