Description

Being desperate for a loan, I allowed lending cred to have access to my bank account and password. The loan officer told me he was depositing money in different amounts into my account in which I needed to return back in the form of gift cards from target. This would build credit and satisfy insurance somehow. At first I thought whats the harm? I don't have any money in my account, so what's wrong with giving back what they deposited? However, I noticed some of my transactions became claims I didn't make. All from transactions and bills I paid. They even reversed a transaction from an Amazon purchase I made. This guy had me purchase a 450$ card yesterday..then after photocopying and messaging the receipt and back of the card showing the numbers, he claims there was no money on the card and to go back and get it replaced. I know now this was a scam because he claimed he called the 800# and they said it was defective. When I called, a computer said there is a zero balance. I'm just p.oed.
