Description

I applied multiple places for a loan online. My credit was bad so it took a long while to get one that approved me. I was really trying hard to pay attention to anyone I gave information to, this company seemed to be legit. I got the contract and signed it. The contract said that lend jet was the middle man so to speak and they would provide this 1200 insurance payment to the lender and then When I got the loan for $1200 more then the $3,000 that I was approved for. This took about a month. Each time I was supposed to get the loan there would be another problem. Each time I would have to get more money on a prepaid card and send him a picture of the card and receipt so he could get the numbers off it. were up to $1200 at this point. Now everything was supposed to go through and they needed to test the process and make sure it would go into my account. He sends me a paper and said I'm to copy both sides of this check and cut it out so it looks like a check made out for $400 . The test amount. He said to deposit it by phone so I took the pic and deposited it into my account. He told me to go to my bank to withdrawl the money and then cash app the money back to get my loan. I saw within an hour or so that The money was in my account. The $400. So, I go to the bank which I find out they were going to close my account for a fraudulent check deposit. I'm 99% an honest person so I start crying and tell the bank manager the whole story and show the manager everything. I made copies and saved everything from day 1. Then I asked him about the $400 deposit into my account because he said they didn't deposit the check. While I was waiting for this check to show up into my account, James Cooper was going through my account activity reporting alot of my transactions as fraudulent and the bank was refunded them amounts to my account. That was the $400. So, I told them that wasnt me and gave them the money back. That is the kind of person I am. So, these people probably used fake names but I see the Lend Jet website is still up and running. I have all these pics, the contract and the check if you want them. I definately would love my money back. At the least I'd like to stop them before they hurt other people.
