Monday 9/18 after work Linda contacted me saying I was approved for a loan. I had asked for verification on this loan and paperwork for it. I was sent an email. I verified that the place was a real place. Asked all the questions you should do. She kept me on the phone the whole time while I took money out of my account and processed it thru the gift card. Told me she needed it for verification it was truly me. And I asked why it had to be so much and on a GameStop gift card, not a card I would use, she said it was for security reasons and they had a contract with GameStop to do so. Then after I did that and sent the card info to her thru text to a different number she texted me with, she asked me to do it again with the ant other GameStop card. I did. Then when I got him I received another email asking for another $300 that I didn’t have and that I would have to come up with to get my loan processed and that I would get my full $900 back then. I never sent them anything. I tried everything I could the next day 9/19 thru GameStop to get my money back and they wouldn’t do so. Kept saying the money was on the cards until about 4:45 when I last called asking to have it transferred to an e-gift card. They said it was processed the night I did the transactions and the scammers did 6 transactions for the e-gift cards all for $100 each. I have each order number for those along with the email they were sent to. I also have a number for a Mark White that was consider to be the “manager” of this scam.
