Description

I received a phone call from www.PersonalloanUSA.finance from phone number 850-203-0207 and received text messages also from phone number 850-633-8711 stating i was approved for a loan in the amount of $2,000 up to $10,000. They proceeded to tell me my bank name, account number, and routing number and where i work also. They asked me to let them know the amount i was wanting to recieve and then they told me my APR would be 10% and they sent me an email containing a Loan aggrement and terms with the APR 10%, Monthly payments $245 for 36 months on an $8,000 loan, and total to payback showing the amount of $8,820.00. They told me all i needed to do to receive this loan is to send over an attached copy of my driver's license to the email they sent me of the loan terms, so i did. They told me once they recieved my driver's license and it had been reviewed the funds would direct deposit into my account within 5 minutes. After sending my driver's license to them, they then stated before we can deposit your funds you must purchase insurance for this loan that is free to you, they said they would deposit the insurance money amount into my account and all I needed to do is give them the code my bank had text to my phone then go to the nearest Walmart or CVS store and either by a card or Western Union that money directly back to them for the insurance. I did not feel comfortable giving them the code to my bank and they continuously tried to reassure it was not a scam but they needed the code to confirm it was my account. I would not give it to them and did not go further with the situation but they do have my bank name, account number, routing number, my driver's license, and my personal information along with my job information. I have the emails they sent me of the loan terms, and screenshots also of everything.
