Description
I applied online for a loan, I received a text from a Michael Brown. He said he was from advance America and I got approved. He stated if I had cash app they would send money and I this will help build my credit. They sent money but wanted me to send it back thru bitcoin. In the end no loan was ever given to me. I sent back 420 then they wanted to send me more but I would have to send it back again.
