Description

BBBVA which is an international bank from Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria pretended to be a bank from The National Bank of Canada. They said I was approved a loan and it would be in my cash app in 10 minutes, but I gave the incorrect cash app username and it they wanted me to send $250 to send the correct tag name. Which I did and they walked me through steps to purchase bitcoin. I should have known right then this is not a legit company. I put a hold on my debit card that is affiliated with my cash app, which they have been trying to withdraw again from it, but I called my financial institute and blocked them. And the fact they stated they need me to pay $1500 to withdraw my loan, or else they stated that they will blacklist my references and call my job! Again, they demanded money and threated me, so again SCAM!!!! Please stay away from this fake loan ad which I found off of social media, they portray to be a legit company but THEY ARE NOT!!! Never once did they send me an email about the loan documents to be signed or when the first payment was due, or call me if I had any questions!! HMMMMM.........Please be aware of SCAMMERS it can happen to anyone!
