Description
I had applied for a personal loan, when this company reached out stating that I was approved they explained that I would get a deposit (which I did) but I would have to send them a western union transaction to a barcode provided by the company in order to boost my credit score. When unable to complete a Western Union transaction they had me purchase 2 $500 Walmart cash cards and send them the information in order to boost the credit score and then the $10,000 loan would be disbursed to my bank account within a few hours. Instead, they had deposits small increments of money and informed me that I would have to send that money back to them as well in order for it to be completed. I just don't want someone else to fall for the scam in a time of hardship and need as I fell for some of it and have discontinued contact since.
