Complaint Review: AmeriLoan

 I received a call from Robin Clevland at AmeriLoan stating that if I purchased an Greendot card and put 150.00 on it I can borrow $700 and the $700 will be deposited into my account along with the $150 I put on the greendot card. I did this because I was going through an extreme financial situation and the company took advantage of that. Once the money way given to AmeriLoan, I was then told that if I needed a larger amount I could purchase another card and add 250.00 to it. I relunctly did it because I was pressed for the money. When I called back, I was told the money was ready to be deposited into my account and I just needed to pay a 80.00 ACH fee. I paid this fee and now every time I call someone hangs up on me or either just get a busy signal as if my number has been blocked. I tried calling from another number- was immediately put on hold, and now that number is blocked as well. I tried to call Greendot to dispute the transaction but and the customer service agent nonchalantly told me there was nothing they can do. I asked him if he was aware that AmeriLoan is using their company to scam people and was told..."yes- that's why you should be careful on who you give your money to".
