Cash Advance Usa They called and said i was approved for 5000 and that the money was gone be deposited into my account after i pay my wire transfer fee of $287 but the money was never deposited. Clearwater, florida Internet
I applied for a loan on da internet and was called saying i was approved for $5000 and all i had to do was pay for the wire transfer of $287 and $65 for verification and had me load the cash on this apple reload card and give them the numbers on the back of the card. Im so pissed and hurt because that was all the money i had. We in the process of going thru a hurricane and now i dont have money for gas or to eat for the hurricane. These people really needs to be stopped cause they taking from people who not fortunate. Im going thru a struggle and its wrong they took all i had.

I am sorry to hear you were scammed by these people. It is NEVER LEGITIMATE for a borrower to pay a fee up front to get the proceeds of a legitimate loan. If there were upfront fees on a legitimate consumer loan, then those fees would be taken from the proceeds of the loan. Go to FTC(dot)gov and look up Advance Fee scam. It will give you details on the red flags to watch out for so you don't get taken. Next time you need a loan, don't communicate with anyone that asks for money up front.
