I had been looking online and applied for a couple loans, so it wasn't a surprise to me when I received an email response from Mark Davis at Ace Cash Express saying that I had been approved. I was at work, so I had to communicate via email with him. There was even a pdf file emailed to me on company letterhead saying I'd been approved for a loan.
After my work day was finished, Mark said I needed to get a Green Dot Card for $200 to secure my loan, and it would be deposited within a half hour. Low and behold...no money was ever deposited into my account, the Green Dot Card is empty, and I can't get a hold of anyone. Should have listened to my gut :(
