Cash Financial USA Cash Financial Bad Credit Cash Loan Scam California
Company claimed to be able to provide up to a 5,000.00 loan even with bad credit. First they wanted me to load 200.00 onto a green dot money card so they had some kind of insurance because of my credit being low. After I gave them the number on the greendot card they were supposed to transfer the funds to my checking account. Of course they had a reason it couldnt go through because the credit company froze the funds so then I had to get another greendot card for 100.00 so they had a little more insurance guranteeing that my funds would be transferred. Well for the second time it did not go through because they claimed since the funds froze the first time they could not do the transfer because my bank would not allow it. So again guranteeing that if I uploaded 110.00 to another greendot card they would transfer the funds through Western Union. Again I continued with the process, putting my trust in these people and once I gave them the card number they did give me the number so I could pick up the funds from Western Union but once i got there they could not find the number they gave me. Go figure! I dont understand how people can rip you off when the reason Im getting the loan is because I need the money. I ended up using my husbands entire paycheck for the week plus borrowing money from a friend to try to go along with their process to recieve the loan. They claim to be a legitament company but do not mistake their kindness to be truthful because all they want to do is see how much money they can get out of you. If this report stops one person from going through them then this report has served its purpose.

This is called the Advance Fee Loan scam

It is not legal for any lender to collect a fee in advance of a consumer loan in the US. A legitimate lender would have deducted fees from your proceeds rather than have you pay before the 'loan' is issued. At no time was this ever a legitimate lender - it is a very old scam that has been around for years.
The way these Advance Fee loan scams work is just as you describe in your complaint. By the way, the scammer did get your funds. The scammer will tell you anything to get you to load up $$ onto a reloadable card and then provide the PIN so they can take the cash. The scammer continues to tell you a variety of excuses to get you to put more and more funds onto these non-traceable cards. The scammer only stops once you catch on that it is a scam.
There is no loan. The lender does not exist except as a scammer in some location with a throw away number. You can read details on the FTC(dot)gov website so you can recognize the tricks that these scammers use to get funds from you.
File a police report. You probably won't get your funds back, but at least the police will have something to go on. Be careful. Now that you have paid one scammer, you are probably on a list of people that have paid so you are much more likely to be contacted again in the future by other scammers. Don't send money to a stranger via reloadable cards or western union or any other untraceable method of payment.
