Instant Credit Loans - Kevin BEWARE, Instant Credit Loans is a Scam!!! Unknown Nationwide
Instant Credit Loans called and left a message on my phone, with a professional English speaking voice. She stated I had been approved for a loan up to $5000. I had filled out a loan request which had been shot out to multiple companies and my credit score has dropped 65 points. When I called the number back I was greeted by Kevin, who already linked my SSN, Bank Account, Address, Birthdate and all to my phone number. He said I was qualified to borrow from $1000 -5000. He told me there was no processing fees and no prepayment penalties. There was a lot of background noise. Foreign speaking and I think dishes. A women was speaking in Arabic I believe. It sounded as she was shouting at a child. So I thought, he must work from home. He told me the money could be deposited in 45 mins.... But he needed a sort proof that I in good faith I could make my payment. He told me to go to Walmart and get a $250 Visa prepaid card. That I could spend the money on what ever I wanted, AFTER he verified the funds. I'm sure! When I told him this was a scam, his voice elevated and told me this was a recorded line, and he had all my info and could look at my bank account. That I was the one who applied for this. Now I'm scared this guy has my account info. Who can I contact to shut this jerk down?

Based on your post, it sounds like you filled out an application when you applied for a loan online. If you put in your personal information including ss# and bank account info, it is wise to contact your bank and change your bank account. Also, freeze your credit reports so no one else can get your credit report without specific permission. There is no doubt that this person, Kevin, is a scammer. He is following the path of a well known financial scam. I'm sure his name is not even Kevin. These scammers go by many different names and different company names.
Your instincts are good. You shut down the "application" before giving them any money. Sending them the numbers off a pre-paid card would result in the scammer getting the money and you losing. I'm glad you didn't lose any money so far. Protect yourself further. Go to the FTC.gov website and see what other suggestions they have for avoiding scams like these.
