I believe someone tried to scam me
 

So a few months ago I filled out some loan information online at some various places that I believed were secure. Now I am a young adult, decent credit but I dont expect any sort of huge sum of money to come my way. Anyways most of the places I looked into gave me some great info and I am still debating rates and other things. Well the whole experience got interesting a few days ago when I got a call in the middle of the day. This "bank representative" claims I have been qualified for a twenty thousand dollar loan. I felt that it was sketchy from the start. I asked him to email me the info and got a shitty looking word doc and when I looked at the website they gave me it resembled the page of another bank with a similar name lol. I investigated further and found out their website was just created days ago and even more so they asked me for money up front to even get the loan. Of course I know this is a huge scam now I am debating just fucking around with these people for fun whenever their always changing # trys to call me. FUCKING SCAMMERS ARE EVERYWHERE

You should report the situation to the police before someone else is scammed:

damn fucked up

what was their website url? let's ddos it

one of their many websites is thecommunityfinancial.com, mind you I never even signed up at this website lol. I am already paranoid about ID theft and would never put my info in something as unsecure as this site. Also their is a legit bank that uses something close to the same name but has a domain with an acronym instead. I have notified them today to let them know a possible scammer could be tanishing their image with a misleading name.

Too funny, from their contact us page...

No phone number, and a yahoo email address.

Oh man even funnier is when I brought up the physical location to the "rep" he sounded really confused, and the phone number has changed every single time he called lol. I brought up the fact he was on a yahoo addy and that made me feel insecure with the matter ehehe.

I can absolutely confirm this for you. Always be on the lookout for scams because they are becoming more and more sophisticated. If you could just send $1,850.00 (US) to my paypal account, I will begin the confirmation process.


*(Confirmation process could take as long as 3 years. Please don't try to contact me or locate me. I move around a lot.)

Wow give me your paypal addy now! :1orglaugh :error

You are right about the sophistication though, these scammers were so eager to try and get my info they even drafted a loan contract that looks like a child made it.

that sucks man i would rpt it

looks like it

Damn report it as this is the only way they can be shut down

Imagine how bad it sucks for the people who are just trying to learn how to use the internet, or who just don't know to be on the look out.
I wonder how many people fall for these scams. Probably a bunch. It is very sad.

For sure I will. I wouldn't want someone else who is trying to establish a business to get caught up with people like this, they might not be fortunate enough to know the signs of a scam operation. It really is sad that assholes like this try and prey on startup operations and people they know have less then perfect credit. I have been doing research about these type of cons and it seems to be getting more and more advanced and popular.




On the other hand who needs a loan when you have programs like AdultMegaCash


... ok thats my one spammy comment of the day damnit.. you all knew it was coming.

One of the biggest clues to me was the badly done page, but a neophyte to the web probably wouldnt pick up something like that.

You might even get to post the local newspaper headline about the fucker going to jail!

You know its terrible for me to say it but im sure crafty SOBs like this have pulled this scam and variations of it over and over again and probably have their trail covered pretty well. Oh well its still going to get reported.

yea, that's fucked, wherever you turn people are trying to screw you :(

If he is taking money via paypal. get the paypal account, and then report him to them. they will shut him down right away.

Problem solved..I have the answer for your money problems :thumbsup

I am going to call the guy tommorow and ask him for options on sending in the payment and then I will see if that will help with pinpointing this mofo.

With any luck he'll get ass raped in prison.
