Applied for a loan in hopes of saving the life of my wife's dog. Was approved for the $3000. but was told by ALLEN that I needed to send him $150.00 as "insurance." When I questioned him regarding this practice...he became somewhat aggressive. I said I would have to get back to him and that was the end of the first conversation.
The next morning, he was ringing my phone off the hook..which I chose to ignore. Out of desperartion, I did phone ALLEN on Friday, July 19, 2019 and informed him I would agree to the $150.00. He then explained to me that I needed to go to the store and buy an "ELITE" gift card and text him a picture from the back of it where he could see the code.
I did this...and approximately 20 minutes later, he phoned and tried telling me that he needed ANOTHER card for $150.00. When I told him there was no way I was going to send it because that WAS NOT what we had agreed upon, he began telling me how wrong I was and that if I wanted the loan, I would send another card. I told him to "go to hell" and hung up.
At 8:49pm that night (Friday 19) I sent him a text and informed him that it was being reported as a scam. Saturday morning he sent a message back saying he had told me 2 cards...each for $150.00 I did send another text informing him that I would not be accepting the loan and I wanted a refund on the $150.00. He became extremely hostile and told me I would not receiving a refund NO MATTER WHAT!!
Dave came into the picture a couple days later when he phoned. I told him that I was turning it over to the FBI (suggested by GOOGLE because that was the type of card I sent him), and his snarky reply was...AND I QUOTE..."You really think they are going to get your money back for you?" At this point I became so angry I hung up.
All I was hoping for was a loan to help save my wife's dog Yzma...and instead I get a couple of arrogant pricks who need to be....
