First Financial Reviews

  • Oct 14, 2017

Due to financial problems, I applied for a personal loan to get rid of my debts and rebuilt my credit score. james anderson, I am pretty sure it's not his real name, he got an indi accent; he called me and made me this generous offer about a loan of 5000 $. Because I was in the rush to solve my issues, I accepted it. He asked about my information: employer, driver license, pay stubs even my bank account information. Then, he sent me the paperwork by email for me to sign them but I told him that I couldn't print them because I was on travel on the road. So he sent me a link, a form to fill, what I did. A few minutes later he called me back and told me everything was going good and I will get my loan the next day in the morning.

I was quite intrigued because everything was by text message and I asked him why is that. He didn't answer. Late in the night he called me and told me that to get the loan, I need to go to walmart to send him between 500 to 700 $! I was astonished! I asked what's going on.

He said it was the procedure, he will make an electronic transfer in my account and I just need to refund him the money to ensure getting the loan but before 9:00 est. Now I was worried so I begin questioning him and he got upset saying you need to be positive, this is business. I said ok, he can call me early in the morning.

After he hanged up, I looked in Google about him or his company. I saw just one report about it. I decided to see where he could go. So early around 6:00 am, he send me a good morning. At this moment, I checked my account and a mobile deposit was made about 733$. I called my bank and they acknowledged it . When I told them I didn't make this deposit, they advised me to report it to the fraud department. So he called me and asked me if I saw the money in my account, I said yes 733$. He said now it was time to go to walmart for the refund. I told him that I was stuck at work for a delivery. He insisted because at 9:00 am it will be too late and I risk losing the loan.

I asked him if he got into my bank account to make a mobile deposit, he denied it. I told him that I received a notification from my bank about that suspicious activity. He just got upset and threatened me saying if I don't refund the money he will call the justice department and he will charge me 2100 $! I was scared first but I decided to remain calm. I propose to call my bank do we can make some arrangement to refund him. He said no, only at walmart. I said ok I cannot right now, I don't want to lose my job. He threatened me again. That's when I decided to stop everything and I called my bank. The lady told me that the 733 $ was just removed from my account so it was fake. I closed this account. He should be in jail. Everybody pay extra attention with these criminals.
