they called saying I was approved for a loan. I had applied for a loan so I thought it was them calling me. they said all I had to do was verify my information. they already had my name, address, number, social security number. The only thing they didn't have was my email.... after verifying and waiting on the phone for an hour they said I needed to prove I had income. go to the store and buy a reloadable card for $495. did that, they took the $495. then another 45 minutes later they say well we can't transfer the money because you have a red flag on your social security number. then it was a red flag on my name. then they sent me a copy of a letter, through email, supposedly from the IRS saying I was being penalized for tax evasion. I'm like ok so why didn't they notify me? why do you have this information but I don't? they started saying if I just pay the fee and get the red flag off of my name that I could get the loan and my 495. we argued back and forth about how I don't have a red flag, yes you do, no I don't. asked for my money back and was told that the government froze the funds so they couldn't put it in my account but they could sent it western union or money gram. I was like um no you can't because you can't send more than $500 at a time. argued back and forth again. finally I asked if they could just send the 495 money gram. the guy kept saying I just needed to get the red flag off. I was like no I'm not paying for something I didn't do. like tax evasion... finally he said that I would get a subpoena in the mail and hung up on me. oh and I asked how he was going to send me money through western union or money gram if the funds we're frozen. he didn't like that question either. so I figured out it was a scam but it cost me $495. which I was actually going to the 7-11 where I got the card from, to buy a money order to pay my rent. now I have no idea how I'm going to pay my rent and my son and I are most liking getting evicted because I'm an idiot and fell for their scam. I figured it was legit if they already had my info
