Kevin Smith for Speedy Cash Identified his business as Speedy Cash. Said my loan application was approved North Carolina
In December I was looking for a loan. I received a text message from a person identifying himself as Kevin Smith from a business called Speedy Cash. I looked up the business and there is a Speedy Cash that is a legit business. He congratulated me and said my loan was approved. I was really desperate for the money and I just was not thinking clearly.
We went through him wanting to link up with my bank account and he asked me for my password to link up. My bank had safeguards on my account though, and he could not access my account. He promised me that when he gets access and sends the info to their loan department, I would have the money within 30 minutes.
I asked if I was going to get online paperwork and all the info about the loan. He said yes and that my first payment would be January 21st for 225.00. I was borrowing 2500.00. He was still trying to get my online User and password. He sent me what looked like paperwork from Speedy Cash. It appeared legit. The link up with my bank account did not happen. He then said I had to make a payment through a Target Money card. He wanted to see if I had money in my bank account.
I was to picture the Target card and send it to 336-933-0717 for 500.00. Kevin said the Account department was waiting. I sent Kevin (Speedy Cash). 700.00 of my own money. The "account" department was supposed to be redepositing tne money back to me. HE told me I had to pay 500,00 more for a transfer fee. Well I stopped with the scam. I lost 700.00 trying to get a 2500.00 loan that was a fraud.
I called Speedy Cash to complain about what Kevin Smith put me through. The person I spoke with told me they are not located in North Carolina but in Kentucky. Speedy Cash is not licensed to to make loans in Pennsylvania. I reported Kevin Smith to Speedy Cash and I also reported what he was doing to Target Stores. There was nothing the Target store could do about my lost money I sent Kevin Smith on those Target Cards. I was told to make a police report. Kevin Smith would not answer me. I still have all the Text message conversation I had with Kevin Smith and the phone numbers. again phone numbers are 336-933-0717 and 336-833-0518.

I do not understand how this can still be happening. Do you people EVER do a ten second google search before handing total strangers money, ever?

You gave your money to a scammer overseas more than likely. NO legitimate company asks for money upfront especially gift cards so your money is GONE.
