This is an addtion to my recent post. I did call the FTC (Federal trade Commission) and report this. I suggest anyone who has been contacted by this "Glen Austin" also do the same.The fTC phone number is 877-382-4357, press "3" and u will get a live person fairly quickly and are very easy to speak with. She also advised clalingmy state attorney general (Ca) which I plan to do at 800-952-5210

I received a callfrom "Glen Austin" offerring me an $1800 loan at an 11.2% APR with 12 monthly payments of
$159.  He said he could either WEstern union the funds. I though thi was odd. He said he could also put ithemin my account. He wanted me to verify the last 4 of my SSN, I said n. Then he did he would give me 2 of them to confirm. I said no again and he proceeded to explain. I asked about this Western Union stuff and asked if there were any fees. He told me of a $12 transaction fee. Then, on further inquiry he wants me to send $159 to show that I have the ability to pay the loan, as a security deposit that would be added to the Western Union $$ sent to me. This is A SCAM., as it is ILLEGAL for a company to charge fees in this manner. They are allowed to reduce the loan proceeds with allowable fees. I asked him how much time to decide, he said a week.  After reading all these replie there needs to be a way to stop this, perhaps the FTC?
I shall look for their website and see if I can report this.

This company scammed my girlfriend and me out of two hundred dollars. A Man by the name of "Glen Austin" @ EasyFinance Had me money gram 189$ dollars to Joven Pacheco In Nanila, Philippines and then i was told by him, after providing him with the MTCN number, that the "IRS Department" wanted me to pay another 181$ for advance taxes on the loan. When I advised Mr. Austin that I would not be able to allocate the other funds necessary "to complete the transaction" I recieved my fake MTCN tracking number for my loan amount of $1,800 plus the initial "security deposit" completely refunded. I was then battered by his manager "Frank Smith" and told to "f*** off" as I recall. Western Union was totally unhelpful when I was trying to resolve the matter initially but I am going to contact the bank promptly to help locate the scumbags responsible. Again, He goes by the name of Glen Austin @ EasyFinance and his number is "202-559-4645" and his other number was "202-559-4647" which I later discovered was for a software company in Washington D.C. Beware of these Scam Artists because they will rob you. 53 Hawthorne Ct.,Washington D.C. 20031 is the address he gave me to contact him after I recieved the paperwork for the agreement to pay back an amount of 189.37 a month until the loan was repaid in full. Be Advised.

called and said that they were calling about a loan i applied for.  he asked if i remembered that and i said no. he asked if i needed a loan and i said no.  he said thank you and hung up.  really surprised me because i was reading these as i answered my phone and i was ready to give him much attitude.  i learned the hard way about these folks and their loans...payday loans and all other loans that want you to pay every other week are the devil.  ugh!

They call me continously! I am so tired of these prank calls or whatever they are for!

A guy name Ron called me from this # his ext. 135 saying I was of approved for 2000$ and to go to Walmart and purchase a money pak scratch off and pay 147.00 for it the same as the other lady he stated it was Easy Finance

My friend who has a working visa got scammed today. She wired $500+ to Dominican Republic. Is there any way to get her money back?

I received a call from 202-559-4645,saying I had been approved for a loan of 1800.00.  I needed to find the nearest wester union and send 150.00 to get the 1800.00 plus the 150.00 back.
I didnt' send the money and hopefully they wont call back.  This was originally over the internet.

got a call from this number claiming that i applied for a loan.  i applied for a loan over a week ago. i don't need any money now.  i told him, although i'm not sure that he understood that i don't need anything but thanks for calling and hung up.  hopefully, they won't call back because i will recognize the area code and instantly give them attitude.

i got a call from this # and the guy on there said he wanted to f me and all kinds of porno talk and i will file charges on the people who are doing this

My friend came to me asking for a small loan.  He had told me that a couple months ago he had applied for certain government grants.  he never heard from them until now.  so, one guy called and told him he qualified for $6,000 in a government grant, if he only pays the $210 processing fee, via western union.  So he asked my husband.  My friend is always there for me when I need him, he will babysit and help with home repairs if I ever ask, so this was no big deal to loan him the money.  but then I started asking questions, which my friend couldn't answer.  he gave me the contact phone number to reach this guy at the "call center".  so I call, and to my surprise I spoke with someone with a middle-eastern accent named "steve".  I asked him exactly where he was calling from, what company he was working for. he said he wasn't working for a company. I was like, ok let me rephrase this question...  what building are you calling from and who pays you? he said the federal department of loans and grants.  I said great, the federal government programs typically have websites outlining these procedures and policies, and I would like to view the instructions that you are verbally giving me, as any exchange of money, especially one this large, needs to be in writing and I need to see the contract which states that there is no repayment necessary.  he asked me why am I making things so difficult? I answered back in a baffled voice and told him I don't understand what is so difficult about verifying a valid program. just give me the link and I will print out the instructions, and I will pay the processing fee. he then told me that he will send me the link as soon as I pay the processing fee. I tut-tutted and said oh steve, apparently the towel is wrapped too thickly around your head!  that's not the way things work here!  he then proceeded to tell me that he will throw out my friends file if he doesn't receive the money by today.  he asked me why am I forcing my friend to miss out on a "once in a lifetime opportunity" and it doesn't matter what situation you are in, as soon as ANYONE tries to force your decision based on a time restraint, it's time to dig in your heels.  I said I don't understand what the issue is if I'm trying to confirm a valid program.  there are all sorts of people out there who are fraudulent and scam, and I want to make sure that I am protected. he started yelling "are you calling me a liar!" I tut-tutted him again and said he probably didn't understand the english language enough to catch that I wasn't implying him, but others, but as a matter of fact, I need to speak to your superisor. he said he didn't have one, and then that HE was the supervisor.  I said "wow! in that HUGE organization that you claim to represent, the grunt that answers the phone is in fact THE supervisor as well! WOW!" he hung up. so I called back.  and said "oh dear, steve, we must have been disconnected! For shame, especially since I wanted to speak with your superisor!!!!!" he asked me to hold, waited for ten seconds, and then came back on the phone and said "yes, this is the supervisor! I understand you wish to speak to me!"  so I said, wow! that was super genius! is your name steve too! (heavily sarcastic voice)  he hung up. then called my friend, on his personal cell number.  and asked him why did he think he was kept on the phone for so long? because we, the FBI, are tracking you!  you have exactly ten minutes to get out of there, and I'm only telling you this because I'm a former scammer and I know how it is. Run buddy! RUN!!!!!!!  made my day! bwahahahahaaha!

They called me and offered a $3,000 loan with a great payoff amount. If only I would send them money via western union, they would return it after 10 minutes. In the last few days they have offered a grant, a scholership, auto loan, and they seem to get their feelings hurt when I point out how stupid I must be to give them any money for even a second.  Thanks for your comments, I wont even pick up their next call.

KEEP CALLING MY PHONE AND WHEN I TELL THEM TO STOP BILLIONS OF TIME THEY CALL DONT SAY ANYTHING AND HANG UP. HOW CAN I GO ABOUT TO HAVE HEM STOP

I've totally been getting harassed - non stop for the last 4 days from this number, along with 8 other non-existent area code numbers about loan approval - they keep asking for JOSE.  Does anyone know a way to report them?

Caller: 202 area code scams

I got a call from 202 559 4645 saying I had been approved for a 2500 dollar loan. They wanted me to go to Wal-Mart and purchase a green dot money card and put 150.00 0n it. They said this is o show them I have money and that I can make my payments every month, but I'm not dumb or stupid. I know they will take me for the 150.00 and I don't have money like that.

keeps calling my cell number i don't pike up numbers i do dont know

they want to give me 3000 loan.  I have to go to western union and give them 50 first.  I don't think so.

Keep getting calls from this number saying that I have been approved for a loan.

This number keeps calling saying that I have been chosen to recieve a goverment grant and to provide them immediately with my bank account information.  But you know that you are speaking to someone in another country because they can barely speak english.
