On 12/4/2013 I received a phone call from Robert Coston from Lending Club (916-227-1020) stating that I had been approved for $5000. I was told that I needed to pay a payment assurance with the FDIC of $280. This was showing the company that I promised to make payments and that the money I send would go into my account and used for the first payment and what was leftover would carry-over to the next month if I needed to use this money in case I couldn?t make payment. I was told to take cash to the CVS and purchase a Greendot Money Pak card and to call them back after I had made my purchase. I called him back with the number for the card for them to process and wait on my funding in my checking account. I kept checking my bank account and even called to verify with the bank. I later got a call around 10am on 12/5/2013 my bank called me (A foreigner) to tell me that my bank had denied my deposit because of the 9/11 terrorist attack banks will not let some companies deposit large amount of funds into their accounts my money will have to go to western union. I called Robert back and I was told to purchase another card to send $450 to process my loan. I only purchased $200 and sent to them. So when I called they were upset because I had not sent the whole payment but would take half to send $250. Robert told me he would call me back after he talked to accounting. Mind you that he had been calling me all day long every 30 minutes to an hour pestering me on when I was going to send the money. We discussed the possibility of me taking the money they send and purchasing the next half. I had a meeting to go to that day at 1:30 and wasn't able to call him back until 2:30. He had left work and that no one there could help me but the guy transferred me to another man Jon Lewis who told me to send the total amount so they could send me funds. I told them what Robert had said about our agreement.  He told me that he had to send my $200 back to me since they could not agree with what Robert had promised and could only divide payment up if I send $250. So they asked for my mailing address to send a check of $200 because they could not hold on to anyone?s money. I resent another $250 on another moneypak card. I called back and gave the number to them.  They gave me the run around about giving me my western union tracking number. SO finally they gave me one. I went to the nearest western union filled out the forms and gave them my id. The lady told me there were no funds there. So when I tried to call at 5:15pm they were closed. So I called back the next morning. I spoke with Robert he said that I lied on him and that his company did not trust me because of that. I said no you lied to me because I was told that you could send half if I sent $250 or $450 for total. AND I have done both and didn?t get my money. I want my money back for the company and from the FDIC. It?s Christmas and I have small children. Because of this payment that I made to this company of $980, I am negative in my checking account and don?t get paid until the end of the month. After paying the extra $250 to only receive a whole payment of $5000 since they have 450 already of my money, I get a call from Greendot Money Pak (Foreigner) from 916-222-7102 stating that my moneypak was not able to process because their system was down and they would need to send me my money back along with $100 for in any convenience they caused along with the card charge of $4.95. They said that it would take 24 to 72 hours to return to my account. He gave me a confirmation #MN1295621842. I called Robert back at Lending Club to tell them about my card issue. He asked right when I called, did you get your money? I said no because accounting had not called me like he said to confirm my western union tracking number. He checked my account and he said aah I see your card did not go through. I told him that I wanted my money back now in banking account. He said that they could not do that, that it would take 28 days to receive a check in the mail. He stated that customers have been having issues with their cards that they purchased from CVS. I asked then why did you have me to purchase mine from there knowing that the cards were not working. I disagree to this and feel that I have been scammed. I have contacted GreenDot Money Pak Company and filed a scam. I have also contacted the company Lending Club and sent them a copy of this letter to eric@lendingclub.com. It doesn?t seem like anyone is trying to do anything for me. I am out of $980 that was supposed to been for Christmas presents.

Robert Coston got the wrong person. He had no idea I have connections with the Feds and that whole operation is going down! Keep the complaints rolling in!

Scam! Scam!  It was horrible 190.00 dollars is what they got from me using a moneypak card.  Saying it was insurance coverage for a loan they were letting me borrow.  Caller identified himself as Robert Carlson.  It was fraud.  Used another company name.  Which in fact was a legitimate company out San Francisco.  Reported incident to real company for getting my money back which I sent to company .  Person, by the name of Simon from The Lending Company stated that they have no by that name that worked there then he said," I apologize but, the person you said called you was that of someone who scammed you for your money.
