Same thing happend to me, I was looking for a loan. Shortly after I got a call from this number.  He said I needed to wire him 150.00 to secure my account.  When I told him that the BBB told me that at any time that you are receiving a loan, it is illegal to for an entity to require a down payment on a loan.  He then started asking me what numbers have been calling me, I asked him why.  He then told me others are trying to scam people out of their money.  I told him all the other BS numbers that have called me.  He seemed grateful.  I asked him then if I could have a conformation email stating the loans terms and agreement, he said that it was automated and  would not be sent until after the money was wired.  These people suck bad so beware.

I filled out an online loan app n got a call back from this number 8019602571, 8764364847 & 8767969523 telling me my loan request has been approved but I had to show a good faith payment of $200 before they could process my loan. I just googled the phone #'s n found all these scam posts. Thank you all for sharing n keeping people aware of these scam artists.

Seems this guy/number is changing his game.  Just tried to contact me as the business director for my home loan mortgage company, in order to change my payment address and method.  Obviously never tried this scam alot, as he couldnt deal with me the wa a realloan officer should.  WATCH OUT AMERICA!  THIS GUY IS FULL OF MALARKEY!  Will try anything to get more info out of youabout yourself and your accts!  DO NOT TRUST HIM!  I hope the world knows about the capability of scammers, and how to info/protect yoursel on the spot!  This guy is full of red flags, but I would be willing to bet he gets better at his little game

The human behind the phone told me he was a pastor, PASTOR JUSTIN to be exact. He saw my laptop on on craigslist and told me he would send me the money through paypal or via mail and i would be responsible to mail it to his son in AFRICA. okay really, he needs to come up with better lies then that. WHAT A SAD EXCUSS FOR A HUMAN BEING.

Pretty sure he got away with my laptop. It left the US yesterday and apparently USPS cannot do anything about it once it leaves american soil! FML!!!!!!

related to craigslist

Thank you! I almost sent him my iphone. He sent me the exact same text. He kept asking for my paypal email and I thought it was odd that he wasnt in the state I was selling it in.

He tried to scam me out of an iphone too. Sent me a fake paypal email saying the payment was made. I called paypal & they said it was a scam.

This scammer is at it again!  Just txted that he's interested in my ipad..."Hi I am interested in buying your ipad.  Please let me know if it is still available and also your firm price Thanks."
