Loan Scam
I first reply to a whatsapp. The loan seems simple enough- 10K loan and a repayment of $450 per month. Like a fool i forwarded the requireD documentS - IC BACK AND FRONT, passport ID, BANK ACCOUNT DETAIL AND NEXT OF KIN CONTACT. Jeff, the man on the phone, said company will transfer $500 and I have To do an $800 transfer - to ensure smooth transaction between myself and co & to show that I have $ to pay. That was the start of me wanting to cancel. Then I ask for some form of Id, which i did not get. That was when I knew it was a scam. I cancelled my request. Again and again. Jeff ignored my request and proceeded to transger the $500. Shocked, i made a police report. Went to my baNk to return the money to the above sender. Everything is in process as I am typing this!!

They will ask you to do a direct transfer saying it is faster. Dont. Let the bank handle this.

I hope They will not disturb me ever again. Please, never send your private info over the phone!!! Now they have my address.

i have alerted my home security people at the guardhouse and hook up with the police for Security. My neighbours roughly know the Situation and are on alert. Thank goD we look out for one ANother here. I have camera placed where i need to, connected to an alarm. At the press of a button and help is on its way, the first person being all your next door neighbours. They are the most important people aT time like this. I pray for my family’s safety....down the drain goes my peace.

Please, avoid them at all cost.
