Donation protected
Sorry English is my second language.
Last month I decide to apply to online consolidation loan. I got aprove by company call GE Money and received a call from them. The company requested my credit card information and bank account. I was confuse why they wont deposit the payment in my check account so I can paid the card myself and they told me in past people do not use the money for that and is required by federal standards for them to paid the card themselves. On Wednesday before Thanksgiving they actually paid all my cards. So far things good in my end. Then the scam started. They request 30% of the payment back because they did the payment for credit score to improve so the loan will aprove. They requested for me to purchase gift cards using one of the cards because I did not have the money. I did the purchase for 1000.00. Next day they they keep asking for more and told them the payment has not clear and wont clear until Tuesday. The person who use the name of Oscar Mendez end up cleaning my checking account and purchasing 1600 in another card without my autorization. Chase cover some auto debits for me but I also now I have the accout negative. Also all the payment got to my cards got return. As the return of the card payment all credit has been freeze and I not have any money to cover my bills and I am now two motnh behind in rent and bills. I also cannot paid my art show fees for the follow winter months. As I file a police report the people keep calling telling me that will refund the money and not file a police report. I did file the police report.
At this point since my income come from me doing art fairs and saling my art work and not having income to cover the fees and my current bills I am reduce beg for help because I am about to become homeless. My family do not have the money to help me at this point neither.
