Jessica Lakeland posted on facebook on the Brown Mackie college page how she works for Vanilla Reload and wanted to know if anyone needed extra money to inbox her. So I inboxd her and she responded saying that if I put $200-$500 on a Vanilla reload card she can add an extra zero or a one to it. All I had to do was put the money on the card and give her the numbers off the back and the money would be added to the card. She also  stated the money could not be stolen like that. After I had notified her that I decided to go do it, she then told me that I need to talk to her boss whose name is Eric. Eric called me several times claiming this was a legit deal and that when they have done it in the pass people have ran off with their cut of the money which was $300 dollars off of every $1000 that you get.

He text me what the cards looked like and where to buy them from. He also show me a reciept of the balance after this transaction had been done. So I belived him and I purchased the vanilla reload card from Walgreens and add $200.00 to the card. He then called me and I gave him the information he need to  change the the balance for $200 to $2000. After I gave him what he need he had me to hold on the phone with him while he processed this information which was only supposed to take 45 mins.  After about an hour he said the money was on the vanilla reload card and that he would then transfer the funds to my prepaid debit card. Eric said he would call me back and let me know when it was available to my account. After waiting for about two hours he text me saying he was still waiting on the card company to verify the information.

So after waiting for so long I called him he would not answer or return my phone calls, he text me claiming that he was talking with his boss and would call me later. He never did so I text him saying if I did not hear from him in the next five mins. I was going to report him. So I called the number on the back of the Vanilla Reload card and found out that he had taken the money off the card and transferred it to an Amex card. I would love to see these two people pay for scamming me and if anyone else need more information on the two criminals I have his phone number which is 708-316-8143 and this is his text address or e-mail ernest119@textnow.me. I hope others will come forth to help stop these two from scamming people because one the operators told me I was not the only one they scammed.

So the scammer got scammed, right?

AUTHOR: FloridaNative - ()

POSTED: Saturday, November 15, 2014

You post this complaint as if you are an innocent bystander when in fact you tried to rip off someone else.

There is no way someone can magically transform $200 on your reloadable card to $2000 without adding the funds directly to your card. So you knew there had to be a scam involved somewhere - you just didn't realize that "Jessica" was going to scam you out of your $200. Use some common sense.

Why would Jessica need your numbers if she wasn't going to take the funds off of your card.

Why would a stranger give you an extra $1800 to do nothing?

There is no other conclusion a reasonable person can come to when asked to participate in a scam. If you look around and don't see the fool, then you are it.
