A1 cash advance The vanilla reload network prepaid scam Illinois Internet

Received Email With Letter Of Loan Approval In The Amount Of 5000...With Fee 520. Thought it was not bad. Letter said to call Paul Johnson. Loan manager.  Called and was talking with a man with accent.(but name Paul johnson). Anyways said my loan was approved and to go to war greens I needed to supply him with proof that I'd be able to make monthly payment of 230. He gave me a payment start date. It was very convincing. Said because of my low credit there policy is to verify I have first payment on hand before loan could be directly deposited in to my account.  Assured me that I would not pay anything today. That I'll be strictly verifying cash on hand. Walked into was green and while Paul stayed on phone he instructed me to by a vanilla reload network card. (Not the visa card) but the card used to put money on then transfer to your vanilla visa card at a later time. I loaded it with 230. And asked him where would the money be transferred to as I don't have a vanilla visa card. He then instructed me too read off my pin number which is used to transfer money to the actual vanilla visa debit card.  (Which I didn't have). I caught on and refused to give him the pin. He got upset...said I am wasting his time. I needed to know that I need to give it just for verifying and he was not going to take it out of the card. I said bull crap.  If I gave him the pin number he would of surely downloaded it to his vanilla visa and I would have never seen my money again. To everyone please please don't fall for it. They talk fast and are very demanding. And once I told him off and requested that he no longer call my number. He called me back like 20 times. What loan company does that...scam scam scam.
