Frank Martin, Quick Cash Loans Loan Fraud Alhambra California

In the last few days, I received a text message on my cell phone that I was already approved (emphasis added) for a loan in the amount of $2000 up to $10000.  Since Christmas was just around the corner, I decided to check it out.

I next received a call from Mr Frank Martin asking me how much I wanted to borrow.  At first I said let's look at $2000.  He asked how many months I wanted to pay it back e.g., 12, 24, 36, etc.  I decided on the maximum allowable months and the payments were reasonable.  I then decided to look at $7,000 and he stated "no problem", and again, with the maximum allowable months, I thought the payments were reasonable.

He next asked for my banking information and I gave it to him.  He asked for my password and I gave it to him.  I never had anyone ever asked me for my password to my account and I thought this was strange first Red Flag).  When I asked him why he needed my password, he indicated he was trying to deposit $7,000 into my account and said I could change my password after the transaction was completed.  As it turned out, he decided not to use my bank account.  My instincts told me that this wasnt right so I did change my password.

He next instructed me to go to a Walmart Store and purchase a Steam card in the amount of $125.00 (second Red Flag).  I never heard of a Steam card before, so I decided to research it on the internet.  From my understanding, the purpose of a Steam card is to put money on it and send it as a gift to someone for the primary purpose of playing some kind of game.  While I may not fully comprehend the Steam card use, it did not make any sense for me to purchase this card to obtain a loan.

I text him back and informed him that I thought it was scam.  He replied "dont tell me it is a scam and the words "FDIC and BBB".  i am not sure what message he was trying to convey, but when I first read the words FDIC and BBB, I assumed he was attempting to say that it was approved by these agencies--I really don't know.  This was my 3rd Red Flag.  His text reply was direct and almost sounded as though he might be upset when I said that I thought it was a hoax or scam.

In conclusion, I know he accessed my Nevada State Bank account and compromised my information by asking for my password. He more than likely, accessed my telephone number from when I previously applied for what is referred to as a "Payday Loan".  Once you apply for this type of loan, it appears that you start getting offers from alot of different loan companies.

I then thought that he never ran a credit check on me and I found that odd.  He immediately said I was approved for $7000 when I asked to increase it from $2000.  (4th Red Flag). I have received many calls and text mesages from this individual.  I have decided against this loan.  I read one other complaint on your website about this individual and concluded that he is, in fact, a scam.
