      I wish I would have read the reviews before trying to do before doing business with them. I became suspicious after I started seeing reversals of legitimate transactions I had previously made, and then them asking me to deposit the money back into some business account. Luckily I have already reported it as fraud and closed that checking account they had access to, and opened a new one

      My account was frozen because of them. Scam. Luckily my bank denied the deposit. I still have to go in and get a new account: I even did research, business license and everything. These guys are getting good. Do not do loans on line go to a local office or your bank.

      They told me I was pre approved for 10K and I needed to fill out this form.

      My first reaction is why do you need my bank account information plus UN and PW.

      I immediately told them no and the guy I was speaking with became irritated with me so I hung up and blocked all their numbers and turned them in as spam.

      Stay far away from this scam.....

      100% Scam!!! I was really desperate because life was kicking my butt and I really needed a loan. I got text from them saying that I was pre-approved and I could get the money in my account in minutes. I called and at first they seemed legit and even gave me a loan Id number. Then they said because my credit was low they would have to do a quick verification transaction. I was so desperate that I gave them my online banking info and they deposited a fake check into my account and that check currently has my account frozen. I learned the hard way but at least I learned. Stay away from then!!

      it's a scam. They send me a loan approval stating I just need to fill out the verification form. The only problem is THEY WON'T PROCESS THE LOAN WITHOUT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT USER ID AND PW. PURE SCAM I GIVE THEM -5 STARS

      This company is shady and refuses to answer for actions.

      Advance America said they'd call to finalize my loan.
      Then they told me that since I use ***** and ******* they can't issue the loan unless I deposit a could hundred into my account first. If I had a couple hundred I wouldn't be asking for a loan.
      Sounds like a scam to me.

      100% SCAM
      MODIS OPERANDI:
      1. Tell you that you are aporoved
      (ask for your Bank Routing number & Account number, which is normal , and leads you believe they need it to deposit the funds)
      2. Tell you to wait for call from (***) Area Code
      3. When you receive the call they email you the loan agreement, tell you to take your time reading it (because it is meaningless because they plan to steal your bank account in the next step.
      4. After you have reviewed the loan document they tell you they will deposit the funds today and your bank will need to verify the receipt of the funds.
      5. In order to do that they then ASK YOU FOR YOUR BANK LOGIN CREDENTIALS (ie: USERNAME & PASSWORD .
      THEY IMMEDIATELY STEAL YOUR ACCOUNT AND LOCK YOU OUT !
