Description

I applied through different loan servers online. Email from Michael Kennedy at The lending club. They sent an approval letter for $8000 dollars. I filled out the information and sent it to them. The information included my personal banking information, birthdates, and social security information. They then contacted me by phone, a professional sounding man with a mild accent went through the process, the number used was (240) 324-8476. He accessed my accounts and would deposit $1000 dollars into my account to see if everything was working properly. Due to my score he was trying to boost my credit my depositing and then pay back the money and they would report it to the credit bureau. He had me do that four times. I was able to get into my account and noticed money from 3 different were transferred to my account and then removed through cash app processing. Total removed was 4,946 or roughly $5,000. I was told no other accounts would have been touched by this process.
