Complaint 99994 Details

I received a call from Fast Cash America this morning. I had recently applied for a cash advance payday loan and they said that I was approved for $2000. They are saying that they only fund through GE Bank which is associated with Walmart Money Card. I was told to buy two separate cards, but not to activate them before they fund the cards ($1000 each) with the loan money; this was suppose to be for my protection so that no one else could use the card. They said that after 60 to 90 minutes they would send me a text which would tell me that the $2000 loan money had been loaded. After the 90 minutes had expired and I didn't recieve the text, I called and spoke with a Harry Raymond who said that the money had been loaded, to activate the card and pay an additional $100 to access the $2000. I was to purchase another Walmart Money card and load an additional $100 to receive the pin number to access the cash. I got suspicious and tried to activate the two cards ($20 each) that I originally purchased. When I tried to activate the cards, both cards had already been activated and the money of $20 had been removed. Upon calling the alledged company back, they denied removing the money. They indicated that the cash was merely on hold until I paid the $100 and would be released upon accessing my loan cash. I spoke with the following names of this company: Harry, Hosea, James, and Kevin. The phone number is: 813-398-0314. I called the Walmart Money Card 1-877-937-4098 to try and retrieve my money. But I was told that the money was taken because I provided them with the card number. I did provide them with the card number, but this was prior to activating the card. No one was suppose to be able to activate the card without the receipt and the card package, but that wasn't the case. Fast Cash America people were able to take my money off of the card without me activating the card. Please don't be a victim of this company. Beware!!! They are truly scammers and they are all foreigners with strong Asian/Indian accents.
