When this scammer called me she used the name Equity Bank. She told me I had been approved for a loan for $5000. She asked my name and I gave her a fictitious name and address. She immediately looked up my information. I told her I had not applied for a loan and she stated that 6 months ago I had filled out a loan application form and it had just been approved. Wow, what a bank. Six months to approve a loan of that size. I said I would love a loan because I needed to fix my dog. Crickets. I asked her the terms of the loan. She said that didn't matter, she was going to direct deposit the money directly into my bank account and I would find out the terms later. No, really? I told her I wanted to know the terms for a three year pay back. She put me on hold. When she returned she said I had to put $500 down and pay the loan off in three years. Still no terms mentioned. She wanted my bank account number. I gave her a fake bank, address and account number. She put me on hold again and I hung up. Did I mention she had a heavy Indian accent? Surprise! Don't fall for these thieves Be Safe!
