I keep getting a call from this number and the caller identifies himself as "Eric" from GE capital bank, and says that I have been approved for a loan, but I need to first go to Walmart and purchase a 160.00 Green Dot card and call him back and provide him with the information from the card, and that I will have my funds deposited into my account within the half hour. It sounded like a scam, so I have not returned any calls, and he calls practically every day. Is this a scam or not? I never knew that you had to pay an upfront fee to be approved for a loan, or is this something new these days? Please advise.

I have received calls from this number too.  I was called and told that I was approved for 3000 but if I needed more he can hep me get more.  That was the first odd thing I found.  Than I was told to go to a CVS walgreens or walmart and called the from there.  The guy that call was very persistant.  I pretended I wa there and called them back and asked what i needed to do.  I was told to get a one vanilla prepaid card for 300 and onced vrified I would have the money within 10-15 minutes the most.  Then i can go back and withdrwal the money from the ATM. I was even given a confirmation number for the loan as I was approved.  i have called GE capital bank and was told that they do not do personal loans and that the number this call s coming from is not their number. I was told that they only service private lebal cards.  So it is a scam.  be careful with this callers.

I keep getting a call from a guy that says he's from ge bank and wants to give me a loan. I inform him I do not need nor want a loan I ask to be removed from the calling list and not to call my phone again. he calls right back I again state I do not want a loan and hang up. within 20 min he has called me 20 times. this is an every day thing.

I have received calls from this number as well saying they are from GE bank with a loan approval. I told them to stop calling and they continue.
