Received a text message from 815-867-5430 saying that my loan application had been approved. I called the number back because I actually had applied for a small loan. But as soon as I talked to the person I knew it had to be some type of scam. The agent who identified himself as Kevin said that I was approved for a loan but my credit score was too low. In order to raise my credit score I had to give him my bank routing number and account number and my mobile login information so that he could deposit a check and I could raise my credit score by paying back the amount of the check. Of course at this point I told him where he could jump off and hung up on him. No legit business will ask for your personal banking information and if my credit score was too low for me to be approved for a loan why would they deposit a check into my account? It's so ridiculous the scams ppl try and that one is so foolish it's an insult to anyone's intelligence!
