I too just got a call saying that I was approved for 3000 dollars. Sounds like the same thing happened to me.
We're sorry this happened to you and encourage you to report this to authorities, as it appears you were the victim of an ongoing scheme where the Lending Club name is used by fraudsters. We became aware of this scheme several months ago and immediately met with the United States Secret Service, as well as filed complaints with the FBI and FTC (FBI Complaint Id: I1309251131004212, FTC Complaint Id: 48697737).
We encourage you to add your voice to these complaints to try to prevent this happening to others in the future. Although we're unsure how the fraudsters became aware of you, what we've seen in the past is that they contact the victim using the Lending Club name or a variation of Lending Club. Funds are usually transferred to the fraudsters through the use of a Green Dot or Vanilla Visa card (or similar device), companies with whom Lending Club has no relationship and were not affiliated with Lending Club.
The money you sent wasn't sent to Lending Club but likely was delivered directly to the fraudsters. --Lending Club
