A Jason Smith (with heavy Asian accent) convinced me that I would get a $1,000 loan repayable in 6 months at $183 per month after I paid "insurance" and 'security' for my poor credit score plus $250 for Western Union transmission from them to me. After 3 days of my proving good faith and forking over $527, he and his associate in San Francisco, CA named Marcus Brown pretended to send me the money including the good faith funds plus a bonus $100 for the inconvenience, still no loan nor the refund promised for the upfront fees.

Their number is 415.234.3649 and mine is 843.615.3155. Please help me recover as I know they are sticking it to countless others this holiday season and I will be contacting the BBB and the FTC.

Any suggestions for other recovery vehicles? PLEASE RESPOND TO MY NUMBER ABOVE!!!

Reason of review: Order processing issue.

No offense meant, but no matter what may be wrong with Lending Club, no REAL company would ask you to purchase itune cards or wire money via Western Union. It just seems to be such an outrageously, blatant 'sirens blaring' 'red lights flashing' and obvious thing to detect, that you are being scammed and not actually dealing with Lending Club.

I am sorry it happened to you, but the level of gullibility is mind boggling.

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

I recently went through the EXACT same thing a couple of days ago. They bragged me into buying these iTunes cards and giving them the numbers and they were promising me they were going to give all of my money back and the loan into my account I just knew it was too good to be true!

It just makes it hard to even trust anyone from online now. Never ever getting a loan online again! These people are rip offs.

If they are scams I'm still wondering how did they get all of my information from the website I applied on? The lending club is full of *** and scammers!!!
