We've all seen the spam, it's impossible to miss. Some [supposed] gal named Clara gets on our forum and spews dozens of spam messages advertising easy loans at fantastic terms all over the place. For the minority of DebtCC users who haven't seen these messages, they look like this:

I posted this thread on the DebtCC 'Getting a Loan' board earlier this month, using humor to point up the scam behind the spam. Folks, there is real danger in this. Please don't fall for the come-on.

I've been sayin' for some time now that I was gonna apply for one of these easy loans that Miss Clara Jones keeps spamming us about. Well, the other day, I got some free time and.....

I sent this 'agency that is not a scam' the following email inquiry. This really is completely bogus, BTW. I used a disposable email address for this, I haven't got any medical bills, and I sure as hell haven't got any intention to take out a loan from these scammers. I just want to expose what's really going on here.

My [totally bogus] inquiry:

Investigating the first few hits on Google, I find several references to the Globaly Aquinted Loan Org and/or Thomas Hanks asking for an advance fee of $90 or more to process the [supposed] loan. Another red flag, in case anybody's wondering.

I cant believe I almost Fell for this crap. I will tell you what happend to me with this man called Mr. Thomas Hanks. he found me on the yahoo messenger and asked me if I was still going to get this loan and I said well I was still looking into it and told him that I couldnt find them in the BBB and he got real defenceive about it. saying well you can find another loan company but if you get taken dont come back to me and I ask him where to find their website and he said you can get to it right on it is under con. RIGHT< he even sent me so called copys of there awards if anyone wants to see them just let me know and I will send them a copy. one even says that they are with the US and it states that on the paper. but one other thing he said he was from the UK well then why does it say in one profile that I read that he lives in Calf. I kinda Embarassed

to say anything but if it will help someone not to use them then I will be just Embarassed

becaue if your like me you cant aford to lose 250.00 that is what it was going to cost me. I just think the Good Lord that someone out there did alittle research and put in on the net. about what to look for and all.... THANK you for posting what you have and maybe it will stop someone from doing this.
