– An 82-year-old Butler Township man reported Thursday he and his wife answered an ad about a personal loan from Membersacc.usa.com and called to apply for a $10,000 loan. The representative told them the couple would need to provide them with the first three months worth of loan payments in advance before the money could be released, so they sent them a check for $811. When the money was not transferred to their bank account, the couple called and another representative who told them $436 was needed to cover the cost of additional paperwork to clear up a glitch that was preventing the loan from going forward. The couple sent the $436 but still did not receive the loan and made more phone calls to other representatives but have yet to receive the loan. The couple was told to contact the attorney general’s office since they could be victims of identity theft after having provided personal identifier information along with their bank account numbers.
