Yup they sure are scammers; my husband did what they wanted them to do and they had him buy google play cards for idk for what reasons, but they sure put us in a bad spot and the bank would not help us either; they just said we gave them the information to our account so we are responsible for the balance that went negative on our account.Just because of these a*hole pretending to be Loan people. Thanks for nothing Capital one financial...
