I got my new phone number a few weeks ago, and mere hours after it was activated, I got my first call. Every time it's from the same area code, 502. but the last 7 digits change, so I can't simply block it. I called through to the "business loan team" and told them to stop calling and I would file harrassment charges with the police". they hung up immediately. The initial caller is an Ai generated voice that always says "My name is Anthony Schmidt. I am the senior loan specialist in working on your $250,000 business line of credit approval. You can reach me or our underwriting department directly at 855-357-2016 or you can press one now to speak to our business funding team." The call center sounds like a very busy call center and the agents always have a deep Indian accent. [BBB Scam Type: Phishing] [Business: Unknown] [Location: AL, USA - 35206]

Constantly calls three four times a week. Leaves 2-minute voicemails of a recorded message. The phone number is always different on caller ID but they leave this 855-357-2016 to contact them back. I contacted them back several times to Remove my number because I'm on the do Not contact list. [BBB Scam Type: Advance Fee Loan] [Business: Business loan department] [Location: AZ, USA - 85020]

You get a recorded message that directs you to press a number to get approval for your loan. “ My name is Anthony Schmidt. I am the senior loan specialist and working on your $250,000 business line of credit approval. You can reach me or our underwriting department directly at 855-357-2016. Or you can press one now to speak to our business funding team.” A real person comes on the line but quickly figures out I know it’s a scam.

Caller with this name continues to call multiple times daily from multiple numbers with this message: My name is Anthony Schmidt. I am the senior loan specialist in working on your $250,000 business line of credit approval. You can reach me or our underwrite department directly at 855-357-2016. Or you can press one now to speak to our business funding team. Based on the underwriting notes and your strong track record with your existing loan. It looks like we may actually be able to renew your loan for a higher amount. At this point, we're just pending revenue verification to activate your line of credit. And we need your updated revenue for the past 3 months. Again, to speak to the underwriting and to finalize your funding press one now. Um, once we speak, we should be able to move forward with the next steps. I have NEVER inquired about a loan and have blocked each number but they continue to call from new numbers. This needs to stop!!!! [BBB Scam Type: Phishing] [Business: Anthony Schmidt] [Location: NE, USA - 68652]
