Someone I know told me if I gave them my bank information they could get me $15,000 and I would not have to pay it back. They said its legal because I would be getting a loan that I would not have to pay back but the only down fall I would have is that I would lose my bank account. I asked them if this would ruin my credit they said no and that I would just not be able to use the bank ever again. It sounds fishy to me and I would love to have the extra money but I feel I am being lied to and possibly scammed. I honestly do not trust it. Its sad how people think they can take adavantage of someone even when you think they are your friend. Its almost like they are a devil in sheeps clothing. I really dont think this is even possible to get free money I would love to think it is but if there was no risk involved why would the bank never work with you again. The story does not add up. if anyone has heard about anything like this please let me know.

Do not trust this offer. It sounds like a scam. No legitimate lenders offer free money, and a bank will not close your account without a serious reason. Do not provide your banking information and do not interact with people you do not trust.

If it sounds too good to be true, then it is most probably a scam, Getting quick money schemes are usually scams in our area. In this money-ruled world, quick money is what some people aspire for. Your question is legitimate. Why would the bank never work with you again unless you left a bad record? It means your account would be used illegally. I once had a friend scammed of his money because someone said they pay him P10,000 pesos in advance for his artwork that has never sold, and that they will pay another P10,000 when his artwork sells. But he has to give his personal data and bank account because the money will be deposited in his account. It turns out, they used his credentials, bank account, and IDs to obtain a 50,000 loan in his name, He was so happy when he saw the promised P10L deposited in his account that he trusted the person, Only to find out a month later that he has to pay 50K plus interest to the lending company.. The person who took his money disappeared into thin air.
