Hey, Here in New York, I discovered a man using his company account to make loans on Craigslist. I requested $3,500, and he emailed me a brief loan agreement that I needed to sign. Although he claims to work in real estate, he does not seem like the type (his accent is somewhat ghetto).
He claims that it will take two to twelve hours to process, that he wants to meet with me, physically take my debit card, and use it to make an ACH wire transfer. He claims that no ATM transaction is necessary to complete the transaction.
Do you guys see any warning signs here?

NO NO NO - unless you want to wind up even more broke, defrauded, and dead.

You are going to hand your debit card to a stranger. Why would that be useful to you?
How many respectable lenders do you know who operate in that manner?
“This is Ginormous Bank and Trust; how can we help you?”
“A stranger withdrew money out of my account with my debit card.”
“Oh my goodness, that is distressing! How did the stranger get your debit card?”
“I handed it to him.”
“I see. Okay, then. We hope you have a good day and will contact GB&T for future financial needs!”
