A 52-year old Murfreesboro woman fell victim to what is believed to be a loan scam over the internet. The victim finally called the police after she paid the company over $800.

The scam started when the victim received an email in regards to low interest cash loan rates. The woman contacted the company and was told to send them several "Money Grams" to prove that she would be able to make future payments.

A man by the name of Chris Rogers told the female that the future payments would be returned after the loan was approved. Without further questions, the victim made numerous trips to local Dollar General Stores and obtained multiple Money Grams totaling $857.75. She then sent the Money Grams to the company that is called Cash Net USA, according to the police report.

So far, the woman has not received any of the cash back nor has she received a loan.
