On November 5, 2025, at approximately 9:30 a.m., a complainant reported a fraud incident at the Crossville Police Department lobby.

Subsequently, five automatic withdrawals of $132.98 each occurred on August 20, September 3, September 17, October 1, and October 15, 2025, totaling $664.90. The complainant stated she never applied for a loan with the company or authorized any payments, resulting in a net loss of $164.90.
