Total money lost $1,000

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

I needed a small loan of $1000 and had been applying online at different sites for a loan. I applied for so many i lost count. I never got any reply so i moved on. Then i got a phone call saying i had been approved for a $5000 loan. I told the man on the phone i didi not apply for a $5000 loan and only wanted a $1000 loan. We went back and forth and he told me they didnt do small amounts and it would have to be more.

He said he would do me a favor and give me a $3000 loan with a low interest rate. I reluctantly agreed. He then said since he was doing me a favor that i would need to do him a favor. He told me to give him my banking info and he would put $1000 in my bank tonight and that first thing in the morning i needed to go to bank and take it out, go to Walgreens next door and get 3 prepaid gift cards and taje pictures and call him. After i did that the money would be in my account in 15 minutes. I told him that this sounded like a scam. He told me it wasnt and that this is how loans are done in 2019. I reluctantly agreed because i needed the money. As soon as i did it i realized what i had done and it is a scam. I am now out $1000 and this scammer has all of my personal info.
