Loan Scam

I received the phone call to my voice mail in September of 2014 about an application I had put in online for a loan. I talked to someone for the first time on 10/01/2014 about being approved for the loan. The gut introduced himself as Sam Wilson, but he had a Pakistan accent. he told me to go to Kroger and purchase a money pak card and load 4110.00 on it. Once I did that, he told me it would take 30 minutes to receive an email with all of the details about the transaction. After the 30 minutes went by, he contacted me again and told me I had to get another money pak card and load $147.00 on it. after doing so, the money would be in my account within 15 minutes. After 20 minutes he called me again and said they could put the money into my account because I have a prepaid checking account. He informed me that he had to get in touch with western union to see if it could be sent through them. After 30 minutes he called me again and told me I had to pay a fee of $178.00 to western union. Like a fool I went and purchased another money pak and loaded the $178.00. He said he had talked to his supervisor Mark Williams, and to western union. He gave me a number to activate the account with western union, and told me I had to do it the next day because the western union he has connections with, was closing. I called him back on 10/02/2014 at 11;45 am only to find out that he told me I now needed an additional $147.00. I then stated to him that this was a scam and I wanted my money back. he told me not to contact him again.
