Advance fee loan scam ripoff maine

I know, personally, that they are a business scam.

I spoke with a "Doug Baker x. 249" and also a "Jason" in "personnell". I was in the process of getting a "loan" for $5,000. I was faxed a false document from the above company. I was first told to wire $700.00, then another $700.00, a total of $1400.00, to cover an entire year of no payments.

The money was wired to Winnipeg Manitoba Canada, attention Tracy Danron. I was then told that there was a problem with the lenders and if I wanted a $10,000 loan I could send an additional $700.00. I then said to forget the whole thing and send me my money back. "Doug" said it would take a week and it would be in my bank account 6/26/06.

It obviously wasn't and I haven't been able to get through to the phone numbers: one # says "this account is suspended" and doesn't go through and the other # gives several option but never connects to an actual extension or person.

When I called information, there was no such company, nor the phone # stated on the false document was not correct for this address. Once we realized it was a scam, I searched online and found several people were scammed by this same exact company name.
