I had applied for a a high risk loan on the web site of prioritylending.com - my husband and I are rebuilding our credit and could not get a conventional loan. We are foster parents/adoptive parents and most banks do not view our fostering subsidy as income. We have adopted a son that has started experiencing some severe mental illness and needs a test which was going to cost 3,000 to 4,000 dollars and the insurance would not cover it so we applied for the loan to pay for the testing.
I received a phone call from an Angela Bennett with Priority Lending who stated that I had been approved for a 10,000.00 loan. I thought it was a godsend. She faxed me documents to sign along with an insurance policy - all of it looked in order (I had worked for attorneys for 10 years) even had my ex-husband who works internet fraud for the Sheriff's Dept. Look at the website - he thought it looked official - called the BBB and it all seemed in order.
She told me that I had to either have a co-signer or sicne I was considered self-employed an insurance policy up front. Needless to say - I fell for it - I was so desperate to get the money and to give us some breathing room - my husband owns his own company and has had to miss so much work due to having to be home to control our adoptive son.
Anyway - like an idoit - I sent the money 1,800.00 Western Union and of course the monies did not go in. Have left repeated phone messages and no answer. Thank God, my bank, has fraud protection and I was able to file a claim but I still had to close my bank account because they have my banking information.
It makes me sick after reading all of the reports - so many people have lost so much - they prey on people that for whatever reason need a loan. I have been sick for days and took the last monies that we had out of savings to obtain the loan. I am going to report this company to anyone that I can - I don't want anyone to go through what we have over the past 4 days.
I left a message for Ms. Bennett and told her that as a christian I had to forgive her and that I hoped that she enjoyed money that she took from my foster children and my adoptive children and that I felt sorry for her - that someday she is going to answer to a higher power and that I hope that she enjoys burning in hell. Please everyone be aware of these people. When it seems to good to be true - it usually is.
