I was contacted by phone on oct. 16 by a michael adams who said he represented national financial lending inc., this was after I had filled out several loan application online. This michael adams told me I was approved for a loan of 5000.00, and i had to wire a payment of 610.30 to a wendy jones a private lender supposely a angel investor.
So I called the better business bureau in boston and they said they didnt have a report on this company or person, and on oct 31 I had contact with him again, and he told me to send the money western union to wendy jones in north york ontario canada. This up front payment was because I was a high risk and 1st 4 months was to be made up front to secure the loan I was told.
Plus he said he needed a copy of my drivers license, and social security card, which I like a dumb ass suppied, plus he had my bank account info to supposely transfer 5000.00 dollar loan into my account, after I done all this he calleds me back and says I should have my loan in my account in 24 hrs, and give him a courtesy call to let him know all went well.
In the meantime I start to scan internet and I see this thing about advance fee loan scam, it was then I knew I had been taken. Needless to say, I never received money, had my money taken, had to changed my accounts, had alerts put to my credit report and social security number. I have tried to call this guy at number for company and no one answers. I know its useless. I hope this report will help someone else out there. Don't make a bad situation worse like I did.
