Ameritrust Lending Services
Paul Myers, Robert Kelly SCAM LOANS

I applied for a secured personal loan in the amount of $5000.00 online. I recieved a call the next day (I am not sure of the initial contact dates) from Robert Kelly, who told me he worked for Ameritrust Lending
Services in Conneticut. He proceeded to tell me that I had been approved for the loan but becuase it was a secured loan, I needed to secure it with 6 months of payments upfront. Which equals $900.00 ($150.00 a month
were the payments). He urged me to go to Kinko's and have the contract faxed to me so I could look over it. I did and all looked legit. So, my very best friend lent me the money so I could get this loan. So I called
Robert Kelly back and he gave me my options to send the money. Either by Check/money order, EFT or MoneyGram. MoneyGram was the quickest way, So I opted that way (as I was in need of the money). He told me to wire
the money to Carol Scott. The City code was Redwater, the State code was Alberta and the Country code was Canada. I was leary, but realized I had paperwork. So I did it. This all happened on November 7th and 8th,
2007. Friday, November 9th, I called Robert Kelly to ask him where my money was (as it was supposed to be directly deposited into my bank account) and his "boss", Paul Meyers spoke with me telling me that after
another assessment of my credit, the "lender" was asking for a full 12 months of payments upfront. Another $900. After realizing my credit WAS in fact bad, It made sense to me and my best friend, again, lent me money to transfer. Mr Meyers assured me I would have the money on
Monday, November 12th by noon. A little after noon, I contacted him because my money still wasn't there. He told me the lender backed out of the deal, but he could get me a $10,000.00 loan if I just sent another year of payments in. Then I got a little skeptical and did a BBB report and found out this infact was a scam. And now I'm finding other things on the internet about how other people were scammed as well.

If anyone has any input on how to recover my lost funds or how to get these people. PLEASE let me know. $1800.00 is a lot of money to someone like me.
