I filled out a loan application online at scotiacapitalinvest.com. I was contacted by a loan rep named McKenzie. She told me that I was approved for a loan in the amount of $5000.00. I really did not want to take a loan out for that large of an amount but she said that was the minimum amount that they loaned. I was very happy that I was approved for this loan; it would make for a happy Christmas for my family of five and pay for some dental work that my son needs to have done.
McKenzie told me that because of my poor credit I would need to send Scotia Capital Investment $890.00 to cover the 4 months of my payments (security for them). She told me as soon as I wired it to them I would receive my $5000.00 directly transferred into my checking account.
I immediately wired the $890.00 dollars (it was all I had) expecting to receive $5000.00 1 hr later. Well 5hrs passed and I was still waiting for my loan. I called the company the next day to inform them that I have been checking my checking account and the 5000.00 has not been transferred. They told me that the reason they had not wired my money was because they further reviewed my credit and need me to send an additional $499.00 for insurance once they received the $499.00 the $5000.00 will be wired to my checking account. My credit is not that poor, I mean really!
That's when I knew I had fallen into a scam, I told them I did not want the loan and would like a full refund ASAP. Every time I call to inquire where is my refund? They are very rude and hang up on me. One man made is voice sound like a monster from a horror film and said "is this that devil girl that keeps calling wanting refund? I knew I was dealing with people that are immoral and criminal minded. He was trying to frighten me and he did. This is a terrible fraud that these folks are running. And I pray that they are caught before they take from $ any other familys
