Legitimate, I thought so, as they did not contact me @ first. I had applied on line after looking through many web sites. I was accepted for a loan of $20,000.00 but because of my credit history they needed $1000.00 for the lender to guarantee the loan. I looked at the better business bureau and no reports. So I too, borrowed the money and had it sent via money gram to the states.
The next morning the lovely Debra King, called and said that they had had some money ripped off the night before and that the lender wanted more money to secure. I was not impressed and then the red flags went up! I stated that I did not want to continue with this loan and that I wanted the money in my bank asap! A couple days later I actually phoned the chamber of commerce in Carbondale, there is no such address! Surprise, Surprise...
This was January 29 and to date I have not seen my $1000.00, for at least 2 weeks after the above date I phoned daily, hourly, nothing nobody picked up or returned my call. Finally, too my surprise, I actually got ahold of a live person. I spoke to the manager Rodney (a woman) she gave me a reference # and told me that the lender was sending my funds via mail back to me. This was 3 weeks ago and still no check, I have called more times then I can list and I fax them everyday @ 4pm, this morning I have called 10 times... Live and learn I guess, but I am Irish and don't give up easily.
I will haunt them forever!!! Please beware Cdns and Americans!!!
