I was looking online for consolidation loans so that I could get all my bills consolidated into one loan. I couldn't remember every where I had looked or put my information but then one day this Shelly Vinmore called me from Bremco Capital telling me I had been approved for a $8000.00 loan with a 9% interest rate. All I needed to do to get the loan was sign some paper work.
The next day she faxed me the paperwork that needed filled out then I found out that I had to put down an "insurance premium" of 1017.60. I called Ms. Vinmore back and was told this amount of money would be refunded to me in 60 days or could be applied to my loan. I was reassured several times by Ms. Vinmore that this was not a scam and that it was the real deal. Was also told that I would be refunded the money that I had to pay out to send the Western Union. The person I sent the money to on Western Union was Elizabeth Merola in Canada. I was told the money would be in my bank on Monday morning. I checked and checked and the money never showed up.
I called Ms. Vinmore back and she said she'd have to check on it. She did call me back and said the lender did another credit check and I needed to come up with another $700.00 and the money would be in my bank within 2 hours. Needless to say I was furious and told her no, that I wanted a refund. She told me it would take 15-30 business days to get my refund. Today is the 19th business day. I have tried to call and the 2 numbers that I have are not in service. 866-527-7057 and 866-334-3744, I have tried faxing to the fax number I have and that's how I got her to respond the last time.
I am in a huge financial mess now because like other reports I had to borrow the money from a family member to cover the "insurance premium" and never received the money back. Does anyone know anything that we can do to stop these people or people like them? I don't know if contacting a lawyer would help because the numbers get disconnected and I know the address listed isn't correct because I called the building manager of that address and there is not a company by that name listed there.
