I applied for a personal loan online and was contacted by this company. I was approved and needed only to send $1533.64 for the full loan amount of $15,000 to be deposited into my bank account within 24 hours.
I had several questions and was continually given the run around. I was unable to deduct the loan fees from the loan amount-the "security fee" could only be accepted through Money Gram.
When re-reading the loan documents (that looked very legitimate and even suggested having them looked at by an attorney), I noticed a portion that said not to fill out bank information, becuase you might decide to accept a certified check instead. This seemed a little strange, also at this point, no one had asked for my banking information (thank heavens!) When I asked questions, I was told the money needed to be wired b/c they would first have to set up a debit with my bank before taking out any money and that would take more time.
Luckily, about 15 minutes before I sent them all the money I could gather up, I checked online one last time and saw information from someone who had lost $900 to the company. Thank you for this service and whatever you do—DO NOT WIRE MONEY TO A COMPANY TO RECEIVE A LOAN.
