Advance Fee loan ripoff artists

I received an email from CLG stating that they gave loans to people with less than stellar credit. I applied and recieved an email stating their terms and since I agreed with the terms I sent an email back stating that fact. Contract.

I was then put in touch with a loan officer by the name of Lisa Collins, who sent me a contract.in the contract it stated that since I had a prior bankruptcy I had to make the first 7 months payments in advance for a total of 1050.00. I scraped up the money and sent it Western Union as instructed.

The day the money was supposed to be wired into my bank account I recieved a call from a Brian Gallagher, a supposed manager and was informed that the lender reviewed my credit report and my credit was worse than he thought and he wanted another 1050.00 before he would fund my loan.

At that point I was desperate and asked what kind of gaurantee I would have if I sent the additional money. I recieved a statement gauranteeing the money would be deposited in my account upon reciept of the additional 1050.00. I did not send the additional money and instead requested a refund.

I was told that the lender had 30 business days to refund my initial payment. The 30 business days will be up next week. I am not really counting on receiving the money back.

Once I requested a refund my phone number was blocked from their system and I have been unable to contact them by phone. I sent an email and it was returned by them stating the mailbox was full. I sent another one today stating that if I did not recieve the refund as promised in the contract, I was going to file an internet fraud case with the FBI.

I have also researched them on the Better Business Bureau and at the time I applied for my loan there was no report but now there is a report on them dated May. I also filed a complaint with the BBB against them. They are not and never have been located at the address that is on their website.

If you check with the BBB you can find a phone number to contact the RCMP to file a fraud complaint against them up there too, since that is where I sent the original 1050.00. I still have all the emails that went between myself and them and would love to have an attorney or someone help me in persuing this matter and prosecuting these scumbags to the fullest extent of the law.
