A gentleman by the name of Johnathon Fenworth called approving me for a loan of 15,000 at an 8.5% APR. He said since I had poor credit I needed to pay a deposit of 796.77 for insurance as a down payment to secure the loan. He stated he worked for Westney Financial Group and faxed me an official contract with his phone number requesting Direct Deposit info / official government ID card picture / Pay Stub / and proof of an address.
It sounded to good to be true so I hopped online and started jacking around with the internet searching for this company that does not exist. The physical address belongs to the City of Baltimore. I found this site and although the company name did not exist there were numerous complaints with the same customer service number of 888-249-9238 for the same exact lending scam.
Keep your eyes open and stay sharp!
