July 20 - I believe to have been conned by the business know as ALTIMAX FINANCIAL, supposedly doing business out of Atlanta, GA. How suprised I was by finding out that I was 'approved' for a $5000.00 loan. I called the number (888.690.9865) was spoke to a 'Todd Stover' (ext 4617) and he said in order to 'secure' the loan I had to Western Union $800.00 (16% collateral) to them. Would you believe I even asked people I had no business asking to secure this payment.
I was then told to wire the money to 'Shawn Barnett' in Northyork Ontaria Canada. After that I was promised by Mr. Stover that the money plus the WU fee would be in my account the following Monday, Of course it wasn't. I called their customer service to find out that they need another 16% to cover the insurance policy (for high riskers like myself). Again I wired (second time) to the same 'Shawn Barnett'.
I must have been dumb as h& because I waa awaiting for the money to come in, after calling numerous times, 'Russ' the CS supervisor offered to overnight the check (which I blindly agreed). Another Monday came (no check) I called and came to find out that they needed (for whatever reason) another $200.00 for release. I requested a refund (we're at 1734.00 plus $200) and to this date no sign of refund.
I called both CS and Mr. Stover's ext and they divert to the message machine. I do a WHOIS on the fake a— website and it comes up private, which the domain guy says requires a COURT ORDER. Still, I aim to get these guys! No matter how long it takes!
