I saw an ad in the paper offering assistance in getting a loan for persons wanting to start their own business.
I called 647-834-5998 and spoke with Kenneth Anderson. He gave me all kinds of information and then faxed me the loan paperwork. He called me back later to tell me that I had been approved for a $100,000.00 business loan. He faxed me all of the paperwork stating that my loan payments would be $1089.14 per month. I arranged everything I needed to start my business.
I was told to wire him money via Western Union. I sent him money on 8/12 and was told the money would be in my account by the next day. I called him the next day when the money had NOT shown up. There was a problem with the wire tranfer and I had to get it fixed (the attendent had put in the wrong amount). Kenneth said that because of this mix-up the bank was leary of giving me the money without more of a security deposit. I wired him additional money on 8/13.
Today is 8/15, I have no money in my account and am out $5747.00! When my phone calls yesterday and today were not returned I did some searching on the internet and found this web page with all kinds of info about the scam I was just taken by.
Lesson learned: if it sounds too good to be true - that is because it is!
