Like a dummy I feel for a Loan Scam. I searched the internet for a loan company that works with people with bad credit. I have bad credit, not no credit but bad credit. So I found this listing on google and checked them out. I did all the leg work up front before filling out any forms online. I check the BBB and searched this site and many others like it for anything saying that it was a scam. I found nothing so I contacted them. I filled out the basic form online and in a few days man named Jason Taylor called back and said that he would email me a form that needed to be faxed back to him. I got the form and again it looked like a legit loan form. I filled the form out and sent it with the other documents that I know are needed from getting loans at other places. Pay stubs and Drivers License. I was told that because my credit was so low that I would need to place a security deposit with the company so that they could secure the loan for me. Since everything was going smoothly at this and I really needed the cash I got together the $750 dollar deposit and sent it too them. I sent it to their main loan officer in their NY City Branch Frank Johnson. After this I heard from Jason Taylor one more time tell me that the loan funds would be deposited into my bank account within 24-48hrs. Well nothing was put into the account, but money was taken out of the account. I am now have two police reports open with the Local Pittsburgh Police and started the steps get get a new SSN as well as passport and Drivers license. Please do not fall for this scam as I did.
One a bright note if you read this and have fallen for the scam. Call there number, press * and enter 1111. I am a computer guy and have worked with phone system in the past. This will get you into their VM system. If you work your way around you can get the Cell Phone number that the calls to the 800 number get routed too. It is a 416 number which is Toronto, Ontario, Canada area code. Hope this helps you in anyway.
