I received a phone call from 646-536-9090 on my phone today. I was not answered because no one was here. They left a message on my answering machine. First off the lady, Rebecca, did not say her last name. She said she was from york lending and her call was regarding the approval of an 8000.00 loan for me. Then she asked for me to please call her back at 1800963? 717- she mumbled the number so i could not hear on of the numbers she said.
I got online to look up the company and there is no such company as york lending. So I looked up the number that they called me from and I found this page. I tried to call that number back and just got a loud buzzing sound. So then I guessed on the one missing number and called 1-800-963-9717 It took me to an automated system saying I had reached York Land Lending and to enter my parties extension which was 115 so I did only it didn't take me to Rebecca it took me to account services department and no one would answer.
This is a Scam the only reason I called them back was to see if I could get some more information on them. At first I believed that it was real, Thanx to the internet I was not scammed. You should always look up a company and the phone number they called from before you do anything with the company.
Ask them for there location, and a business number if they cant or wont give it to you they are not legit, but even if they do take caution and NEVER I repeat NEVER send money as collateral or "insurance" (especially if they want you to send it through paypal or western union) if they need that they can take it out of the loan. Never give out bank account numbers so they can deposit it into your account, make them send a check and before you have the check cashed or deposited talk to a banker and reaserch the company as much as possible. And Finally, if it doesn't feel right, or something seems fishy about it don't do it usually your gut feeling is always right.
