Our credit is bad, so we were trying to get a home loan. Where we live there aren't very many jobs and we were getting behind with everything. We found a home in N.C., it was a foreclosure and it was a very good deal. After thinking about it we decided to try to get a loan and move. My husband and I aren't very good with computers and we weren't aware of all the scams on the internet. A guy called and said my husband had been approved for the loan but we needed to send $1900.00 to cover insurance on the loan DUH! We were so excited that we could move and start a life in N.C. We should have seen the red flags because they were there but we did it anyway. The instructions we were given should have for sure made us stop and realize we were being screwed over but, yes, we did what he said to doWe were told to Western Union in the amount of $700.00 to 2 different people, Tim White and Tony Flooring. Then he said he had under estimated and we needed to send $500.00 more. And believe it or not, we did it. Once we did that he would deposit the loan amount in the bank. Of course it never happenedDUH again! I have called the SOB alot and he answers the phone and he says he doesn't know me. The only way these kind of people keep doing this is because we keep letting them. I have filed every kind of report there is. He didn't take my money, I gave it to him, my ignorance of online fraud. We are in our 50's and now we may lose everything we have because we are even further behind
