I wish I would have the report filed yesterday would have been posted on this site three days ago. I too was contacted by Stephanie Barley and was informed I was approved for a 10.000 loan. The terms of the loan was that, in order for me to receive the funds I had to pay an insurance collateral of 1550. I informed Stephanie that I could pay that amount all at once and she replied that if I could pay half of that amount then the funds would be released. I was faxed a contract which signed and returned via fax with the requested information. I was informed by Stephanie that I would have the funds deposited into my account once they received the collateral payment. I asked her to email the method of payment I was to use to send the money, she stated that if I had a pen she could tell me right then. That should have been a red flag right here. Well, I informed her that I did not have a pen and she stated that to call her once I got back to my desk since I was at work on my lunch break, and she would supply me with info.
Well, I contacted her back and she informed me to send the $775 via Western Union payable to Diana Grant in Victoria British Columbia, Canada, and then call her back with the MTCN at which time she would submit the request to have the funds released. Now granted I did research the company prior to sending these funds but apparently not good enough. I checked on this site for any rip Off reports as well as with BBB website.
Well, to make a long story short, I sent the funds via Western union and supplied Stephanie with MTCN number. She informed be that the funds would be in my account within 24 hours. The day I receive a call from Stephanie informing be that the lender is requesting the second half of the so call collateral insurance before they can released the funds. At which point I informed her to just send me my funds back, she stated that she would submit a request to have my funds refunded which would be done on Monday and that I should receive my refund by Friday of next week. I don't think this will happen and I filed a report with Western Union fraud department as well as my local police department. If anyone who reads this, do not fall victim to these piranha's who prey on people in financial need.
