I applied for a loan online for people with bad credit. I received a phone call from Ms. Maka Whiteman in July. She states that I was approved for a loan for 6000 at the rate of 9%. She indicated that I would have to secure the loan with 10% percent down (600.00). I requested for her to email me the loans to me before sending the funds. The loan docs appeared to be legitmate so I went ahead and wired the funds to Dane Williams and sent her a copy of my drivers license & bank account information so the loan proceeds could be deposited into my account. I really needed the funds due to a financial situation. I thought this was answer to my prayers. About a week later, I received a call from Mr. Anderson advising me that the loan didn't go thru. The lender decided to back out of the loan due to a discripancy on my credit report. He stated that he would send find another lender. He called me back days later and stated that he found another lender but that lender required more funds because the previous lender declined by loan application. So I sent addtional funds. I called daily to find out about my loan process only to receive blank promises. Mr. Anderson states that in order to have the funds wired into my account. I would have to pay taxes on the money. Oh, by the way when I asked why don't he take the additional funds from the account. He states that they couldn't touch the funds it would have to be delivered in the full amount of the loan requested. Anyway, I requested documentation regarding the border taxes he talked about, he proceeded to fax me the docuemation as I requested. I contacted the embassy of Jamaica in DC to inquiry about the company and border tax division. The rep from the Embassy attempted to investigate my allegations. He even contacted the company also and requested to speak with both parties-Ms. Whiteman and Mr. Anderson. He mentioned that if I sent the money that it would be lost. He wasn't able to verify the address of the Border tax department. I called Mr. Anderson to advise of my findings and requested my money back. He assured me that the money would be refunded within 30 days. I called him in September to confirm and he stated that it would take 30 days to refund my money. As of 10/5, I have yet to receive my refund back. Its is a shame that people are taking advantage of the economic situation. Jamaica has become synonymous with fraud. Maka Whiteman's email address was maka. [email protected] the way the companies phone numbers 877-754-7499 & 876-853-3018 are no longer in service.
