Well I was looking to get a personal student loan for my semester in college, I already had a grant but being a teenage mother of I wanted to make sure I had everything covered when I started college In January. I went to the Sally Mae website (which is a reputably known student loan website) but the people from Westchester Equity Group contacted me, his Name was Noah Higgins. He contacted me on November 23 and said that I was approved for a loan but I would need $628 down and the $5000 I applied for would be deposited in my account the next business morning. The $628 has to be wired western union. I called my mother who automatically said that that don't sound right, why you be asking for a loan if you already have money but my mom and dad went along with it, she too talked to Noah Higgins and it sounded like a bit of a stretch. Well I need to tell you my mom and dad are truck drivers and I told Noah that they would be the ones sending the western union because he kept asking which western union I would be sending it from and I told him it just depends where they are at that time. So keep that part of the story in mind for the ending. Well Noah faxed me th papers needed to be signed and I sent them back (big mistake now because now the have all my personal information). After the all the faxing my mom being a Internet junkie wanted the name on the contract and my mom got to searching only to find rip off report and then she dug deeper and did a reverse look up on the address it a giant government office with lots of attorney's, passport office is there, chief judge well my mom being nosy called one of the numbers and asked to be transferred to the directory switchboard only to find out the business did not exist at that address. So the same day my mom also contacted a friend that works for the Better Business Bureau and she couldn't find no record of these people either. So this is good part, Noah calls and is ready to do the wire transfer and hes talking to my mother and he gives her a persons name to send this money to and my mother says this is going to a person and not a business and he goes on and on about his lenders privacy, my mother being as bold as she is says I'm getting ready to give you my hard earned money and you can not even tell me the lender and then she just tells him I know you are a scammer preying on innocent people your not real, your company not real the address is not real and Noah continues to claim his business is real then my mother lays a good one she says well my daughter told you that her father and I truck drivers and when we knew we were just going to have to put out this money we wanted to do it in person and got a load to Detroit. He hung up on my mother blocked mine and my mothers cell phone. I know this was a long story but I hope somebody got a little chuckle out of all of the distress these people are causing. We are all trying to make ends meet these days and just hope they catched these people, its so close to the holidays and somebody will be taken for a lot and some child will be looking at a empty Christmas tees a because these people don't care who they hurt.
Thanks, Chasity Indianapolis, Indiana
