I was contacted by Grace Matthews (probably not her real name) and was told i was approved for a $5000.00 loan. At the time i was going through financial troubles and it seemed like a blessing. It all sounded good until she told me because of my credit issues i would have to secure the loan. I had to send $771.95 through Western Union which cost an additional $66.00 however, she stated i would be reimbursed that amount. I borrowed the money from my neice and sent it on its way. I was assured that the money would be in my account the next business day by noon. It never showed up. I called back and spoke with customer service. The man or woman, i wasnt sure, told me that the lender wanted yet another payment of $771.95 as well as Western Union fees again. I had already invested the first lump sum and felt i had to go forward with this in order to pay my neice back atleast. I borrowed the money again and was told the money would be there in 4 hours. It never was. I called back and spoke with a man in the customer service, who was very rude and he said i would receive a refund in 30 days. I said that was not acceptable, i did what they wanted and they can atleast send it back in a more timely fashion, to which the man started screaming at me and said my credit was crap and that i should have known i wouldnt get such a loan. I was frozen with fear and knew at that moment i was probably never going to see that money. I dont know how people can do this to innocent people but they do. I know i will never see my money returned and i have to deal with that. I hope these people know they are hitting up people who work hard and just want to find a way from the bottom only to get knocked back down and struggle even harder to make up for a mistake that never should have happened, but then these people do not care and that is very sad.
