Steven Andrews said I qualified for loan, charged $480 "deposit" for bad credit

Business & Finance

I was contacted by a Mr. Steven Andrews from Citiplus Financial - 100 York BLVD, Suite 303, Onterio Canada L4B1J8 telling me that I had qualified for a $6000 loan. He explianed what the terms would be. He told me that I only needed to send in a deposit of $480 because my credit was bad to secure the loan. I called him back when i had the $480. He then told me that i had to pay this by Western Union to his supervisor, Damion Mcphearson. He stressed to me the importance of having the Wire made out to Damion Mcphearson and to be sure to have the name spelled correctly. I then thought something was up so did some research on the internet. I could not find any information on "complaint" or the BBB. I called him back and questioned him about the legality of requiring a deposit and told him that I had learned that it was illegal in both Canada and the US to request a person who qualified for aloan to pay anything up front. He went on to tell me that it wasn't a depost, that I would get that money returned to me after I made three months of payments with no lates. I asked him to provide me with a liscense for Citiplus Financial, which he e-mailed to me. It looked legit so off to Western Union I went. I was directed to contact Steven Andrews as soon as the money was sent, which I did. I called back a couple hours later because he told me that the $6000 would be placed into my bank account within 2-3 hours after they recieved the money from Western Union. When I called him back I was told that the money wasn't available at Western Union. I then contacted Western Union myself and learned that the payment I was sending to Damion Mcpearson was placed on hold due to security reasons. The man at Western Union went on to tell me that when Damion Mcpearson when to pick up my money he was recongnized by the person on the other end and known to be a rip off artist. I learned through Western Union that I would never have gotten the $6000 and that Damion Mcpearson was only going to take my money. Western Union refunded my money and asked if I would mind pursuing a fraud case against this company as Western Union needed my permission to pass my name and infor forward. Of course i agreed. I again contacted Mr. Andrews and told him what I learned from Western Union. He told me that there must be "some kind of mix up" and that he would "get things straightend out" and call me back. Of course I have not heard another word from them. I am trying to report about this company and what happened to me to every conceivable place I can to assist in them being put out of business or leagal charges being brought against them. Please contact me at the e-mail address provided if I can be of further assistance or if you require additional information from me. Thank you. Margaret @msn.com
