Offered low interest loan. Was told I was approved for $100k personal loan to buy the business I was looking at.
Got the contract, said we'd move ahead with it. I was then told we'd need to come up with $8k for an "Insuransce" account which would be released in 4-6 months of good payments.
I was then told that we only neede to come up with $4k and the rest could come out of the laon after I got it. When I told them I only had 2k they said that was fine - they'd work with that.
I needed to send that money to 2 different people in Canada as they were my angel investors.
Started doing more resaerch and could not find ANYTHING! Good or bad on this company. So I called Maine government offices & found out they are NOT licensed anywhere! Thier explanation for this is that they had company info stolen by someone else. The names above are several that were involved with Optimal Services which I found a report for on this site!
So glad I didn;t send money! I have reported them to BBB, FTC and the Consumer Protection Agency.
Please don't deal with these people!
Got this back from Consumer Protection Agency:
Dear Ms. Grimm,
Our agency has received your written online complaint. We have determined that Metta Capital Lending is an advanced fee loan scam, given that the physical address listed on the website does not exist (we had the Portland Police Department verify this) and that the company is not licensed with our office. Once again, I thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Best regards,
Kristin P. Kirouac
Assistant to the Principal Examine
