I answered an ad for a loan in a local paper advertising for people with not so good credit. Lisa St. Claire (fake name) called me and said I was approved for $5,000.00 and this amt would be sent to my checking acct within 24 hours upon receiving my insurance deposit of $685.00. I wired the $685.00, called her with the control number, again, she stated my funds would be in my account my 6:00 P.M. That nite (July 1)
The next week being a fool I am I sent an additional $385.00 and then even an additional $300.00 plus wire fees to them. I probably have at least the names of over 15 reps from this company and I could never get a response.
The last money I sent them was on July 7th and they even fax'd me a guarantee letter that stated upon receipt of my money that the $5,000.00 fees would be put into my checking account. On July 12th, (this is the first time I could never even get someone to answer the telephone), Mr. Horton told me that they needed another $685.00 and the funds would be to me within 3-6 hours. At this time, I told them I wanted a refund and they said it would be 15 - 30 days to be processed. I said to start the process.
Today, is August 17th, they say my refund money was processed on July 25th - Just another lie - I have basically been scammed out of $1400.00 fees and this is money I did not have to begin with. My husband had just had open heart surgery and not able to work so we were going to use this money to catch up on payments including our house - which is now probably going to be foreclosed on. I have had bounced checks, service charges and have not recovered from this yet.
I simply do not know how someone could work at a job like that. And I hope someday, I find out how to go about getting part of my money back.
If anyone has ever had luck at this, please respond.
