I also got scammed by the Golden Harvest Co. I gave them my $99 and in 4 days I got a list of 6 lenders (none of which would EVER give me a loan).
I sent in to get a refund, along with my decline letters from all 6 lenders.
It's been almost 2 months and I haven't heard a word - imagine that!
BUT the story gets better..
About 2 weeks ago, while eating dinner, I get a phone call (out of the blue) stating that I HAD been approved for a $15,000 loan. I almost fell out of my chair.
The lady on the phone stated that she was from First Federal Lending Group.
She said my loan would be for 5 years at $280.00 a month. The thing that SHOULD'VE thrown up a red flag (but didn't) was that she needed a $810.00 (good faith) deposit.
I sent this lady (via MoneyGram) $810.00. THANK GOD this dollar amount threw up a red flag to the office at Moneygram.
They said anytime you send that kind of money to a PERSON, not a COMPANY, there is a flag.
The lady at FFLG had me send the money to a women (which I should've figured something didn't seem right) but I really needed the money.
get this, it was in canada..
So, not only are these people getting the $99 from people, they are now trying to get bigger dollar amounts from unsuspesting suckers!
I ended up getting my $810 from Moneygram, but I'm still out the $99.
I guess it's a lesson learned. Don't trust anyone..
