I applied for a short-term internet loan and when contacted by this company I could not finish the application as it prompted you to sign or phone in your authorization, yet there was not a clear message what you were authorizing, so I decided to not complete the application. A few days later they drafted $48.88 from my banking account without my permission. Then my personal reference person received a phone call claiming an "Andrew Parker" was an FBI agent claiming he represented "Illustrious Perks" and they had filed charges of bank fraud against me unless they paid my bail (meanwhile I was on vacation and unaware of this). I contacted Illustrious Perks at 877-754-3389 and was hung up on twice after I mentioned my name and dilemma to the operator. Finally after a third try I spoke to a lady named Veronica who "swears" this is not a scam and "refunded" my $48.88 which is supposed to arrive via mail, yet she never asked me for my address. She also claims to not know who Mr. Andrew Parker is and that Illustrious Perks has nothing to do with him. Immediately I went to my local Police station and filed a report. Please stay away from this company and any "payday loans" over the internet.
