Recently My wife and I saw a house we were interested in buying but credit being what ours was it was going to be difficult to find a lender right away. After doing a search on line several people contacted me and after several frustrating turndowns I foun d on legitimate lender that even though the rate was high would help us get stared (needless to say) with no upfront money.
We have been working feverishly trying to set everything up when out of the blue I get another phonecall from this company Diamond Financial Group offering a much better rate and payments well below what I had been offered before. I responded that I would like to look at their presentation with a hard copy and after some hesitation the sales woman said she could email the loan application to me and I could sign it and return it with my collateral.
I asked why collateral since in buying the house the house would be the collateral. She responded this was good faith deposit and would be held in an escroll type account and would be refundable. I asked that the information be sent and if I felt like it was legit we would talk further.
Nearly a week passed and I got another call from this same woman when I asked her to repeat her name she got confused and said a different name then changed it back to the original name given. I told here I wasnt going to do anything because I hadnt recieved any information. She said she would email it again and if I would sign it and make arrangements to take care of the collateral my $90,000 check would be sent by COURIER. The magic word COURIER. As soon as I heard this I felt like it must be a scam.
Sure enough the next day I got the email with the almost identical words used in just about every COURIER lotto, lottery, and loan scam I have ever seen.By checking them out I saved myself $4,500.
Be careful these people have a great story, goodlooking web site, and a very entiing offer. Dont fall for it. Keep checking there are real, legitimate people out there that will help you. I was lucky I saw through this I hope you are too.
