My son found this lending group on line and decided to see what they had to offer in terms of a personal loan. He also looked on the BBB website, to find out if there were any complaints. None were found in the last three years.
The guy my son spoke to was a Mark Walters who stated that he would have to run a credit check and get back to him. He later returned the call and told him that his credit was not the best, but they could work with him in terms of getting the loan. Mark Walters said that in order for him to get the loan, there was in insurance fee of $1200 to be paid to secure the loan. My son said that he did not have that money, all he could send was about $200 which he sent by Western Union. He said to Mark that he hoped it was not a scam. Mark said that the money was too small to put him out of business.
Mark again telephoned my son to tell him that he would have to pay at least $500.00. He was very skeptical at first but decided to do it since he needed the money. Mark Walters or Joshua Thomas and he is known, called to say that he was approved and the money would be placed in his account by the evening. He waited, called, was told that it would be done the next day. The next day he called again, nothing happened - there was always an excuse.
Today 7/7/08, my daughter decided to get on line to see what she could find out about this company and she tried on Yahoo and there was the information - the company is not legit and these people or lending group are SCAMMERS. He lost out on $700.00. I think the same guy used the two different names.
My son is a father who supports three children on his own, and this has really damage him because the $200. Came from him, but the rest was borrowed. Now he has to pay that back with no money left. Also, there is a completely changed manner that he shows which I am hoping that he will cause no harm to himself.
I don't know what you can do about this, but this company and or persons need to be prosecuted for this and I'm asking for your help for my son's sake.
