This company emailed me stating that I was approved for a loan for $7,500. So I replied to the company. The company then called me and we communicated for a while. The supposedly company asked me to send almost $1000.00 to put up as collateral, so I then told them that I did not have that kind of money to put up for the loan. The company then said they would settle for $540.00 asked me to wire the money via Western Union to Canada to some lady that all of a sudden came into the picture. The company then told me that it would take a few days for them to put the money into my account. The company said they would call me to notify me off the wire being received, well a few hours then by passed I haven't heard from anybody. So, I called the company and the number that I had been communicating with them through was all of a sudden disconnected, thats when it hit me that I was officially scammed. That was my rent money I had given up, I am still in the hole. I was told by a local Western Union facility to go to the local law enforcement office. I did so, they said they couldn't do anything about it that I would have to contact the law enforcement up in Canada. So, I then contacted the police in Canada, they said they couldn't do anything unless they were contacted by my local police department and that way there would be a case started up. I tried to stop the Western Union but I was about 30 minutes late. I contacted Western Union customer service, they told me they couldn't give me the exact location the money was picked up at due to security reasons which I think is crazy. I have contacted the site passed down to me to file a complain which is www.ic3. Gov, they don't do anything they don't even respond to your complaint which they state on their site that they will get back with you. I was told by a friend that since I used my debit card to do the transaction I'd be able to go to the bank and see about them helping me. They were no help. It seems like there is no compassion when this type of thing happens. People don't care until it has happened to them. I have done everything in my power to get my money back and to put the criminals that scammed me behind bars where they need to be. When I looked the company up online which is what I should have done from the beginning, I found out they not only scammed me but a lot others within the same time frame. It is so sad that these criminals are allowed to do such a thing and our law enforcement does nothing about it.
