Irs direct loans or so they say!
Consumer Report

I had applied for a goverment grant or loan which ever i was eligible for to help with home improvements and medical bills. About 2-3 days after applying i recieved 3 offers from three different supposed government offices all located in washington DC one of which i knew was a scam. The others offered on one 7000 and never did call back and the one i agreed with terms on told me i would be gettin 627.00. They told me since i had recently had my wallet with everything in it stolen, that i could go to western union and recieve my money in minutes, ii have never had a loan or tried to get aloan. So i went to a western union agent where i told them exactly what they needed. They filled out order for recieve money. The man whom addressed himself as james wilson told me that the irs had taxes which had to be paid for the loan money. He advised me to sent a total amount of 127.00 to him. My husband gave the lady the money and sent it to them, the man stayed on the line and pretended to check the status and told me a number in which i was to use to reicieve the money, he said it would only tak 5-10 minutes at the longest. I waited for about 5 minutes or ten and told the agent to cancel the money transfer in which she replyied that she had requested a return. I waited from that point about 21/2 hours and no funds where ever recieved. I asked the agent again and she gave me a number to western union - (1800325-6000) and told me i would need to contact them for the return number. I called them and talked to three people at first and then was transferred to 2 more of there agents before finding out that the agent's request had never been recieved and the money had been picked up 20 min after it was sent. I contacted the company and they told me that they needed me to to speak with the irs manager and the man who got on phone only gave me his first name which was jackson, he advised that hidden fees on the loan money had to be paid before i could get the money. He told me to send 120.00 and funds would arrive. I told him i wanted the 117.00 which they claimed could be refunded and told them he had until the next day to do it. He laughed and hung up. I called anywhere between 50 to 100 times and got in touch with them and he stated that in 15 days my money would be here. And hung up again and i have not been able to reach them because they have caller id and know the numbers and when they do anser they hang up. This company left me broke infact negitive in the bank. I have no income now where i found out this morning my job, the company is closing and will not open back up, i have 8 hours on my next paycheck, my daughter is sick and i have a car that is in the shop. I was hopeing that with this loan i could get ahead but instead got put under i have contacted western union and they are not willing to help get the money back only put it on file what happened and i have contacted local attorities also. I have to get in touch with them again today which like they said will take as long as a month at the least. I dont have a month to wait and i am worried that because of my own stupidity that my money is gone and that will be more debt added on, which i cannot afford to have. I hope and pray you can help me, this is the only thing i can really keep optimistic about. And hopefully the company or whom ever will give the money or be charged what they have done to me and other out there. But if there is anything else as far as information about them or me, please contact me and i will tell u whatever i can and know myself thank you so much for your time and patience!
