I received an email that was offering loans at 3%. After a few emails the loan amount was to be for $60,000.00 for a 10 year term. I was told I needed to send $198.00 by Western Union to confirm the loan. I had not given them my social security number or any bank information. I was afraid it was a scam and told them so. They sent me a certificate showing the business and the gentleman's passport. I was uneasy but did send the $198 by Western Union (plus $22 to send) to Cynthia Moore who is suppose to be their Chief Accountant. I received an email after they received it wanting to make sure they had my correct address to send the check. Then today I get an email that says that they now need $698.00 for insurance on the loan before I can get the money. Now I know it was a scam. Now I am out a total of $220 which may not seem like much but to a single mother with only a part time job it is a lot. I would like to know if there is something I can do.
