In August Garry Penn of India responded to an online loan request I had placed. He offered an $800,000 USD loan at 2% for 15 years.
I paid him $1250 up front for processing fees, which seemed reasonable. I then received a notice from BIZ BANK, a division of Securities House K.S. C that I had been approved, but that there would be a one time COT fee of $1750. I paid this, received my account number and instructions for transfering my funds from Biz Bank in Nigeria (I had thought I was dealing with a London Bank or I never would have gotten involved) and proceed to try to transfer my funds. Then I discovered that I needed a non resident tax code for $1500, I received a formal letter assuring me that this was a requirement of the UK as I did not live there. I sent this fee with the assurance that there would be no additional fees, well ofcourse there was another anti-money laundering anti -terrorism fee of $4000 which was split between the broker Garry Penn and myself. This was paid, the funds were transfered, and never arrived, now there was a new fee of $3000 to cover the large bank transfer fee.
I have refused to pay this fee and have filed complaints with the Commerce division of the governements of Kuwait, UK, India, and Nigeria.
So just how do I get my money back?
