A few month ago went to my bank and got denied for a loan. So the asked me if i agreed to send my file to a 3rd party and I said OK. Maybe 2 weeks after I got a voice mail from a gentlemen from that company saying that I was approved for a loan and that my file was transferred from my bank over to them. What a mistake. Called the guy back that told me I was approved. Then he asked for Collateral payment for 3 months threw Western union. Which I did. The next day didn't see the funds in my account. Called them back and he said that he didn't realize that I was a 1st time client so I have to buy the insurance. So asked another 520$ and the fund would then be released. I argued with the guy a bit. Didn't see the funds so call back. I actually went threw the call center of the extension provided and pretend I was someone else has I knew at this point since you have to identify yourself the would not pick up. The guy told me you sign a contract so we have 15 days to get your money back so call back in 1 hour and will give you a date. I called back and the gave me a date of Nov 30th for refund. I still don't believe them so I went at my bank to show them the paper work and I filled a complaint threw the police department which the now have implicated the RCMP. Hopefully it will get us somewhere. The police said to try to call back but not answering. I call Western Union fraud department and then told me that with a police complain that Western Union have an obligation of giving the police the identity of the account and camera footage of the person picking up the money at the location over to them. I was also told that the 3rd party that you send the money to has no choice but to provide a government issued ID to get the money. Probably fake but at least it could give the police a trail. Hope this help. I told the rep at western union that he scammed me and that a police report would be filed against them. From what I see the are still active. I don't think I will see my money back on November 30th... I still don't know at this point how the got my number and personal information...
