I was told by a friend about a newspaper ad she saw for a chance to receive a loan through a company called IC Distributions. The ad was placed in the Des Moines Register of Des Moines, IA last month. The ad stated to call a number for prequalification.
I called the number and was told by a prerecorded message that I needed to fax a check payment of $95.00 for a placement fee, my most recent checkstub, completed application (which was sent to me from IC Distributions by mail through DHL Express mail), copies of my photo ID, and a bill with my current address. I faxed this information for processing and waited for approval.
I was told through the direct 800 number voice message that I would receive my loan check within 24 hours if approved for the loan. I received a letter that stated I was approved for a $1,500.00 loan. After several days, I had not received a loan check and noticed that my $95.00 check for the placement fee had been cashed.
I tried calling and faxing the company several times, left several messages on voicemails, and did recieve a call back from the company. I mailed a letter of concern and still no reply.
I have saved all documents sent to me by the company, received a copy of the check the company cashed from my bank, made copies of the letter I sent to the company, and saved all recorded calls I made to the company. At this point, I still have not heard from the company, received a loan check, and received my $95.00 back for the placement fee. I have been scammed and do believe this is a fraudulent company.
