On 7/31/18, I "applied for a loan". I was directed to their website. Filled out the application. Minutes later I recieved a phone call from the representative. His name was Michael. Did not give me his last name. He told me I was "approved". I needed to send $250.00 via google play card to his company as a deposit, I believe. Reluctantly I did so. About 2 hours later he called me and said everything is good. I only have to "pay the taxes" on it. to do this I would need to send another $300.00 to cover taxes. Again via google play card. So again I did.He then told me the wire transfer would take about 4 hours. About 4:45 CST I called him and told him it did not go through. At that time he then told me I needed to pay another $335.00 to improve me credit score because it was "preventing the "Back transfer to happen". I do have a copy of the wire transfer info. After that didnt go through. After trying the wire transfer he said he was going to wire it to my bank account. He said it would be in by Midnight.As of this morning it is not there. So I called him and informed him. He then said they would Express air me a check in the amount of the "loan" and the fees totaling 4000.00. He then told me that to air the check I woould need to send tem $275.00. By this time I said no, I want all my money back. He said that would be possible but it would take 30-45 days. What else can I do to take action. I have a phone number, first name, and "Contract" with his bosses first name on it, wire transfer # google play cards used for the transactions and reciepts. Thank you

I was called and told I was approved for a loan up to $5000. I went a long with the necessary steps. I signed documents and sent a picture of my ID. I haven’t did a loan so I am not to sure the actual procedure. But anyways, after that the loan was supposed to be transferred into my TD account. When I woke up the next morning I was at a negative balance. I was called by a Ryan Harris who said there was an error with my account and he can western union the money, I would only have to pay $175 for the fees. The fees would be verified through iTunes cards. I purchased 3 $50 cards and 1 $25 card. Once I sent the cards to Ryan Harris to be verified he sent me 2 MTCN numbers so I can pick up my loan from a western union. The MTCN numbers could not be tracked and they don’t exist in the system. I tried 2 different western union locations. I then complained to Ryan Harris and he replied sorry. I then asked how do I get the $175 back there was no response.
