Total money lost $491
Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I was called about a $5000 loan. I was advised if I pay the first three months my deposit would come the next day. I sent $491 through MoneyGram to a Jacob Harrington, my supposed private lender from Canada. They claimed that due to my credit score being low that I had to pay an additional three months. I then declined their offer and asked for a refund. They advised it would take 30 days to receive a certified check. They said I would be receiving an email during that time from their funding department. The email never came. I called about two weeks ago and Mrs. Miller advised that I my cerified check would be mailed out on the 5th of February. I never received an email for confirmation. I called back three days after that and spoke with her supposed to be supervisor Carrie Watson who advised my check would be mailed out February 13th with an email confirmation. When I told her how her date conflicted with the date from Mrs. Miller, she hung up on me. Since then no one has answered or returned my calls. They have even disconnected their prompts for extensions and greetings.
