Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
This person(s) poses as a legit company and uses your information obtained online to lure you into thinking you are approved for a loan. Once they contact you via email and you call them they ask you to sign a loan agreement and they then stipulate that you have to send them your first loan payment depending on the size of your loan and payments. Once you send them the first month loan payment they state they will refund you the payment with the additional funds of the loan and you will only have to pay the loan amount back plus whatever interest they state. In my situation it was a loan for 5000 and an interest of 10% so I sent them via western union 500 and once I did they stated that they are having trouble sending my money plus the loan amount back. They said the authorities in florida have my money and they need an additional 465 to release the funds. I then knew I was scammed. I told them I no longer wanted the loan and I wanted my refund they said they couldn’t do that and after arguing with them on the phone they stated I won’t see a penny of my money ever again and that they got me. The phone number to the fake business is still in service and they are still posing as the legit company. They then went into my personal account and took out a sum of 1100 dollars. I made reports with the FTC and the FBI. These imposters are still trying to scam people of there money as we speak. They are posing as Speedy Cash Corporation.
