Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I was contacted by Carson and Hill Financial Group by phone. A person by the name of Tracey Logen would leave a voice mail from an “unknown” number. But the voice mail contained the contact number and extension. When contacting them they said that I had qualified for an $8,000 loan and I had three options. Option 1 was to get a co-signer, Option 2-pay 4 months in advance, and Option 3-get Insurance on the loan. I chose to pay $648 through Western Union. I called several days later wondering why the loan had not been deposited into my account. Tracey said she was sorry but my credit score had decreased and I would need to send another $648 dollars. So I did. She seemed very knowledgeable and empathetic toward my situation and assured me that it would be deposited that day. Well that was a Sunday. That should have been a red flag. I called on Monday and said what happened. Now she is telling me that the loan company in Canada would have to be paid $500 in border taxes. Now I am starting to get really concerned. I finally said just send me back the money I had sent and forget about going through with the loan. She says that it would take 30 days to receive my refund. Also, both transactions were made to the name of Terrance Jason Barton, Ontario Canada
