Total money lost $3,381
Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I was cold called at work by a William Leonard stating I had been apprIves for a loan of $13000. He told me the payment, duration, interest and followed up with loan documents. I was ask to pay a $680 fee via Walmart to Walmart for insurance on the loan. Told the loan would be transferred to my account within 1-2 hours. No money. They contacted me telling me the lender wanted additional funds via same method. Funds were sent to New York to Carita McCall and Andre Thwaites. Money was sent by me a total of 6 times totaling $3381. Never no funds in my account. When I tried to reach them my calls were rejected. Last conversation involved me asking for a refund since the funds were 100% refundable but this too never transpired. I was told I would be sent a refund via courier within 2 business days. Ha ha. Jokes on me. This company is everything but legitimate. I am stupid for believing in them. I just feel they need to be stopped.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I had responded an email about a personal loan. Suddenly I receive an email from William Leonard at curve essential loans saying my loan was approved. All I needed to do was send a copy of my drivers license and bank information. I asked to see the loan amount and terms before sending any personal information. I received an email with attachment that had a very poorly constructed loan document attached. The terms were that I had to pay $500 up front for loan insurance. I tried to call the number listed for Curve Essential Loan’s and the 866 number rings a few times then starts beeping. Every number I tried doesn’t work. I looked up the address and there’s a B*** listed at the address on the website. Called chamber of commerce and they had no record of this company. I emailed back and said none of the numbers work and the address is that of B***. Said I was filing scam complaint and got an unprofessional email response back from this so called William Leonard. Beware of this company.
