Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I was down on my luck and needed cash to get out the financial hole that I’m in. My car is breaking down, my lights got cut off and my bank account was closed due to fraud so I really needed a big sum of money in a little time and when I came across these websites they seemed like legit businesses they talked with me through emails and explained how they were going to send it and do it and it seemed legit when you’re already desperate for more funds. So the first website secretdeals.su they were going to transfer 3500 is I paid 150 that seemed okay to me so I sent the payments of 150 and they confirmed it. They emailed me back and said that I was actually legible for 17000 if I sent another 150 so I sent another 150 and they never contacted me back I had to reach out to them and then was told that by the senior hacker George in a yahoo message that it was all a scam and they were not going to release any funds or give me a refund, in the meantime I was contacted by realdealz.pro and honestly its the same thing. They wanted me the pay 250 for 2500 using itune gift cards which I can provide those number later I do not have them on me at the moment and they sent me the MTCN for the western union transfer and I thought it was going legit but when I went to get the funds they could not locate a transfer and to come back the next day. So I did the western union in publix still could not locate a transfer so when I contacted the email they were very rude telling me that it was my fault and I messed the system etc and wanted me to pay more to redo the transfer. I pleaded for hours for them to either refund my money since they offered a 100% guarantee refund if you do not receive your funds. I haven’t received anything or heard from anyone again and I have lost so much money regarding this issue due to fake websites and crooked people. I’m just trying to pay my bills and get out of this financial hole I fell into and can’t seem to get out of. I don’t want anyone else in my position to fall for this because in the end its not fair and the consumer ends up losing. Thats all the info that I have regarding the hackers they don’t really give names George is the senior hacker I spoke with on yahoo so that is why I provided his name.
