Total money lost $600
Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
Applied for a loan online. Was emailed loan documents which looked legit. Trevor emailed me and saidnI was approved. Jason emailed me and said I needed to send $500 through Western Union. Western Union declined sending. Was given a list of one pharmacy near my apartment would be able to electronically transfer the money. I was able to send the $600. Received an email to send another $3000 but they would
cut me a deal and take half – $1500. I withdrew my application six weeks ago and was told it would take 3 weeks for me to receive my tracking number for a refund check to be mailed. No check yet. No emails or calls returned. The money is gone.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
The "financial manager" emailed me my loan agreement, and stated that since I don’t have collateral I would have to pay an upfront fee, before funds could be released. No funds were ever received.
