Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
Contacted by Katherine Martin. She was very pleasant said I had been approved for $5000. She said I had to make 4 collateral payments of $600. It never set well with me. I googled as well as called Attorneys Generals office, no company by this name exist in California at this address. There are 4 scam alerts against this company since October 1st.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
Was contacted by Denise Brown their “senior loan officer” after applying for debt consolidation online. Put in my application, and was told to pay a fee to obtain my loan. I have yet to hear back from them. After doing some info I found out the location they have was completely bogus, there is no business there currently and that business had never been there. I never sent the fee but I knew something was up when their application was sent to me with words filled in here and there.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
Applied for a loan online got an email saying I was approved and that I had to call for more information so I called and got and answering service asking me to record my name so I did then it put me thru to this woman’s voicemail asking me to leave a message and she would return my call shortly. She returned my call and told me I was approved for 10,000 but because of my credit,which is not that great thankfully in this situation, she told me that I had 3 options to chose from in order for them to loan me this money so she told me option 1 was to have a co signer who has a credit score of 750 or greater and wasn’t co signing for anyone else then there was option 2 which was I send three monthly payments in advance as collateral but that it would go towards my first three months so I wouldn’t need to start making payments until March 2019 so she said I would need to send 675 usd in order to receive the 10,000. Option 3 was purchase insurance which would secure the loan in the event I was unable to make my payments the cost of this was 1200 she said very expensive keep in mind. I started to think this was not right so I told her I will have to get back to you on this. She said ya sure just call me or email me if you have any questions. When I got home I decided to email her asking her to send me a copy of what we discussed over the phone so a few hours later she emails me a copy of a contract stating only about option 2. There was my second red flag so I decided to look this business up on the ScamPulse.com and no results exist for this business. So I emailed her asking why is it that when I search your business with the bbb nothing comes up. No response.
