Total money lost $1,200
Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I had been needing debt relief and had signed up for a few loan companies this one replied and said I was approved for $10,000 all I needed to do was make a few moth down payments of $500 and sign a contract and send my info at first I thought that was okay and that I really needed it being a single mom with two kids also in debt I felt this was good I signed the contract and sent my banking and full info and proceeded with making a payment he asked (Ryan Hollands) if I can go to a bit coin machine to make payments cause I live in Vancouver he said the bank they use there isn’t one where I am and that’s usually how they accept payments but he said this is another way I sent $550 then the next day he said the loner was asking for more another $650 but at a different bit coin machine I had the money to pay but it was all I had left so I paid thinking that it was all be good and that I’d get my loan but that was not the case Ryan had told me the loner wanted a full $1400 payment before he can release the funds . I no longer had money to send an already in debt enough I asked if I can get my money back as I could no send anymore as I already sent my month’s pay I am on income assistants and receive CTC. Ryan said he can try to pull out of the contract and said he had done so was able to. Ryan said it would take 14-21 business days for my refund to arrive in the mail this was August 23rd 2019 and I still have not received anything in the mail as he said it would be in first class mail. I’ve e mailed him asking for the tracking information and mo reply I’ve called multiple times but no answer and now when I call it has a busy tone and won’t reply to my e mails
