David,
How do you report these people because they got me for $200. All I am trying to do is see my son in SC so I got desperate and started looking on the internet. Your post is exactly what I went through. Please help, thanks
Quick facts folks. Anytime you are asked to pay an advance fee for a loan, gift, prize, lottery, etc. It is a fake. 100% every time. If the method of YOUR fee is Western Union, GreenDot, MoneyGram, or any form of wire transfer. It is a scam. NO real business uses these forms of payment. None. They are the choice of criminals because they are CASH, untraceable cash. An advance fee for a loan in the US is illegal. A Payday loan is also illegal in many States. So if you go for one on the internet, and they are NOT in the US, and things go wrong - Well, you get the picture.

I knew he was when I first called back and he was like are u still looking for a loan or not, otherwise we will cancel your application also, he was like the interest on a 3000$ loan would be 300$ and I was like that's it.. So I knew his Indian, organic [***] was a scanner.. I told him to just take the fee off of the loan and wire me the balance.. He said no that's not possible, I said why not.. He said because people scam on the internet and we have to be sure its you because otherwise we can't get our money back.. He asked was I able to pay 274/mon..
