Things to remember about loans offered by phone or e-mail: (Pay attention to item #4!)
Loans
1. No reputable lender will lend you money over the phone.
2. No reputable lender will lend you money by e-mail
3. On-line lenders are nothing more than conduits for another loan scam.
4. Advance fees for loans are always illegal. At least in most American states.
5. If you want to borrow money, go to an established brick and mortar lender that has been around awhile.
6. If you receive a call from someone with an Indian accent either
a. threatening you or
b. offering you something,
you know it’s a scam and you should hang up immediately.
7. These people are predators, the calls are not random, they have information that they have bought from various sources and know your financial history. If you have ever taken out a pay-day loan, they have all your information. They know who they are calling. They like to pick on women, single mothers, the elderly and sometimes members of the immigrant community. Also, those who might be in financial difficulty.

This number along with 312-436-0234 is a scam they asked me to send money when i applied for a loan, when i told them get off my phone stop calling he said i would be in trouble and to hold while he called the police i said please do , i will gladly hold so i can report you and your company . His name is peter mullen .....Lol, with a heavy indian accent so i will be pursuing this because they have stolen identity from a loan website that i originally applied from
Said I was approved for 1000.00 dollars and has me get cards for 200.00 and give him the pin numbers for payment of wire transfer and kept wanting more money. I talked to several different people with Indian accents. Peter Mullen , Richard and the email came from a guy name Chris.
