I sent a gentlemen272.00 via western union Andre Clarke is his name the loan representative is Marcia bell I sent in all my info and 3,000 is suppose to be direct deposited into my account yet no money has been recieved
They told me they would loan us 3000. We needed to send them 4 payments of 90.00 first. added up to 450. They told us that was to be used as collateral and then we would not have to make our next 90. Payment til April 2015.
ANY request by a business to use a cash wire transfer service (Western Union, Money Gram, Green Dot, etc.) to get a loan is a scam. Every time. Payday loans are illegal in many US States. To request a fee, for any reason, to get a loan is illegal in every US State. These are very simple advance fee scams. It can be a loan, prize, gift, lottery win, Government Grant, etc. Any request for an advance fee is a scam. Also beware of offers for gift cards, with a fee to get it.
Advance fee loans are illegal period and in some states, so are the payday loans. Please be aware the scammers may also claim down the road that you have taken a loan and try to extort money from you that way as well!
