Description

I applied for a loan which was a lower interest rate. Everything seems legit. Contract , email, phone numbers. But than they said i would need to make a security deposit to ensure the loan would be secure. This is where is got disrupting. They asked i send an etransfer to send the money. I thought this was ok as I had a low credit rating and secure a rate . And they said for insurance purposes. Than they gave me personal emails to send to rather than a company email. My bank even stopped the etransfer as it sounded as a scam and i didn't listen and let it go through. After they money was supposed to be in my account ( the loan) it wasn't there. I called and they said the lender pulled out even after a sighed contract and needed more money to get a different lender. At that point i asked for my deposit back and than found out it was a scam. They are using several people's emails and names. The lady I spoken to is using the name Sarah Goldberg and also another one is Ernie kelloway. Also using phone number 343-999-5512. No company would ask for money upfront in applying for a loan. This is a huge scam
