            About This Business

            Products and Services

            This company operates as an advance fee lender, allegedly charging consumers advance fees on loans. Charging advance fees on loans, such as insurance, premiums, or collateral, is illegal per the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General. The BBB urges consumers to exercise extreme caution when dealing with a lender that requests upfront fees. Some red flags of this fraudulent activity include the company asking for the advance fees to be wired via Western Union or Money Gram to a foreign country such as Canada.
