What can I say? I needed a loan, at a reasonable interest rate, and I needed to find one that would approve me, even with my bad credit. Through directives on the internet, I found frontiercap.net. I thought my prayers had been answered. A $7500 loan, 5.9% interest, reasonable payback terms, and an authentic (looking) website.
They required my submitting personal information (bank statement, paystub, etc.) and $750, which they said would be used toward the principle balance and the first month's payment. The man who called me, Andrew Samuels, asked me to send a MoneyGram to him (his name, not the company business) in Halifax, Nova Scotia. BIG mistake.
I was told I would have my loan by a certain date. That day came and went. I called them (same man answered) and they said due to technical difficulties my loan would not be deposited until 2 weeks later.
That was almost a month ago. The website and phone number are no longer operational, and while email to them isn't returned to me, I certainly haven't gotten any kind of a response.
I've filed online reports with the Canadian Council of Better Business Bureaus, the Halifax police department, phonebusters.com, and the IFCCFBI. While that $750 (which, sadly enough, is almost as much as I bring home in a month) is certainly gone forever, I hope that the person responsible will be found and punished. My greatest wish is for no one else to be duped by this person, who obviously is morally defective and worthy of stoning.
