I too have less than perfect credit and went on line to try and find a personal loan. I was contacted by Suzanne Riley from Treasury Financial Group. She claimed that she had found a lender for a $10, 000 loan that I had requested. She said that due to my imperfect credit I could either obtain a co-signer or pay Fine Line Insurance $1190.00 to insure my loan. I was to pay the $1190.00 by Western Union to Accounts Receivable: Michelle Samuel - Expected Location: Toronto, Canada. I was to then receive my loan via wire in 2 days time between 10am - 2pm.
I received a message on my home phone on Wednesday, Oct.4th at 11:00am saying that prior to wiring the loan they needed to verify my routing and account number to my bank. I called back but was unable to get anyone. Finally, Friday Oct. 6th I spoke to a Angela Simmons and gve my bank information. They now have my social Security number, Driver's license and all vital info!
Angela assured me that the funds would be available that day between 12pm and 6pm and to call her back on Monday, Oct. 9th to verify that I received the funds.
Well, it's Saturday - make that Sunday now and no funds have arrived.
This situation angers me for myself and all others that have been taken advantage of. I'm going to contact all of the agencies that I need to in order to protect myself from this point on as well as Western Union. Thanks for those tips!
I'm faxing them a letter requesting my refund and venting my frustration although I imagine that it won't do me a bit of good!
Hopefully, something can be done to stop people like these!!!
