I was offered a loan from one guy named Mr.Pradeep Deshmukh via LinkedIn.com who referred me a South Africa loan provider with his email address: [email protected] and to my surprise they got full fledged set up of 2 websites i.e:

This game ended when they asked me the transfering charges in advance in tune of USD850 + and I replied them that their game is ended.But i ma surprised they are still working on.Please take legal action and if you need my assistance for further proof.I very happy to provide all documentary evidences and the past emails.

Hello trendworld,
Thank you for posting the information on this scam. Please post the email that asked for the $850 advance fee to be paid.

MOD NOTE: THIS POST WAS MADE BY A SCAMMER IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE THEIR SCAM. LEAVING THE POST HERE TO SHOW THE LENGTHS SCAMMERS GO TO IN ORDER TO CONVINCE VICTIMS THEY ARE LEGIT.

ANY Loan "company" demanding advanced fees for a loan is a scam!

i think it all depends by what we understand by scam, few weeks ago my company completed a loan deal with Offshore investment bureau, and i can confirm there is no scam during our dealing with them, but it might be difficult dealing with such company as insist that borrowers handle their pre-funding expenses which might initially sound like a scam, but we did we never lost.

Hello .

I have just received your e-mail and a follow up from the bank and i do not see anything odd from what the make requires from your end, what are your base to cancel the loan ? you should also understand that we have to cover up the agreement charge that we have paid to our lawyer for the draft of this agreement, and if you choose to withdraw from the agreement which is already signed by both parties that you will have to pay us a cancellation fee because we shall follow up this process .

Just as the bank has initially informed you, transfer charges are not deducted from our loan amount for any reason, we bond our loan payment against deduction as it must arrive your bank account on the same figure you applied for and the same figure that is stated on the agreement signed.

Furthermore, we have agreement with the bank to keep in custody of the loan amount in their bank still on your name till this is sort, but for sure just as the bank has mentioned transfer insurance must be cleared by you, as you can see that we do not have any collateral that will cover the loan , so you must insure them with bankers.

Thank you while we await your decision .
