permtidiva I am sorry I fear you have lost money to this scam. I hope and pray not.
Yes the address is real. But there is no Sterling National Lenders there or anywhere else.
I wished I had better news. Everyone in this forum will I am sure agree that no one here thinks for one minute that you are a "sucker". You were callously conned by someone who is very sophisticated and does this for a living (i.e., a "professional"). Whatever happens I wish you a happier tomorrow. Do not blaim yourself, you are a wonderful person for sharing vital information that could help other potential victims. Hold your head high, I am proud of you.
Borrowers are being advised to beware of companies that offer to arrange loans but request an upfront fee. It will be certainly be a fraudulent mass-marketed scam.
No reputable loan companies require advance fees. Only scammers ask people to pay an upfront fee with the promise of a loan.
Sadly it is mostly those with existing credit problems that fall into the trap of such leeches when they are offered a solution to their money problems.
These vermin prey particularly on vulnerable individuals and promise them a low-interest loan as an easy solution, but the reality is that there is no loan and this is just a front for scammers looking to make a quick buck.
Please everyone be very wary, don’t get ripped off. Pass the word to all your friends, family, neighbours.
