I've been scammed big time. I applied for a loan online like an idiot and got a call 2 days later from a Tom McNeil at x496. I was told that he could not get me a signature loan but he found me a private lender. I asked this man 9000 questions and even did some extra checking online about the company. It was all legit so I sent the money to Canada. $850 later I checked my account and there was nothing. I called customer service at of course x0 and got the so called customer service manager Michael Driver. He told me that there was some discrepancy in my credit report and i would need to send another $850 to a MS.Linda Mathews. He told me that I have two options, to either send the money or he'll refund my money. I told him that I didn't have another $850 to give any one and I have been given a 3 day notice. I was told that I would have to wait until July 20th to get my money back. I told therm to deposit the money into my account ( they don't have a clue that its a prepaid account, at least I don't think so). I told them if I didn't hear from Mr. Driver within the next hour of me calling I was going to call the BBB and the FTC. I got the call and was still told the same thing. I stayed true to form and contacted every body I thought that could help me. I even called the company who's name was stolen. I still have my paper work that was faxed so if any one has any more info please let me know.
