I keep getting loan offers from international companies, are there any legitimate international companies that lend in the US? Some of them are requesting an insurance fee be paid, which I have turned them all down.

I have a company that wants to wire me $ 30,000 from another client in the United STates and I am expected to take out my fees and then wire the rest to them. Is this legal? If they wire me the money, can I get in trouble if the money was not legit?

With all companies, if they tell me there is a upfront fee, I turn them flat out! What should I do about the ones that want to wire me more money into my account and then I am expected to wire some of it back? I know the money being wired to me would have to be legit, right? So could I get in trouble for this? Any help appreciated.


Dana,

Thanks so much for the heads up. I don't want to do anything illegal. What happens if they offer to lend me the exact amount I requested and they wire that to me? Is that still considered money laundering if I only get the money that I asked for? I am just trying to research all avenues of this before getting trapped. I have turned down dozens of companies for upfront fees, but this is something new now.

Money laundering is taking money and transferring it somewhere else, right? It wouldn't be money laundering if the money stayed with me, correct?

No technically it wouldn't, however, where is the money coming from? Can you guarantee that they are not stealing from somebody else who gave them their wire transfer info? Are they licensed, bonded and registered to do business in your state? Don't take their word for it. If you gave me some more info either here or by pm than maybe I can help you research them.

I called +44-703-190-2574 the other number is not valid. It belongs to the lawyer listed below. I left a message and his secretary called back. He seems very intersed in talking to me. I'm going to show him our posts. I get the feeling he did not know his telephone number was being used in this fashion. I coud be wrong. He is calling me back at 2pm their time; so in about 40mins I should know even more for you. I hope this helps.

I spoke to Mr. Chambers and he had no idea that someone was using him as a front. I gave him copies of this thread. If you join you can pm me your contact info and I'll put you in touch with him. OR if you don't feel comfortable with that; then copy down everything you have from these people verbatum and post it here. I'll get it to him. 8)
