A Real Loan Company?

I am trying to get out of debt esp. with some PDL's and thought I might get a small loan....maybe not so small? But I went online and applied with a company called Empire Direct Lending. They are supposed to be i MN? I received a call that I had been accepted for the amount I applied for, but have to Western Union collect them $1000 for the insurance. I also have to send them a paycheck amount, my license and SS... the acceptance letter is from NY. I checked them out online and cannot find a thing that supports their validity, nor can I find a phone at either location.
I am thinking this is a scam.
Has anyone heard of them? Or been taken by them?
Thanks in advance.

Did some checking and did not find anything under Fox Peterson Equity Loans, Agency or Lending firm. When I went to the BBB, I found 166 Mortgage brokes all of them Alethes LLC in Texas. 2 Advance Fee brokers: Bruce Lending (not lot of Alethes seems to have different address, is a member of the BBB and seems to only show 2 complaints. I did sparatic looks at the company on different pages for this one and they all seem to say the same thing. They have been a memeber of the BBB since 2002. There are 2 Advance Fee Brokers: Bruce Lending Firm. (not a lot of info, 4 complaints. all 4 closed due to no response) and Priority Lending Firm (address false, unsatisfactory record), There are 6 Law Firms and 1 is with the BBB, There are 8 under Advertising Firms and Counsoling (these appear to be work from home schemes. BBB has note at top of each inquiry that says would like to speak to you about inquiry and then warning about work from home scams.), 4 under Auto Repair and Service, 1 under Construction Service, 1 under Consumer Financial & Loan Company (Guess where this is...British Columbia and they did not respond to the BBB to set up a file and the letter from the BBB was returned!!!), 1 under Financial Services (they are in PA but have an unsatisfactory record.) There are a few other catagories in there, but to me...this does not sound legit. There is nothing with the specific name Fox Peterson.

Just want to say is be careful!!!! I feel a scam here or something related to PDLs.

Ok, I did want to add when I did a search for this company, I came up with 2 things, but they both were message boards. There was some Bank of America stuff at the bottom of them, but I just don't buy this. This Rev whoever they are and this Vicki whomever seem to be pushing this awful hard and if you read the posts, they both seem to be repeating themselves and you can read almost exactly the same thing this Vicki person posted here on the msg board for this so called loan company. I just want to tell people to be careful. If is sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I just don't have a good feeling about this and you know, anyone can put Rev. in front of their name to make people think that they are speaking the truth. BE CAREFULL!!!!!!!

because,anyone who asks for upfront money is more than likely a scam or fake.

Rev ~ I guess maybe the first hint that this may be a scam is how much it has been pushed on here by you and whomever this other person is. 2nd, the address was a yahoo address I believe and most businesses do not have yahoo addresses and the fact that there is no information about them anywhere, address, etc. When I do a BBB search with the information that was provided, I find what I had listed above. Some of those business do not seem to be legit. If you are indeed legit, as you say you are, and you are satisfied with the "loan" that you got, great, I am happy for you, but here we are trying to help people make good decisions and help them get out of debt, not get more into it and to help them from being scammed or being taken advantage of. Too many "scammers" come on here because of people sounding desperate and say they can help and all it does is make things worse. As stated, if you are a "legit" person, (using your words), then you are welcome to stay and post, but we ask that you do not post any more about getting a loan from those people. If you are not legit or a scammer trying to take advatage of people, then just go away.

Happy to hear you din't send this PDL any money (or whatever company they said they were). If they call again, DON"T answer the phone...they probably want to "confirm" information, with you. Stay away from PDL's.

ALL they wanted was your money and information (bank accounts, etc). Good thing your 'thought twice' about sending them anything.

Hello, I need some real help. I have been contacted by this company, Fox Peterson Loan Agency and I tried to search to find their addresses but there is no trace. They are asking for bank networking charges and the best part, they were willing to give me a real bank account, but the flaw about it - the name of tbe beneficiary is not them. mmmm. anyone heard about this company ? please help. They have proposed a loan for me and I just don't want to be ripped off, any advice ?
