Loan Scam

The FBI calls this "Advance Fee Scheme", here is a link to their website it also lists some other ongoing schemes. I would file a complaint with every authority against these people. Unfortunately, you are probably out of your money.

Sue the loan company. You need to show all documents of sending the money to Interest Plus Financial. Speak with an attorney to file a legal battle against these scammers. I understand that you are going through a rough time with your finance. But if you can afford a little more now, maybe you can get your money back. You should also report the company to the DA's office and the BBB. Perhaps, this is the only way I see from here.

Steelers1 is a very good information!!!!!!Thanks.
Thanks flyingcats,too.

Wow I fell for something simmilar luckily it was just 20.00 for a fee application this was a wile ago though. I got reimbursed when i kept on calling the DOC

Hindsight is indeed 20/20, it's just to bad that we sometimes learn things the hard way. Really, all you can do is file complaints with the authorities.

I have many customers that bring up the same sort of scams to my attention, and I always offer the same advice:
1) any UNSECURED loan that requires you to put down any funds before you get the loan, is not legitimate. Call it down payment, deposit, advance, etc., you should never have to pay them first in order to receive an unsecured loan.
2) Unless you are using Western Union (or any other electronic-payment service) to make payments on a loan you already have, those words should be a big red flag that shouts out "beware." Western Union hides the identity and location of the person you "think" you are paying.
3) Most states require lenders to be licensed in order to do any loans. Also, most states list their licensees on a state website. If you are planning on doing business with a non-reputable company loan company, you should check to see if they are licensed before you do anything with them.

steelers1 i really like the information about FBI
INVESTIGATION for all types of fraud.i learn every day and night in this forum many things that help me
