I received a text message stating that advance america has approved my loan application for up to $6000. When i trxted back they directed me to a website to fill out their application. The application seemed legit until it asked for my login and password to my mobile banking. I shut it down at that point.

Cashnow lenders and Nick Cambell. They got me to give money they sent me, back to them through Wal-Mart gift cards. They said they wanted to help me improve my credit score so that I could get a loan through them. To good to be true I was desperate for this loan so I did all they asked. I believed I was ok because they sent me the money all I had to do was send the money back. But little did I know that the money that was sent to me was a bad check and my bank then later rejected it. So I was left holding the loss.

I was contacted on Facebook through the contact list. A man named Robert Granville said I can receive $25,000. First, he asked for $500. I gave him the codes later on. Then he asked for $1,000 more. I paid him by purchasing Apple gift cards from CVS. He kept on asking for more money. I stopped doing this a few weeks ago. I contacted him on Facebook. I told him I wanted a refund. He replied the he wants $300 more. I did not respond.

They promised a loan with a 6% interest rate, but I had to send them 125.00 to do so. Once they cashed my check, they sent me a link to a bunch of websites to apply to. NONE had a interest rate anywhere near the 6 percent and none would offer me the amount we had agreed upon. They scammed me out of 125 dollars and now will not refund my money unless I go back and apply to all of the linked options which does nothing but bounce me around to several different sites. They are scam artist, and no one would convince me otherwise.

The scammer claimed to be genuine, and took me to another website for verification. I started being suspicious but the red flag for me was when, after it claimed I had been verified, it still asked for another $150 before I could get the loan. I reasoned that no right-thinking person would be demanding such money from a beneficiary of his lending capacity

American Home Finance Group Inc under the name Patrick Sartin reached out to me on LinkedIn because I am in the real estate community. He offered me a loan to fund a deal at 5% interest and 100% funding. After an application period, and an initial payment of $1960, he advised me he would be willing to fund my deal. As I sent this to my attorney, Mr. Sartin advised this was a personal loan and the document that was drafted to my attorney was sufficient as the loan documents. He asked me to pay for insurance to back the deal and they kept calling for my $5,000. After that, he said he would fund it right away with no additional money required. He sent me a document with a Citibank logo on the top that looked like a wire transfer. He then told me that my wire transfer was pulled back and he needed more money to fund the deal. He then made me open a bank account for an "escrow" bank that took more money from me asking me for a deposit for an OTP (one time pin) in order to release the amount from the bank. Then the bank website disappeared. They then mentioned that the IRS needed another $8500 to release the funds to my account and that is how an escrow bank works. I then asked for him to cancel the deal and give me my money back. He said to allow 14 days and he would give me a refund. After 30+ days he said I would have to pay $1300 to release my funds to me that I have already paid. I told him that I would authorize him to take the $1300 out of the funds that he has agreed to return to me. He has declined saying that the money cannot be taken from like that and I have to give him $1300 to release it. Do not use this company and any of its affiliates as they are scammers out to take money from people

We got scammed as well! Same address, same business information, Harry Gal was our contact person. We signed the funds guarantee letter, sent him $1250 to process the loan, then he started asking for insurance money. His funds guarantee letter stated that the deposit was refundable several times, and that if he didn’t refund our money in a timely manner he’d owe $750 on top of the refundable deposit. We never saw a penny back. I went through chase bank, which is who he supposedly banked through but they couldn’t get him to return the funds. He lied to us and said he sent it back. I will be getting a lawyer. Very sad to hear I’m not the only family who these scammers got.

Bluegate Capital is a fake loan company that does not deliver on what they promote. I was told that I was approved for a $275000.00 loan and that the company needed an appraisal and I would have to pay for it. I paid for the appraisal, and after they received the appraisal from the company that they chose, their representative, Ricky admitted that he made a mistake and that I would need to pay for another appraisal in order to complete the deal. So, I paid for a second appraisal that they chose, and upon receiving the second appraisal. the manager said that he didn't like the pictures from the home and decided NOT TO DO THE DEAL!!! They had the exact same pics from the first appraisal but said nothing. They wasted my time for over 8 weeks, wasted my money, they operate off of cell phones and they give false promises and don't deliver. I lost out on $275000.00 dollars, plus appraisal money twice, and wasted man hours that I can never get back!

These people are a scam financial companies, there are plenty of complaints from tons of customers on this BOGUS COMPANY! Some of the comments mention the owner of this company as being sued for FRAUD AND THEFT!

DON'T EVER DO BUSINESS WITH BLUEGATE CAPITAL, YOU WILL BE SORRY!!!

Loan Offer through company that connects you with lenders. Lender offers loans amount to be deposited into banking account, a lower loan amount is deposited into the bank account, then lender ask that this lower loan amount is sent back to the lender to make sure your account is good before the original higher amount is deposited to the account.

James Anderson called me about 2pm and told me that I was approved for a personal loan of $8,000. I had been online applying for various loans because my car broke down and I needed emergency cash. He then emailed me paperwork with company letterhead which indicated the all details of the loan, and walked me through his very detailed website, which appeared to be legitimate. The paperwork showed the interest, monthly payment amount etc. He then stipulated that in order to send me money, he would have to verify my bank account by him sending me a small amount of money and then me sending it back to him. I did not want to use my bank account so he I asked if I could just use my cash app card. He said yes but cash app only through bitcoin because the cash app card had restrictions. I sent him a payment of $320 via bitcoin which was suppose to my first upfront payment on my loan. He said that unfortunately there was an issue and he could not send the loan money because my name was missing my middle initial and the paperwork was already drafted without it. He would have to send me the return and then I make another payment or both would be applied to the bill which would take days or I could simple send an additional $320.00 ( total payments now 640). He emailed that both payments would be returned to me when the loan hit my bank account and offered to stay on the phone with me. When it came time to transfer the loan money, James stipulated that it was late (now 8pm) and although it usually takes 10 mins it would not be there until the next day about 12pm. It is now 2:44pm the next day and I have not received my loan nor my refunded amount of $640 and James has stopped answering the phone. His address is listed as manhattan 529 West 53rd Street New York, NY, however I believe this to be a virtual office. In reading more in depth about his company on their website, I found another company listed as a DBA called RENTOMONEY in their privacy policy and T&C on their site. Neither company has been reported to ScamPulse.com as yet nor so the have substantial negative reviews which would cause me to believe this was a scam. At this point I would just like my money back if possible. I have all the emails and the bitcoin addresses if needed. I just want to stop anyone else from going through this. I am unemployed and I barely had enough money to give. Here is his BTC Address : bc1qexaya4y9klsqa2h307kr2g69ckr929hqgagv3x
