They told me I was approved for a $5000 loan but needed $450 sent to them for fees. I sent $450 through bitcoin. I questioned that and was told that’s what they use in Ontario. I even got a legitimate looking document sent to me. Then I was told that I needed to put down another $750 because of my bad credit, which I have. I got sucked in and sent it using bitcoin again. Then they all ghosted me. I sent an email to the general account and had a third associate call me. She said that’s too much to put down for a small loan and found a different lender that was willing to lend me $15000 with $1500 down. But that didn’t include the $1200 I already sent. I would have to wait for a refund from the first lender which should take 10 days. It has now been almost a month and I’ve received no refund. My calls and e-mails are not being answered. Then she told me the cheque was sent Monday (3 days ago) and I would have it Wednesday. If I didn’t receive it to call back but again no responses from them. Is there anything I can do further to try and get my money back. Obviously I’m short of cash and that why I went to them. Thank you in advance

I was trying to get a personal loan so I looked online. I found what I thought was a reputable company and submitted my information, I was declined the loan but started to receive emails and text messages from companies saying they could guarantee approvals. PlacGuarantee was one of the text messages I received. I clicked the website and it brought me to a very reputable looking application which I filled out. I was then texted a message saying that the loan was approved but it couldn’t be processed until I sent them a referral fee for finding me a lender. It came with a the amount of money you requested and what the fee was and to send in the form of a money order or cashiers check. A personal check would delay the loan by 2 weeks. I had 10 days to get the referral fee to the address they provided or the loan would cancel. I got the $100 money order and paid &35 to have it sent by 2 day express mail. I’m going to try and cancel the shipment but it may be too late. It’s terrible what these people are doing. Hard working people who find themselves in a financial jam are being even more financially abused by these people!! Please do something about this!! They say they can guarantee loans up to $50,000 with referral fees into the hundreds of dollars. I’d like to see them go to jail and have the courts take all their money!!! So disappointing!!

Was told to pay a 100% refundable referral fee of a $100.00 to find a lender that would provide me a loan of $5k. Said the fastest way to pay this referral fee was to overnight a money order, or cashier's check for the referral fee. They advised that if the refered companies they would provide me information with were not able provide me a loan, or if I wasn't happy with the results of the referral. I could get my referral fee back.

Now the are saying, I can request a partial refund. They said if I file a complaint then that voids their the refund process

They send that I was approved for a personal loan up to $8000. They continued wanting bank information, the bank routing number your account number and if you use online banking my user name and my password, which I refuse to give that to them, they continued saying they had to verify my checking account. Once again, I refuse to give out any information. As far as online banking they continued, and said that it was on hold for the $8000 personal loan, but it would only be good for one more day. I need to give them this information right away. If not, it would not be available the next day the other option is they wanted me to send them $250 to secure a personal loan for bank verification I also refused that too , I closed out my checking account and open up a new checking account along with my debit card so they have no information as far as my banking information with my bank

He was angry at me threw a fit. He’s a total scammer.

I was promised a 8000 dollar loan via Email from Lendind USA. I was contacted by the senior lending officer Victor Wallace. His phone number is 737-214-3338. I was told that I was already approved for the loan. He told me that he would correspondence with the FTC and 3 deposits would be placed into my checking account , one for 734.50 and one for 995.93 and another for 997.93 . I was instructed that these deposits had to be returned to him as proof and account verification. I was sent 2 bar codes to my phone and instructed to go to Walmart and use the codes to load my debit card for 700.00 and another amount of 1950.00

I was instructed to send him the receipts after I had made the transactions to his email. [email protected]

I immediately contacted my TD Bank fraud department after I realized this was a scam and saw my checking account in a negative balance for 698.00. The first deposit he made bounced and I was charged. The next 2 deposits have now have put my account in a negative balance of 2,692.59. All these fraudulent activities took place on 4/13/23.
