Said I was approved for %5,000 personal loan 36 month term 1.75 % APR. NO HIDDEN FEES OR OTHER CHARGES. PRETTY GOOD . . . if only! Sadly I was scammed. Asked me to buy $50 Green Dot "to establish my identity." Then pay a $97 "wire transfer fee, charged by my bank," they said. "This is your money, all will be returned when the loan is transferred." We had a problem with your bank, now we need a $67 Green Dot for a direct payment to you from Western Union . . ." When I said I would go to Western Union tomorrow and pay them in cash, they said "no that wont work, you need to do it tonight." That's when I checked the internet and reverse checked their phone number, finding it to be a boiler room scamm center in Orlando. I also called Western Union with the MTCN number and another number I was to call to give this final Green Dot payment to. Western Union was very helpful but sadly said they had no MTCN number or reference to the phone number I was given. Sadly this has hurt me at a time when I am trying to raise money for my ill wife and to get out from under a crushing debt by kicking the can down the road - same as the Federal Govt. so to speak. VERY SAD, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY IS :( sHOULD HAV BOUGHT A lotto TICKET!
