He transferred me to Sam Martin who verifies my information and said hold on while I transfer the money now this was about 6:30 Pm banks are already closed so I hold after about 3 minutes he comes back to the phone and said I have to call him back tomorrow because the banks are closed to make sure I call him back so he can transfer the money. After I got off the phone with him I research the company this company has a history of SCAMS so that why I am reporting this one because it didn’t sound right.

Do not take a call about applications you haven’t submitted yet. When looking for a loan. I received a call stating that they got my application and to call me. But I had not even finished one. They talked about paying a fee for credit insurance and for taxes. It is not real. The manager is not real.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

I was in need of a small loan. Because my personal credit history is bad I was denied several times. This company came back and said they could loan me $6000. They said they would send a check for that amount, but I had to pay a fee. Initially I was okay with it. Every time they said they would send the check, they would call me back to say there was an additional fee. I told them I couldn’t pay it. They told me they would send me an additional amount in the check, but I had to pay the fee first. The fees have really multiplied. The check they will send has now reached an amount over $24,000. I still have no money. The agent is very smooth talking. He kept telling me that the check could be cashed at any bank. I have reached the point of pure disgust with myself for letting this scam get this far.

I was contacted by this company first choice personal loans. They gave a a confirmation number. They called me back and said because your credit score is low I would have to go to walmart and get a $100 Apple card and he asked for the number off the back to activate my account that was insurance . So I did. Then I called them back he said between Wal-Mart and money gram there is a fee of $250 I told them I do not have that he said just get $150 more and we will release the funds so I did. I called back and he said he couldn’t do anything unless I had the extra $100. I told him I couldnt. They said I would get a refund in 48 hours and nothing. The first person I talked to was Rex White. Then I spoke with the senior advisor Sam Martin. I called one last time and asked where is my refund he told me that the rules changed if I wanted any money back or the loan I would have to pay the $100.

Told me because of a low credit score I could pay $50 for insurance to cover in case I defaulted. I agreed to that and was assured there would not be further charges. Then when they were to forward the money via Money Gram I was told that they needed another $229.99 ($230) to cover the Money Gram fees. He, Larry, claiming to be the Manager, in the Buffalo NY office Phone number 716-254-6119 said that due to it being a business transaction I would be required to pay more charges. I requested that he forward the money to my bank account at Golden 1 Credit union. He said that since the money has already been transferred to Money Gram he could not pull it back. He then wanted to talk to another person in his office and maybe he could accept just $100. He was gone for only about 4 seconds and came back and said yes he could do it with only $100 instead. I said OK and went in and bought 2 more iTunes cards for $50 each.Gave him the numbers and he put me on hold for about 2 minutes. When he came back he announced that the balance of $130 would have to be made to conclude the transaction. I assured him there was no other money available. He got very angry with me and I told hem that this was a scam as fees like that aren’t charged by reputable loan companies. Then because I told him it was a scam he unleashed a steam of language that should never be spoken to a business client. I got angry and unleashed some language to him and hung up He called me back and I requested his corporate headquarters office. He gave me the address I used here. He has since called me 3 times more since this happened on Saturday 3/17/2018. I told him that there was no more money and to get off my phone.. I requested a refund of the $150 I paid him via iTunes cards (3 @ $50ea). He said no there would be no refund that was his now. He said that there were branch offices in New York, California and Corp office in Gilbert, Arizona
