Complaint Review: ACCESS INTERNATIONAL C/O ISLAND HOLDINGS INC.

I saw their add in US magazine regarding getting a loan. I called and was told someone would contact me within 48 hours. Someone named Lisa called me within a week. I gave her my personal information including my social security number. She told me she would submit my information and would have an answer for me within 3-4 hours and to call her back that afternoon. She gave me her personal extension. When I called her back, she told me a bank had accepted me for a loan, and that I was approved for a $5000. She faxed me some papers and told me to fax them back to her which included my employer information, what bills I owed and balances and a retainer fee of $384.00 and a signed copy of the letter.

I was contemplating on sending this company my money because I really needed the loan. I finally decided to do it in a week on my payday. A few days later I decided to see if they were a legit company but couldn't find out, so I tried the internet. I put in their name and your website and other peoples stories about this company came up. THANK GOD. I almost became another victim of their scam. What upsets me is that they have my social security number and there's nothing I can do about it.
