So a stranger knocks on your door and asks for a wad of cash and promises to return later with a bag of money. Sorry to say but your money is gone. This is the reason advance fee loans are illegal in the U.S. and Canada. Although legitimate lenders may charge a fee, it is generally deducted from the loan amount.
Judging from the number of ripoff reports of this type I see every day, this type of scam isn't going away very soon.
