Complaint Review: AmeriTrust Lending Services

I recieved a phone call from Paul Meyer. He said he is with AmeriTrust Lending Services and that I have been approved for a loan for $5000.

He said I need to come up with $900 for so called collateral payments. He said this is not a fee and the money will go toward the principal.

He said to go to walmart and get a money gram and make it out to Susan Fowler in Sherwood Alberta Canada. I did all this.

At the last minute I get a call from someone in customer service saying there was a problem and that the lender wanted me to send another $900. I told him to forget it and that I changed my mind and to send me back my money. He said that I would get my money back Nov. 29th.
Well here it is Dec 1st and still no money.

I tried to call these people and the phone has been disconnected and their website has been shut down. Now what do I do? I know I'm not the only person who got scammed by these people. I just wish I could get my money back.
