I applied for a $5,000 loan. In two weeks I was sent two conterfeit official checks from the bank of Pannonia Federal Credit Union. I was told that to get the loan because of my credit history I would have to pay $1000. I was sent one check for $1000 and a 2nd one for $4000. I was told to cash the $1000.00 check and wire the money and then the hold would be removed from the $4000 check. I' m said to say that I cash the $1000.00 check and sent the funds. And later deposit the $4000 check into my bank account.

Since then my Bank account has been closed. The checks looked real Even a Rub Here print that changed colors, from pink to white! Then, when I tried to call Chris Myers, there was no answer. His listed number was 1-800-897-4633 Ext 3110 you get the message that he not available. Then when I called the main number listed on the website 1-877-841-9587, it says " We are experiencing high call volume and all of our representatives are busy, please leave a message or call back" and you got this message no matter the time of day or night you call. I thought I would never fall for a scam like this but I guess with bad times we all are looking for a quick fix! We need to put this company out of busniess

As Prissy stated - info has been available on this scam for years!

How to identify and avoid this scam - the mistake you made was not educating yourself on the LEGAL loan process before you started looking for a loan.
