Instant Lending Services Amanda Sullivan Scammed me out of more than $1100 Toledo Ohio
I was contacted by Amanda Sullivan at Instant Lending Services from Toledo, Ohio regarding a personal loan. I have been inquiring about loans to consolidate my debt, but not sure where she got my information. She said I was approved for a $3,000 loan, but due to my poor credit, I would need either a co-signer or first 4 payments ($543) as collateral. Because I didn't want to ask anyone to co-sign I agreed to make the first 4 payments. I sent the money western union to "Brain Grant" in Canada (I was told he was the direct lender). Once I made that payment, Amanda called back and said the lender required 4 more months of payments, but there company would give me a grant and I will get that Money back, because of the change in my credit within the last 5 days, probably from applying for loans. Once again I sent that payment western Union to Brian Grant. I then received a call from another female, didn't get her name though, that said Amanda had left for the day, but wanted to call me and tell me I needed to pay $500 more to insure the loan. That's when I realized I had been scammed for sure. I am a single mother and just lost the money I had for Christmas for my daughter. I really thought this was legit. I did go online and did not see any reports for this company being scammers. I hope these people can sleep at night realizing they have taken away from honest citizens
