Complaint Review: Oakdale Lending Group-Sharon Wells Victor Ellis

I searched for loans online so I could get my bills paid off. I was contacted by Oakdale Lending Group saying that I had been approved for the $12,500 loan that I had applied for. I received the contract and it stated that I needed to send 7 months of loan payments ($1680.00 plus the $33.60 fee to send). The loan officer on the contract was Sharon Wells. I took out payday loans for that amount so I could get this loan. I had to send the $1680.00 via MONEYGRAM to an individual in Canada by the name of Patricia Arbour. This should have been a red flag yesterday on Friday when I sent it. I received a phone call from Mr. Victor Ellis (11/10/08) stating that there was a complication in regards to the loan. He said that the insurance adjustor for the lender did an assessment and didn't feel that I paid enough money to them so I needed to send them anouter $1680.00 to secure the loan and then I would receive the $12,500 into my account. He said that my options were to have my money refunded to me ($1680.00) or to send the other $1680. I told him that I would call him back because I was frustrated. After thinking about it and doing some extensive research online, I realized that I just got scammed. I tried to call him back to tell him that I wanted my money back but I got voicemail and I left him a message. Needless to say I haven't heard back from him. 3

They have a copy of my Driver's License, they have my personal banking information as well as my $1680.00. Not only am I out the $1680, I am out the $750 in fees that it will cost me to pay back all of the payday loans
