Complaint Review: Softron Financial

I applied for a loan through Softron Financial and was dealing with Derek Hatcher - I needed to send "good faith" money of $1,250 to secure my loan - I did and two days later he told me I would now have to pay $900 for insurance - I told him immediately that I did not want to proceed with the loan and to please refund my money. He said it would take about 2-3 weeks for me to receive the money. I am still waiting - they are definitely rip-off people - I had to wire the money to a person in Canada and western union would not release the funds unless I assured them I knew who I was sending the money to - stupid me? yes!!!! I told them to release the funds and all would be well. How foolish of me to think that sending cash to someone in Canada was not a great big red flag - I blame no one but myself - but I would like to get the word out there that this company is not to be dealt with.

thank you
