Transcredit Financial advance fee loan scam Ripoff Bellevue Washington
Back to the old addage - If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
After promising a loan in the amt of $5000, I was told my credit required me to send 5 pymts to secure the loan. I sent it. Then after final review, they needed another 5 pymts.
$1500 later I have no loan. Their website is down and no one answers the phone. They have my money, my bank acct, routing and ss numbers and are nowhere to be found. I did some research (after the fact obviously) apparently they do not operate at the stated address, they're not even licensed to operate in the state of WA.
Please learn from my mistake. It is a very unpleasant experience!

I contacted the Attorney General in Washington and was referred to internet fraud department. The lady had me fax the documents that were faxed to us and gave me the website to file the formal complaint. The website is www.ifccfbi.gov. From the sounds of things, they have scammed alot of people out of alot of money. My husband was approved for $7000.00 and was told to money gram $909 dollars, then told by a Anthony Lawson that he needed to send another $700.00. Lost $1700.00 total to the jerk-offs. He sent money grams to a Jeffrey Olson in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We have had to close the checking account and reopen a new one.
