Complaint Review: Tribeca Lending

I was scammed by this so called company. I got a call saying that they reccieved my application. They couldn't have picked a better time because at the time I was desperate for a loan. I couldn't quite remember apply for it but I thought hey they are syaing I could get approved. So they wanted me to confirm some info. I did and they said to call them back in 30 mins. I called back and he said congratulations you have been approved.

He then proceeded to tell me that I needed to make a deposit of my first 3 months payments wich equaled 677.00. Now mind you at this point I did gt a bit iffy about it but like I said I was desperate. I sent the money to a lady in canada wich again didn't make sense as to why I had to send it to one individual person. Why wouldn't I have sent it to the lenders company?

I then waited the 24 hrs to recieve my money. After the 24 hrs was up I called the guy who did my loan. He said that the money should be there and that I should contact customer service. So I did and got a man who said that thee lenders final approval was denied and them more money. (keep in mind that everytime i called customer service I got the same guy EVERY TIME wich you know is nigh to impossible with a real company)

After finding out that I would have to send them another 677.00 I told them no and that it was ridiculous to send them so much mony for a 5000.00 loan. Kinda defeats the purpose. I then requested a refund which I was told would come back to me in 15-30 days by mail. Don't ya know I never got my money

Now when I try to reach the company via fax email or phone of course I hit dead ends. This comapny is a complete scam. Now keep in mind that through the entire proscess of this loan somewhere in my mind I was thinking that this could not be right; there were a few to many "off" things. But once again to be said I was desperate. But I have a peice of advice for anyone who reads this. Always go with your gut instinct with matter such as these. If it seems o you in anyway that it could be a scam BACK OUT IMMEDIATELY.
