Complaint Review: UNITED LOAN FUNDING- FRAUDULENT CANADIAN LOAN SCAM!!!!!!!!!

This is a classic loan fraud scheme running out of Canada. There is NO COMPANY and their address is a PO Box.

My daughter, a college freshman, sent them $1000 for "first six months of loan payments" and $500 for "insurance" for a supposed $10,000 student. The money was wired via WESTERN UNION Quick Collect, which cannot be recovered because of the international transfer.

They sent out fake loan documents, including a 'Note'. They also have EVERY piece of her personal information, including SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, ADDRESS, DATE OF BIRTH AND BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER from the wire transfer. We have a fraud alert on her credit and will continue to monitor it.

I contacted the Florida Department of Finance and they have open reports on the company but CANNOT DO ANYTHING AS THERE IS NO PHYSICAL OPERATION IN FLORIDA, OR IN THE US. I also filed a claim with Western Union, who will begin a fraud investigation, but could not confirm prior complaints.

****PROBLEM IS THE WEBSITE IS STILL UP AND ACTIVE AND OPERATING OUT OF CANADA****

Beware and DO YOUR RESEARCH very well, on line, on the phone, with your state's Finance department, the Better Business bureau and, of course, THE RIPOFF REPORT. There is an existing RipOff Report on the company. Ugly, expensive lesson for college students, and others!!!
