Advance America Marvin Amborn C.E.O.Paul EaginBrandon Salton Acct. Exec. My G/F was approved for a loan, now every day they want us to send them money 883.79 sent and no loan Riverbank California
I applied for a loan online on 9/9/2015 at this time I was approved for 4000.00 and told to go to Western Union to make my 1st payment of 220.00 as a good faith committment. I made the western union payment payable to Jacob Berry and was advised that my 4220.00 payment would arrive in my checking account the following day. Via eamil I received the confirmation for the loan in the amount of 4400.00.
Ever since this initial contact there has been one problem after another. I was told to Western Union 690.00 ..then 299.00 in addition to 364.74..all of this totaling approx 1573.79. I made all these payments each time being told it was the last problem to be fixed.
Now I am being told yet again if I wire them 600.00 more the loan will be finalized.
I am at a loss I do believe this to be fraud, I am at my witts end. Someone please help me.

You were scammed - your money is gone

Your suspicions are right - you have been scammed.
It is not legal for any lender to charge you up front fees for a consumer loan.
Go to FTC(dot)gov and look up payday loan scams to see what to do to report these scammers.
Don't contact them again. Don't send them any more money. If you have provided sensitive personal information, like your bank account numbers, then close your account and open another one.
NEVER send money to a stranger via Western Union or Money Gram or any reloadable card. This is your tip off that it is a scam. The FTC website will have a bunch of tips for you on how to avoid this in the future.
