Whenever you are required to WIRE money for anything its a SCAM! Once you wire the money - you will never get it back! no legitimate lender would have that has a requirement - period! Its also ILLEGAL to request a security deposit like these scammers do. go to the federal trade commission website and look under Consumer Protection..

I want to explain to everyone that my husband and I were very cautious of scammers. But this particular one had loan documents and we had to sign them with all of our figures on it and everything. We also had to fax it back. Very convincing and devious. But, in the end God with let her know what she did was wrong. I hope it was all worth it and that her consious can bear all the turmoil she has created in our lives. Given hope when all else fails to individuals who really need it, is selfish and demeaning. She will see the light one day.

This is one of the more common scams on the Internet these days. Don't bother trying to get in touch with the "company" because there is no such company. What you did was to send an untraceable moneygram to someone you don't know. Legit loans do not require you to pay money up front. You are dealing with scammers that have Internet access and throwaway cell phones. You can expect the phone number to go dead within a few weeks.
