Centurian Investments Approved loan and now cant reach them Nationwide Nationwide
I have been working with Tracey Smith on this loan process. We were approved for a loan for $20,000. I sent all the necessary paperwork to them and was told that I was given 4 options to release the funds for the loan. I chose to give them monetary collateral of $1480. I was told to Western Union that to their office that day and the funds would be released within 4 to 6 hours. We waited all nite and the funds never came. I called them again the next day and Tracey said that the lendor said I needed more for collateral. I told them I didnt have it and they would file a reimbursement and it would take 2 weeks. So I wrote an email to their legal dept and their customer service dept about how we were deceived by contract. Tracey then contacted me again and said they knocked off $700 and I give them another $900 they will release the funds. I did and that was Thursday May 21. She said my funds would be in my account within 2-3 hours. They never came. I called all day Friday and got voice mail after voice mail. I didnt know if anyone was in the office b/c of the holiday so I waited until Tuesday to call. When I called on Tuesday all I am getting is a busy signal?

You still seem to be under the impression that you are dealing with an actual lending company. You have actually been dealing with Internet scammers. This is called the Advance Fee Loan scam and it has been around for many years. The scammers will pretend to offer a loan in order to get you to send untraceable cash transfers to someone you don't know. There is no legal department or office and no one is using their real names. After they have scammed some money using a particular company name and phone number, they just change the name and phone to start all over again. That's probably why you're getting a busy signal.
Legitimate lenders cannot legally charge you "monetary collateral" or have you make advance payments on a personal loan. Only scammers do that. Another tip off is the exlusive use of untraceable money transfers.
The FTC has a web page that covers this type of scam here :
