Centurian investments centurian financial Approved me for a loan of $7000. I signed a contract accepting a collateral. Once paid they said I owed them $699 more. Somerset Nationwide
A couple weeks ago my wife and I were looking online for a bad credit loan. Within a day I got the message that I was approved for $7000. I was a little weary but I am in a rut right now so it sounded nice. So they sent an email and all information. Everything seemed real. On the day of our transaction for the first few hours of the day no one answered the phone. Finally someone called back not the original person I was dealing with. The next morning with no funds in our account the lady tells us we sent the wrong amount and we needed to send the up to $700 more . When we didn't have that to send they said they would send a refund that would take up to 15 days. Well today is day 14 .. No money in our account and now the phone number goes to busy .

You won't be seeing a refund. This is a scam to get you to send untraceable cash to people you don't know. It's called the advance fee loan scam and it is one of the more prevalent scams in the Internet. In the future, if a lender asks you to send money to obtain a personal loan, you can be sure it's a scammer. It would be illegal for a legitimate lender to do this. Another tip off is that they will insist that you send money in a way that is not traceable (i.e. Western Union, Moneygram).
The FTC has a web page dedicated to this scam :
