First Union Financial Group ; Saul Goldstien, Chelsea Hogan & Mr. Sills Ripped me off for over $1800. by promissing me a loan called it a collateral pamt. New York New York
I had applied for a loan on line and got info on F.U.F.G. ,and thought it sounded realy good .Couldnt find anything on them in the BBB, but still did some research and thought they were legitamate. Only to find out later it was only a scam taking advantage of people like myself, who needed a loan.
I also was to recieve $6,000.00 and had to pay what they called a collateral payment since I had no collateral , this came to the amount of a little over $1,800.00 .I also reported them to the F B I , and the F T C

Dale, If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. A little common sense goes a long way here. There is no magic loan fairy. If you cannot get a loan locally at a bank, credit union, or finance company, you cannot get one online either. FYI..Advance fee loans of any kind are illegal. Then, there is the method of sending in the advance fee that should really raise the big red flags to anyone with a shred of common sense. Any type of wire service like Western Union should be an immediate deal breaker. This is like opening your window and handing cash to someone walking by. It is gone. Never let desperation override good old common sense. Take a day or two to thoroughly check someone out before sending money to them. You can actually do this on the internet in just a few minutes. Also, check out the business address to make sure it is real, and is not a commercial amailbox. Also verify a LISTED, BUSINESS phone# that has a local exchange to the area they are in. Toll free #'s as the only means of contact are bad news, as those numbers are now totally portable, and not tied to a landline local#, or physical address. You need to give us more information here on how you sent them the money, how you transmitted the application, etc.

Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, you have been scammed! That money you sent is likely gone forever! The FBI isn't going to get it back. let me guess, you sent this money thru Western Union?? To a foreign country? Yup, you'll never see that money again! Chalk it up to experience and move on.
