I received a phone call from Kimberly Scott. She stated that I was approved for $3000.00 loan. I ask how she got a hold of my phone number she said off of the loan that I had applied for. She asked how I wanted the money to be sent to me. She said the quickest way would be bank account. I told her I only had a debit card and gave her the information. But I got nothing So she went on and told me how to get the collateral done and have my loan within minutes. First, she ask for $408.75. I wired it. Then she called me again wanting more collateral. By then I asled if this company was legit. She said it was. So I made another wire of $204.45 At this time she stated that I was getting my fees all reimbursed along with the $3000.00 in 45 mins. She then called again for more collateral. The same amount of $204.44. By this time I told herIm mot sending any more money just to get loan. She then stated that her manager will handle it from here. Only because I ask for my refund. The manager calls me and states that the refund will take a month to process. At this time I daid its not goin to take a month because I just sent them. Then later manager called again and said the refund is going to take a month and a half. Its been more than a month now and I haven't got anything from Livingston Mometary Group. My total is at $700 - $800 roughly. I tried calling them back time and time again. But now I get this message saying that the number us no longer in use. I tried emailing Kimberly Scott and nothing. Just brick walls. I even went on website and still no response. Please help me get my money back. They just ripped me off Ada Wilson (((redacted)))

That money you sent is gone. There was no loan. Never was going to be a loan. They keep making up fees for you to send until you either catch on that it is a scam or you run out of money.
Go to FTC(dot)gov and read up on Advance Fee Loan scams and you will see it is just as you describe. You can report them to the FTC but it is unlikely that you will ever see your funds again. You can also file a police report.
Never send money to a lender for a loan in advance of the loan. It is always a scam to get your money.
