I was also scammed by this company. I just filed a report about the exact same thing. They promised me $5000.00 if I sent $850.00..... and of course NO MONEY showed up in my account. THen they told me to send more money to get a higher loan. At this point I was pretty convinced it was a scam. I told them I wanted my money back. They promised to send me a check in 4-6 weeks... it has been 9 weeks and no check. I call and call and call... now they have blocked my number. I am NOT HAPPY! I am a single mom and $800.00 is a lot of money to me. What can we do????

you're a victim of a variant of the "advanced fee loan scam." you can read about this at the FTC website www.ftc.gov I'll guess you sent the money to someone in Canada as that is the "current" version of this scam. You should report this to the FBI and the Canadian Royal Mounted Police. Both agencies have websites where you can file a fraud complaint. Sorry, but your money is long gone.
