I was searching the internet to apply for a personal loan to do a debt consolidation. UL Services, LLC came up. I read the inforamation and provided my details to request a loan. The next day I received an email stating that I was approved; however an load collateral one insurance amt was required. I did question the amount any why it is being asked and it was explained that it was a good faith payment and that the money would be applied to the end of the term of my loan. I sent the information and have been corresponding with them in regards to receipt of my payment. I for some reason decided to do more searches online regarding the company and came across that this is a fraud. I am very shocked; considering I did do a check initially to ensure it wasnt but for some reason I did not get any hits. I am so frustrated at this point because I just dont have that kind of money laying around. I did not pay my credit cards in hopes that this check would be here and I would pay off all my bills. Now I am in even a bigger mess. Here is a copy of the email I received; to all please beware. Any assistance from anyone would be greatly appreciated to see if I can at least recope the money I lost.
