Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I was e-mailed a loan application offer. The scammer seemed like a very caring and personable being.He works for a very large and reputable company which deals with all types of finances,loans,mortgages,personal,small businesses etc. I applied for a $70,000 loan at 3.5% interest rate. They scammed me the following amounts: $509 lawyer fee; $1400 2% loan fee; $2512 Wire Transfer Charge; $1600 Loan Tax for IRS because of unsecured loan. Then they said I gave them the wrong routing number to my Bank Account.They promised, if I send them $2500 priority mail,they will send someone to personally hand me a cashiers check the next day for $78,000.Wow,after explaining all this, I really feel ashamed of myself. They seem so caring and reassuring that it was a legitimate deal.
