Dominion Lending Inc Took a $850 deposit for a $5000 loan & we never received the loan or the deposit back Ripoff Greer South Carolina

Ed,

Advance fee loans of any kind are illegal.

Even if they call it insurance, or whatever. Illegal.

This is a common scam. Let me guess, they told you to send the $850 by Western Union, right? If so, was it sent to an individual or a business?

And, WHO made first contact? Was it them or did you seek them out? Did you respond to a spam email?

You should gather up any information you have on the entire transaction and file a complaint with the FBI Financial Crimes Unit.

You said you 'applied" for a personal loan. Does this mean you gave them your SS#, DOB, etc? If so, you better file a fraud alert with the FTC and the local police, as well as put an alert on each credit bureau. otherwise, they can clean you out.

Do this right away.
