Gastley Investments Corp Back on 09/09/09, I was taken for a ride by Gastley Investments Corp. I was told that I was approved for $7500 loan but had to send them $762 for insurance. No funds has been put in my account yet. Please be careful!!! This company is a rip off. Complete thieves!! I don't won't anyone else to experience this kind of thing! Portland Maine
* : OK, here's some advice.
Lets stand together! I went online to apply for a personal loan. A few days later, I was contacted by Gastley Investments Corp and was told that I had been approved for $7500 loan.
I was told that I had to wire $762 by Western Union to pay for the insurance of the loan.
After wiring the money, I was called and then told that I had to wire another $750 for the taxes on the loan. I told them that I didn't have any more money to send them. Now they won't even give me my money back I wired to them!! Please give me some advice.

You have been scammed. There is no loan company. Just a couple of scammers with throwaway cell phones and Internet access. You won't be seeing your money back anytime soon. You've fallen for the "advance fee loan scam" which is detailed at the FTC's website here :

You didn't mention it, but did you send the Western Union payment to Canada? This is common in this scam because no U.S. law enforcement agency has jurisdiction in Canada. Catching the scammer would require a cooperative effort between U.S. and Canadian law enforcement. Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.
In the future, anytime someone you don't know requires fund sent via Western Union or Moneygram, you are being scammed. This is one of the only ways that scammers can get your cash without leaving a paper trail.
