So I like others I have seen on here fell for this scam! I was first contacted by James Gaston saying that I was approved for an $8,000 Loan. I was thrilled as my credit isn't the greatest and badly needed the money to pay off some debts. He tells me all the information and says I need to send $956 to a Pamela Matthews in Canada because that was were my lendor was located. I told him I didn't have that kinda of money that's why I needed the $8000 to begin with. He asked if I could borrow it from anyone that I would have the loan the very next day and I could just pay them the money back. I said I would see what I could do. So I asked my Parents and they said ok we'll give you $1,000 to get this loan and so off it went to Pamela in Thornhill, Ontario. This was on January 25th. The Next day no loan was in my bank so I called them and James said my file was transfered to Douglas Fisher the Manager of the Company. So I spoke to Doug Fisher and he said that there had been an issue with the loan and needed another $956 to finalize it. So like a Dummy I asked for more money and sent it off to Canada once again 3 days later on January 28th. The 29th Comes and no money arrives so now I'm really angry and wondering did I just screw myself over?? The 29th went by with no contact as when you call the number its an automated machine that asks who is calling, Everytime I would say my name it would direct me to voicemail. So I decided to not say anything and sure enough I got a hold of them Doug Fisher said that the lendor had backed out of the loan and that they were going to sue them for breach of contract etc. He then goes and says he can get me a larger loan but would need another 10 months worth of payments i immeditaly said No and that I want my money back NOW. He said that they can't do anything until Feb 22nd cause of their cycle or something. Right then and there I shouldve contacted the authorities cause almost a full month to get a refund seemed ridiculous! But me not acting on my insticts leaves me here out almost $2,000. I did call him on the 19th to make sure everything was all set for the 22nd refund and he said yea its all set money will be in your account first thing in the morning. Yea Right. Calls to that number at first were just the automated recording saying Goodbye now its just Busy! I called New York Fraud Dept and suggest everyone do so! 1-718-330-1805. I was told to goto my local police and file a report and did so I am going to go back tomorrow to bring all these reports from everyone else who got ripped off and get the report to fax to New York Fraud. I suggest everyone who this happened to contact Western Union they can give u where the Money was picked up, and sure enough where I sent mine it was picked up in a different place. They can't give you the exact locale but they will open a fraud case on the western union payments you made and your local police can contact them for exact Location of Pick Up! I am going to be going to Massachusetts State Police also on Wednesday and will also be contacting Canadian Authorities. I suggest you all do the same if you have not done so already! FBI will probably be my next step. I also suggest Closing your bank accounts and opening new ones if you haven't done so as they do you have your info and could withdraw funds at a moments notice. Also if you gave them Social Security Numbers contact them about possible Identity Theft. I highly doubt the would mess with Social numbers as that would be the slip up that would land them in jail but you never know. I hope we catch these b***erds so we can all get our money back and these scumbags land in jail for Life!
