I called an ad in the paper to apply for a loan. A woman answered and asked me what type of loan and for how much and than told me someone would be contacting me in regards to the loan.
It was 3 days later a Mr. Jerry Smithfield contacted me and asked me for imformation to check my credit history.
He than called me back and said that I qualified for a 5,000 loan and that my credit was not as bad as I thought. He was very good at convincing me they were honest.
He than faxed me a contract to sign to be faxed back. He than told me I needed to wire Western Union 600.00. That an insurance broker would pick up the money and my loan would be deposited into my checking account. He told me the 600.00 was to guarntee the loan if anything happened and I could not afford to pay it back. He alos told me they would refund me the wire money fee and the 600.00 if I did not get the loan but that I had nothing to worry about cuz the 600.00 secured the loan.
I have not received the loan and Jerry Smithfield keeps telling me the company will deposit the money by the morning. He also told me he was not scamming me and to be paticent that the money will be in my account.
I also tried to get a hold of the other people in the company but cannot. I also did some searching myself and the address Jerry Smithfield gave me is a residential.
I asked him for a phone number for the insurance broker and he said he had no # that he would tell them to call me.
I think something needs to be done to this company for they have apparently scammed anthor woman.
Also the money was wired to canada to a Garfield Jackman. In regards has anyone been scammed like me and what did you do to get the money back?? I can't afford the rip-off book and the 600.00 took me a year to save.

I called the ftc and reported this company. I also filed a police report. Which I was told the money sent is a loss they have several people involved in this crime. It is a orginazed crime ring and they are good.
Come to find out someone else here in Price wired them 2.800 for a 40.000 loan. These people are going to be very hard to catch unless everyone goes national with the media.
Also everyone seems to be wiring the funds to Canada and there is a hotline # to call and if people call and give all these different names than the Canadian mounties can try and stop them from using their Western Unions. The phone buster # for Canada is 1-888-495-8501.
I'm going all the way and will be going to Fox news and anyone else I can. These people need to be stoped. I'm losing everything due to them. 600.00 is alot to me and I feel for all the other people who lost more. BUT the only way to stop them is for everyone to report to every agency possible and the media.
