Nationex Financial Had me send western union payment to Canada & never gave me my loan! Detroit, Michigan

Christopher,

First let me say that I am sorry to see that you got ripped off. However, this is a very old and very popular rip off.

The first sign of a rip off is someone asking you to send money by Western Union. NEVER send money to ANYONE by Western Union that you do not know personally or have done business with in the past. NEVER!!!

Second, NEVER send money to anyone you do not know who is outside the United States. You have no recourse as thay are not bound by our laws, and our authorities cannot help you. Since the "business" itself is in MI, you mat get some assistance. You need to send a written complaint to the FBI Financial Crimes Division.

Third, "advance fee" loans are illegal.

Now, please explain to us how the first contact was made. Did you respond to a pop up ad or a spam email? Or were you doing an internet search for loans?

No reputable lender is going to chase you down to give you money, especially $10,000! people with good credit often have a hard time getting a $10,000 personal loan!

And, did you wire the money to a specific person's name, or the business name?

Here is the contact info for them, NOTICE the GMAIL contact email which should have been another red flag. No reputable business uses free or disposable email addresses.

GOOD LUCK!!

We feel your pain!!!! We too were scammed by these CON-ARTISTS. But, there is light-- we out smarted them, and are in the process of getting our money back in full!!! I will not try to lead you into thinking you can get yours back too (because I honestly don't know), but I will tell you every step I am taking to get them busted and get my money back and just maybe you can too!!!

First, we followed every step you did to get the loan (actually borrowed money from a relative that didn't have it to give for the "insurance").

The second step we took, which should have been our first, but here goes: We researched, we found all of your stories (the night we wired our "insurance" payment) and got really, really, really scared. We immediatley filed a report with the FBI, so now they are investigating Nationex!!! --That web-site is www.ic3.gov

Next-- we logged onto Western Union's web-site and found that "Norman Blake" had not picked up the $800 we sent yet. We contacted Western Union to stop the payment--AND GUESS WHAT, they did (I have $800 waiting for me right now to go pick back up--the full amount plus sending fees).

We told them that these people are con-artists and someone should be there to pick them up when they go to pick up our payment that won't be there!! We will be contacting the Western Union Fraud Department first thing in the morning as instructed by the customer service rep and she told us there is a very good possibilty we will get our $1598 back that we sent and had already been picked up by "Mr. Blake."

As I said before, I don't know if you will get your money back too, but I strongly suggest that you contact West Union's Fraud Department: 1-800-325-6000, this is the customer service line, once you've reached them ask for the fraud department--please make sure you have your MTCN number which is on your receipt.

And it might be a good idea to go to the FBI's web-site and perhaps even the Federal Trade Commission.-- Just maybe they can help you get your money back too.

Even if you don't get your money back, feel good about this--THESE GUYS ARE GOING TO GET BUSTED VERY SHORTLY AND HAVE BEEN OUTSMARTED!!! Good Luck to you and I am truly sorry that you and I and everyone else got scammed!!!

I have learned a valuable lesson through all of this--DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE ANY MONEY IS EXCHANGED!!! Maybe we can reach out and save at least one person the headache and anguish we all have experienced. Again I wish you Good Luck!!!
