Prudential Lending Bureau Paid a total of $1,600 in 3 increments to a "private lender" located in Ontario Canada. First 6 months of payments totaling $540, then 2nd 6 months of payments also totaling $540, and finally a 'insur Amelia, Ohio

I was scammed by a lender bureau advertising "bad credit" loans through the local newspaper. I was asked to send, at first, 6 months of payments totaling $540 (not including fees) in order to secure the loan due to my delinquent credit. I was then asked, after not receiving the funds as I was promised, to send another amount of 6-month payments for further security so that the "private lender" could release the funds safely knowing that I intended to pay it back.

Then for a 3rd and final time, I was asked to send an amount of $400 as an 'insurance' coverage option. After all 3 payments were made, I have still yet to receive any funds in my bank account and was lastly told that the bureau would be paying a $300 fee to release the funds from Canada to the US. A fee that I had the choice to pay myself if willing and in need of the funds "right away". Otherwise the manager I spoke with over the phone said that I was not responsible for this fee and that if I chose to have them pay it, I would only need to wait another 2 weeks to receive my loan, in full.
