United American Financial they completely ripped me of I feel they took advantage of a bad situation,they got all of my money and I am still waiting to hear from someone Irvine, California

A person by the name of Tanya stevens contacted me about a loan application I filled out on the internet saying that I was approved for $15000 and that I had to send 10% of the loan amount which was $1500 to secure the loan they offered me a great interest rate and said that this loan would help me to rebuild my credit because it was a gov't based program; everything sounded pretty good although I was a little skepticle I still went through with it bieng a single mom and trying to relocate and purchase furniture.

not to make this complaint to drawn out I informed tanya stevens that I only could send a $1000 that day which was 4/30/08 and she said that would be fine they would accept that and I just had to send the other $500 within the 24 hours of them depositng $10000 in my account, I wired the $1000 vqa money gram to a jason stevenson in canada within the hour of our phone conversation.
I contacted them with the wiring info 3 hous later I called them back to see why the mony was not yet in my account she said that because of my credit they could'nt realease the funds until the whole $1500 was sent so I told her I would send the rest that Friday which was 5/02/08 and I did as promised on my end they that the loan would be processed with in an hour and this did not happen the work day ended and I still had no money in my account,I tried calling over the weekend I guess they were for scams on saturdays, monday came there was no answer at all tuesday I finally reached them and I spoke with an Allen Redick who told me I had to send an additional $350 for canadian taxes, by now I'm fed up I ask why do I need to send money for canadian taxes if your company is CA Mr.Redick told me that was for the insurance company which was in canada after going back and fourth he persuaded me to send the money this was 5/06/08 and I'm still broke and almost homeless I contacted this company on nuimerous occasions I finally reached them and asked for a refund because by now I know its a scam we argued for a few minutes before it was agrred that I can get a refund but I would have to wait 10-21 days.

today I contacted them 5/14/08 and conviently Mr. allen eredick had to go to another office and he wont be back until friday but if I wantwed my loan all I have to do is send $199 which is united american financial's fee and my loan would be issued today,I told them HELL NO they would not get another dime from me I want my $1850 back asap they said I still have to wait 10-21 days for that to happen.

if there is anyone who could help me with situaton it would be greatly appreciated IU am in desperate need.
