Ill start off by saying I was looking for a loan online. I came across VictoriaFinancialServices.com. I applied to the site and recieved an email. I spoke to a Laura Lee-Jones, who supposedly, is a Senior loan officer. She sent a contract with the option to use an insurance place, to help me if I lose my job during repayment time.
Everything seemed legitamate. So, I had to put a deposit of $480.00. The method from here seemed questionable. She asked me to send the deposit via Western Union to a guy named Eddy Refuse. None the less, I was deperate. So, I went through with it. I called Mrs. Lee, immediately, and got a voice message. She soon calls me back, off of a completely different number,
She tells me I should recieve the loan of $3000 by noon, the next day. So, I didn't question it. Next day, noon, passes by, and I recieve no calls or emails from her. Nor the loan. So, for two hours, I'm calling the company and I come across the receptionist. I explained my situation to her, and she tells me that I have to pay a processing fee.
So, now, I'm very worried. Mrs. Lee again, is supposedly the senior loan officer, didn't tell me anything about a processing fee. So, I lashed out at her telling the receptionist that this is rediculous. So, she hangs up on me. I call the first number that I contacted Mrs. Lee with, but to no avail. The voicemail message worried me a bit. It said the Magic Jack customer you called is unavailable. Why is a loan place using a cheap way for phone service.
Finally, after hours of not hearing from her, Mrs. Lee contacts me, on a blocked number. She tells me, that the insurance place had concerns about my status and requested an additional $480 to the same person. I get completely mad a skeptical. So, I asked for a refund of my money. She tells me that it will take 28 weeks until I see the money again. Being that I was angry, She wanted me to wait till I was calm to make a decision.
The next day, I contacted Mrs Lee and told her I will put down the money, if she promises me, that nothing else will come up, and I'll get the loan. Which, she did, so I put the money through Western Union to the Eddy Refuse guy. Today, I awaited the loan, anxiously. Midday comes, and still no loan. So, I call Mrs. Lee again. She apologizes and said I should recieve it by 1pm. 1:30pm comes, and I call her yet again. She tells me that their offices have been trying to call me. She forwards me to them and the woman says I have to put down more money, which is $360, because I'm being taxed for it.
So now, I'm thinking, I'm being ripped completely off. What's stopping them for charging me even more if I did put that down. So, I requested my money back to be paid in full, and that I'm not waiting said amount of weeks for my money back. Anyone reading this, please stay away from this company.

You were scammed - twice by the same people
AUTHOR: FloridaNative - ()
SUBMITTED: Friday, January 10, 2014
This is a long running scam called the Advance Fee Loan Scam. You can read about it on FTC(dot)gove along with many other scams.
You described the scam perfectly. The "loan officer" continues to ask you to send money through Western Union or Green Dot or any other untraceable method were the receiver can not be verified until you catch onto the scam. You have lost your money. There will not be a refund in 28 weeks like they say. Your money is lost.
You can file a police report, but it won't help you get your money back. The scammers set it up so that they can't be traced.
Next time someone asks you to send money to a stranger via an untraceable method, just say no. Read up on the FTC(dot)gov scams so you can avoid them in the future.
