Fidelity Lending I was on the internet looking for loan possibilities from companies and came across fidelity lending. I applied for an $8000 personal loan and did not hear from them for a couple of days. Then I received a phone call from Jacob Parker saying that I got a $8000 loan but would need to put down $2130 to secure it. A couple of days later I moneygrammed them cash to Oak Day BC. No money ever deposited! Del Ray Beach Florida

HI, thanks so much for writing this report. I am very sorry that this happened to you. Please contact the police and inform them of this incident. I know that this is not too helpful to you now but since you had this money stolen from you, it might quailify as a "loss or theft" for the purpose of filling your taxes....you might therefore be able to recover somewhat by the offset amount.
I seriously doubt that the police will be able to do much since the criminals live in a different country but, you never know, they might be able to catch them if there is a way to trace who actually came to pick up the money you wired (if they had to show some form of identification).
Again, I could not be more sorry about this and it did take guts to file here to protect others.
THANK YOU
