Liberty Mutual Financial Services Fraudulent Manhatten New York

I applied for a personal loan through the company "Liberty Mutual Financial Services" and was approved for the amount of $18,000. They requested a "loan premium" in the amount of $1,457.72, which I sent western union to a person named Olivia Jones.

Four days later, I was asked to send another $599.00 "allocation" fee before the funds would be transeferred to my account. Fortunately, I then realized that this was a scam.

Unfortunately, in speaking with the Better Business Bureau, the Dept of Labor and the Atty Generals office, I have learned that it is not likely I will see that money again.

In an attempt to help my family, I have instead done the opposite, am having to work many overtime hours, AND it's Christmas!
