a1CashAdvance Total scam for internet loan Internet

It is unfortunate that you learned the hard way by sending funds. If you go to the FTC(dot)gov website it will tell you where to file the reports (police report, FTC report, and other places).

You probably won't see a return of your funds, but it is still a good idea to file the police and other reports.

While you are on the FTC website take a look at the 'consumer scams' section so you can see the pattern and recognize when someone is trying to get one over on you.

This particular scam is known as the Advance Fee Loan Scam. It sometimes is followed up by the Payday Loan Collections scam even though you weren't funded by any loan at all. So be on the lookout.

There are so many scammers - and some countries make an entire economy with these illegal activities that catching them is virtually impossible. You are the first line of defense against them. All of us as consumers have to watch out for our wallets. Anytime someone asks for an upfront fee for a loan - it is a true indicater that it is a scam because upfront fees are illegal for consumer loans here in the US.

Good luck. Sorry for your troubles.
