Capital Lending Scam, Upfront Money, Ripoff Loan Portland Maine

This company contacted us telling us we qualified for a $5000 loan. They told us we would need a cosigner. No problem, we had one. Well, they found something wrong with cosigner (even though they had good credit). They informed us that if we payed an "insurance" fee of $930 the money would be wired into our account. We sent the money Western Union so they could receive it immediately and that's when it got even more fun. They had to email us a contract and it would be there within an hour.

After several days we got angry and contacted her "supervisor". This woman was worse than the other. The person who was handling our loan was Marta Walsh. She then proceeded to tell us the bank wouldn't accept it. We had not even given them our account information. We spoke with our bank who told us that there was no such transaction attempted. We then called back and were told they didn't do it because our specific bank wouldn't allow such a transfer. We called the bank again, they said they would and told us to have the company call them and they would verify all the needed information. You guessed it, they refused to call and kept stating that their transmitting information was different.

We contacted them and told them we wanted a refund or they could mail the loan to us "overnight". They don't mail either apparently. And, if we want a refund, it will take 30 days. Funny, we had to send it Western Union. We have contacted the Attorney General, the Portland police department and the Better Business Bureau. Don't let them take you. NEVER send money up front. We learned the hard way.
