This guy said his name was Phillip Brandon at ext 110.He said I should send $320 via Western Union and they would turn around and release $3000 for a personal loan. I think this is a scam.

I got the same call and they wanted me to pay 325.00 dollars to western union also.  When I told them I did not have 325 they hung up.

These people called me and said I was approved for 3000 dollars and wanted me to send them 325 dollars to them through western union. I told them no and they hung up.

how to spot and avoid them

What were the terms of the loan? They said to pay $200 and I would get $3200 back. They told me it was at 6% for 18 months with a monthly payment of $200. Is this similar to what was offered? Did they supply a loan agreement of any kind? I have trouble understanding them on the phone. I don't want to waste $200 on a scam.

Can you tell me more about the process and terms? They told me 3k with $200 monthly payments. Did you get a contract? How did it work. Checking before I give them $200. Thank you.

Can you tell me how it worked. Did you get a contract? What were the loan terms. How are payments nade to them? Any ifo you can give me will help me make a decision so I am not ripped off. Thank you.

michael johnson is a SHILL for this scam, he is working for the SCAMMERS. There is NO LOAN, this is a scam to trick you to send them your hard-earned money. Stay away from them, do not contact them. Go to a local credit union for small loans.

THIS IS A SCAM. The FTC says here http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/telemarketing/tel16.shtm that "It is illegal for companies doing business in the U.S. by phone to promise you a loan and ask you to pay for it before they deliver." They will keep your $200 and they will vanish on you. Do not contact them. Go to a local credit union for small loans.

Received the same phone call and said I was approved for $3000 to pay back in 12 months and to go to Western Union and send $295 to verify that it is me. SCAM!

Well me and a few of my friends wanted to see if it work. So we all put ten dollars and sent it. But they only asked for 150 when I said I didn't have the 250. Its a scam all day
So we never received any money. They called me not long ago and I laugh when they started talkimg
The man got real offened. He asked me y was I laughing. So I told him. They can honestly speak very good english. They just chose to talk that way. So take our word for it. Its a SCAM!!!!

i sent them money and they asked for 250,00 plus 499,00 more

I got a kall from this number saying I was approved for a $3000 loan, they said I needed to go to Western Union to make a deposit!!! I didn't, was wondering if this is a scam????

These people kept calling me about this loan.  First, when I told them I believed it was a scam, because I had been scammed before by a company who asked for money upfront, not knowing any better.  He then put his "supervisor" on the phone to try to assure me that they were legit, AND proceeded to tell me that they were going to have me go down to the Western Union, stay on the phone, to verify it was me, and then it would be "refunded".  I then knew it was for certain a scam, and told him so.  He tried to get stern with me, but it didn't work.  Don't fall for this!  Hang up the phone!

I received a call from them today and I almost had decided to do it because I am a single mom who really needed the funds but, luckily something told me to google this number and I'm soooo glad I did!! Oh well, on to plan B. Thank you Lord for common sense!!

Got the same thing approved for $3000 if I sent them 325 by Western Union - told them why would I want a loan if I had 325 right now -  they hung up  BIG SCAM

These guys tried to get me to go to wall-mart with $150.00 with a promise to reimburse the funds along with a new loan for $1500.00. My gut feeling told me this was a scam. I can not believe they are not getting caught and sent back to their Countries
