Basically, it went down like this. The Application process he needed verification of work, copy of my passport, copy of my life insurance in case I croaked. After approval 2 days later they were ready to fund. This went way to smooth, first red flag. Loan Amount 150,000 to be wired to my account after I paid 1.5% transaction fee. Second red flag, Seems logical at the time, went ahead and paid the 1.5% by western union big no no! any way, I waited for the funds nothing happen, he sent me a bank of america wire transfer form with all the account info, codes, etc, I was fooled and took the form hook line and sinker! , I emailed him and said I got the transcript from bank of america but the transcript says halted? he says he forgot the closing fee that needed to wired before funding, I fought with him on this and got a letter stating funds would be released as soon as the closing money was wired, third red flag, bla bla, seemed legit. Anyway I just want to strangle this POS!
Red Flags that come to mind.
