Then getting a call saying youve qualified for a loan up to 5 grand might sound like a dream come true. brian loftus but as 8 on your side consumer advocate Michelle Mortensen tells us answering the call could turn into a nightmare. Michelle Mortensen if it sounds to good to be true. It probably is. Thats a phrase i say a lot around here. And in this case. It definitely applies. According to the Better Business bureau. Folks in las vegas and nationwide are getting calls the number pops up as a local call. And if you answer it. They voice on the other end of the line will supposedly offer you cold hard cash. Lots of it. All you have to do to get it is pay some fees. About 600 buck for insurance and bank fees. Though Rhonda Mettler with the bbb says some victims have been conned into paying more several times. one individual actually sent several money grams to the ukraine totally about 2300. Michelle Mortensen sadly the caller would only accept payment from western union. And thats the bad news. Hen you wire someone money. Theres no way to get your money back. rhonda that money is untraceable there is no way you are going to get that money back you might as well just give it away. Michelle Mortensen many local victims thought they were dealing with a local Company Since the calls came from a 702 number. The company also advertises a local address. The business is actually located overseas. So how can you avoid this scam . Well look for the signs. First. No one legit is ever going to call you up and offer you a loan because its illegal. According to the ftc. Second. When acquiring a loan. If someone wants money up front. Walk away, especially if youre told its for insurance, processing, or just paperwork. Legitimate lenders often charge fees. But the difference is they disclose them and they take it from the amount you borrow after youve been approved. Thirs. Make sure they want your credit history. If they say bad credit. No problem. Its a problem. Legit lenders want to know. And finally. Never deal with someone who wants you to wire money. Michelle Mortensen i want to stress this. Because no matter how many times i say it. It is never enough. Never wire money because you cant get it back sadly i give that bad news to folks all the time. And it is heartbreaking. brian loftus if you have a consumer problem. At 702 650 1907. sherry hows the weather today . Sherry swensk get ready for some windy changes.
