I applied on line for a loan with Horizon Capital lending com. The banks refused me because of poor credit...so this company called me up after two days of going over my application and said that i was approved for $10,000. i was speaking with a Mr. Aurthur Stevens on the phone . the number they told me to call was 1-888-659-3397 ext. 121. They told me since i have a bad credit, and no collateral for the loan, i would have to pay $450 to secure the loan. So i Western union the money to them, which they used a third party by the Name of George VAlentine. Western union refused it, saying it was most likely fraud, because it went to a private person.... I ignored the warning and went forth with this. i called mr. Aurthor Stevens back and he told me to send it via Moneygram to a Michael Prahay. Which i did. The following day, mr. Stevens called me back saying that my credit wasnt good enough for the $450 that i would have to Get the basic insurance part for the loan, and if i paid another $500, that this would secure the loan, and i would have the $10,000 in my account in 4 hours of confirmation of this transaction. So i begged and borrowed the money... to pay these people and secure the loan. the next day, still no money in my account, so i call, and get Evelyn Stuart, who, in turn, tells me that Mr. Stevens has been taken off of my account, because he mis-represented me, and that Evelyn was very sorry but i would need to upgrade to a Full Insurance loan, which meant that i owed them another $450. STupid me, sold my jewellery in order to get them the $450 because i desperately needed the $10,000. and again, nothing in my account after they claimed the $450.
Now they dont answer their phone calls, or anything.... Be ware.
Doris.

  • Same thing happened to us. They are a scam!!!! I filed a fraud report with western union and made them aware of this scam. Also, we are going to the police regarding this...You can get your money back if you pursue this claim against the company.

  • I am also one the ones they scamed. However, I think I was the worse. They scammed me out of 3800.00. I am going to get in touch with the RCMP tomorrow. They contacted me after I had gone online and put in an application for a 40,000.00 business loan with "the lending center". Like others, I was also told by Western Union that it probably was a scam but I still went ahead and sent it. Stupid me. You never think it will happen to you. I even had someone look over the contract and he said it did seem legit. The thing is, I usually always check to make sure that these are not scams. I googled the company and everything. I wish I would have typed in "scam and horizon capital lending" because it brought me to this site and I would have saved a lot of money. I was too late but I hope with all of these complaints against one company, nobody else will be taken in. We work too darn hard for someone to take our money like this. I even sent them a fax that they hadn't heard the last of me, as I am going full throttle with this starting by contacting the RCMP tomorrow and the canadian fraud department. Thanks scambook...
