My story began on or about 4/2/12 when i received an advertisement about needing to borrow money. The economy was down and my financial situation was reaching critical i had already been turned down to refinance my home because i owed to much, i was devastated because in my 74 years i had never been refused a loan and my credit score was 798-801 but that did not matter. So when i received the advertisement from the internet i made the normal inquiry and found they would loan me enough money at 2% for 20 years.

The agent i was working with name is ashely bester at 345 commissioner street, Johannesburg, south Africa; phone +27718340076, email: [email protected] and web site: www.Transunion.Co.Za.

I was told all the standard stuff about everything would be easy with no problems. We agree on a cost price for the loan of $1850 for a security fee and a registration fee. I was very anxious the loan because of the economy and my income reaching critical. But transunion financial service is a very big and reputable company so i felt conformable doing business with them.

The first charge 4/2/2012 was $500 registration fee, then 4/12/2012 $450; a bank transfer fee (at standard bank); then 4/17/2012 $350 (non resident) for an international transfer fee; [note]: all money was sent to “ashley bester” by western union with very high fees added to the charge but please take note they would not accept payment unless it was sent to them by western union.

The next payment was $280 for an access code for the standard bank; and then other fees as listed here “ashley bester” distributed the funds . And here is the rest of the payment we made on this loan 4/19/2012 $180 , 4/21/2012 $150 , 4/23/2012 $250 , 4/25/2012 $280 ,and still have not receive my loan. ( each time before we sent the money we were told “this is the last payment and you will get access to your loan but We never got the loan; we would receive another charge and they would tell us again this is it; i promise to god i will send your loan after we get this last payment ; so we sent then on 4/30/2012 $100 ; (same promise;to send) ; an then on 5/15/2012 $120 ; and again on 5/16/2012 $110 (activation fee ??) and again on 5/18/2012 we paid $30, late fee but they said we owed them $50 not $30 so i sent then another $20 and we still did not get our loan; (we were trapped; we needed the loan even worse by then and they kept promising “just this payment and after we receive it i promise on my wife that i will transfer your loan;;; “did not happen”on 5/18/2012 i also sent $60 and then on 6/4/2012 sent $120 for a late fee that transunion said standard bank said i owed or they would not transfer my loan; so i paid them ;; on 6/11/2012 i sent them $130 for activation fee because the old one had expired and now standard bank want $75 for a late fee Because i did not pay then the day the billed me.

Between transunion financial service and standard bank they have scammed me $3508.90 for a loan i never got This system seems to be the standard operation procedure for all business dealing in the african nation including nigeria
