To Whom It May Concern:

I received a ohone call from 202-657-6716 on July 11, 2012 offering a cash loan because I have been requestinga loan on-line the day before. After discussing the need I had, RICK FOSTER, a company agent helped me complete the application on the phone. After the amount of the loan was discussed (US$7,000) I was asked that in order to verify the validity of my identity I shpuld go to a Western Union location and issue a Transfer in the amount of US$700, and right after the transaction was verified by the receiver I will be able to receive the loan of US$7,000 plus the additional US$700 (validation fee); altogether I was to receive US$7,700. This transfer of US$700 plus a cost of US$15 was sent to one of their international locations in INDIA to the name of ARINZE ONYEME; the MTCN # of the transaction is 609-153-0385 on 07/11/2012 at 9:29 AM PDT. The transfer went through and I was to get information while on the telephone with RICK FOSTER. Then he said to go home and wait for the Funds to show up in my bank account which I provided to them to make the deposit. On July 12, I checked with the bank and there was not deposit at all. Then I called 202-657-6716 and talked to RICK FOSTER who checked on the status of the loan and said the reason the loan did not showed up it was because there was an ACTIVATION FEE of US$665 and that I needed to make a Transfer for that amount via Western Union or Chase Bank> The Transfer was made in the name of US$665 plus a US$10 Fee in the name of NGUYENTRANG in INDIA and that immediately after 20 minutes the funds would be released to me altogether, US$8,365 and deposited at my bank. Well, over an hour later and while still on the phone, RICK FOSTER connected me with MARTIN WALTER, a SeniorLead in charged of the office. MARTIN WALTER continue to let me know that I shoukld go home and wait for the deposit of the money in my bank. On July 13 I called again at 202-657-6716 and JASON WALKER who identified himself as a CO-LEAD told me that the company needed to verify that the larger amount now needed to be verified that it would be going to the right person, and that in order to release the funds it was a company poliicy to have the Client to issue a payment via Western Union or Chase Bank in the amount of US$550 but i told them I did not have that money. Then they lowered the amount to US$495 which I was to sent via MoneyGram. I tried this but the Transfer was not successful and I was obligated to recall the transfer which cost me an addItional US$14. Then, between JASON WALKER and MARTIN WALTER they indicated to me that I should now make the Transfer via CHASE Bank to PRINCE WOODBURY at the Chase Bank with Account #901278812, Routing #021000021, located in MT Vernon NY 10552 on Fleet Mountain. But then they said that the problem with Western Union have been resolved and that I could now send the US$495 plus a US$10 fee via Western Union on the name of NGUYEN TRANG in INDIA on 7/12/2012 at 11:15 AM PDT. They claimed after that validation, in twenty minutes the deposit will be at my bank. Mind you all this was accomplished while on the telephone because they were there to support me. After more than an hour on the telephone I was told that due to failure in their system the Transfer from Western Union was locked into their system. I told him it was not my fault and that they should solve the problem, and that perhaps if I got the money back from Western Union then we could send it another way. He said it was not possible because it was already locked in their system and in the eyes of Western Union the money was already collected. This money in fact was collected already by NGUYEN TRANG in INDIA. Between MARTIN WALTER and JASON WALKER they told me that the only way to UNLOCK the money it was to make another exact payment of US$495 plus the US$10 fee; that that action will immeidately release the LOCKED condition and the money woul be deposited at the bank. I refused to do it and told them that I will talk to them on Friday July 13. I received an erlier call from them on Friday and I was told that they promise me that this was the last action to be taken to get my Loan in addition to the rest of the money to include the new US$495 plus a US$10 fee and that it should be snet via Western Union to NIRAJ SHAH in NEPAL on July 13, 2012 at 1:37 PM PDT. That after the system have confirmed the UNLOCKED condition, then all the money together with the Loan will be deposited at the bank. This last part of the conversation was conducted with RICK FOSTER who promised this was the end and I should go home and check on the bank because the transaction would take from 2 to 10 hours.
Of course the money never showed up at the bank and there was not answer on Saturday or Sunday. I called again on Monday July 16 at 9:19 AM PDT but the phone was not working and there was not way to communicate with them. Then I was surprised when I received a call from JASON WALKER from 202-470-6777 at 9:54 AM PDT. I told him to explain to me what was going on since the money was never deposited into my account.
At this point I was totally upset and requested that if the loan was not going to be provided that I needed the money I sent to them back immediately. He continued to explain that if I wanted the Loan cancelled I would need to pay US$660 for the cancellation and that it would take about 15 days to get my money back. From that moment on I have been calling and getting JASON WALKER, MARTIN WALKER, and a new AGENT by the name of KEVIN who did not disclosed his last name. All of them have been teling me every day that if I want my money it would take 15 days, or that I need to pay US$660 to get my money back. No only have they been telling me that, but they also have been hanging up the phone on me. Today, Thursday July 19, 2012 I was told by KEVIN and JASON WALKER that if I want my money I need to pay US$660 or do not call them back because that is the Policy of their company for the last five (5) years. Of course I was furious, unable to solve the matter on my own, and of course they hanged up the phone on me.
I need your help in getting to this outfit who definetely especializes in taking advantage of people in need and by manipulation and promises get money free money and get away with keeping the hard earned money.
I understand the SCHEME but the ned for the loan blind me from the begining and quite frankly they sounded real until I refused to provide any more money.
Please let me know what else do you need from me.
