I applied online for a personal loan.I got an offer from a company called legacy group lending.They wanted $300.00 for insurance for a $5,000 loan.I was desperate and trying to help out family so I wired the $300.00.4 days later (when it was supposed to take only 2 hours)I was told I was a high risk (which I knew)they wanted another $300.00 which I sent by money gram.Now they say they can only approve me for a $10,000 loan and wants another $300.00.I said forget and send my money back.I said to wire it back to me and they are saying it will take up to 10 business days delivered by fed ex.Nothing as of yet.

Dear speedier1,
We are deeply sorry that you were a victim of fraud by someone illegally using the Legacy Group Lending name.
It was recently brought to our attention that someone has been using our business name and an old mailing address to fraudulently offer personal loans over the past two weeks to a small group of individuals. The false lender asks the contacted individual to wire money for “insurance” before the loan can go through. After the individual has sent the funds, the loan never appears.
We have reported the situation to both the FBI and State Attorney General Offices and had the false website shut down.
We are a respected mortgage banker operating in Arizona, Washington, Oregon and California. We take pride in doing home and commercial loans the old-fashioned way—with trust.
If you suspect that you’ve been a victim of loan fraud, we encourage you to immediately contact these resources.
1. Internet Crime Complaint Center (A partnership between the FBI, National White Collar Crime Center and Bureau of Justice Assistance).
www.ic3.gov/complaint
2. Your State Attorney General office
www.naag.org/current-attorneys-general.php
3. Western Union (if asked to wire funds).
1-800-326-6000 or www.westernunion.com
4. Contact your local law enforcement (use the non-emergency number)
File a full report, which allows Western Union to share tracking information with law enforcement at both the local and federal level.
Sincerely,
--
