The week prior to the incident I applied to an online cash loan service. I reviewed several emails from lending sites then shortly I received phone calls from them. Among them was 2023803449. A deeply accented woman ( probably Indian) named Sabrina Wilson called me and told me I was approved for a 1500 dollar loan with a 7.2 percent interest rate. I told her I wanted to accept the loan and she told me I had to call back give her name and the amount of the loan I was approved for and it would start the process. The man I spoke with was called "Ricky" (also with an Indian accent) and he told me he would call me back in the morning because the company was closing for the night (It was about 7 p.m.) The next day I spoke with Ricky and he told me I could receive my funds that day. He said we would have to go over some information and then we could get started. Halfway through he said he would have to call me back. About 45 min later he called and said that the computer systems were down and that he could wire the money to western union. I said okay and walked to the nearest one. I stood on line then be told me I would have to send 175 dollars to Delhi/India (I forgot the recipients name) in order to cover the refundable processing fee. I realized that Western Union didn't accept cards so I told him I would have to find an ATM. I told him I would call back. He called me continuously to ask if I had the money yet. I said no and continued to look for an ATM. Next thing I knew I didn't have enough funds to withdraw and then pay the 175 at Western Union. He said "can't you just get the money from someone"? I said no and he told me there's nothing he could do until I paid the 175. I told him I was getting a paycheck the next day. The following day I used 185 out of my 208 dollar paycheck to send the fee to "Hunny Singh" in Delhi/India. He then put me on hold for about 25 min. Periodically he came on the line to tell me the payment was processing and it's still in western union unclaimed so that he could send it back with my 1500 dollar loan. He then said that Western Union was not letting him send the money because there was a 285 dollar transfer fee. He said his company could not cover the fee and that I had to pay it but I would get it back with my loan. That's when I told him I spent almost my entire paycheck to wire the firi st few and that he could not spring any additional fees on me like that. He got angry and said that it's not like I really have to pay anything because I'll get it right back. I told him that was ridiculous and that I didn't have money to pay the loan additional fee. He simply said why don't you just ask somebody. (As if it were that simple) I realized it was a SCAM when he told me that if I didn't pay the 285 I still had the loan guaranteed but it would take 7 to 10 days for the system to work again and by then the loan would be cancelled and I wouldn't get any funds. Clearly what he said made absolutely NO SENSE!!! What computer system could be down for 7 to 10 days and then how are you going to tell me that I'm guarantees a loan but it would be cancelled because of THEIR systems being down. The icing on top of the cake was when he refused to let me speak to a supervisor or customer service and said he was the only person I could speak too. That low down dirty mutt also had the nerve to tell me not to raise my voice at him because he was doing me a favor by offering me a low interest loan. Sabrina Wilson and Ricky of Cash Advance in Washington D. C. (2023803449) are Con Artists and the Scum of the Earth!!!!!! They need to be in prison like the criminals they are.
