Complaint 8040 Details

I asked for a loan of 20,000 and Mr. Luke Garrett called and said I had the loan but would have to pay up front 2096.88 to secure the loan. I asked could it be taken out of the loan and he said no. He told me to send it by Western Union in Euros and to call when the money was sent. I paid 2000 + 115 to a Melina Michu in Barcelona, Spain. I then called him back as he asked and gave him my bank account #, The name of the person it was sent to and he told me I would have the money no later than 5:00 pm the following Monday. Instead of money, I get a phone call from Mr. Holt stating I would have to send another 2000 or he would have to cancel the loan. I told him to cancel the loan and asked him to return my money. Mr. Holt said he could not return the money before 07/25/2011. Mr. Holt called me back in a few days and said they would give me a 1000 dollar credit if I sent another 1000 dollars and I could still have the loan. I told him no and asked when and how would I get my money back and he said on the same day he would wire it back to my account. I called every week to check on my funds and either Mr. Holt or Mr. Luke Garrett would say that I would get my refund. However, when I called on 07/23/2011 all the phone lines were disconnected. These people have my drivers license my bank account#, my SS#. My contract is stamped on the signature line J. Bridges and underneath with Standley J. Bridges CEO .
