i have a friend that just today ran into the same situation with these names. this was for more than you and two western unions were sent. this question may be coming from my friend, but i have no answer, just stating that you are not the only one. my friend was contacted after filling out some online information for approval of a loan and was hoaxed in to this. i have been trying to help contact via this phone and searched the web but yet everything costs money to get number as a matter of public information. it is appauling that there are people out there like this, but we have to watch who we are giving this personal information to even if we are in desperate situations. Ifyou have not already,you need to contact your bank and change banking information, also put an alert on your credit report, credit cards, for fraud. you should also report this to the police US and Canada. Western union should have information on these checks, in which case i hope you kept the stubs on them. they will be able to assist you, but with limited information. You should never have to pay money to get money, all charges are included in your total cost of the loan, whether it be taxes and levies.

Why would you have to pay $250 to get a loan? I work for a major Bank and we would NEVER do something like this, Most unsecured loans these days are via credit card. Any other loan that's unsecured would have no upfront charges, especially not $250 for a $2000 loan. This sounds like fraud, you may want to contact the police here or in Canada.
I would also call Western Union. They may have the name, address, and another phone number for the business.
Sorry, it sounds like you're in a tough spot...

Sorry, I hate to tell you but thats a scam. I truly hope that you didnt give the account number. Immediately call your bank and tell them that the account security has been compromised and you need to immediately change your account. All your money will be gone in a matter of days if you do not.

This is scam. If a loan charges fees to process, they will be deducted from the loan amount or added to it. Never send the fees in advanced.

Yes, you got duped. Contact your bank right away and alert them before all your money is gone. They have your account number. I am so sorry. Never give out any personal info over the phone....
