I applied for and was supposedly approved for a loan through www.norwoodcapital.com however, I was told I had to pay an insurance policy upfront. After paying, and sending the money to Canda, I never saw the loan or my money again. Later I realized that there is no phone number on their website and the 1-800 number I was given, is no longer accessible in my area.

How long ago was this? Did you pay via credit card? If so, call your CC company and tell them what's going on (that you think it's fraud) and contact the police in your area. Also, file a complaint on RipOffReport.com and see if they're associated with the Better Business Bureau (if so, file a complaint). It can take a few weeks to make a decision or to get back to you once they've made a decision. I wouldn't give it more than 2 months, though. Have you tried e-mailing them?

I have not and will never be involved in such a scheme. Rule number 1 of avoiding scam is you NEVER have to pay upfront to receive money. If anyone asks you to do so, it IS a scam. The 1-800 number never was accessible anywhere.
None of the things Sarah K suggested are likely to help. The scams operators know them better than you ever will and have most likely changed name at least twice since you sent them the money.

same thing happened to me. It was through Southview Loan Service. It has left my husband and I in much distress. People can tell not to do it but until they know the situation really should not be so harsh to judge. The only thing we can do now is to warn others and try to get it out there so they can not do it again. I have reported to several different company's and BBB. so sorry
