Asked on Mar 29th, 2014 on Consumer Fraud - Florida
More details to this question:
I never had a loan and I applied for one. I got a few phone calls and decided to go with one company. I was told to get money on a moneypak so I could prove I could make the payments, I did. I was told, since I was a first time borrower, I had to get another moneypak, so once again I did. The loan company told me that the funds would be in my account at a certain time. About 30 minutes later, I got a call from a man saying he worked for the state of fl & I has to pay taxes on the money that was being wired from CA. All together, I lost , $570. Is there anything I can do?

Not unless you clearly ID the company and they are "sue-able". You may want to report this to the Attorney General...We do offer FREE consultations to see how we can help. Just call 1-800-922-6442.
