Why no credit, no problem promises can be a scam

I called the Better Business Bureau of Milwaukee, Wisconsin where the company was from. I found out that the address the company uses was a bogus one, and that there was no such company.

So we are now out the $1450.00, and one month behind on our mortgage. The only reason I called for a loan was because banks was turning us down. We needed the money to get caught up on some bills, and to get out of some of those payday advance companies, so we could have a fresh start.

We was in a mess all of those cash advance places came due all at once, we were behind in our mortgage. So my husband had to sell everything that he owned and worked so hard for all of his life, just to get us out of those cash advance places. But we was still behind in our mortgage, so we had to borrow from those cash advance places just to get our mortgage current. I just wish these people could be caught so they can't do this to anyone else. Because it sure doesn't feel good to see your husband have to sell his stuff that he was proud of because he worked for it. Just because of these people and there lies, and false promises, and hopes of a fresh start. I feel this is my fault I was the one who fell for the scam.

I learned my lesson well I now investigate everyone and every company that I do business with before I dive in.
