Report Attachments
I applied for a loan through a local company but somehow my information was stolen and givin to Amerifirst national. They contacted me stating I was approved for a $20.000 loan but needed to pay my insurance premium up front to the private lenders because I am considered "high risk" The faxed me a contract that was extremely legit looking
"Please note, i have never expreienced this before please understand I know this was "dumb" of me but I didnt know any better.
I sent a deposit of $450.00 dollars via western union to the "private" lenders Names of Tia Hutton, lewenda Greaves of AJAX Ontario and was told i woul recieve my funds in a 24 to 48 hour time period. Well the funds did not come and I recieved a call from the consultant "JANNET HEINS" saying they pulled a subsequent credit check and the lenders were asking for more of a deosit, so i sent 450 to both again and was told I would recieve my funds withing 6-12 hrs... Did not happen. I could NOT find anything on this company when i searched... last night i googled there email address, and it was another company calle transouth finincial www.transouthfinincialcorp.com and it was identical to the amerifirstnationalltd.com website except the "president" had different names. but the picture was the same, I noticed they are affiliated with citi finincial and are a major scam.. They supposidly are located in florida but the police says they are operating out of canada, ontario somewhere. if this has happened to anyone else with this company please contact me

"I applied for a loan through a local company but somehow my information was stolen and givin to Amerifirst national."
Did you do this over the Internet? Chances are that you thought you were applying with a local company when, in fact, you were giving your info to a scam site.
"I noticed they are affiliated with citi finincial and are a major scam"
So, if they lied about everything else, why would you think this is true?
Basically, you have been dealing with individual scammers in what is known as the Advance Fee Loan Scam. There are no companies involved. The names are either made up, or stolen from legitimate companies. The names of the people you dealt with are made up. The contracts and documents were made up. The key to this scam is to get the victim to send untraceable cash by Western Union or Moneygram. Scammers insist on this because it doesn't leave a paper trail. Legitimate businesses never require those types of transfers. Another key is that requiring "insurance" payments in order to get a personal loan is illegal. The FTC has a website about this scam here :
