Capital Source Financial Inc
I fell for a scam with this socalled company for $2346.00, I thought I was applying for a loan for $20,000.00. It started with an email that said I should try to qualify. The next day they said they found an investor, that would put up the money for a 6 year term at 10.00% They said I had to send $1496.00 to insure the loan by MoneyGram to the holder of the loan. The next day they informed me that they sent the wrong contract to the lender (investor) stating that I was a new customer, and that he would have to charge me a rate then of 21%. The loan representative told me that they were going to have a conference call with the investor to try to straighten this out. The rep came back a few ours later, stating that I would get the original rate, but I had to increase the insurance amount by $500.00, and send it again be MoneyGram. Of course when all this was done no $20,000.00. This was a Friday. On Monday, I tried to contact the representative, and she was no where to be found. I received an email from the alleged back office that said that the money could not be released until I paid the administration fees of $386.00, of course by MoneyGram. After I sent this money everyone disappeared. I contacted the police, the FBI and Tthe FTC. In addition, I had to contact Social Security Disability, since I am a disabled person, close my bank account, contact the utility and phone company. It was a disaster, this was money I could not afford, and had borrowed from family and friends. Now I am in desparate straights, and hope this does not happen to anyone else.

Dear KevinF055
Welcome to this forum. Unfortunatelly you are not the only or the last person who scammed this way. My golden rule is to check everything comes from unknown source (many times even from known), then check again, again, and again. If I find nothing I ask for help and then check again. Finally I act. I asume that you send all that money through monegramm either Nigeria or UK.
