Loan scam

In a loan scam, a crook will make you believe he may grant you a loan but will ask for money first.

A money loan is a supervised financial operation that is the preserve of banks or governments.

If you are looking for a loan, you should avoid websites of unknown organisms. Even if these organizations justify being not famous in your country as supposedly being from foreign countries. To try to convince you, they will also argue to be genuine institutions in their countries of origin. Flee also spontaneously emails received and promising you quick and easy loans.

In both cases – website of a fake organization pretending to propose loans or email of an individual – scammers will first agree to grant you your loan. But then, they will pretend that you have to pay administrative fees or other preliminary fees before you can receive any money. If you pay these fees, there will be other fees, again and again, until you stop paying and realize it is a scam. Finally, you will lose money instead of getting more !

  3. A major scam/criminal organization uses the name Hans Fernberg and a company called Fernberg Construction.

    The scammer criminal will pose as a widowed man on dating sites and/or contact you through facebook with the name Hans Fernberg, which on truth finder.com you will see no one with that name exists anywhere in the world. The criminals even have a fake business website under http://www.fernbergconstruction.com NO TAX RECORDS EXIST OF THE COMPANY (since its fake)

    Please do not respond to the criminal and contact your friends, family and local authorities as these are highly dangerous criminal scammer terrorists.

    The criminal scumbag will use a New York or USA phone # at first then will claim to have lost his phone on a business trip overseas. In this this particular case he said he traveled to South Africa with his fake construction company and will continually call form a South Africa #. He will have extravagant stories of his business accounts being frozen, will ask for money in promise of returning from his bullshit business trip and return the loan of money with interest.

    The scammers will use your number and will also pose as FBI agents, local Banks, and Lawyers claiming to say that Hans Fernberg exists as other angles to trick you into sending money.

    Again here is the fake business website: http://www.fernbergconstruction.com/
