Please, please read this carefully!!!
I was actually looking into getting an international loan just like this one.
I ended up finding some company online based in the USA.
I reached out to them, and they were insisting that I pay for the credit insurance upfront. Just to be safe—you know, being cautious—I asked them to send over their official business details.
And what does the guy do? He sends me an address, a phone number, and a tax ID... but he leaves out the actual name of the company. No name at all.
So, I went ahead and searched a US business registry to see if I could verify them using that tax ID.
After that, I asked him to please, just send me the registered name of the firm.
He finally sent a name, but it had absolutely nothing to do with the company registered under the tax ID he gave me earlier. It was a total mismatch.
As soon as I called him out on it, he just ghosted me. Completely disappeared.
That's why I'm saying, please be SO CAUTIOUS about who you send "insurance" money to. There are way too many people out there losing thousands of dollars to scams like this.
NEVER, ever send money for stuff like this through Western Union....
I'm still out here searching for a legitimate loan—but so far, no luck!!!!
Good luck, everyone
