Scam Description
I was contacted by Travis Allen from Pembry Lending telling me I was approved for a 10k loan but I had to make the first 3 payments as collateral, which I foolishly did via sending money to Canada. I was then told that they were not able to insure the loan so I was denied and my money would be refunded. I did this in mid August 2022 and was told I would receive my money back on Sept 6th when they “process refunds”. Needless to say, haven’t seen a dime. Multiple emails and phone calls without a response. They claim to be based in CA but think they are actually in Canada. Nothing like learning the hard way. Don’t get involved with them. I have filed complaints with the CA attorney generals office and the Federal Trade. Commission. It looks like they just got started so watch out!
