Concord Financial Investments

I had originally applied online at a local loan company, I didn’t like the terms so decided not to go with them. About a week went by and I had received first an email then the next day a phone call from “Barbra Merlin” saying that I had been approved for my requested $30,000 loan. She offered 9% interest and a decent monthly payment of $480.00. | At first I was a little learly as this was a US Company and I was in Canada. She had all the right answers, saying that I would be dealing with their “International department”. I inquired if my loan would be in US or Canadian funds. Barbara mentioned all would be in Canadian funds. | When I agreed, Barbra emailed me a contract to print out, sign, date, and provide his ID, SIN, pay stub, and my checking account info. (she was going to direct deposit). I had set up a completely new account for this. After she received my info via email she said I needed to wire her $960.00 deposit through Western Union to cover the first months payments. Upon receiving the money she would deposit my loan. | Before emailing or even wiring any funds to her, I did a google search for any of the names I found on the paperwork as well as her name and the company name. I even called the office building to confirm they were there. I reached the guard who had told me that a “new company had moved and he believed that might have been them”
