Debt Consolidation Scheme
Consumers in Statesboro are upset, and rightfully so. These
people thought that they had taken care of their debt, only to
find out that this was not the case. They have gone to the
police in hope that they might get some help for the mess that
they are in.
Statesboro Police are investigating the claims and there are
many of them. Consumers say that they are faced with the same
bills they had before only they are now out the money that they
paid this man to clean up their credit. The story is the same
pretty much among all of them – the man said that he was giving
them assistance with their debt and that the debt consolidation
that he was giving them would clean up all of it.
He took their bank account information, their social security
numbers and their money and promptly disappeared. Needless to
say he didn’t pay a single bill for these people, but did take
everything else. Some of them say that they got a referral to
the man who was considered to be very good in the debt
consolidation business and so they trusted him with their info.
In addition to all of their personal information he had them
send their payments via Western Union and Green Dot pre-paid
cards so that the money was untraceable and as good as gone.
Some of them said that at first he paid some of the bills so
they thought they were in good standing but then they started
getting calls from creditors saying that they were not paying
their bills, or in one case that they were coming to repossess
their car – and that is when they realized they had been
scammed.
