I applied for an unsecured loan in late January. I was contacted by Lumenvest Financial Group on January 31. I was put in contact with a local Agent Judith Saunders who set up the process which included identification and void cheque. I signed a contract and paid the security fee of $1750 in order secure the loan in case I was unable to pay. We went back and forth and I have been waiting almost 24 hours for the payment to be released. Now the terms of our contract said within 4. I am still in contact with the person in question. They said that they would be in contact after 11:30 this morning. I am preparing all pertinent files to transfer to the authorities while maintaining contact with the scammer. Upon closer look website is for show company address goes to 701 W Georgia St in Vancouver which is the CF Pacific Centre a mall. None of the tennants are the company in question. I was lead to this company through an generic online loan application called Canada Loans. I will update this scam as it progresses.
