They had a copy of the contract. The were very agressive. Tlod me to go to Walmart to wire the money to then. Well it was snowing and I am elderly. So I told them that it would take a couple of hrs to go out and sweep the snow. 2Hrs later they called and insisted I go wire the money. They gave me a number to call.
I had a copy of the contract because I printed it out. I found in very small grey letters the phone number of the company that loaned me the money. To see if I could pay on my credit card. I was told that the loan was do in 2 more day. That they do collection in office. They told me whom ever called were scammers and not to wire any money.

I can imagine what might have happened if I hadn’t contacted to company. I would have wire money to the scammers and I would have been out $400. Because I would have to have paid the loan company as well.
