AFEXCREDITONLINE: Anyone else fallen for their tactics?

Is Mr. Joseph Smit actually employed by AFEXCREDITONLINE.url.ph/Login.html? I "applied for a Grant with him and his company". It ended up costing me OVER two thousand dollars by his "company depositing" an amount that was returned due to INSUFFICIENT funds. This action resulted me being kicked out of USAA (where I had been a member for 20 some years). Has anyone else been "taken" by this man & company?

@PO2 R J Mickelson, Is there any way you can appeal this with USAA? I mean people taking advantage of others is not good, but for it to cost you a membership that is over 20 years old seems absurd to me.

That "AFEXCREDITONLINE.URL.PH" would mean that it is a internet domain name from the Philippines. I live in the Philippines and sadly internet crime is pretty rampant and not enforced. The National Police force are poorly trained and corrupt so they would be no help.

Sad to hear you got scammed by them. Thank you for sharing because I think all you might be able to do is help others by exposing them. If you wanted I could find out their address and location just let me know.

After reading several pages on the site is apparent to me that the writers are educated but still use English as a second language. Little details like showing how much money the loans are for $300,000 but then spelling it out after (three hundred thousands dollars) is a Philipino thing.

Sorry for your troubles brother. After 20 years, USAA will have a nice size check for youI had to close my account with them when I got divorced (member proceeds issue) and I believe we (she) got $1300. I don't know if that is high or low, but it will take some of the sting away. USAA isn't always the way to go for insurance anyway, but that still sucks big time. You aren't alone. I hate to admit it but I fell for a different scam a few years back myself. We have to just live and learn and warn others. Hang tough compadre.
