DUPED OR SCAMMED???

I also applied like others to credit-sa after i found them online and i spoke to a then gentlman named Darren who advised due to a low scoring on my credit report he could assist by getting me a loan but he required R3000 and i must pay this by doing an absa cash send to his cellphone so it will quicken the process and he needs this to<br> do all the administration work. He sent me a contract where i would qualify for R250 000 so i could pay off<br> all my existing loans,accounts. He sounded so genuine and then advised me on how to go about paying off my debt then i could start afresh and i was so excited that finally there was an institution like this to assist people like me who wanted to get out of debt but did not want the debt review process. When he finally got back to me he told me that due to me being impatient he has to cancel the contract and would be refunding me the money as per indication on the contract that if no loan was paid out all monies would be refunded, that was on the 29 june 2015 that i paid him R3000 and he is still not refunding me and does not take any calls and the numbers just ring and now the website is suspended, his id number is 7506205187080
