**** alert
I responded on an ad on Facebook as I was looking to apply for a loan. I dealed with a mr Wilson Alfred who proceeded to tell me in order for him to help me, I must activate my banking app with Capitec as they provide me with a QR code that I must scan from another phone onto my phone. He asked for my phone number and we continued to talk on WhatsApp. I asked a colleague at work to assist me. He then sent the QR code to my colleague telling me that I have 20 seconds to scan the QR code he sent to her. When I told him it is not working, he asked me to approve transactions on my banking app. This person then proceeded to add himself as a beneficiary on my account and the did 2 seperate payments of R498 and again R305 from my account. He did immediate payments wich amounted to R15 bank fees for the immediate payments he did without my consent. When I confronted him, he assured me he would refund me along with the loan he would dispurse into my account. He tried very hard to force me to deposit more money into my account and to not use my salary wich would pay in, as this would "boost" my score. When I refused, he at first tried to deny it and accusing "someone" ****med me after I sent him screenshots - which I cropped to only highlight the payments he took - as I paid my rent earlier. At this point I suspended my banking app. I told him that I am on my way to the bank and after that the police to open a ***** case against him and his "company". He kept on pleading with me making promises that he and his "boss" are figuring out a way to pay my loan. I told him that I am no longer interested and that I just meed him to refund the R803 he took without my consent. After I alerted the bank about the incident, I went to the police to open a ***** case. I reported the business on Facebook, submitted a report on **** Adviser and warned people on Facebook to be alert of this ****ming. Him/the company removed my comments on their page. At this stage I also blocked and reported him on Whatsapp. He then sent me messages on messenger on Facebook pleading me to unblock him on Whatsapp. He then told me that the assets of the company is frozen and that the board of directors are requesting me to make yet another R3500 payment and that they then will refund me R6000. I refused and told him in no uncertain terms that I just want them to refund the money they stole from my account - R803 - nothing more, nothing less. I also told him that if they refund the R803, I will be willing to withdraw the ***** case. Guys, be VERY carefull. I could have lost so much more. I am actually disgusted by the audacity for asking me to pay another R3500. Do not fall for this.

Do not trust Primania loans.
I app**** for a loan. The director - Chester J Williams - worked with my application. He seemed very knowledgeable and helpfull. Things went south fast after I paid R5000 over for what he said fees to clear my name on various credit bureaus. He went as far as telling me the R5000 will also clear any outstanding debt I have and will boost my credit score into the top 20%. He made me a promise of double your money back and guaranteed me this as I was very cautious. Je proceeded by sending me a copy of his ID, the company registration details etc. After trying to reach out to him on the cellphone nr 065 542 8651, the calls just go unanswered. I opened a ***** case against him as well as against the company. Do net allow this guy to lure you with his promises and stories. Je misuse your dire situation. I had no intention of not paying my debt. The reason I app**** for the loan was to pay off my debt and get on my feet again.
