I received a call from one of their agents who pitched a 0% interest promotion and reduced management fees, assuring me that the latter wouldn’t amount to thousands of pesos as seen with other lending apps. Intrigued, I checked the app and discovered a credit limit of 7,230 pesos, with a 21-day repayment period for the same amount. Believing in the 0% interest offer, I proceeded to submit my application. To my surprise, only 5,000 pesos was credited to my account, and a substantial 2,230 pesos were deducted as management fees.
Feeling deceived, I promptly emailed their official address, Wlilkengcdeo@hotmail.com, expressing my desire to cancel the loan due to deceptive practices by their agent and app. Within a day, another agent contacted me, providing instructions to cancel the loan by returning the disbursed amount with no additional charges. They shared bank details for a Maya account under the name “Peso Buffet.” I transferred the money as instructed, and the agent assured me that the collections department would handle the cancellation within 48-72 hours.
The following morning, Peso Buffet emailed me, claiming they couldn’t cancel the loan and insisted on the full repayment, along with additional fees. It became apparent that these individuals were engaging in fraudulent activities. I urge appropriate action to prevent further victimization of unsuspecting individuals by these scammers. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
