[CA] Is Vertrin Lending a scam? www.vertrinlending.com Hi everyone, I was wondering if this could be a scam just due to some alarm bells going off in my head. I went to a site in hopes of securing a loan. I found one and the site looked legit and I did look it up and everything looked on the up and up. I was then contacted by someone from Vertrin Lending from a number that I did a look up on and is from a provider here in my Province. We discussed the loan over the phone and he told me that I would have to go with a secured loan and he gave me 3 options for this loan. One was to put up something of mine as collateral but I told him that I have nothing that would cover the loan amount. Second option was to find a co-signer to put up collateral, but that's not an option for me either. The Third option was to purchase loan default insurance. I opted for the 3rd option. He then told me that to do the third option the insurance premium was going to be $2,000 but because of the high amount of people defaulting on loans the insurance provider wanted 50% up front and then the other 50% would be part of my loan payments. Nothing was going off in my brain so I said ok and sent the 50% via e-transfer. My bank however had different plans and decided to not send that transfer as this was a new contact and I was about to send a large sum of money to this person so they blocked it. I had the bank cancel it, but then I got the Loan Contract. No typos but what jumped up at me was the website. I went to the website and it looked legit. I used the inspect tool and it shows that there's https but what jumped out at me was the address of the business. All it says is the main building address but I'm very familiar with that building and the businesses in that building have a unit number, but Vertrin Lending doesn't have a unit number at all at that building. I then went and started to see if I could find the business on google and I found nothing. I'm now wondering if
