Direct Axis Lindsay van Zyl

I made contact with a lady by the name of Lindsay van Zyl at Direct Axis concerning a application for a loan after we have received so many mails. This happened on the 11/5/2023 and she sent me a application to complete. We completed the application and forwarded all document's she required from us for the loan. We were notified today the 22/05/2023 that the application was successful and we need to sign the document that she sent as accepting the terms and conditions. All of this is done on legitimate Direct Axis letterheads and mails so according to me it is the real thing. On reading the document that was sent to me for my signature, I notice that there is an amount of R 48 999 that I must pay for legal fees and this must be paid upfront before the loan is paid out. This made me very uncomfortable and I phoned Direct Axis in Cape Town to find out what these fees are seeing that I could not get hold of Mrs. van Zyl. I was then told that this application is ***** seeing that Direct Axis does not work like that. My question then was but what has Direct Axis done to protect other people from being ****med like this for it is all done on their letterheads and that is why we though it is all legal. The answer is nothing, how many people still get ****med like this and nothing is been done. Be careful of using any application on line with any loan provider for they will just distance them from such ****s and you will loose your capital. Please be ware of Lindsay van Zyl, she is a **** and will ***** your money under the pretense that it is Direct Axis, and Direct Axis will just distance them from honest people trying to do business.
