Cheri the very same thing happened to us. We got an attorney and she said this is one of the most sophisticated scams she has ever seen. We are currently trying to work with the FBI on this and I am also doing my own recon work on the issue. From the info I have found so far the website is registered to:
Courtney Lu
300 Borough Dr, Unit 2
Toronto, Ontario m1p 4p5 Canada
Phone# on registration is 647499064 (We tried the number and it wasn't connected)
Source code shows the company that made the website is Starfield Technologies. Feel free to contact me if you find out anything else. I'm still doing further research.

Shawn if you wish to add me to your list for FBI and attorney feel free to do so you can contact my email if you wish to gemini49usa@hotmail.com Im sorry this happned to you. HAHA today I called and she answered the phone and told me ohhh your loan is on hold rofl. This is a very elaborate scam ppl in florida also involved so many people are involved. I wish western union had photos of these ppl as they pick up money .
i am currently under this company trying to get a loan and i have been reading some bad stuff. i will be taking my papers to the bank otday to find out if it is a scam. i would really like to know more about this company before i go and do anything like send money cause lord knows i dont havemuch and could really use this loan. so if anyone knows more please let me know before i go and make a big mistake.
well i just had a lawer look at my documents and they say that this is not a scam and it is good to go so that is what i am going to do. i feel that if you lie on your application then u are going to not get anything. anyways i am going ahead and doing this and i the lawer said that its good then i am satisfied with that,,,,,best of luck to you all that are having trouble with this company.
I have a freind who just gave up on them, the took him for over 2000 dollars. He was desperate for the money, they promised and promised...first the first loan woudnt go through for some reason and he contacted a different person there. They promised his money back in full or he could go with the next consultants lender, which they have been in business with for four years, and promised after he gave them this money he would have it in his bank in an hour...well the poor guy believed it.
ok well it is a big scam and im glad that i didnt send nothing.......i had a lawyer and a police station and a bank all say nooooo so i didnt and im glad that i didnt get wraped up in there lies. they promised me everything they sent me a gaurteen letter and everything.........but i didnt fall for it i almost did. so to all of you out there im srry you got tooken for money but i will not. thanks to everyone on this sight. :)
my friend has also lost his job for takin money from work because he was gaurenteed to have the moneyt to him in an hour, not only that but spent his Christmas money for his 5 kids and wife on it and now is left with no christmas for his family at all! these people are truley evil! I can only hope these guys stick to there word and return his money in full like they promised.
I was Just on my way to fax the papers back to them!!!! Something told me I had better look up online to make sure this was a real company! OMG... I am so thankful to all who posted! I dont understand how they are getting away with this if they are that easy to find?? Can anyone fill me in with more details?
they get you to fax your paper work, then they tell you you have to have the first however many months security deposit (more less) up front being its an unsecured loan. You western union the money and give them the info and they tell you your deposit will be made in 1 to 2 hours....you sit by the phone and keep checking your account all night and nothing ever arrives. You call the next day they check what happened and they come up with another excuse like the lender is wanting an additionalhowever much up front because of some f*&kd up reason so you get suspicious and they guarentee you the funds will be there send you a letter signed by the "CEO" stating no matter what the money will be there they promise no if ands or buts...so you trust them...then you do the process over again, then guess what....no money still in your account...they keep comin up with excuses and saying this time its really gonna happen and were gonna give you a grant and even deposit not only the loan but the money you have paid up front too. still never get the funds and next thing you know your in bigger debt and in worse trouble then when you started.
if you want give me your email and I can tell you more I dont want to go into to big of detail on here, if you dont want to give me your email, then DO NOT go through with their loan and believe their stories...they are very good at tellin lies and soundin like they know what they're talkin about
thanks Jason! My email is Justwalknthebch@aol.com. Also... has anyone who posted found a legit lender since posting??? What do people do who need help??
