I have yet to receive my loan of $7000 after providing the collateral of the up front payment of the first three months (monthly payment $150 totaling $450) which was sent on 4/27 via Western Union Wite Transfer Money in Minutes at a total fee of $38 to a Erwin Bradley in Ontario Canada. When the loan never appeared in my account within the 3 hours as promised I gave until next business day for good measure but still nothing. I call the next day when no funds where made available of the loan and was told it was a simple mistake and it would be fixed, but it wasn't. Instead I was informed another $581 was needed from me for supposed tax of said loan to which I refused and requested a full refund of my money, the agreement was made all money owed would be returned which included Wire Transfer Fee via check and would arrive no later than 5/3. I spoke to Ms. Amber Davidson at Ext. 600 during the entire process and was assured all would be fine, it was. It and come Wednesday no check came and I did make the attempt to call Ms. Davidson, she did not answer but I did leave a message for her to call me back. Come Thursday I got neither a phone call nor a check with my money, I went ahead and called once again to see when I could expect my money but yet again no answer and another message. On Friday 5/5 I made my last attempts to reach Ms. Davidson about this matter and called a total of 12 times with not a single answered call or returned message.

Was contacted after a local loan offer fell through. They offered to loan us $15,000 just needed to send in $810 for the first three months payment, along with ID, ssn, and bank account. My husband provided all of that. Waited 3 days and told we needed to send $1200 more dollars for interest then money would be deposited. Waited 3 more days, still nothing. Was told needed $800 more for some random fee. At which point I stepped in and called them. She was very rude and belittled me. I then contacted the FTC and was informed this had all the criteria of a scam. I'm reporting them because the convinced my husband to wire via Western Union, $2000 that we don't have to begin with and had to borrow. I had to lock down our credit and bank info along with having my husband apply for a new drivers license. I pray this never happens to anyone else!!

Legal Department

Concord Financial Investments.

I never applied for a loan through them. I did fill out apps for several online loans and assumed my info was sent to this company via a 3rd party. Once Ms.. Merlin contacted me over the phone she said because of my credit ( which is pretty decent ) I would need a co-signer with a fico of 750 and it couldn't be a family member. Or a 2013 car with equity the amount of the loan, lastly $450 to pay upfront the monthly $150 fee for the loan so they have collateral and assurance that I can pay it. I asked her what's my guarantee that I'm not sending out $450 to a random stranger and will never see my money again or the $7k loan, she said oh well we are on the BBB. I said oh okay great. I almost sent her the money, but she said her legal Dept was going to send the contract first and then I could send the $450 tomorrow morning after I sign the contract. I asked her who they got my info from because I didn't get any hard pull on my credit profile. She said Nationwide, and made up some really good story why there was no hard pull. Later that night I looked them up on ScamPulse.com and saw that they were rated F, didn't respond to your inquiries, had just started their business April 4th not even 30 days, and scam, fraud, illeagle was written all over this. I read that these advance pay loans are illeagle and you must have a license to give loans in every state you are attempting to do business in etc. The next morning after I received her silly contract, I called and played along as if I was going to send the money. Then started dropping bombs on her very subtly. When I asked how long she'd been in business she said 26 years, I replied oh the ScamPulse.com says you've been in business 20 days and have you an F rating. They also said this type of loan isn't even legal. She had fantastic replies for everything, very smooth, I could tell she'd been probably running this scam for 26 years and knew the law and the ins and outs. She kept her poise, but I could tell she got taken a back when I told her the ScamPulse.com gave her an F rating and warned folks to run away from this scam. Here's my biggest problem. How did this woman get all of my personal information, this female dog has my ss my address, phone numbers, everything! And was asking for 2 forms of government ID and pay stubs. She was about to go ham on my credit profile. Please go arrest this villain. I asked her if she could prove that she's been in business for 26 years she said well if you know someone who lives in New York have them come to our offices. I replied I think I will have the city attorney come visit you in your offices, thank you.

I did not get scammed , but it has to be one . I talked to a lady named Lynette Barnes . She said I was approved for a $10,000.00 loan. I have a 640 credit score . I was told I had 3 different choices. I could get a co - signer , put my car up for collateral or pay the first 3 payments in advance. I told her I could do the 3 months. She aid I had 5 days to make a decision or I would have to re-apply . I called the 411 and asked if they had a number for the company. They didn't see anything. I tried the phone number and no results. They said there was a business with the same address , so she gave me the number. That was no longer in service. It was an investment company also. Then I tried you and it existed under the non ScamPulse.com under the Web sight only. It's to good to be true , when all the companies that were legit denied me or_wanted 26 % or more. These guys were saying 8.6 %. They have a very creditable Web sight . It says they do business and home loans also. I may be wrong, but it's too risky.

I applied for a loan on a website ,a few days later I got a call from Robin Wallace and she left a VM saying good news you have been approved for a loan in the amount of 20,000. I was in shock so I contacted my branch manager at my branch and told him about the call. He forwarded me to be careful sounds like a scam. I said I will find out more info. I called Robin at ext 220 and told her I got her msg regarding the loan . She said yes due to my credit she was able to find a third party lender for me. She said there is a stipulation thou. 1 have a consigner with 700+ credit score ,2 make 3 upfront payments and my payments wouldn't start till Sept , 3 is take out ins for 2800 I Incase of illness they will cover the cost of the loan for 12 months and it won't affect ur credit.

She asked what I would like to do and I said I guess make 3 mth payments upfront ,she said ok I will send the loan agreement to you sign it and send back.

I read it over and seem legit and sent her my DL along for identification as she required .

After sending it I got really uneasy and started searching and was finding others where affected by other companies doing this . So I thought well let's see when I call the next day and see what she wants me to do.

So of course I called her and she said to send 595.00 by Western Union she did have a lender in Canada for me . She went through the details of the western union slip what to check off and to send to a Brenda benson in Milton Ont . I was like omg in my head this is a scam .

So I was telling her I was concerned regarding to a WU money wire . She said it is only cause many people failed to follow through in the past so this Insures the transaction.

I then received a call from Dwayne stating that Robin called him stating my concerns . He assured me this is real and that I signed an agreement that's legal . After talking to him i was considering on sending the money ,then a few things got my attention and I was like something isn't right . So I checked my credit and there was no hit so means they never checked it. Also the agreement stated they been around since 1990 but on ScamPulse.com it says they opened April 4,2017.. something not sitting right . So needless to say as good as it sounds it is too good to be true. Always investigate before handing any Money to anyone . As much as I need the loan I can't afford to give out what I need to get what I need ...beware people

I wish it was a legit lender cause today's living is getting harder and harder to live in .
