I have just been a victim of Immediate Finacial Services scam. I was "guarenteed" a personal loan by Ashley Frye in the amount of $7000.00. I was told by Ms. Frye that all I needed to do was to send a collatoral payment in the amount of $1750.00. Once the payment was to be recieved than my loan would be deposited into my checking account within 24-48 hours. I believed Ms. Frye and due to my needing this loan desperatly, I sent the 1750.00 (plus 109 fee from western union) to a Shauvonne Young in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Once the payment was sent I faxed Ms. Frye the Western Union reciept and was told that my money would be available by 10:00am the next day.
At 10:00am the next day I check my account and no money was deposited. I called Ms. Frye and asked her why the money was not sent and was than told that she failed to notify me that I would need to send another payment in the amount of $975.00 for insurance in case I was to become unemployed, injured, etc. I told Ms. Frye that I wanted my money back and was told that it would take 6-7 days for the return. I tried to call Ms. Frye on several occasions to see why it would take a week when it did not take a week for them to receive my money yet my calls were never returned.
I was than able to get in touch with Germaine Gabriel who identified himself as being the manager. Mr. Gabriel advised me and guarenteed me that once the $975.00 payment was sent than my funds would be sent. I believed Mr. Gabriel since he proclaimed to be the manager. I than sent the $975.00 (plus the western Union fee to be a total of 1009.00) to Shavonne Young, Oakville, Ontario Canada. Once this was sent I called Mr. Gabriel gave him the contol number from the money transfer and was told that the money would be sent within 24 hours. 24 hours passed and still no money.
I decided to go on line to look up Immediate Finacial Services and read about another person from Michigin (Tom) who expierenced the same lies and broken promises as I did. I couldnt believe my eyes, I thought I was going to throw up. I foolishly used my rent money to send those payments and feared that now my family was going to be evicted.
I called Mr. Gabriel and told him of my findings and he denied that this was a scam and that my money would be sent now by 3:00 that day. I again trusted Mr. Gabriel.
Well 3:00 came and guess what. No money. I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown. I immiediatly called Mr. Gabriel and told him that the money still was not there. He told me that they were working on it and it was in the hands of the accounting department. I asked him if there was a number that I could reach someone at the accounting department and he said that there was not. I asked to speak to a manager (as I at this time doubted anything and everything that Mr. Germaine Gabriel said to me including him being a manager) and he told me that he was the manager. I called several hours later and was than told that the money would be sent as it was just released.
The next morning I again checked on my account and surprise surprise no money. I again called Mr. Gabriel and he now tells me that I need to send another payment in the amount of eight hundred and something to cover the tax since the payment was sent to Canada. My jaw nearly hit the ground. I could not believe this. How can the money already be released as I was told the night before, and now I need to send more money? I was a fool twice, not a third. I told Mr. Gabriel that he was a liar, and what I read about him by Tom was true. He told me that Tom was a liar and again that this was not a scam. I told him that I didnt believe him and that I wanted my money back.
Mr. Gabriel told me that he would send the money and it would take about a week to recieve it. I asked him how it would be sent to me (if it would be sent via FedEx as he told Tom) and he said that it would come through the mail. He than told me that Tom recieved his money back last week. I told him that as of 11.25.05 Tom did not recieve it as that was the date that Tom wrote his Rip Off report, and of course Mr. Gabriel informed me that Tom recieved his money after the 25th. I would like to know if Tom has even recieved his money.
Mr. Germaine Gabriel, Ashley Frye, Immediate Financial Services is indeed a scam. They prey on people who are in such financial despair that they believe all of the broken promises that they are told and send them the only money that they have.
I am now without my rent money, I cannot get my van out of the repair shop and my life is in complete turmoil over this. I have 3 children and will have no money to get them anything for Christmas. I am crying now as I write this because I cannot believe that I fell for this.
I hope that Mr. Gabriel, Ms. Frye and all Immediate Financial Services associates are caught and will be stopped. I do not know how they can sleep at night knowing well enough of the evil deception that they are doing.
