As I have read other complaints I also am a victim of this so-called Immediate Financia Services. Germaine Gabriel also contacted me stating I was approved for a $30,000.00 loan on a 10 year term. All I neeed to do was send $3000.00 by Western Union for the down payment and when that was received the money would be deposited into my account the next day.
I fell for it and sent a girl by the name of Trisha Marshall the money to a Western Union in Oakville Canada where he claimed the main branch was. Again he also assured me his tactics were completely legal, and the contact I had faxed to me even looked legit.
Of course the next day there were no funds in my account, and when I called to find out what was going on he told me the company wanted insurance on the loan before they would give me the money. I laughed and told him I was not sending anymore money and wanted my $3000.00 back immediately. He stated that was not going to happen and it would take almost a month to get my money back.
After being hung up on and placed on hold several times I decided to take a different approach. I contacted the Virginia Beach Police and advised them of the situation, along with the Oakville PD in Ontario Canada Fraud unit. Keeping close tabs on the web site and the phone number I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the web site goes down and the phone number becomes disconnected.
Also I'm aware that when ever there is a large amount of money transferred a photo ID is required to pick them up, so if I were you I would contact your local Western Union and request that copy is possible, or have your local Law Enforcement do it. I also saw the the other web site that is attached to this Immediate Financial one named Northern Financial or something. I left several emails to them also and so far nothing has returned.
I have to admit I usually am pretty cautious when it comes to these things, and I sure got SCAMMED this time. Mr. Gabriel, if that's even his name only answered on his cell phone every time I would call, I caught him one time getting out of his vehicle talking to me so as far as I know he could have been talking to me in CANADA.
I don't even know yet if the Virginia address is any good. He refused to give me any contact numbers for the "MAIN OFFICE" or any names. He claimed he only had contact through email. Good god what a criminal.
I also had to borrow the down payment and have to answer to family as to what happened, so Mr. Gabriel better pray that I or Law Enforcement can't find him because I will prosecute to the fullest extent. Lesson learned and I hope the rest of you either get your money back also or at the very least find Mr. Gabriel. If you do please let me know, I'm ready myself for a road trip.
