Ok, First Atlantic Investment Group... Total scam. Unfortunetely, my husband and I fell for it because we were in dire need of some money. Loan officer "Jeremy Spencer" told us we were approved for the loan and we needed to wire funds to "Lisa Fullerton" in Brooks, Alberta Canada in the amount of $2300. Did that. About 2 hours later "Matthew Burke" called to tell us we needed to wire another $2600 to secure the loan and guarenteed after that, the funds would be deposited into our account within 3 hours.
Faxed us over signed documents and everything. So we did (actually it was only 2K b/c we were credited some). Needless to say, no money appeared. And when we spoke to "Matthew" on Tuesday he said the lender completely backed out of the loan and he would refund our money on June 9. Yesterday, we called to demand our money back NOW!"Matthew" hung up on my husband and has since not picked up a single phone call from either of us.
I have called the Portland Police Department and they said I am the fifth call in 2 days complaining about them. I have a call in to the Attorney General's office and I will be calling Consumer Protection next. These people have $4300 of my money and I intend to get it back, no matter how long the process takes. PLEASE, DO NOT send them any money. You will never see it again. I encourage everyone who has been a victim of this scam to call the AG ASAP. Hopefully we can stop them.
