I wish I had googled the company phone number before I was ripped off for $1000. It was on a Friday when I sent the money and I didn't listen to my gut that told me at first, you don't send money to get money. After I sent the money, "Matthew Berg, " contacted my husband and told him that he need to send more money in order to complete the loan. I came home and began to investigate more thoroughly this company. I located a company at the address with a different number, they were and are using a legitimate companies address, they are located in Canada. This company gave me the number to phonebusters and the Attorney General in the state of Maine. I contacted both.
"Matthew Berg" is the customer service person and "David Taylor" the associate those are the only two names this person uses as contacts to the company with "Neil Martin" being the company CEO. The insurance adjuster is "Sharon Brown". I did not send anymore money to this company, after being scammed for $1000. If you call the number now it is an automated voice recording that will say, "Your universal number has been placed on hold." If you go to the site statewidelenders.com don't complete the information unless you're in a postion to put in a fake SS# because then they will contact you by phone. They then will direct you to their phoney site FirstAtlanticGroup.net. I hope this man is brought to justice soon.
I'm still so frusted and mad at myself that even now I'm not even able to make sense of why in a desperate time I let my guard down to be taken by something so stupid now. I consider myself to be a very aware and alert person.
