I really wish I had come across this sight before sending my hard earned money to these scam artist known as Southfield Financial Group. I'm sure they are laughing all the way to the bank.
They told me I would receive $7000 at 6% to be paid over 36 months and all I had to do was send them my first four payments up front totaling $850. I considered the matter for several days, checked out the website, etc.
I decided to go for it because I was already in a major financial bind. I sent the money and lo and behold, the $7000 did not appear in my account the following day as promised. I did have an urgent message that day saying I needed to call them because of a problem with my account. The investor who was to put up the money was requesting an additional 4 months payment due to a past bankruptcy, which I did have.
After alot of debating and discussion I went ahead and sent the other $850. Once again, no money was deposited into my account. The next day when I called I was told that that investor pulled out of the deal but that he was working with another one that would loan me $14000 but of course would require additional funds. This is when I basically told him where "to go" and used seveeral other choice words. He assured me I would be refunded the $1700 plus sending fees and $200 extra dollars on July 3rd. Needless to say this did not happen.
I filed a complaint with the BBB and when they sent a letter to the address given it was returned "Company Unknown" No Forwarding Address Surprise! Surprise I have names of several "players" that I dealt with or have correspondence from. Whether they are real names is doubtful but it may help others from being scammed. They include: Frank St* or St*, Michael B*, Jason T* and the supposed CEO Bernard S*. (ROR REDACTED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES)
I wasn also advised by the BBB to contact the Federal Trade Commission and/or the attorney general with this matter. We should all team up together and see if we can make something happen as a group!!! I would appreciate feedback from any one else who was "taken for a ride" by these people.
