Fairview Financial RIPPED ME OFF FOR 1950.00! And I will get my money back! Ripoff

I applied for a loan online for 7000.00. About a month later Fairview Financial called me and said I was approved for the full amount of 7000.00. I was excited because i really needed the money. I have had bad credit in the past. I knew it would be hard for me to get a loan. So when they told me that I would have to pay $1250.00 up front for insurance on the loan because i had bad credit i wasn't suprised.

It did make me suspicious, so I went on to the better business bureau website and they were listed and w/out any complaints. I figured then i was ok. I told the woman (Linda Goodwin) that I did not have that much money. Linda told me that I could pay 760.00 down and then pay the remainder of the money when I receive the loan. I borrowed money from my parents to cover it. She took down all of my bank information for the wire transfer and gave a confirmation number that i would see on my bank statement.

I couple hours later she called me to tell me that she could not release the loan unless i paid the remainder of the insurance fee. She said that it was policy with loans above 5000.00. I borrowed the rest of the money from my sister. I sent a money gram to a Jim Faxton in Alberta, Canada again. I was told he was a privit lender for the company. (WOW, writing this really makes me realize how bad i got scamed! Oh. It gets worse.) Linda said I would receive the funds in my bank account at 6:00pm (this was on Friday 7/14). When the money was not there i tried to call her 10 thousand times. I also left numerous messages. I went all weekend not knowing what was going on.

Monday my mother and I called Linda many times to try to find out what was going on. Finally I received a call at around noon from a woman named Alaina Sheppard she apoligzed for the way my loan was being handled and went on and on of how unprofessional linda was. Alaina said she would now be handeling my loan process. She explained to me that the insurance fee was not 1250.00 but 1950.00 because my loan was over 5000.00. So that meant tnat I had to come up with another 500.00 just so the loan could be released in to my account. I was so angry. Alaina reassured me that Linda did not know what she was doing, and for the inconvience Fairview Financial would pay my first four months loan payments. I felt better and now more than ever i needed the money, not just for me but to pay back my family which i told i would only be borrowing the money for a couple of hours.

The money was sopost to be in my account on Tuesday (7/18) at 5:00pm. Of course it wasn't. Wednesday I called all day. I never got a call back. I did call from a different number and said i was someone else and she answered. Once she realized that it was me she hung up. That is when I realized how stupid i was.

I got scamed for 1950.00 which isn't even my money. I am now dealing with Wells Maine police. They are very cooperative. If this has happened to you contact the police. Your can also respond to me at jjill2223@comcast.net. I have spoken with others with the same issue. I'm getting a lawyer and i will fight this to the bitter end. The more that come forward the better chance we have at bringing this company down.

I will be updating this report when i receive more information.
