Ah yes, I too have fallen prey to these scam artists. My amount was $1685.72 sent to a Connie Anderson, 275 Bay St. Toronto.
Hilary McIntosh was the assumed identity of the loan representative. The FBI has told me not to expect to ever get the money back.
The Web site www.thespheriongroup.com has been shut down, it appears. But they're still operating, I'm sure.
The bottom line is, don't send anybody money to receive a loan. And only go through a licensed financial institution.
It's been two weeks since the scam and I am still very upset, but we have no recourse against them, fellow consumers. They're a faceless, invisible organization. I wish I had not ignored my intuition that said that this was not a credible company.
