I, like so many others have been having financial difficulties, so I applied for an online loan. I get an email from the above mentioned saying they can offer a loan with a one time insurance payment of $486.
So while I was thinking about it, I decided to do a little investigative work to verify that this was an actual company helping poor people (they don't exist anymmore so don't even bother). I couldn't find anything! Nothing at all. Type in their name on a search engine. Notta! So I decided to go with my gut instinct that was telling me not to do this.
So throughout the day I continue looking just in case. Nothing still. I recieve an email during the end of the day saying that they need to hear from me within 24 hours or they will consider my loan abandoned. The heading to the email said Goodlife Financial, but when I clicked on it, it brought me to http://kingsviewfinancial.com.interesting...
So this morning I go to Yahoo Australia (just on a whim), I typed in Goodlife Financial and it brings me to the consumer complaints website. But the name was a little different. So I started just looking under the loan section in Washington DC. One of the first entries were "Kingsview Financial".
They didn't snag this one, I just wanted to put it out there that they are still up and running, just under a different name (s).
Also, when I did a reverse look-up on the address, it came up as a residential address with a 95 year old woman living there. However, then you search the address just on a regular search engine, it came up with SEVERAL different business names at the address, but it had a Suite 300 added to it.
Don't be fooled! Do your research. I am thankful that I did.
