Great Lake Financial
Personal Loan Scam Artists ripoff

My girlfriend and I applied over the phone for a $20,000 personal loan to be paid back with monthly payments of $400 over 5 years. Great Lake Financial asked for collateral of $2,000, i.E. The first 5 monthly payments be paid to an Eric Gomez in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada through Moneygram due to our poor credit history. We were told the private lender they were using was based in Canada.

The first $2,000 went through and we got a call requesting another $2,000 and we wouldn't have to make another payment for 10 months. The company said they had the right to make a final revision to the loan. That went through and we were told we would have the $20,000 in our account in 4 hours.

The weekend went by and there were still no funds deposited in our account. We were then told that the private lender in Canada was requesting $800 to pay for taxes and fees to have the money transferred in the U.S.

At this point we requested a full refund of our $4,000 which we were told we had the right to request for up to 30 days. The customer service person did not take kindly to this request and said if we were going to act like this, then instead of getting the money back on Friday, July 13 (4 days later) which we first requested, we would get it back on August 20 (30 business days).

I have absolutely 0% confidence that nay kind of refund whatsoever will be paid. When we call the phone number now it asks if we would like to leave a message.

All people in need of a personal loan, please steer clear of these scam artists. The main people we talked to were Jason Evans and Kerry Evans.
