I was in a desperate situation trying to find some financial help with my daughter's tuition for college. I didn't have enough money with the finacial aid i recieved, so i resorted to looking on line for help with a loan. I signed up with an ad on the internet stating they would help anyone with any credit situations. I was then contacted by mrs sharlene miller with zerwit financial group stating that i was approved for a loan of 5000.00 with an interest rate of 17%, and monthly payments of 176.84. She also stated that the loan had to be secured, so she gave me three options. 1-putting up property that was paid for. 2- putting up a vehicle that was within 2 years old and paid for. 3- a secured insuarance deposit of 600.00.
I chose the latter, and decided to send in 600.00 (but i told mrs miller it would take me a minute to get the 600.00). She then told me once i sent it in by moneygram or western union i would need to fax her the reciept and then they would deposit the money in my account within 12 hrs and the security deposit i paid would be refunded back to me after 3 months if i paid the monthly payments on time.
I consulted with a co worker on this, because something didn't sit right with me. We went on line to look up zerwit finacial and we could not locate it. We then looked up intel finacial and that's when we seen all the rip off reports filed on this company. I want to thank the people that came forward and reported these people, even though they were taken advantage of.
Their story prevented me from making the same mistake. As i was reading the information on line, mrs miller from the alleged zerwit finacial called my job and i told her we were looking at reports on line regarding the company she represented and she told me that she was not with intel finacial and i stated, that they were on the paperwork she wanted me to sign.
I also told her that i called the bbb to inquire about their company and she hung up. So far she has not called back. I just thank the lord and also the people that felt the need to report these crooks. They take advantage of hard working people who are in desperate need.
People should always remember that the seed you sow on this earth, you shall reap. When you deliberatley take advantage of people you will lose so much more in the end. I'm also concern about my information that was faxed over to these people (my ss#, dl#, paycheck stub).
I pray to god that they don't take it and use it for no good as they have already. I pray that these people can be stopped. This is a very serious matter that should be deeply investigated.
