I was burned back in February by Guardian Financial group offering me a student loan but requiring a down payment to secure the loan. I sent 1500 dollars to a Person in Canada. The following week i was told i had to double that amount or i could not get the loan. I told them i would not and that i wanted my deposit back. The Supervisor stated that i must wait 30 days for the company to return my money based on billing and return cycles. I started calling back every week to try and keep up with the company make sure they intended on giving my money back by the 3rd week when i would call i would get a "GOODBYE" message and then the number would hang up.
As i did some research i found that the address belonged to a doctors office and that the number and website was setup through a HONG KONG ISP and phone company. Also upon further investigation i found out that they are not based out of South Carolina but Pennsylvania, 570 area code. I tracked down and found that they are using a FAX Mail provider which allows them to email to a fax number there by blocking their actual number sent on an email.
So if you get a call from a 570 area code and they offer you a loan or anything else back off collect the number and call the authorities or go to the FBI website and send them the info. I was too late in getting the Exact info but have already informed the FBI and Pennsylvania state police they were helpful in letting me know that they have gathered several reports and have a list of possible suspects but could not mention any more details.
