I applied online for a personal loan for $5000.00, the next day a Jonathan Flemming the Senior Loan Officer called and said that I was approved for the loan, but I had to pay 6 months worth of payments upfront which totaled $911.64.
He said that I needed to moneygram the money to canada to a Cheryl Gaddy
and that by 5pm the next day I should have the $5000.00 directly deposited into my bank account.
So I went that day and moneygrammed the money and called Jonathon back with the confirmation number, he said great your money will be in the bank.
The next day by 4pm there was NO money in my account, I called back and
spoke with Jonathan again he said that he would get with the accounting Department and call me right back.
Well after an hour I called back and spoke with a Craig Marshall, who is supposedly right under the CEO (John Codwell), he said the "Lender" and the insurance company needed another $911.64 because my credit was not that great to secure this loan, I went and wrote 2 checks for a payday loan totaling $400.00 and my paycheck and my husband's paycheck.
I moneygrammed them another $911.64 to Cheryl Gaddy AGAIN! What was i thinking, I needed the money for medical bills and some of my monthly bills.
I called and spoke with this Craig Marshall again and gave him my confirmation number, he said great money by 5pm tomorrow in the bank!
WELL the next day by 4pm NO MONEY in the bank, so i called and spoke again with Craig Marshall he said that my loan was denied but he could get
me a $10,000 loan for another $911.64, then I started questioning, I said I believe I have just been scammed! He (Craig) said if this was a scam I would not even be talking to you right now! I told him I wanted a REFUND of my $1854.00 (this includes the money I spent on moneygrams), and he said that he could not do that until thier monthly cycling for refunds came on July 1st.
Since then I have not been able to get ahold of anyone at this rip-off company. I have told several people about this because they were considering trying to get a loan from the same place. So I warned them DO NOT USE PRESTON FINANCIAL!!!
