Global Funding LLC has scammed Emilio F. An innocent business owner / owner operator into giving them $9,550.00 [RETAINER FEE] on January 22 ck#1475 if you want details I have them. I am writing for Emilio a victim residing in Florida, struggling to make it regardless of the fuel prices he is determined to get thru this.
A Peterbilt representative Frank Tabares of Tampa referred Emilio to Global Funding LLC for financing. Apparently (GFllc) has been mis representing themselves in the past... Why would a dealership recommend them? Think about it... Anyways. They asked for "Bruno" an employee of (GFllc) the translator. Emilio and his wife Roxana were led by Bruno because they lack the English language. DATED: January 16 paperwork, the "proposal" was faxed by Tracy Johnson (Document/Funding Dept.) to Emilio to his fax at home in Miami.
After filling out all the presented docs; a few days past and Bruno called them to come in and stated over the phone that they were approved for $40,000.00 to purchase commercial equipment. A few days later in Jan. Emilio received a letter from (GFllc) [dated 1-16-08 but mailed a few days later] stating that he needs a deposit of $9,550.00. This amount included the following ($3,000.00 deposit and 3 future payments toward the commercial equipment they so called were approved for of $5,700.00 and a documentation fee of $850.00)
On January 22 Emilio and wife went to (GFllc) in Clearwater and gave "Bruno" an employee a deposit and other paperwork needed. Emilio asked Bruno how long will it take to complete this... He replied "10 business days." They were told that the process was completed and approved. (it doesn't work like that at a car dealership) hmmm???
The check was cashed the very next day! The 10 days had past and Emilio took a visit to (GFllc) they spoke with an employee "Cassandra Michel" [email protected]. On 1-25-08 she faxed to Roxana Munoz at 305-823-5459 it states exactly the following [here is the (GFllc) application. Please sign and complete and please fax back to my attention. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.]
While they were at (GFllc) Casandra asked them for proof of insurance for the commercial equipment. Quickly Emilio seeks insurance and pays $1,300.00 deposit (required by law when you drive out) They even contact the salesman Frank at Peterbilt of Tampa to get the VIN#, Title etc for the intended purchase. (hmmm if he was approved 10 days ago, the bank would of had this info before approving) After all this takes place... Bruno tells Emilio to wait 4 days more and it will be a done deal.
The 4 days past along with 2 weeks..in the meantime... The "ASSET" was sold to another buyer... Emilio was trying to contact Bruno and Casandra and no one would reply. Emilio drove from Miami, FL to Clearwater; the office to ask for his money back and they kicked him out claiming they didn't know who he was!!! The police even showed up to deal with the situation...
I have contacted Florida Finance Regulation; they took interest in the case and are dealing with the Attorney General to resolve. Till this day GFllc is still operating. They have not made any attempt to resolve this, they won't take my calls or Emilios. They never return calls, or no one is ever there. This is white collar crime case and they need to be punished for stealing consumers money.
If anyone at Global is reading this call me, contact me show your face for once and face Emilio while your at it. GFllc has done this to many people nationwide. If you are a victim please contact me to get you in touch with a fraud investigator already working this case.
It's August Emilio lost $9,550.00 ck# 1475 and lost $1,300.00 insurance deposit. Money isn't the only thing lost here...
