This company poses as a lending group for people with bad credit. All documentation sent by Briarcliffe Financial Group looked legit. When they contacted me I was offered a $15,000 secured loan which they requires 3 months of payments upfront to secure the loan. After 1 year the security would be rolled into the loan toward the principle. It all sounded legit. The money was to be sent to Milton, Canada where the Broker was. I was asked to use Money Gram (Wal-Mart) to do the transaction. I was hesitant do do so and was told that I can put it in someones name I knew. As long as they see the money is there. I went to Money Gram web site and it stated that to receive the funds proper ID has to be presented. Well NOT! When they called me and stated that insurance was required in the amount of $1000, done the same way, I called Money Gram to check on the first transaction, it was cashed. I spoke with Agent Services about this since the name on the transfer was a childhood friend of mine which Briarcliffe did not know. After a heated discussion with them they made out a report to their Fraud department. How can they allow anyone to receive a transfer without ID. First she said they had fake ID's, I told her there was NO WAY since Briarcliffe DID NOT know the name to which I sent it and that they must have known, or paid, the person working for Money Gram to get the info. Bottom line - Stay CLEAR of Briarcliffe Financial Group and Money Gram. Neither of these companies are secure!
