I along with several others fell for the Hillside Financial scam. I was contacted regarding an on-line loan application I filled out. I sent them the first 4 payments and was told my loan would be in my account the next day. The next day I was contacted and told that the lenders insurance company would not insure the loan unless I made an additional 4 payments. Like an idiot, I wired them another 4 payments. I was told the money would then be in my account the next day. The following day I was contacted by Mark Hamilton and he told me that the department who deposits the money was backed up and that I would have it by the next day. Well the next day was a Saturday, and of course the money was not deposited. It was not until Monday that he contacted me to tell me the loan company had backed out. He said that they had found another lender who would take my loan if I would send them another 8 payments. Of course, by then I was beginning to wonder about this company. I argued with them on the phone and demanded my 8 payments back. I was informed that the lender only did refunds on July 13. I have asked Mark Hamilton several times to fax me something in writing that I would receive my money back no later than July 13 and have not received any fax yet. I am not sure what else to do about this. If anyone has any advice please feel free to contact me.
