My husband and I were contacted by Sott Granger at Silverfield Fiancial Group on June 24. He assured us we were approved for a 5,000 loan. However since it was an unsecured loan and our credit not so great, we had to put a deposit down.
On June 25 we wired the money to the address he gave us and said we would receive our money direct deposited within 1 business day. The next day June 26 we recieved a phone call from Thomas Reynolds ho claimed to be customer service manager and told us we needed to wire another $770 on top of the $700 that we already sent.
I told him that we have no other funds he said to take a payday loan. We told him that we want a refund of our deposit. He kept telling me we have a contract and we did not read it. We DID!!! The part that was missing was this is a complete SCAM.
We were told that we are getting our money back July 23. I am not counting on seeing this money. What I am counting on is giving what they have coming to them.
I have contacted several authorities.including my county District Att. Who has contacted them. I am sure that this company will no longer have an active phone as of 7/23/09 when we are suppose to get our deposit. But I can assure you that I have found out a lot about the people behind this scam.
DO NOT send money... The CONTRACT that they say is legal IS NOT. According to the Federal Trade Commission it is ILLEGAL to collect a cash deposit for a cash loan whether it is called a DEPOSIT or INSURANCE.
Save yourselves the hassle of not getting your money back.
