Contacted by the company Amy Peterson that I was approved for a 6000 loan. Documents were faxed to me, signed and faxed back. She advised they either needed 450 to insure the loan, a car title or three months payment in advance.
I wired the 450 to a Mark Williams with the promise of the money in my account the next day. The next day Mr. Lews Anderson called stating the funds were scheduled to be in my account the following Monday. After much discussion he said he would push through for Friday.
On Friday Mr. Lews Anderson called to say the lender didn't like my application and he was looking for another lender. On Tuesday he called saying he could only get me the funds if I send another 800 in insurance money.
I told him I didn't have it so he said the lender would accept 600 insurance money and the additional 200 with the first payment. I again wired 600 to Mr. Mark Williams (the courier). I received a call shortly after from Western Union the transaction was on hold because Mr. Williams was on a security list.
I called Mr. Anderson with Orizon to find out what was going on he told me not to worry it would be resolved quickly and the fund would be in my account. I immediately contacted Western Union and got the 600 back.
Mr. Anderson called me the next day to say Mr. Williams was out of town and to have the funds sent to Ms. Janet Grundy. I told him no he needed to wire the 6000 to me as promised. He stated he would try to find another lender.
I launched a complaint with the FTC (Federal Trade Commision) a fraud case with Western Union for the original 450 and am trying to locate the governing entity in Jamaica for lending brokers.
There address is a legitimate office building, which I have contacted several businesses within this building and they have not heard of Orizon Financial Group.
I never applied for a loan with them, but due to a divorce and credit score that went from over 800 to below 500, I was trying to find a bad credit loan and I believe this is how they received my information. I was desperate for the funds so I went against my judgement and forwarded them my Social Security number and bank account inforamtion. Needless to say I now have to file identity theft with Social Security and my bank, close my account etc.
If these people try to contact you or if anyone says they need funds up front dont do it... It is a scam
