PillarStone Equity Group
Frauds, will steal your money, do not respond to phone calls

I was contacted by Pillarstone Equity Group after many failed attempts to gain a personal loan. They contacted me via phone, telling me I had applied on their web site, when I had never even heard of them. Against my better judgement, I had them send me an application, which clearly was fake, outlining the parameters of the loan. I was in desperate need of financial assistance and fell hook, line, and sinker for the story "sold' to me by Jeff Hughes, one of the loan brokers. I was told I had to send money via Western Union transfer to Spain, because the bank there was securing my loan.

Again, against my better judgement, I had the money to send, hoping that I wasn't getting scammed, knowing how poor my credit was, I felt backed into a corner. The money was supposed to be wired into my account in 2 business days. When the money did not appear, I called the office, and was transferred to a "customer service" rep manager, who told me there was a "problem" with my credit check and I would need to send more money. I said absolutely not and I wanted a refund, which NEVER happened. Pillarstone is a fraud and a fake, and I am embarrassed that I fell for their story.

I was so desperate to resolve my financial situation I dug myself into a deeper hole, taking a hit of over $800. I feel sorry for people who also fell for their story, people would never get involved with a scam unless they fell on hard times, like myself. This company and the people who "work" for it should know that they are awful individuals and I am not sure how they sleep at night knowing what they are doing to people. I am glad that I realized, too late, that they robbed me. Karma is a bad thing to mess with and I hope the people I dealt with at that fictional company face nothing but hardship in the future. I hope this assists people who are contacted or have been contacted by the dishonest people associated with Pillarstone. To block phone call and ignore people who you knowingly stole money from is DISGUISTING and may bad luck follow-you for a LIFE TIME.
