I was on the internet looking for a place where I could get a personal loan to help my son out.
I received a phone call from an ADAM WHITE from Cedarbrook Lending, telling me that I was approved for an 8000.00 loan, around October 15. I called him back on October 20 and he in turn told me that I would need to send (as a security deposit) $1300.00 and that there would be a $26.00 processing fee. I needed to go to wal-mart and send this as a money gram to a MELINDA OLSEN in BURNABY CANADA. I did, and then called Mr. White to let him know that it was sent. Then on October 21 I received a phone call from STANLEY DENTON telling me that they encountered a problem and the lender was requesting another $1300.00, so again I borrowed money from family members to send this yet again to MELINDA OLSEN in BURNABY CANADA with the $26.00 processing fee. Again on October 22 Mr. Denton called and said that the lender has now backed out and that I would receive the $2652.00 and an addition $300.00 because they felt bad that the lender backed out. However mr. Denton stated that he had another lending that was willing to loan me double my first loan, but I would need to send more money. I told him I needed to talk to my husband and see what he said. He did tell me however that the $2652.00 plus $300.00 would be deposited into my account on the next billing cycle which was November 24
At this point in time my husband wanted to talk to Mr. Denton so I gave him the phone number and he called. Mr Denton assured him that once we made an additional $2000.00 security deposit the money ($16000.00) would be in my account the next day. So my husband was able to get the $2000.00 for me and I took it to walmart, but this time I was to send it to DEBBIE CRAWFORD in SELKIRK CANADA with processing fee of $40.00, this was all sent on October 22.instead of the money in my account on 10/23 Mr. Denton again called and said that the $600.00 that he was trying to get waived the lender was wanting it, so again on 10/23 we sent $600.00 with a processing fee of 14.16 to DEBBIE CRAWFORD in SELKIRK CANADA once Mr. Denton was told that the money was sent he again assured me that there would be no more hold ups, well hold up there was, on 10/24 instead of hearing the the money was in my account he told me that the Canadian boarder would not allow the money to come throught because now I needed to pay taxes before the Canadian boarder would let it come through. He told me that all I needed to send was $1600.00, so yet again we called family and friends and was able to get the money. So on 10/24 we went to walmart to send the money yet again to DEBBIE CRAWFORD and their machines were down, walmart told us we could go to ACME, or WEGMANS in Downingtown. My husband and son went to ACME and when my son talked to a gentleman about sending this money, instead of allowing him to do so, he gave my son phone numbers to the BBB, local FBI and a few other places. My son told my husband and my husband went outside to call Mr. Denton to tell him about this man telling my son that Cedarbrook was a fraud. Mr Denton continued to reassure him that they were not. So intead of taking the advise and stopping we went to Wegmans and sent the money. Once again my son talked to Mr. Denton as well as myself and he assured us again that the money would be there the next day which would have been Monday October 27. Again I got a phone call telling me that me that Mr. Denton had to fire his secretary because she told him wrong information, and the lender needed another additonal $1600.00. I told Mr. Denton that we had no more money to send them, we borrowed and spent all the money we had and had nothing more. Also I told him that this was Cedarbrook Lending's error and that they needed to fix this, my husband even got on the phone and told Mr. Denton. Mr. Denton told me that he was going to take this loan to a personal level and then tried to back out, I got really pissed off and told him that he opened his mouth, now he needed to tell me what he was going to do that was personal.
He stated that since this was his secretaries mistake he would put $900.00 of his own money to this second tax that needed paid, and that he would try t borrow the additional $700.00 so that I would receive the loan money.
This has been going on since October 24. On Wednesday November 19 I called Mr. Denton, heme that when he got paid on Friday November 21 he would put the additonal $700.00 toward the tax payment as that is when his company would get paid again and that I would have the money on Monday November 24. I asked him if he was unable to put the additonal $700.00 would I be assured that the security monies I have send totally close to (yeah big fool I am) $7000.00 would be in my account Monday 11/24. Mr. Denton said yes I would either have the $16000.00 or my security money. Well here it is November 25 and there has been no money of any kind deposited into my account. I have been trying to call ever since Friday 11/21 and all i hear if "GOODBYE", I then went online and to my (well not really) surprise I see that the website is down and then I see all of these fraud messages. There were several times I would call and have to leave a message and no return call, on night i called 4 times and then had my daughter call and Mr. Denton answered so she gave me the phone to talk to him, I would also ask to speak to Mr. Garrison only to be told that he does not speak to the clients. I told Mr. Denton that the company I work for if need be is able to talk to the CEO, what makes Mr Garriso so special that he does not need to talk to clients, is this a rip off or something, if he values his company he should talk to clients.
I really would like to know how many other people these guys have scammed and how someone can do this and live with themselves.
I agree with the holidays coming this is really a hardship. All I wanted was an 8000.00 loan and these guys took all the my we had and now we have nothing. And yes my children have to suffer a very scarce Christmas like many others. If only I would have known that this was a scam I would have stopped but like others I have read this was like a dream come true, a great loan to get someone on their feet and keep a child from going to jail.
Where are all the honest people that really want to help someone?
