About a week ago, got a phone call from a Michael Morris. He is supposed to be Consultant Manager for Financial Network Investment Corp (877-278-5848). He told me i had been approved for a $5000.00 loan and that his investors are waiting to deposit money into my account. He stated if this was something i was interested in, he would get the contract written up and email me to sign. He told me i had to have some kind of collateral to put up to show investors i had all intentions or repaying. He told me since i di not have a newer model car to put up or wanted a co-signer, then i would have to go with an insurance payment of 375, this covers the first 3 months payment of coverage. He also told me the insurance agency that they deal with is Sledge Insurance Agency. So after i got contract, i read it over and it looked legit. I decided to do some research on him and this company before sending them one dime. I googled the phone number and i called Financial Network. The number goes to some apartment complex in Mexico. When i talked to the HR department for Financial Network, they assured me they have not heard of this person and he does not work for them. The HR rep even googled the number while we were on the phone together and got the same information on this number i got. So this Michael Morris is a fraud. Also I contacted Sledge Insurance Agency several times and all you get is a recording. Now this is supposed to be an insurance agency and never opened during the day. My gut feelings told me this was all a scam and these people are in on this together. I did not send any money and i emailed Michael. I told him the reasons as to why i no longer was interested. BBB tells you if anyone asks for money up front it is totally illegal. I told Michael if he can prove to me he is not a scam, by depositing funds into my account (minus the 375) then i may have a change of mind. Of course he is not hearing this. He continues to call leaving message on my recorder asking me what i want to do with this loan. I ignore him. I also thought is was strange that when he calls me it is always from an unknown number. His number do not appear on my phone that he is calling me from. Too many red flags.
