Certified Lendings Group Was promised funds after security deposit was received, then was told a second security deposit was needed to release funds. refused refund, BEWARE!!! Annapolis Maryland

I doubt seriously that this is a " company " at all, but rather some scam artists. NO company EVER requires money up front for a personal loan or start up loan. Any fees are ALWAYS added into the loan amount. You'll never see you money again, and it's very doubtful that any law enforcement agency will ever catch them, as they are here today, gone tomorrow. NEVER put any money up front for a loan, grant, gift, lottery, sweepstakes, giveaway, etc. NEVER !!!!!!!!!

I am sorry to hear you got scammed. There are many of these companies out there. I too was scammed by City Lending Group if you look at City Lending Group rip off report look for Jill B from Waterford MI there is contact information please contact me.

Clifford-

I am sorry for your loss. Here is what happened to me....

I was contacted by Certified Lending Group Monday May 12th. I was contacted by a Robert Miller ext 129. He informed me that I was approved for a loan amount of 35,000 and needed to verify a few details. Robert then proceeded to tell me that the private lender that was backing the loan required collateral to secure the loan. Robert emailed me a promisorry note containing the terms and conditions of the loan and repayment. After reviewing, I faxed it back. I was then instructed to send a money gram in the amount of $2,100 to secure the loan to a Arnold McKiney in Oakville, Ontario Canada. Money Gram Order Confirm: 87782263 I proceeded to then call back Certified Lendings Group customer service and relayed the confirmation number on to them so they could release the funds into my bank account via direct deposit.

The next morning, the funds were not deposited. I called Robert Thursday May 15th, 2008, and he advised to contact customer service. I did so, learning that an additional colatteral payment was required to secure the loan proceeds within 4 hours. Again, I transacted a Money Order Payment to an Arnold McKinley in Oakville, ON Canada. Confirmation 61156023.

Friday May 16th, 2008, I called Certified Lendings Groups cusotmer service, informing them that my direct deposit had not occurred. I was informed that I was entitled to a refund due to the additional closing costs required by the lender and would have it by no later than May 30th, 2008

I found no funds had been deposited into my account. I then found the Better Business Bureau of Maryland, and learned this was a known fraudulent company.
