Camidor Consolidation Group Internet/Loan Scams Cleveland, Ohio

Just letting everyone know, I hired a private investigator who went to the address listed on the internet and loan papers... This Suite # 1604 has been empty for over 2 years... Mailed has been returned to the Post Office because it is undeliverable.

I have pictures to prove my statements... this is not a valid company, valid address, etc.  I encourage everyone who has been ripped off by this company to file with the Ohio Attorney General's office, Western Union Fraud Department, IC3 (internet fraud), and your state's Attorney General. 

Perhaps with enough complaints, there will be a chance for a trace to the principals of this company.. since the wire transers were made to Canada, I would also encourage filing with the Canadian Mounted Police... Enough voices can be heard.. Please file and stand together... We are all victims!!

   Sorry I didn't see this the first time it came out, I might have saved you some time and money.  The Advance Fee Loan Scam is one of the most popular on the Internet.  The FTC even has a webpage dedicated to it :

   As you have now discovered, there is no company.   This is just a couple of scammers with throwaway cell phones and Internet access.  The company names they use are made up or stolen from legit companies.  The documents you received were fabricated on a computer.  The people you talked to did not use their real names.  They insisted you use Western Union because they know the money is not traceable.  They had you send the money to Canada because no U.S. law enforcement agency is going to have jurisdiction there.

  If I were you, I'd cut my losses at this point.  There is no way you're going to be able to identify these people.   Short of a combined law enforcement effort between the U.S. and Canada (don't hold your breath), these scammers aren't going to be caught anytime soon.   I suspect by now they've recycled the operation with new names, websites and phone numbers and are working on a new crop of victims.
