I was contacted based on information I had submitted online for an unsecured personal loan. They knew my information and indicated they received my information based on my application for a loan.

They offered me a $15,000 loan andindicated I needed to pay $1500 for an insurance premium on the loan. They faxed me a contract, which was legitimate, which I signed and also faxed a copy of my ID, a voided check, and a last payroll stub. I was working with a male who went by the name of Frank Balditzi (even spoke with a supervisor named Tim).

I was instructed to MoneyGram my payment to a lender named Angela Wehlan in Ajax, Ontario, Canada. I was very reluctant, but did it anyway, as I was in the need of financial help. My load money was to be in my account within 24 hours.

The next day the money had not arrived, and I called back and was told based on my bad credit I needed to pay the full "Premium" insurance which was another $1500. The total of $3000 was seemingly legitimate based on details within the contract.

I sent the additional $1500, but to someone "different" within the lender, named Markos Swaine (same location in Ajax). I also received a faxed "guarantee" letter that once the payment was received, my money would arrive no later than 3 hours. Well that was late yesterdya afternoon, and I haven't seen the money.

I did reserch on the web for fraud, and found other entries just like this, but the name was "Rockwood Financial Group." I would like to get these people, and get my money back. In my desparation, I have been really stupid and didn't do due dilligence before giving them my money. I will contact them today and we'll see what they say. How do I get my money now??? This REALLY hurts...single father with 3 kids. I'm starting to panic now. I have all the phone records, faxes, and receipts...I need help to get these guys and my money!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

AUTHOR: Mike - River Edge (U.S.A.)

But you've been had. They are not a real loan company and you are out the money. Never send Western Union or Moneygram EVER as this is 100% a sign of a scam. Also, what they did was called a fee in advance loan and they are not legal.

CEO of 1st Line Financial

AUTHOR: Sarkis - Van Nuys (U.S.A.)

Hello,
I am the owner of 1st line financial and have been getting emails from customers requesting money back for Rockworth Lending. All people should be aware of Rockworth Lending. When they try to call them, the employees tell these people that we are their sister company. BE AWARE www.1stlinefinancial.com Is in NO WAY AFFILIATED with this company. We don't know who they are, where they are from, nor have we EVER done business with them. I requested a telephone number from one of the people i contacted from my emails and they provided me with 866-917-9716 - JAMES ext 722 ... When i spoke to him and informed him that i am the owner of 1st line financial , he raised his voice and put me on hold for over 40 minutes... i hung up and dialed back and spoke with customer service, after he found out who i am he started to raise his voice, he stated that we were the Scam company and we scammed the customers. I asked for names in the company and address and other telephone numbers, none was provided and they hung up. I have this conversation recorded as proof.

My suggestion, do your research before you send any money and know the laws.
Sorry you had to lose your money
