I have been looking for a loan, cause nobody would give me a loan for my little credit. but i guess in my search i came apon United American Financial, and aplied, and i got a cal from Wayne Marshall saying i was aproved for 30,000.00 at 8% for 15 years at 286.70 a month, it was some kind of Government offer.... i just had to print out my contract, sign and send a copy of my Drivers licence, and paystub and two contacts.
Then i read the contract,(which looked half real, the other half i think i could have done better) about a 1250.00 insurance deposit was asked
(for the Pacific Insurance Company, cant find anything about this company with the same name),
it was in case i went into default. and that sounded right. i didnt see any reports online with this company name at the time. but i really needed the help. but i didnt have 1250.00 so Wayne Marshall (my rep) said they can take half of the 1250.00 at 625.00 and send it Western Union to a Jason Stevenson in Redbeer, Alberta. And they would send half of my 30,000.00 loan at 15,000.00 drect into my bank account.
when the money didnt show up i called and called Wayne and he wasnt there, and then i saw on the day i sent the money there was a report on this website. THE DAY I SENT THE MONEY THAT SHOWED UP!!! 4/4/08. So i freaked out and called some more, i emailed all three email address given at the website
sales@unitedamericanfinancial.com
info@unitedamericanfinancial.com
customerservice@unitedamericanfinancial.com
There is a BBB icon and i did click on it they list a different number
800 867-8278
that all ciruits are always busy
then i played around the phone system they have and found they have a sales (press 8), i started talking to someone and he was able to get me to Wayne, and then he told me the Insurance company said they need 250.00 cause of my credit, and then Wayne said that was his fault he didnt catch that, so he knocked it down to 200.00, so i was still a little freaked out, and talked to him about the report, and i asked why he was on east coast time but your address on the website is in CA, and why i sent the money to Canada? he said the home office is in CA, and he was like a broker that is in NY and i sent the money to the Insurance Company (Pacific Insurance Company).
So i did a search on all the names i have on the contract and phone number listing when you call
Sales (ext 1)
Tanya Stevens (ext 2)
Wayne Marshall (ext 3)
Allen Readget(not sure if i spelled that right)(ext 4)
Susan Phillips (ext 5)
(6 is a automated message taker i guess)
no 7
8 is a dail by name thing
0 is the oporaitor who is never there
William Robers (President)
Elliot Jeffries (Chairman & CEO)
Katherine Ataturk (Supervisor)
Karen Kamilly (Head Accountant of Financial Dept)
and i found this other report; Report: #256747 Consumer Loan Service - American Loan Company
Category: Canadian Cross-Border Scams to Americans
Consumer Loan Service - American Loan Company SCAMMED won't return calls had to buy 'insurance' I lost $2,150. They are NOT in CA they are in Canada Vancouver British Columbia,
and as i read this i was very close to whats going on with me. i am still in somewhat contact with Wayne and i have to Friday 4/11/08 to send my 200.00 or ask for my 625.00 back, which i get in 6-7 working days, so they say.
so i am worried because i really need they help and this looks like the only people who say they want to help but everything i read and so on say its a scam, and i dont think i will get my money back, and i now im deeper in the hole because of this.

You can bet that these names are NOT their real names. Think about it ...if you were scamming people, would you use your real name ???? Of course not. And, most likely, there are several people using the same fake names. It is very, very doubtful that any of these scammers will ever be apprehended. They are here today and gone tomorrow - with a different name. ANY money sent to them is gone forever.

I have also found the names of ELLIOT JEFFERIES, CHAIRMAN AND CEO and the name of WILLIAM ROBERTS - PRESIDENT on my paperwork as well. As I said, my papers were from your american financial. It looks like they are playing with the title some - as many people have heard of AMERICAN FINANCIAL - and, the $1290 I needed to send was for insurance as well. Just in case I defaulted on the loan. Then, when I couldn't come up with that amount, they accepted the $475. along with a hand-written promissory note from me that I would pay the additional monies, once I had received my funds. What they may also be doing is allowing people to get the funds, in some cases, then sending them back some of the money, and the check we would have received would have been bogus. Either way, they must think they are pretty slick. I am compiling everything I have, as well as any other info I can get on these companies; and will try to forward it to the FBI - am thinking they may try to do something; not sure. But, since the funds go to Canada, the FBI would just about be the only person that could help. Or the Dept. of Justice.
I will try whatever I can to get this (these) places shut-down.

WOW - this is the same company, I think, as your american financial
AUTHOR: Lisa E. - (U.S.A.)

In your list of names, you listed a KAREN KAMILLY - Head Accountant of Financial Dept. This is the same person that is listed in my paperwork from your american financial, in the same position. I also have the name of KATHLINE ALOTUIK, as the Senior Credit Manager - which is a very similiar name to the Kathleen that you listed as well.
The guy I was dealing with, Mike Price, told me that my $475 would be returned within 15 business days. That was 27 days ago - no refund.
Unfortunately, I don't think you will receive your money back. Seems like they have created a very extensive network to scam anyone and everyone they can.
They seem to prey on people with little or no other options.
I am sorry that you were taken for as much money as you were.

Of course they "act" like they will help you
AUTHOR: Faron - (U.S.A.)

They will not. They have already "suckered" you out of $625 and will want more and you will NEVER receive one dime. It is illegal in the United States to do what they are doing because this is called an advance fee loan and they are not allowed here. This is why you are dealing with someone from Canada and sending money to Canada. This hole has dried up and you may as well plug it and move on. You also will not see your $625. You can google RCMP Royal Canadian Mounted Police and file a scam report.
