My husband applied for a personal loan on the internet and in return a woman named "Victoria Goodwin" called him to tell him he was approved for a 25,000.00 loan. After about a week of us not returning her phone calls, due to the fact that my husband owns his own business and is exceptionally busy 7 days a week, another woman named "Pam Kendall" contacted him in regaurds to the same loan.

"Pam Kendall" said that we needed to fax her 2 pay stubs, drivers lic. and social security card. She said to call her when we had these things faxed and she would return our phone call. She also informed me that when I called, the message would say "This is the desk of Victoria Goodwin" but that she had taken her place and had not had time to change the message yet. Once we faxed her and called her, she did call back.

It was then that she told me that due to us not having a co-signer they would need 10% sent to them for a security insurance payment to secure the loan incase anything would happen but that in one year we could get that back. To make a long story short, yes we had to wire the money in 3 different Western Unions - all to Windsor, Ontario Canada. I have called these people numerous times, no return calls from them.

I did go one step ahead of them though! I contacted the Washington Chamber of Commerce who due to the circumstances put me in touch with their Attorney Gerneral. I did call them one more time after this and let them know that I did some background checking on them, I know a little too late, but that I am aware that they are NOT licensed for buisness in Washington, with the Federal Trade Commision or with Seattle and that their mailing address belongs to some Art Institute in Seattle.

"Victoria Goodwin" AKA "Pam Kendall" sound like the same person as well as "Gloria Freeman" which is one of the "private lenders" that Pam told me I was talking to on the phone. So, here we are...a good friend of ours hocked thier 2002 Chrysler 300 for the 2500.00 we needed to try to help us. My mother-in-law lives with us, 75 yrs. of age in bad health plus we have 2 young children. I hope someone reads this and hangs these people and any info I can give to help - I am MORE THAN WILLING TO DO...as I still have every piece of paperwork.

False company name

AUTHOR: Bruce - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, February 15, 2007

This is a well known fraud group out of Canada who uses this name and others for scams - it should not be confused with the real company of a similar name who does not give loans, does not request loan fees, does not accept wires to individuals and is not based in Canada.

In general, do not send any money to advance loan fee persons and check with the actual company in the USA to determine if the people you are speaking with even work for the company.
