Attention: Beware of these people

After talking to several people, and doing my own research, I was informed about private lenders whom loan money to people for profits, that they felt who had a good business plan, and seem to be very profitable on paper.

Therefore I begin searching on the internet, and came across this website called GO Big Network. This website is for people trying to start their own business, or investors looking to invest in their company, and private lenders. So of course I registered on this particular website, and gave some information about the type of business I was trying to start-up, and my contact information.

August 2007, I received an email from Ben Johnson (President of Broadway Investment & Capitol) of California. This email said to give him a call, that he thought he could help me. Nevertheless, I did after receiving a couple of emails, and calls from his company directly. Ben Johnson and I spoke on several different occasions on the phone, through email messages about his company, and what his company could offer me. Afterwards, he requested that I email him my business plan, and I replied. Later we discuss my business plan in great lengths over a couple of days repeatedly. Simultaneously, I did my own research on him, and his company, and found him to be registered with the state of California, as well with the National Better Business Bureau. I did not find anything negative on him or his company.

Next I agreed to allow him to help me find a private lender to loan me 2 million dollars, someone to provide me the collateral for this loan, for a one time fee of $5,000, 2% monthly fee of my loan amount, and a 5% service fee for my loan to be paid directly to the private lender.

A couple weeks later I was informed that he had found someone to provide me with the collateral for my loan. He requested a conference call meeting with the party that would provide me with the collateral. Ben Johnson instructed me that they would want to possible go over my business plan with them as well. At this meeting I was introduce to a male by the name of John Campbell of Diversified Financial, and from California as well. Shortly after this meeting, I was informed by John Campbell that he and his partner Dr. Rhondalyn Singh Tanwar would provide me with the collateral , and all I needed to do is to provide them a copy of my bank statement reflecting that I could pay the private lender the 5% service fee of 2 million dollars.

Needless to say I complied with is as well, by faxing a copy of my bank statement to Ben Johnson directly, but blacking out my account number. Couple of days later I was contacted by Ben Johnson, and John Campbell, to requested that we have another conference call, but this time with a private lender.

September 2007, I was introducing to Fred Campbell of USASSET & FUNDING CORPORATION by John Campbell. I was told that he had worked with Fred Campbell on other projects, and they were not related due to the same last name. John Campbell informed me that Fred Campbell would also want to go over my business plan and that I needed to write an executive summary to email it to Ben Johnson. I was instructed on what to say at this meeting with Fred Campbell by John and Ben. John Campbell and Ben Johnson informed me that they were on my side and they would advise me through this whole deal due to the fact that I had informed them that I had no prior experience in this type of transaction.

They both agreed they would advise me, and that they would not make any money if I did not get the loan to fund my project. The meeting took place, and it was explained to me by all parties that after all documents were draw up and agreed upon that I would deposit a $100,000 to an escrow account, my collateral would be provided, and the 2 million dollars would also be place there as well. Next the escrow company would disburse all the fees to all parties and the remaining monies to me directly.

October 2007, a series of paperwork was drawn up for me to sign, and all were copied to John and Ben simultaneously by Fred Campbell. Then it was brought to my attention by Fred Campbell, that we needed a lawyer to draw up the final documents to move to the next stage, and this would cost me $10,000 in addition to the 5% service fee.

I immediately talked to Ben about this, explaining to him that I was told no up front money except at closing when I provide the service fee of a $100,000. Ben said he was not aware of this fee also, but would get back to me, and wait for further instructions. Later Ben Johnson informed me that sometimes the private lender will request to have an outside party brought in to make sure everybody is doing everything legally. Ben told me to go ahead and send the money and this would benefit me as well.

So of course I did. However that turns out to be not true at all. I tried on several of occasions to contact the attorney directly through this whole ordeal to make sure I understood everything, but he would never return my calls, he would just forward my email messages to Fred Campbell directly, and then Fred Campbell would respond to them.

About the end of October things started to change. The terms of the contract begin to change. Fred Campbell begins to be very persistent for me to wire him my $100,000. More specifically, I was informed by Fred Campbell that my money would go to John Campbell & Dr. Rhondaly Singh Tanwar due to that they would be providing me with my collateral, and that I needed to get an agreement with them as to when and how I would receive my money. Neither John nor Ben informed me of this directly. After talking to Ben and John about this change, I agreed that this was not so unreasonable, and they were just trying to make sure that they got paid too. Of course, a promissory note was draw up, and signed by Dr.Rhondalyn Singh Tanwar, and it stated I would receive my money in monthly installments over the next 6 months beginning in November, and this would begin within 24 hours of closing the escrow.

November 2007, I wire $100,000 to Austin Escrow as directed by the escrow company. I was instructed that the escrow would verify to all parties that they had received my funds, and this would allow us to move to the next stage of this transaction. Then another strange thing happens after waiting a couple of days for the escrow to close. I was contacted by Fred Campbell that there was a problem with the original signed contract, and another one had to be drawn up in order for the closing of the escrow to take place. Fred Campbell emailed me another contract that reflected a change of how much interest rate was to be paid on this loan, and when it had to be paid.

I did not understand it, so I called him, and he stated Dr. Rhondalyn Singh Tanwar had requested the change. I forwarded the new contract to Ben Johnson, and was advise to sign and return back to Fred Campbell. I did this as well.

The next day the escrow company Kim Austin specifically closed the escrow, and sent me confirmation that everything was in order. I waited a week, and contacted Ben & John as to when will I receive my first installment. I was told by them both that they had not received the money from Fred Campbell. I explain to them how is that to be, since I had received a confirmation from Austin Escrow Company that the glynn escrow had closed about a week ago. They both said yes, but they still were waiting as well.

So I received a confirmation from Escrow Attorney John P. Savage of Milwaukee, WI that he was holding 2 million dollars on my behalf, and that pertaining to my request that the funds be release to Dr. Rhondalyn Singh Tanwar. This confirmation came with an attached bank statement.

I immediately called Fred Campbell to find out who was this attorney, and how did he get my money. I was informed by Fred Campbell, that infact the escrow had closed my escrow, but they were waiting for Dr.Rhondalyn Singh Tanwar to provide the collateral first before he would release the money. I asked him that how they could close the escrow without receiving the collateral first and his response was that they were awaiting for my party. I then contacted Ben and was told that they were working on it, and I should have my installment by the end of the week.

December 2007, a couple weeks has went by, and me constantly calling, and asking what is the problem, and when can I expect to receive my money. Finally I was contacted by Ben & John, stating that they were not going to do business with Fred Campbell due to that change in the contract that Fred Campbell stated to me that was at the request of Dr. Rhondaly Singh Tanwar, and some other differences. They both advise me that they were requested all of their clients to cancel their contract with Fred Campbell, and they were going to privately fund everyones project themselves.

I reminded them that I had already wired Fred Campbell an $110,000, and you know he was going to say that he had honored his part of the agreement. I was informed by Ben & John that I needed to immediately cancel my agreement and request a refund of my service fee, and attorney fee, since technically the deal had not been finalize. I stated once again the money I had already wired, that I could not afford to just lose like that or spend just for some worthless paperwork.

Presently I have requested on several occasions that I want my $110,000 back from Fred Campbell, and that John & Ben either provide me the loan or refund my money I sent to Fred Campbell. Fred Campbell has consisted stated that he has done his part, but have refuse to refund my money. Ben & John has persisted that they are going to fund my loan. But still have not.

It is my belief that they are all in this scam together. Also that Ben & John insisted that I cancel my contract with Fred Campbell in an attempt to excuse them from having to refund my $110,000. I have yet to speak to Dr.Rondalyn Tanwar directly about any of this since; I agreed to let her and John Campbell provide my collateral.

Since then Ben and John has promise that they would fund my project directly without anymore up front fees, but as of yet I have not heard a word or have receive any money at all. I have contacted them on several occasions, their response since before Christmas has been you will be getting your funding in a couple of days.

When contacting Fred Campbell his response is that he done his part and that is took my $110,000 in exchange for a piece of worthless paper that he emails to me. I told him that I gave him the money in exchange for $2 million dollars plus fees, and he has my money, but all I got was a paper saying what I was suppose to get by email.

I know that there are others out there, and they need to be stopped immediately. They have no consious about what they are doing to people. I trusted them with my family life savings of $110,000, and may lose my home due to their scam.


Sincerely,
Georgia woman

Toney,

First I would like to say don't count your chickens until they have hatch. These people will say and do anything to get you to back down. They told me to take my comments off this site and they would fund my deal, and that was in 2007. I told them to fund my deal and I would let everyone know that they came through.

These people are crooks and scammers. They scam me out of $110,000, and all I got is worthless papers. They play this game very well and will continue to do so until the FBI finally do there jobs once and for all!!!! They are not to be trusted in ANYWAY!!!!! They are being investigated by types of law enforcements national, and they will get theirs.

Rip off report does not provide personal contact information on their site, therefore you will have to get an attorney or law enforcement agencies to contact the site to give or get this information. My advice is to contact your local FBI and keep on them to take action against these CROOKS!!! ALSO BEN IS NOT IN ATLANTA AT ALL BUT IN CALIFORNIA!!!

Rhondalyn Tanwar,


I spoke to you directly about my deal that you would provide me collerateral to ensure that in return you as in your company U.S. Financial Agency would receive 2 million dollars on my behalf. Then your co-worker John Campbell instructed me that your company no longer wanted to do business with Fred Campbell, only after I had been instructed to wire a $110,000 to Fred Campbell. I tried repeatedly to contact you but you seem to disappear. I was brought to Fred Campbell (U.S.Asset Funding) by your assoicates John Campbell and Ben Johnson and so was many others as well under your leadership. I have documents that you either signed yourself or someone that you knew signed for you such as Ben Johnson or John Campbell an agreement that you would furnish my needed colleratal for my deal. Also in that deal it stated a specific amount you were to give to Fred Campbell directly.

Months later you act as though you don't know anything or had no knowledge of any deals with Fred Campbell, either you are in need of major brain surgery or you have some big lieing smart snakes in your office. They gave all your information to perfect strangers in attempt to scam people out of thousands, and for me it worked. You have my promise that I will not rest until you all are brought to justice.

I too was a victim of these people. They continue to scam people over and over again. There response to everything is that the money will be here tommorrow, then next week, and so on. They told me December, 2007 they were going to fund my project, and I have not receive my money as of yet. They tried to convince me to remove my message here on rip off report, and they would fund my project, but I refuse. I know it was just another scam so that they could get more money from other people. I have found that they have continue to scam people, thru Better Business Bureau, since they told me they were going to fund me in Dec 2007.


We need to get together and take them down. I am glad that you have seen the light of these people, and is no longer with a frauding company.

#4 UPDATE EX-employee responds

Ben Johnson, John Campbell, & Rhondalyn Singh Tanwar are theives!

AUTHOR: Broker/employee - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, May 29, 2008

After being told that "it will fund this week" for three months, I had a client request his funds from US Financial two weeks ago. Today he still didn't have his funds. He called the bank agent at WAMU and she told him that US Financial no longer has a banking relationship with WAMU. It appears that Rhondalyn Singh Tanwar has pulled the funds from the fake escrow account. As always, no one can get Ben Johnson of Broadway Capital, John Campbell of Diversified Financial, or Rhondalyn Tanwar of US Financial on the phone. These companies all point blame at each other. It seems like Ben Johnson doesn't knwo what he is doing and have no informtaion at all, John Campbell keeps promising that it is going to fund but it never does and when you ask him for a funding date he gets mad and tells you if you ask again he will put the funding date back several more days. It looks like Rhondalyn is running off with everyone's money. I had a rep from broadway call me and tell me that he was leaving the company because he felt that they we dishonest and taking people's money. Who knows how many people have placed their funds into her fake escrow account that she closed yesterday.
This company has already ruined my reputation and killed my lending career. I would like to get in touch with anyone who either has a deal with them now or has been scammed by this company in the past. We need to get all of the clients together so that we can decide how to pursue legal action. Please contact me by e-mail.

(((ROR REDACTED)))

All three companies are to blame. Don't let them tell you that it is one or the other. They all know each other and have taken millions in fees. We need to do something to stop them and get the money that we sent back to us.

USAsset & Funding is not affiliated with Dr. Rhondalyn Singh Tanwar, Ben Johnson or John Campbell. Georgia Woman was introduced to USAsset & Funding by these individuals. John Campbell is not related to Fred Campbell of USAsset & Funding.

USAsset & Funding provided the exact service that was agreed upon in writing. The escrow closed exactly as provided in the escrow documents signed in advance by Georgia Woman.

USAsset & Funding has urged this woman to take all of her documentation to an attorney to get legal advice regarding her proposed transaction. We look forward to addressing any issues raised by her attorney, and if they think we have done something wrong we will resolve it with her attorney. We are confident that we performed as agreed in writing and exactly according to documents executed by Georgia Woman.

Update on Private lending Scam with Fred Campbell, Ben Johnson, Dr. Rhondalyn Tanwar,and John Campbell

AUTHOR: Mad georgia woman - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, April 24, 2008

Update:

I have spoken to Ben Johnson and John Campbell a couple of times after they found out about my comments on the rip-off report website. I was instructed by Ben Johnson and John Campbell to remove my comments from the rip-off report website, but I have repeatedly refuse them. About 3 weeks ago they had someone from their office to call me and say they would send my first installment, and would send the rest after I remove my comments off the rip-off report website. I agree that I would if they kept their end of the deal. Needless to say I have not gotten any money from them nor have I heard a word from them either.

I have not spoken to Fred Campbell at all, and he has refuse to refund any of my money back.

I believe they had no intent of funding my project nor refunding my money. It is my belief that this was an attempt to get me to remove my comments off the rip-off report website, so that Ben Johnson, Fred Campbell, John Campbell, and Dr.Rhondalyn Tanwar would continue to scam others like me. "Don't send any money, it is just a SCAM!!!!!"
