On April 12, 2006 I applied to a newspaper ad titled "NO CREDIT-BAD CREDIT" and call the toll-free telephone number (800-367-0063). A woman answered the telephone and I gave her my personal information, to apply for a loan. On April 19, 2006 I received a message from a man (I use that term loosely) named "Ray Peters" stating I was "approved" for a loan and he would like for me to return his call (416-848-9691) to discuss the terms of the loan. I returned his call later in the afternoon and "Ray Peters" told me I was approved for a loan of U.S. $6,000. "Ray Peters" said for me to receive the loan, I would need to send "Jason Smith in Toronto, Canada" a "security deposit" of U.S. $820 because of my credit, which was to be refunded after three months (to include the Western Union fees) if I did not experience any difficulty making the loan payments. I was excited over the fact of being approved for a loan, and was not thinking rationally (why would I need to send a security deposit for a personal loan?). Anyways, I agreed with the terms "Ray Peters" offered me and he said he was going to fax me the loan papers that explained the loan further. Also, he explained to me wanted me fax him pages 4 and 5 (a page for me to enclose my bank information for the direct deposit of my loan and a signature page)along with the receipt from Western Union. After doing so, I was to have U.S. $6,000 deposited into my checking account within 48 hours. On April 22, 2006 I did not receive my loan and I called "Ray Peters" to ask if there was a problem. He told me that he needed me to send U.S. $700 because of my credit. I told him I would not send him any more money, because we previously agreed to the terms on April 19. He asked me if I wanted a refund, which I told him I did. He told me afterwards that I should receive a refund check in the mail within a week to include the Western Union fees (total of U.S. $922.99). A week passed I did not receive the check. On May 2, 2006 I contacted "Ray Peters" due to not receiving my refund check and I was told I should receive by the end of the week. I did not believe him and ask if there was a way he could verify it and he told me his computer says I will receive the check on Friday (May 5, 2006). Another week passed and I have not received the refund check. I contacted "Ray Peters" on May 8, 2006 and ask about the status of my refund check. I was told I needed to wait and I will receive the refund check by the end of the week. Since the phone call on May 8, 2006, I have not received a refund check from "Global Financial". The two contact numbers have since been disconnected, but I believe "Ray Peters" and his female accomplist can get caught in the act. I have notified Project Phonebusters and the local authorities. I wish I could go up to Toronto and let "Ray Peters" and "Global Financial" know the made the wrong person angry, but I've discovered they use fake names and stolen cell phones. I just wish I was thinking more rationally that day, and not send $820 that was suppossed to go towards bills, and cause me to be in the bind I'm in now. I hope somebody read this before being scammed like myself and other already have.

I work for the US Gov and have started an investigation with the tools that are at my disposal

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

POSTED: Thursday, June 15, 2006

My mom was recently ripped off by the same people. Here's the info: alstonanddeanpremierfinancial.com / western union to Jason Smith. Rode my mom for $1750.

I work for the US Gov and have started an investigation with the tools that are at my disposal. I have various information, emails, IP Addresses, phone numbers and locations. I have submitted various reports to the FBI, IC3 along with certain fraud companies in Ontario Canada.

I'm hoping they catch these two... I could tell this was a scam right when I saw it... had to school my Mom on internet rules...

Thank God, She Didn't Send Any Money

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

POSTED: Thursday, June 08, 2006

Now that I am twenty-two I have finally learned to trust my instincts. Never has that come in more handy than at this very moment. My mother and I have fallen on hard times, so it was at my suggestion that we apply for a "Bad Credit/No Credit Loan that I located in the Washington City Paper.

About four days after applying for the loan, we received a call from a Hispanic woman who told my mother that she had been approved for a $10,000 loan, but first needed to send in a $975.00 security deposit. That sounded weird to us...if we had almost a grand why would we need a personal loan? So we declined.

After another week of not knowing where the money to pay tuition is going to come from, my mother reapplied for the loan. This time "Sarah Thompson" told us that the security deposit went up to $1200. Why had it gone up in just a weeks time? "Well, the other girl calculated something wrong."

My mother talked them down to $750.00...that was a big red flag. It seemed they were eager just to take any money. The second big red flag was when "Ms. Thompson" refused to give a straight answer about the exact address of this "establishment" or why we would be sending money to "Brent Kimber" rather than Global Financial. Again we declined.

At this point, I was convinced that this was nothing more than one of those scams we talked about in my Criminology class. My mother wasn't as convinced, and went back a third time...this time talking to a "Rachel Green" with stricking similarities vocally to "Sarah Thompson." Mom explained to "Rachel" that the Western Union documents caution anyone from sending money away in hopes of gaining a personal loan. She asked for e-mail verification that Global Financial is a legit coroporation. "Rachel" said that she couldn't e-mail them...what type of financial institution doesn't have e-mail? She faxed some loan documents.

That was the final nail in their coffin with me. As a student, I know what loan promissory notes look like...Lord knows the government has had me sign enough of them. These "documents" were nothing more than business letters typed up on Microsoft Word....I've seem more convincing rubber stamps. Pages 4-5 needed to be faxed back, and each page was signed by a different person. "Ray Peters" and GF president "Jack Hilton," for example. Using famous last names like Hilton and Rockefeller...classic con artist move.

My mother still believed in their innocence and was ready to send them our rent money today...until I Googled the 1141 Bay Street address that they finally gave us and came up with the rip-off report. GOD works in wonderful ways!!

Everyone please follow you instincts on things like this...I am glad that I did. If anyone is having a difficult time getting in touch with these people they are currently at (416)837-9665. I have a good mind to call the FBI and let them know what they've got on their hands.

Advance fee loan scam

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

POSTED: Wednesday, May 31, 2006

Brooks,

You have fallen for an advance fee loan scam. In all certainty your money is simply gone. If you receive a refund check at all, it will likely be fake and if you deposit and spend it your bank will take the money back as soon as they are notified the check is fake.

No lender will require a "security deposit" for a cash loan. It is simply not done. Advance fee loan scams, in which the "deposit" is sent Western Union to Canada are rampant. Western Union will not take responsibility because they did what you asked - transferred funds to a specific person at your request.

Red flags should have gone up when you were sending the money to an individual instead of a lending institution.

The telephone call you made as well as the money you sent went to Canada. This is the base of many of these operations. The typical set up is for these con artists to rent a motel room, run a newspaper ad with the telephone number, solicit customers for a week or two. They collect several thousand dollars for a week or two then move on to another area to avoid detection. The names are likely fake, and the I.D. presented at the Western Union office is probably fake as well.

Global Financial is a Pay Day loan Company who goes by other names as well

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

POSTED: Tuesday, May 30, 2006

Well they certainly took you for a ride but this company offers pay day loans and goes by several different names one being Cashnet 500 online. I would turn them into the Utah Department of Finance because from my experience if it is the same Global Finance that is the state that they are licensed in. I would certainly turn them into your state attorney general and try Utah and any other possibilities that you can come up with. I received a letter that the state of Utah had sent them regarding my case and I feel sure that they can probably help you as well.. These places are scammers and operate under various names and make various types of loans. Please read the ripoff report and you will find various stories regarding this company. Good Luck
