I recieved a call on July 12 2006 in regards to a personal secured loan. The lady that called was Margaret James. She told me I was approved for a 5000 dollar loan, which I applied for on credit.com. She asked me if that was the total amount of debt, I said no it is more like 10000, she then said well we can change it to that amount. She said I will fax over all the paper work to you so you can sign it. I signed and faxed it back. SHe then told me I had to western union 900 us dollars to a michael graham out of toronta ontario canada. I sent the money and she said the funds would be in my account on July 15 by 5pm.
Well on Friday the funds were not there, so I called and all day they told me Margaret was in meetings, finally I spoke with kimberly shetfield.she proceeded to tell me in the contract it states the deposit my change(no it does not) she told me I had to send 900 more dollars and I said no way. I told her I wanted a refund and still I am waiting. I went to the FBI agent on July 14, but of course nothing has come of it. I ahve lost alot due to this incident. Anyone have any ideas????

These guys contacted me back in June of this year. I was excited to finally get a possible loan. I was really finacially strapped, but I wanted the loan to try and do a few improvments. I got the paperwork and faxed it back over. I had just loaned a friend $1000 because she moved into a new house and needed a few thigns for her house. I told MCoy i would have the $978 the next week.
I got really busy at work and din't have time to send it. They kept hounding me. I changed jobs to a new job where I only get paid once a month. Now mind you, I said i didn't really need this loan. I'm a well paid IT sales person. I had planned on paying the loan back in about a 5 month period.
Last night I decided to try and call then back to get eh process started again, and what do you know,THE NUMBER IS disconnected! So I decided to do a search for this company. Thats when I came across all these comments. THANKS FOR POSTING THESE. I would not have known.
ALL I want to say is this God help McCoy and that other guy because when you are caught, its gonnabe realll ugly!

This is Kimberly, for Tyson in Greensboro here are some of the steps a few of us have done so far. There are plenty of us being preyed on with this company, and probably even more. The first thing we did was filed a fraud report with Western Union. If the money has not been picked up yet, you have the right to take it back. But these people are crooks so with the money that i sent to Canada, was picked up at 8:00 that night. From the research some of us have gained, this is no bum operation, they are pretty good at it. After we filed a fraud report with Western Union, I filed a police report in Canada on the person who picked the money up.
In short, you sent you're money to a Michael Graham so file it on that person. There is very limited information that Western Union can give us for privacy purposes, but they can tell you who filled out the yellow form to get the money and who signed for it. Because tat yellow form they signed has their personal info, they cannot tell you any details. Once that report is filed with Western union, it will be available to Police authorities or an attorney.
Call the Canadian Police and files a theft over $500.00 police report which is a punishable crime on the person who pcked the money up. Make sure to include with your Western Union report that the fraud is Pinnacle Financial.
After you have done that, file a police report with you're local police, but in that report, file it against Pinnacle Financial and the person affiliated with them such as Margaret James.
It would also be the perfect idea to contact the New York State Attorney General's office and speak to any of the attorneys. I used to work at te Tennessee Attorney General's office, so I am aware that any of the attorneys in the building will help or they will make sure that you get to somebody.
Today, I actually contacted credit.com customer service and expressed our extreme problems with this company. The email is cs@credit.com and on the web site it also has a customer service number to speak with them directly.
To file a fraud report with Western Union, Canadian Police, local police, and the attorney general of New York, when they try to get money through that method will alert all of the police departments you filed with that they are at it again. So that stops them that way because to even get the money from Western union they have to show the proper ID. So they are on the lookout there as it is.
Also, by contacting credit.com they could quite possibly take them off of their contact list which leaves Pinnale Financial with no leads to prey on.
Like some of us have been doing, if we do all of this as a team, someone will start noticing a pattern that will stop Pinnacle in their tracks. They really need to know we are gaining on them and feel the heat of stealing from innocent people will not go without consequences.
For the number to the Canadian police, contact Western union with the phone # that is on the back of your copy of the reciept. Ask for the fraud department and they may also have the # for the New York attorney general's office. Here is my email address if anyone who has fell victim to this wants to keep going at this together.
