I applied for a loan on-line same as most everyone who dealt with this company. The website is in the title/description, then, I get a call from a Miss Jane Larsen, claiming I was approved for a $10,000 loan but had to send 5 months of payments to their company: Stanford financial group. She laid out their background for myself and my wife. They had supposedly been in business for 14 years and had a bbb report. I told her about another scam that does this very thing. She could not believe what happened, acting as we found out but, she assured us she was not a theif and she was a 'god fearing' woman and could not believe 'how those people sleep at night.'

She sent us the contract by fax and we looked over it; it seemed legit. She said we could take it to a lawyer. I could not afford that and I thought I could tell if it was not legit. I also, did research on this company, finding a corporation firm that deals in investments but, not loan brokerage. I tried to find their address but, could not find anything. I checked the bbb for South Carolina. Their file had just been opened the same week I was contacted! 11/11/2008.

I hageled with her asking her questions such as where to find their background or track record if they were in business for 14 years. She got frustrated with me and even tried reverse psychology; that got us. She said maybe we should not get this loan if we have such doubts and if it would be a hardship. I asked her about section VIII in the contract. It took her by surprise but, she came back and said it was only for those that apply with fraudulent information and to protect her company against such practice.

Well, my wife and I were and are still in financial strife, needing that money and Miss Larsen assured us the loan was guaranteed. We talked it over and decided to go for it. We sent the money, $1490, because of a credit for the wiring fee to help us out.

There was all kinds of things that raised alert flags and We pressed on. I can share that later. But to make a long story short, I got the money sent and of course come Monday we did not see that money by 5:00 as promised.
While I went to work my wife called them after five and was told to get in contact with a Mr. Dennis Weaver, hmm, and she did so. He told her that there were of course complication.

I feel for you and your wife, the same thing happened to my fiancee and I. I hate to tell you this, but you won't see your money. They are horrible horrible people! I was supposed to receive my refund on December 10, 2009, and of course it was not there, and the same thing happened when I tried to call them. I was devasted! I still am, mad at myself, and still in need of the money I was promised. Please let me know if you find anything out. My fiancee emailed me yesterday and said that the website www.standfordfinancial.com has a lawsuit against the www.stanfordfinancial.net. A federal case was filed against them in California on 11/26/08, and it passed thru a judge on 12/02/08 to go to trial. Kinda of hard though when they have vanished!

I appologize for this getting chopped up. I am trying to continue where I left off. It is pretty much self-explanatory, at least to those of us who have dealt with these people. We didn't see the money and we are currently waiting for our refund that is supposed to be sent out on the 15th of December.
On a hunch I tried to call the number 1-877-271-6911 and it didn't even ring it just said good-bye. I found another number on someone else's report on this site and used it on mine. I would try to track it if possible.
I also, wanted to say I had checked this company on this site but, there were no reports for them until after we had sent our money. Now we don't know if we will see our money but, we are going to pursue this matter. We are going to the authorities, such as, the ftc and Attorney general. Also, if anyone hasn't yet, or would know how to get in touch with the Canadian Authorities.
When I was speaking to Jane Larsen, noticed just the slightest hint of an accent but, it was not southern; more like northern. And that is not to step on anyones toes but, for clues as to where to track these sob's.

Will keep up-to-date
