WAKEFIELD COMMERCIAL FINANCIAL Scammed me out of much needed money. Another name to add to the scam list is CASANDRA SMITH of TORONTO CANADA Internet, New York

I was in need of a loan to pay down a debt. I applied online through the LENDING CENTRE and received an acceptance email from NICOLE ST CLAIR at WAKEFIELD COMMERCIAL FINANCIAL telling me i had been approved for the loan. This came as a great relief. I contacted Nicole and was told that i would have to send the first 3 months of payments to the 3rd party lender and the loan would be deposited within 6 hours. I sent the payment to CASANDRA SMITH OF TORONTO CANADA on Friday afternoon to this person and the money was to be deposited in my account the next morning. Of course it was not deposited. As i wrote this I can see all the red flags telling me this was not a good idea. But when a person feels desperate they do not see the flags. These people need to be stopped.
