I found Preston Financial Group on line. When I called, Ben Avery, the so called senior loan consultant said he would be able to help me get a loan and increase my credit scores.

Later, he called to say that he found some one that would finance me, but they wanted a collateral payment; six months worth @ $910.00 to be sent by moneygram to an Alicia Fields in Cranbrook, AB in Canada.

After that amount was stupidly sent by me ( also after the contract was sent to me to allay my fears, because I said to him that this better not be a sacm and he laughed), someone else called me to say that they spoke with some lawyers of their insurance company, and they want me to send another $910.00.

I told him that was ridiculous and I was not sending anything else. I told him that I wanted my money back. They said my money would be in my account June 24, 2008. Of course that did not happen. In the mean time I harrassed them and called the Better Business Bureau in South Carolina for them to do an investigation. They sent me an email saying the place did not exsist.

After the BBB got involved, their phone number does not work and the website does not exist. I hope that they sleep good knowing they ripped off a hard working single mother of two.
