Windchester Financial Group Told me I was approved for a loan just to get my money ripoff Stoneham Massachusetts

I was told I was approved for a $5000 loan. A advanced fee was required by money transfer before the funds were disbursed. I paid $550 plus transfer fee for insurance on the loan. Was told by Anthony Smith (loan representative) the funds would be in my account 6-8 hours after he confirmed the money had been sent. Supposedly the loan was from a third party lender, Amanda Wilkes from the Launchpad Venture Group (www.launchpadventuregroup.com).

Money was not in my account, called back Anthony Smith said there was a mishap and the funds were being held by the back. He said there was a misprint on the loan contract and the insurance payment was $750 not $550. I was told I could wire the other $200 and he would release the funds to my account in 5-10 minutes after he has confirmed I sent the money transfer or I could get my $550 plus transfer fee back.

I chose the refund of my money. He said the money would be in my account in 1-2 hours and to call him back and let him know I had recieved my money back and had access to the funds. He said he would be in the office all day. The money wasn't there of course. I called numerous times and he didn't answer and I left numerous messages and he has never called back.

This scam is connected with another scam on this site. In my paperwork, it has Mark Marciano as the owner and co-founder of this Windchester Financial Group Inc. And David O. Brenni is named as the Senior Operating Manager. These names appear in a complaint on a business called Financial Resources Unlimited and it is the exact same thing that happened to me. Also, there is a company called Winchester (without a d) Financial Group Inc at the same exact address as the company that scammed me it just added a d behind the n.

I want nothing more than to see justice down and these guys stopped from scamming more people.
