Harriston Services How can this be legal? New Bedford Massachusetts

I am writing to confirm the allegations of the illegal activities of Harriston Services of New Boston, MA.  I fell victim to this scam as well.  This fradualent company is the most deceptive I have encountered.  They appear on all fronts to be completely legitimate and professional until the very second they get you suckered in.  My experience with Harriston Services is very similiar to this report.  A "loan officer" from this company by the name of Ben Somers processed my loan.  He had stated that the loan request was fully approved however a collateral payment, which would be posted to my account for the first 7 months of payments, was required for the loan to be approved due to the "lender's" terms.  The lender's name was Jeffrey Gasper from Canada.  I interrogated Mr. Somers for 20 minutes after believing something was suspicious about the deal.  He assured me that the company is operating legally in all 50 states. Unfortunately, I was in desperate need of loan and went against my intuition and sent the securitization for the loan.  And like the other complaints filed against this fradualent entity, I did not receive my loan but had been asked to send another payment of the same amount because the lender took a secondary review.   I asked for a refund to be sent to me immediately.  They said the promissory note agreement said 30 days for refunds, however, that was never stated anywhere in the note.  Prior to submitting my application, I researched the company thoroughly, and found no complaints.   It turns out that this company had just popped up and hadn't had time to make a unreputable name for themselves yet.  I filed a complaint with BBB and they processed the report and forwarded it to the FTC.  I then was instructed to file a complaint with the FBI in which I did.  My case is pending investigations upon the 30 day refund period.  I will update my situation once the 30 day allowance has passed and a full investigation by the FBI and FTC has commenced.
