HILLSIDE FINANCIAL GROUP, Mark Hamilton, Ellen McCarthy, Greg Stevens LAWSUIT WANTED AGAINST FRAUDULENT COMPANY AND PERSONS RESPONSIBLE Orlando, FLORIDA; Stayner, ON Canada Nationwide

Ellen McCarthy first contacted me about my online loan application I had submitted. She gave me the run down on the terms and conditions. It sounded alright and I was needing money quickly. I was approved for a $15,000 loan with a 6% intrest and was requested to pay my first 8 months of payments in one sum as a collateral payment, totaling $1980, and after wire transfer, over $2000. I was faxed, what I now realize is fake, loan agreement. After the first transfer i was expecting my loan to be directly depoisted into my personal checing account. (And yes, they have ALL my personal information.) The $15k I was expecting never made it to my account. I contacted Ellen McCarthy about the problem and she then told me she had been restriced from my files and that her "account manager" Mark Hamilton was handling the issue. This guy is a real pr**k. He threw alot of red flags that I just didn't pay mind to. Mark Hamilton informed me that I would have to pay an additional $2000 because of insurance purposes for my loan and lender. He assured me that this would take care of the problem and I would recieve my full loan amount no later than 5pm the next day. I wired the additional $2k that evening. The next day at exactly 4:59pm I recieved a phone call from Mark telling me that the lender backed out, but he just didn't know why. But on my behalf they would sue them. HA! I demanded my money back and he told me it couldn't be released until July 13th. He continue to put his foot in his mouth by saying that the private invester was the first time hillside financial had ever delt with them (not so great on customer care, eh) Then he said the contract between the invester and Hillside Financial required the invester to provide Hillside Financial with the $15k. That made Hillside the "lender". But I wired my $4000 collateral payment to some guy in Stayner, Canada by the name of Greg Stevens, not to Hillside Financial Group. Mark also informed me that there was another invester ready to take on my loan, but I would have to provide another $2000. I declined and told him I would be in contact with him about making arrangments on getting my money back. I am absolutely outraged by this.

I hope that any and every person who has been taken advantage of by this fraudulent company and it's "employees" would take the time and make the effort to work and connect with others who want to take their money back. I am more than willing to take full legal action against Hillside Financial Group, Mark Hamilton, Ellen McCarthy, and Greg Stevens. These people face charges of Fraud, possibly wire fraud, id fraud, bank fraud, and more. As I am sure this is probably not the first time they have defrauded people.
