Lumford Financial Services loan scam/fraud New York New York

I was contacted by lumford financial services from a man named Kevin Wells, regarding a loan in the amount of $15,000. We had to send a copy my husbands drivers license, a copy of his social security card, pay stub, and bank info. We were told we had to send $1000 for a trust in case we became in arrears they can use that so we do not skip a payment. He said the loan would be in our bank account in 24 hours. That never happened, I called him and he said we had to pay half of an insurance policy because of our credit, we sent another $1500, We had to send the $1000 and $1500 to a guy named Martin Smith in canada by western union. Then "kevin wells" said our loan would be in the account in 6-12 hours. Well again no money in our account. I called him and he said they needed the other half of the insurance policy, I told him I was not going to send any more money, and we want our money back right away. He said company policy would not let him return our money for 30 days. There was nothing in our contract about that. Well I contacted anyone I could about this. The authorities said this is definitely a scam. There website isn't even real, it gives an address that they are not even located at. I called 641 lexington ave in new york and spoke with security and they said there is no company by that name at that address. Well then a couple days later, "kevin wells" had the nerve to call me from a number that I found on rip-off.com, 646-536-9090. He said his supervisor wanted him to call me and see how much money I can afford to send for our loan. I told him I want my money back and him not to call me again. I reported this to every agency I could find. Now we are out $2500.
