Newport Lending GroupNewport Lending Group Newport Lending Group - They are a Scam Ripoff Wichita Kansas

I received a phone call on 12/20/06 from James Tucker stating he was able to obtain a lender willing to give me a loan. He stated because of my credit issues I needed collateral for the loan and that would be in the form of four payment in the amount of $223.86 totaling $895.44. I told him I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it and I would call him back. He stated he would fax me th necessary form in case I decided I want to take the loan. He told me if I wanted information about his company to go the Better Business Bureau and check out his company. I went to the site and there were no complaints so I thought they were on the up and up. I spoke with James Tucker again on 12/22/06 and told him that I wanted the loan. He informed me I need to send the money to a Pamela Leford in Guston, Alberta Canada. He told me I had to send the money by way of moneygram because it was cheaper for the international fees. He also told me I need to fax him a voided check, my driver license, paystub and ssn. After faxing and sending the money, I call James Tucker again and at that time I let him know I was a little hesitant about this whole process and he guaranteed me the money would be in my account the next morning. I told him at that time that if the moeny was not in my account I would call him back to let him know how unsatisfied I was. The next morning the money wasn't in my account. I called James Tucker and he never answered his phone. I left him a message letting him know that I was filing a complaint with the Better Busines Bureau, the Attoney General's office and anyone who would listen. A few days later I received a phone call from Jonathan Morgan letting me know, after the lender looked at my application, they were going to require an addition 895.44 from me. I told him he was not getting anymore money from me and I wanted back the money that I had already sent to him. Jonathan Morgan told me I would get my money back at the end of the billing cycle, I told him, he didn't have to wait to get my money, why did I have to wait to get it back. He told me my money would be sent by way of Federal Express on 12/30/06 and I will receive it by 01/02/07. I let Jonathan Morgan know that if I didn't get my money by that date, I would report him and anyone else in his company to make sure this didn't happen to anyone else. I called their phone number today and I got a recorded message stating "Your account has been placed on hold. Please contact customer service."
