Yes, I have heard of them...I just got scammed by them on thursday...I wired them my $885.76 to Lindsey Sharpe in Canada and they told me my money would be in there by 5pm the next day.I received a call the next day telling me now there was an issue and I would have to send in 4 more payments..I told them no...they told me they would refund the original 4 payments and cancel my loan, but it would be 3 weeks before they send my money back...they are a total scam...do not do it!!!!!!! trust me!!!

I was approved for a 15,000.00 dollar loan. They have not given me a dollar amount on the "applied" loan fee they require.The BBB of florida does have them listed.Look closely.THEY ARE NOT A MEMBER..And I am not sure but I am investigating them myself.I have asked alot of questions and have got NO answers.Funny thing , when I call I can not get anyone.They call me back.I believe this is a SCAM..Chase Financial Group is a Scam as well. There is no info on Chase except the website.The phone number through the BBB belongs to a business in GA.Not New york .New york is were they want the money sent to.And they claim they are not part of the company in GA. I am learning that the computer is the wrong place to find loans on anything.

Don't do it! I myself have been scammed by a company named Fortune Financial Inc. and i too was called by Rockwell. It is a scam. Since i got scammed a month ago by Fortune i have been checking people out before i do anything especially send them money. All web sites say "no legit lender will require you to send money upfront" Please take what i am saying seriously, you will never see your loan!

If people come out of the blue and offer to give you a fortune if only you ship them a check up front, you're probably looking at a scam.

Of course it is a scam. Loans, unless done througn your bank, that you approach, don't use cash as collateral (and if they do it is equal to the loan amount). Fool you once shame on them. Fool you twice, shame on you.
