Answer 1

You aren't going to get your money back.

Any loan company that asks for fees up front is not legitimate.

They are not based in the USA, so other than taking a report, law enforcement isn't going to be able to do much of anything for you.

Answer 2

I've never heard of this company but this sounds like a total scam to me. I could understand putting money up if this were a property deal--- most of the closing costs in a home purchase don't go to the lender itself but to all the third parties (appraisals, attorneys, etc). But not on a personal loan. I would be pretty suspicious about this. Like I said, I've never heard of them so I am not saying this particular company is shady, but their business practice sure seems very suspicious. Also, I did a google search on their name and got no relevant results which seems pretty unusual for any business that's been around for more than a couple of weeks. There's simply no logic to it--- say you send them $467. That's your collateral for the first 6 payments. What's the collateral for the next 6? Doesn't add up. If I were you, I would not send these people any money and I'd watch my credit report very closely for the next 12-24 months. Since those folks already have all your personal information, there is no telling what they will do with it. PS... any company says they'll send you a written note saying that you can take them to court if things don't work out...ummm... not sure I want to do business with those folks!

Never heard of them, but I was almost scamed out of $750.00 by a company called The Hawkins Group located in Holifax Nova Scotia in Canada. They wanted me to wire them $750.00 dollars for a loan of $5000. The contract that they e mail me look like something I could have type my self. I knew something wasn't right when I notice the way that contract looked and it also had mispelled words in it. I gave them a piece of my mind when I went to Hawkins Group Ripoff Report and they popped up. I called them, fax them and sent them a very nasyt e mail to let them know that they were trying to scam me and that they would never get any money from me up front for a loan. I should had known it was a scam when they ask me to go to a wal mart or kmart and wire the money to some man by the name of Robert lu. I am so glad I woke up and smell the coffee before I got scammed. NEVER apply for any loans on line when they ask you to wire a lump sum of money because that is nothing but a scam so please beware next time. Sorry you got scammed out of all that money. I really don't know if it is much you can do to get your money back. They are probably over in one of those foreign countries. Sorry

First, don't send any more money no matter what you are told! Second, contact your state's attorney general's office. They should have a fraud unit. Be prepared to present all the information you can to their investigator. Third, file a complaint with your police department. Fourth, see if you can contact the attorney general in the state where the company is located and file a complaint with them. It may be too late but contact the BBB and the SEC, too.

Answer 5

Call the Police.

I am sure they will stop chasing the Serial Killer, Child Kidnapper and Wife Raper in your city to chase a $915.00 scam artist.

Answer 6

Odds are you'll never see your money... consider it a lesson and move on with your life. If you want to report it, just go to your local police station and file a complaint.
