They robbed me of over $1000 for a $7000 loan. The $1000 was what they claimed a "security deposit." When I found out it was a scam it was too late...they had already picked up the money wired from western union....duh! like they're going to wait to get it, right? The two women that I spoke to went by the names of "Michelle Lindsey" and "Emily Sumn"... from "Walton's Financial Group" they claimed to have been reffered by cityfinancial. What cityfinancial cannot explain is how these people were able to get into their system and steal my information. CityFinancial was the only place I applied for a loan. So, the question is, how did they get my info?

You need to file a report with the police and the FTC at ftc.gov.

I was also scammed by Walton's finanical group. I applied to Citibank and was denied. Two days later Walton's financial group called me and asked me if I still was interested in a loan. She said she could find me a lender. Michelle Lindsey called me and said I was approved for $6000. I had to send 980.00 as insurance security. I sent that money western union and a day later I was suppose to have my loan deposited. I did not and called them and Emily Sonne told me that I needed to send an additional $225 for the international tax from CITC. I sent the money in hopes to receive the loan. The next day I never rec'd the loan, I called Emily and she acted like I should have had my money. When she called me back she told me that Expert insurance needed $300.00 more because they found something on my credit that was shaky. I cancelled the loan and Emily told me that I wouldn't be able to get my money back until 6/6. When I started searching online - I found so many other people who were scammed too. This needs to be stopped.
