Yes they are!!!! I am the victim as well - James Ford and his 'employees' are a bunch of con artists! I have exchanged phone msgs and emails with this character up until Tuesday of this week. He's nothing but a lying, conniving thief - I spoke to Dectective Kim Farner of the Atlanta Police for over 20 minutes yesterday and it seems that good ole GA Trust Financial has been under investigation since January! The so-called 'security officers' that pick up the Western Union are individuals like you and me who get their percentage of our deposits and then James Ford and his crooks get their cut. I am so pissed off at this guy, I'm doing everything I can to let him know that he's not getting away with this. Anyone that has been a victim, I urge you to step forward and speak up. Things I've done: faxed Dectective Farner a 13 pages of the 'loan documents' from James Ford, our email exchanges which shows his 'promise' of my loan and how his company is legit, I've filed a complaint with the BBB and they actually sent me an email today saying that they have sent my complaint to James Ford and he has until April 12 to reply, I've also put a Fraud Alert via Equifax since they have my social security number, I've also put a password lock on my checking/savings account and I've also posted a blog on ripoffreport.com and guess what? I faxed it over to those crooks so they can see just what they're up against - I also called Western Union and unfortunately there is nothing I can do about the $500 deposit but I can bring this to the attention of everyone who's dealt with James Ford and who are thinking about it - if you have money to throw away, go right ahead....me, I'm going to do everything I can to help the authorities prosecute the thief!- Beware of GA Trust Financial! They are nothing but lying, scamming crooks!

So, i am in the same boat, well kinda. I was told that I was approved for a loan and I sent $1000.00 via western union however it has been 3 days and I still have not recieved my money. Luckly I had just opened a new bank account that had no money in it so if they try to get money from the account they don't have much to take.. Has anyone out there recieved there money. Also, anyone who is in the same boat, this place is now listed on the www.bbb.com please tell your story on that web site so that people like us don't have this happen to them..

They scam... they charge 10% up front and you never see your loan. They aren't listed by the BBB or in Georgia.

This is a statement, not a question. That said, NO LEGITIMATE lender will ever ask you to send money money upfront. All of the contact information you gave was useless when you received it and they make up new info every time.
