I have been scammed big time out of $5,000. I have 2 kids to feed, a car payment, bills to pay and these people rip me off of $500!!!! Tell me why I tried to call them all day today and kept getting a voicemail that says "Mailbox is full. Try again later. Goodbye" I've left a voicemail with David Edwards, emailed him AND even called the company number and to no avail NOTHING!!!!! I dont understand why people like this do things to other people!! ITs just not fair to us that have been a victim of this kind of thing. I want to know if anyone actually did receive their loan through these people. If you have, please contact me and how long did it take?

It's a common "scam" in the UK to take money from poor people (who are incapable of organising their own finances) and pretend to arrange loans ... some of these con-merchants even advertise on TV !
If you bothered to read the Contract chances are you would discover you are paying them as an 'Agent' to 'seek' (look for) or 'arrange' a loan' - they don't issue any loans themselves = they will arrange loans with some-one else - there will be no promise to actually find one and no defined timescale.
So long as they claim to still be looking there's not much you can do and so long as they arrange loans to at least a few 'customers' (victims) there is little the authorities can do.
Even if you get a Loan it will turn out you are paying rates of interest well over the odds and will often end up in even worse financial difficulties.
The world is full of parasites that make a living from sucking the blood of others = if you don't understand money, you WILL be bitten (unless you cut up your Credit Cards and stick to a basic Bank Account (no overdraft) and Debit card only).

This makes me sad and angry at the same time. We all got scammed. It seems that every day when I checked these boards, more and more people are coming foward with their stories. You would think the Atlanta Police would be ready to move forward and shut this company down. I'm still trying to see who I can contact to see about getting their website shut down. Too bad all of us can't start some kind of petition or list and send it to someone, a lawyer or something and move to have James Ford, Alex Buckley and whoever else is responsible for taking our deposits arrested and thrown in jail. Hopefully the police can and will do something. In the meantime, make sure you post your complaints on the BBB - the more people that files complaints, the more other people will see it and be warned that this company is a scam!

Yes, you are right. i too been a victim. i send $500 and until i have not heard from them. They are con artist and they will do this to a lot of people. they take advantage of people that are really in need of this money. I have called and called and I get the same message. "mailbox is full, try again later, goodbye." I believe i was given a cell phone that now it does not work. I don't think we will never get the so call ""loan money". We just lost $500 and they got away with it.

I think you have fallen victim of crooks. Obviously many people have been scammed and that is why their voice mail is full. Seek advice from the CAB and report them to the government office for fraud.
In financial matters always deal with the largest companies which are watched by the government.

I am in the same boat as you. My closing date was April 2nd.... File a complaint with the GA securities Dept and hopefully with enough of us, they will be stopped. I feel for you! I hope that it all works out for each one of us who has been scammed by these rotten bastards.
