Allstate Financial Group approved loan, took deposit, didn't deliver loan as promised, sent refund letter, no refund and all numbers and email now disconnected. Ajax Ontario
Allstate Financial is a company working with others to approve income only based loans. Some have had good luck but more of us have sent in the security blanket and receives nothing else. As of 12-22-2007 all email lines and phone lines are disconnected. Theyy have referred me to Collingwood group who now wants more money for me to receive my refund.

This is a comon scam where just a little common sense goes a long way

The very first red flag should have been the Ontario address. They purposely do this as they are out of the jurisdiction of law enforcement in the United States. This should have been obvious.
The second common sense item is that legitimate loans NEVER require "deposits" or "insurance". These are called advance fee loans and are prohibited by federal law.
There never was a loan. Lesson learned.
Don't let financial desperation override your common sense. If is sounds too good to be true, it usually is. There is no magic loan fairy, If you couldn't get a loan anywhere else, there is a reason. Address that issue first.
