Complaint Review: Ameritrust Investments

i also was scammed by ameritrust investments. it was in june and i applied for a loan, they told me i was approved but that i have to either come up with money for the insurance on the loan, or the first six months.

well the cheaper of the two (luckily) i chose to do the six months, i liquidated our bank accounts. (we dont have a whole lot anyway) and i sent them a money gram. gary and another guy assured me that i would have the money in 24 hours.

so me thinking this was a lidgit company , i wrote a couple of checks. two days passed and i still had not seen the money, so i contacted them , and they told me there was an issue and the tried to contact me (LIE!!!) well they said the lender said i lied on my application and that i had to come up with nine hundred more dollars, so i lost it, and then finally convinced them to just mail me a refund, the said that it would be released in fifteen days.

to this day (7-26-2005) i still have not seen any of that money... and to make madders worse, as well as getting the money i gramed them they also liquidated my bank account, so i went from having nothing to losing everything...

i still have not been able to get back the money i lost, and am working twice as hard to stay afloat. i contacted my local law enforcement, because not only did they still all my money the stole my identity.

so any one who has had this happen, make sure you get a copy of your credit report, and i hope this doesnt happen to any one else. and i hope that someone catches these guys soon...
