Beacon Financial Group ADVANCED FEE LOAN SCAM FROM CANADA 6000 FAIRVIEW ROAD, Internet
What a huge scam this turned out to!! beacon financial group, supposedly located in Charlotte, NC, is nothing but a bunch of lying crooks. They really do seem very legitimate when they contact you "out of the blue" to tell you "we got you approved for $5000.00" by a private investor. This investor only needs you to make (4)payments of $225.00, the first (4)loan payments as collateral for the loan. So, like a fool, I gather every dime i have one week before Christmas, and Money gram these criminals $914.16 for the loan. I sent this money to Canada to a "Susan Deloris Dimmick" in Grandview, Which turns out to be Ontario. My loan representative "James Carpenter" immediately called me needing the reference number for the money gram, So i gave it to him, and then he ask for my Banking Information, and I gave that to, He said it was to transfer my new loan into my checking account.(i'm so stupid") So here i am stoked, ready to finish Christmas, consolidate a few debts, Feeling good. The next day, I call James Carpenter to find out what time the funds would be in my acount. He says, by 5pm. Two hours later i receive a phone call from Customer Service at Beacon Financial Group, telling me the investor has re-reviewed my credit, and an additional (4)collateral payments will be needed to recieve the loan. I was on the internet by now, researching this, and came across another Beacon story explaining the same thing. I immediately ask for a refund of the ($916.00) I had already sent. He got very loud and obnoxious, threatening to give the refund to charity, and ruin my credit even worse if I contacted the Authorities.
When i called my loan representative back, James Carpenter, he acted as though he knew nothing about it, and that My file was locked from his view. LIAR-LIAR, I called back customer service and explained i would be seeing this through to the end. I dont really expect my money back, but i promise not to give up, until someone makes these people pay for hurting my family, and other people. If anyone has any other information concerning this scam with Beacon Financial Group, Please contact me on here. Lets end these people!!!!!

Advance-Fee Loan Scams: Easy' Cash Offers Teach Hard Lessons

Just When You Thought It Was Safe...Advance-Fee Loan "Sharks"
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt028.shtm
Like this about the use of existing company names that have nothing to do with the scam:
A lender who uses a copy-cat or wanna-be name. Crooks give their companies names that sound like well-known or respected organizations and create websites that look slick. Some scam artists have pretended to be the Better Business Bureau or another reputable organization, and some even produce forged paperwork or pay people to pretend to be references. Always get a company's phone number from the phone book or directory assistance, and call to check they are who they say they are. Get a physical address, too: a company that advertises a PO Box as its address is one to check out with the appropriate authorities.

I am sorry for you situation as I was also scammed by another company in October going under the name of CedarBrook Lending. Go to the site scamwarners.com and you can report your experiences there. Unfortunately, these companies come and go in a matter of weeks but there are people out there tracking them.

Contact the FTC (federal trade commission.I was scammed by these folks as well. I spoke to a woman at the FTC who informed me that if they get enough complaints against the company, they will file a class action law suite against the company on our behalf, but they need to know what happened.
