Complaint Review: Benton Financial Group

Benton financial group, beware of this company. I have bad credit and have been looking for lenders who loan to people with good jobs but bad credit on the internet. I received a call from Helen Ward telling me that I was approved for a 6000.00 loan. She told me that I was approved by a private lender. She said that she tried to get me approved from banks but my credit was too bad. She asked me for my email address and sent me a really legitimate looking loan document. There are a couple of misspelled words and words that were grammatically incorrect, but I thought well, it happens. The number she called me from and the number that she gave me to call back was totally different. She then said that even though I was approved, I needed to send 756.00 dollars which was like a security deposit so the lender will grant the loan. She said after I send the money, the lender will electronically send the 6000.00 to my checking account and that the 756.00 was as 5 payments, so my payments will start in October. She told me that interest rate was only 8.5%. I send the money to Canada through Money Gram to someone name Camona Torres. She told me that that was the person who was going to make the deposit in my checking account at 8:00 pm that same day, I never received it. I called her, and she was always in a meeting then, she said that one of the customers got away with 100.000, 00 and that now I had to pay another 756.00. I asked for a refund and they told me that it would take 3 weeks; that they were going to mail me a check it never happened. There is no way to open a case against them since the money was send to another country. They keep giving people different business is locations. Now I ask myself, how could I've been so stupid to fall for that scam? I really hope that they get cough and send to hail for robbing hard working people. I hope that all of them burn in hell. Please stop and think if it is too good to be true don't do it. Do not be another victim.
Please beware this is a scam!!!!!
