Brimley Financial Group Scammed me, my disabled child, and my family out of all our money Amery, Wisconsin
On July 17, 2009, I entered into a loan agreement with Brimley Financial Group through their representative, David Quinn. In this agreement, I paid Brimley Financial Group $800 towards a loan of $5000. This $800 was 5 months collateral of $160 for each month. My payments were not supposed to start until February 2010.
David Quinn asked me to Money Gram Karla Clifton from Ontario, Canada $800 on July 17th. He asked me to call him back with my reference number. When I did this, he told me that the $5000 would be deposited into my account by the next day. On July 18th, my money had not been deposited. So, I called David Quinn on Monday, July 20th. When he answered the phone, he sent me to Customer Service because he was not sure what was going on. That is when I started working with Marcus Riley.
Marcus Riley looked into my account. He told me that the bank decided they needed another $800 collateral. So, again I sent $800 by Money Gram to Karla Clifton in Ontario, Canada on Tuesday, July 21st. I called Marcus Riley with the reference number. He guaranteed me that my money would be in within a couple of hours. Again, it never showed up.
I called again later Tuesday. He told me that the bank had backed out of the deal. He asked if anything had changed in my credit report. I told him that it had not. He said that he was going to check into it and let me know if he could find out what was going on. He seemed upset about the whole thing.
I called Marcus Riley again on Wednesday. He said he had great news for me. I was approved for a loan of $7000 but I needed another $800 collateral. I started to get suspicious. I told him that I would not be able to come up with another $800. He told me that he would keep looking for a $5000 loan for me. So, I kept calling him every few days. Marcus guaranteed me that if they could not find a loan for me that I would get my money back on August 7 (which is the day that they cut their checks).
On August 6th, I talked to Marcus Riley again. He said that they could not find me a loan, but they would be sending my $1600 back tomorrow. He thought they would be sending it in the mail. I talked to him again on August 7th, and he told me that they had already sent my money by Fed Ex. I was supposed to be getting the money by 1:00 pm Saturday.
Needless to say, the money did not show up on Saturday. I called and left a message for Marcus Riley late Saturday afternoon and again on Sunday. On Monday, I tried to call and talk to him. He would not answer my call. The calls are screened and he will not answer my calls. My wife and I have both tried calling and have left messages. My family consists of 5 people, including myself, a disabled child, a disabled mother-in-law, my wife, and a 2 year old. We are in desperate need of our money back.

Sorry you were scammed

I am sorry you were scammed, but you should NEVER have to pay money to get a loan. Sure sign of a scam. There are 11 other reports on Brimley Financial Group on this site and numerous others if you google them!! Sending the money via MONEY GRAM to Canada is another tip off. There are many people who have fallen for this and unfortunately, it is very unlikely you will get your money back.
I wish you better luck in the future.
