Complaint Review: Cambridge Financial Group

I was first contacted by a Kevin Bonner. He stated that he had been referred by by my bank. He stated that he was able to give me a loan for 35,000 at 6% fixed. He stated worked with another lender and he was working with another lender and that this was a secured loan. He first needed 5 months worth of payments to secure this loan. He sent me a fax stating this and I was unsure at first but the fax looked real! I also looked on the website and that made me a little unsure. I really needed the loan so I sent the money. He stated I needed to send it via Money Gram and to a Jill Hodges in Manitoba, Canada. I received a call from a Dennis Young stating that he was Kevin Bonner's manager and he was very sorry but they needed another 5 months worth of payments due to it being such a large loan.

I stated that was a lot of money but I sent it to the same person in Canada, Jill Hodges. The money wasn't in my account the next day so I started calling him. He finally answered me and stated the money was gone and the lender in Canada must have left with it. He also stated that he would refund me. He stated that if I don't receive the money by the following week to call him. Well, a week later I tried to reach him and the number was disconnected. I looked it up on the internet and there was nothing! I was scammed. I right away called the FTC, Money Gram, Police, my bank accounts. I can't believe this. I will be filling for bankruptcy due to this! I lost a total of over $6700 out of pocket!
