Complaint Review: CEDAR BROOK LENDING GROUP

I WAS CONTACTED BY ADAM WHITE FROM CEDARBROOK LENDING GROUP AFTER APPLYING FOR PERSONAL LOAN THROUGH INTERNET SEARCH SITES.THEY WANTED $1643.98 AS 'PREPAYMENT' FOR 7 MONTHS, ON A $10,000 LOAN. I WAS VERY SKEPTICAL. BUT AFTER FINDING NO INFO[AT THAT TIME] THAT SAID THEY WERE A SCAM AND BEING IN A FINANCIAL CRISIS, I SENT THE MONEY GRAM TO YORKTON CANADA IN CARE OF ALLISON CRUZ .

THE NEXT DAY A REP. FROM CEDARBROOK CALLED AND SAID THAT BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY THE LENDER WANTED ANOTHER $1643.98 TO SECURE THE LOAN.AT THIS TIME I KNEW I HAD MADE A BIG MISTAKE AND ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK. I WAS TOLD NO PROBLEM IT WOULD BE DIRECT DEPOSITED IN MY CHECKING THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY. THIS WAS OCT. 20 2008.

ON OCT 21 THERE WAS NO DIRECT DEPOSIT,SO I CALLED THEM AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULDN'T REFUND MY MONEY UNTIL NOV. 24, 2008.TODAY IS MON. NOV. 24 AND NO MONEY HAS BEEN DEPOSITED AND WHEN I CALL THE NUMBER PROVIDED THERE IS NO ANSWER. I HOPE LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL CATCH THESE SCAMMERS AND SEND THEM TO JAIL FOR EVER.
