Cory Peters For Davis And Keillor Finance Inc. Richard Willis Posing as a Financial Loan Officer, runs fraudulent business fraudulent website fraudulent contracts. took my money & ran. B B B, FTC, and the Police Departments nationwide have been notified. South Burlington, Vancouver, British Colombia Vermont, Canada
I was called by phone to say that I was approved for a business loan in the amount of $5000. This was in regards the online business loan application I had filled out. I asked what company I was dealing with and if they were a legal company. Corey Peters said yes. That he was a loan officer for Davis and Keillor Finance Incorporated located in South Burlington, VT. He told me that I was not approved for traditional lending but, I was approved by a private bank in which would do business with me. He explained what the company does promising people with bumpy credit would get approved with non-traditional lenders. He said that he reprents a company that wants to help people like myself that didn't have the credit worthiness and said that they negotiated a payment plan in order to approve the rest of my loan process.
Just like a down payment with any car dealer and bank process, he said that this would be the same sense as getting a loan with a private bank. I was to put at least $500.00 toward the loan to secure it and in return they would off-set 5 monthly payments. He said that the $500 would be going towards my loan and be refunded to me after I make a successful 5 monthly payments of $100.00. He also said that it would help build my credit and get my credit back on track. Probably smerking under his well thought up, "professional" sounding interview I believed him.
It sounded real, the contract he faxed to me looked real. It all just sounded legit. I reasearched the company right away, and was convinced that they were real. I did a business search with the BBB online, and found there were no complaints about the company and was in good standing for 3 years in a row in the BBB reports.
Unfortunately, I was mistaken when after I had sent the money to my "lender" Richard Willis, as he suggested to secure the loan. I was unable to get a hold of Corey Peters. Now I'm thinking Corey Peters or should I say alias : Richard Willis of Vancouver, British Columbia Canada? I have reported this fraud right away to the Western Union, my local Police Department and also the Federal Trade Commission and the Identity Theft department with all the major credit bureaus. I have all of my reports ready and the original contract signed in my hands.
I was a vicitm of fraud and didn't even know it. I hope they catch these guys. I don't know how many other people have fallen for their scam, but I hope to God not another person will. All most losing my business, I had funds saved for emergency purposes such as these. As a business person you never know what can happen but, you never know when you will be a vicitm of fraud.
Do your research! Don't think that even though you are under a secured site, it may not be. Never give personal information out! After years of hearing stuff like this, I prayed that it wouldn't happen to me but it did. Unsatisfied and very discouraged, I hope in the end all they will see is bars in the front of them, in back of them and the side of them. To justify my hopes, I hope they are caught and I get my money back!
