EAST BAY CAPITOL GROUP IS A RIPOFF SCAM. IT TOOK $682.42 THAT I HAD TO BORROW TO RECEIVE THEIR SERVICE. *Consumer Suggestion
I ANSWERED AN AD IN OUR LOCAL CLASSIFIEDS UNDER THE HEADING OF "FINANCIAL SERVICES". IT ADVERTISED THAT 99% APPROVED. REDUCE YOUR BILLS INTO 1 LOW PAYMENT.
SO, I CALLED THE 800# IN THE PAPER AND TALKED WITH KYLEE ROBERTS WHO TOOK ALL THE NEEDED INFORMATION FOR THE APPLICATION. I FOUND OUT THE NEXT DAY THAT I WAS "APPROVED" FOR $5,000, AND THEY NEEDED A BLANK CHECK FOR THE ROUTING INFORMATION BECAUSE THE MONEY WOULD BE DEPOSITED IN 24-48 HOURS.
FIRST, OF ALL IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR THE LOAN, IT COULD APROVED BY THREE DIFFERENT WAYS. (1).USE A CO-SIGNER WHO HASN'T FILED BANKRUPTCY IN THE LAST 5 YEARS (2).
HAVE COLLATERAL WORTH THE AMOUNT OF THE LOAN OR (3)USE DELTA INSURANCE WHICH WOULD COVER THE PAYMENTS IF I BECAUSE ILL OR DISABLE, OR LAID OFF. I CHOSE THE THIRD METHOD.
I WIRED THE MONEY TO A ROBERT IN CANADA, THEY HAD TO HAVE THIS BEFORE THEY COULD FINISH PROCESSING THE APPLICATION.
NEEDLESS TO SAY EVERYTHING FELL THROUGH; NOW I CAN'T GET THROUGH ON THE PHONE.
I'TS EITHER BUSY OR TOO FULL TO LEAVE A MESSAGE.
I DESPERATELY NEED HELP! THE MONEY I SENT WASN'T EVEN MINE, I BORROWED IT FROM A FRIEND WHO WENT IN THE HOLE BECAUSE OF THIS TOO.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAD CHECKS BOUNCING LEFT AND RIGHT. MY BANK WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO WORK WITH ME.

I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT ONCE KYLEE ROBERTS WAS NO LONGER WORKING MY APPLICATION, I BEGAN WORKING WITH PETER BURKE. HE ASSURED ME EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. HE WAS TRYING TO GET MY LOAN PROCESSED WITH A COUPLE OF OTHER PEOPLES' APPLICATIONS. I TOLD HIM OF MY SITUATION ABOUT MY CHECKS BOUNCING. HE GUARANTEED ME THAT THE MONEY WOULD BE DEPOSITED ON A CERTAIN DAY, THEREFORE, I BELIEVED HIM AND WROTE A FEW CHECKS. IT COST ME $320 IN INSUFFICIENT FUNDS FEE. THE PERSON I WIRED THE MONEY TO WAS A MARTIN DOBSON IN TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA. IT WAS $689.42 TOTAL.
You may get some relief from the Royal Canadian Police,

Rebuttal:
You may get some relief from the Royal Canadian Police, but I would need to know what area in Canada received your money.
Don't get your hopes up, once your money leaves the States you can pretty much kiss it goodbye.
They are using a New York address to hide the fact they are in
Canada...you need to put a call into the New York Attorney General so no one else gets hurt.
Good Luck
