Complaint Review: EMERSON FINANCIAL GROUP

Hi I was contacted by Emerson Financial in regards to getting approved for a loan for 8,000 based on a application that I filled out on June 13, 2008 I was out of town a senior loan rep going by the name of Scott Tillman contacted me and shared with me that I was approved for the full 8,000.00 but there was some stips that I needed to know based on not having collateral (owning a home) that I needed to send the first 5 payments totaling 770.00 so I agreed but had doubt because it was sent in the form of money gram and I needed to do it person to person to Canada so I asked Scott he shared it was a private lender funding the loan and the payments would actually be made to Emerson Financial so I wired the funds since this was done last Friday evening June 20th 2008 he shared with me that funds would be wired into my account the next business day that day came and gone and when trying to contact them the phone number no longer worked so I don't wish this on anyone I know these people will get caught but these guy's are professional scam artist but doing bad things to a lot of good people only last a short while.
