My Husband was contacted by Emerson Financial Group and was offered a $5000 loan if he would money gram the down payment of $900.My husband did so and when it was time for them to follow through with the loan they came up with the excuse that the private investor needed more money down.My husband just said forget it and refund the money back to my account.The so called Gen Manager told him that it would be July 11th before he would refund the money so I called them myself.I didnt get anywhere with these people and told them that I was going to contact the proper authorities if my husbands money didnt get refunded to him.In return George House called back leaving a message on my husbands voice mail stating he would never get a refund and that i am a @itch.These people fax a contract to you and try to make everything look legit.I have the contracts and the money gram reciept.I was leary about this from the begining but my husband went through with it anyway.Now we are out $900 which is like a million to us.We have 3 kids and this has really hurt us financially! I cant be mad at my husband he was only trying to do what he thought was right to help us out but instead he got slapped in the face.They must be stopped and I will work day and night to make sure they are!!!

I too was ripped off by emerson. You can look up my report on Ripoff also. They truly must have worked in the business before because they not only had papers that seemed legit but they could smooth talk you into believing that they are on your side working for you. Seeing how I just wired the biggest paycheck I have ever given to anyone, I guess they weren't lying when they said we are working for you. Thank God that I didn't go and borrow anymore money because otherwise, we would have lost our house and what kind of life would that be for two little ones? These people need to be brought down and stripped of everything they own. God forbid they have children and are teaching them their ways! Hang in there! You are not alone and definately not the only one fooled by these people!

I found some information

Hello I wanted to inform you that I feel the exact same way. I have found out that more than likely they are not based in New York, but Toronto Canada. I have filed a report with the Akron Police Department, called the FBI akron (which informed that even though they could not do anything because it is out of the country they would put the fear of God in them. I'm not sure who you sent your MoneyGram to but I sent it to Alice Houston, Lockeport Nova Scotia, Canada. I called and spoke to the Sgt. in Lockeport. He informed me to call moneygram which I did and found out that they took the funds from Toronto. The moneygram people told me that they would report it and informed me to also get a subpeona for the money gram, so they could give me the exact location of where it was picked up. They also told me to call the FTC, after filing a report with them, the FTC told me to call Phone Busters Canada 8884958501. I have a sneaking suspicion that the July 11th date for the refund is really a "shut down shop" date. I hope this helps a little.

Sincerely,

Ndaneh
