FIRST ALLIANCE FUNDING CORPORATION THEY ARE STILL AT HARTFORD Connecticut
Applied for a bad credit loan, since I knew my credit was not perfect. Edward Gibson contacted me and told me I was approved for 5000.00 but since I had bad credit I needed to send 500.00 which I thought was fair so I went to Money Gram in Wal-Mart and wired the money. Called him with the reference number and he stated all was good and would have the money in my account within 24 hours.
I needed this money to get ahead on household bills and maybe use some for Christmas. Friday comes and no money in my account. So I tried to call and all you get is a recording, takes forever and I do mean forever like over 5 hours to get anyone on the phone. I started calling on Saturday at 9:30 am which is when they open and did not get a body until 12:30. Kathy stated that I had a problem with the insurance that was needed for the account. This was never stated to me and in the contract it states either the 500.00 or 1000.00 for the insurance. But because I was a first time customer, I had to do both. When I asked for a refund of the money that was sent, I was told it would take 15 business days. Now I am out for 15 days the 500.00 plus wire fees and about to have everything turned off since I borrowed against bills thinking I would have the money to get ahead. They misrepresented themselves on the terms of this loan and are reluctant to refund the money. A fair resolution would be to deposit the money back into my account within 24 hours.

I have read alot of the ripp-off report and may have a sugesstion for you as well.
I have been scammed by the same company and allowing them until today to refund my money. I have talked to several people about this matter and even a family member that is in banking. Since this is a Banking issue and an Internet Fraud,and since they list themselves in the International Banking Guidelines. My Family member sugessted I contact the FBI. There are several Federal Laws that have been broken and the most important one is that theyu now have all your identity information. I have plans on seeking their help and will see a better result from it.

I too am yet another stupid bumblehead that fell victim to their scam. I filed everything needed. But all of you others need to put your credit on fraud alerts etc. remember they have everything they need to get you for even more. Did anyone call the Hartford Police dept. (I did) maybe they will do something there. couldn't hurt. If we all start bombarding them with calls they have to listen. Its no longer about the money lost. I want someone arrested for scamming people or at least that website shut down for good. But your all right Karma is coming for them and its going to come down hard on them. They are all just sitting there laughing at this but they are the criminals and they WILL GET caught. If they arent superstisous they should be. Karma IS Coming for them...... I found out lots of interesting tidbits on my own. If you just look close enough. I don't want to say anything more.

Yes, First Alliance Funding corporation scammed me.
They are probably reading this now.
These scammers, and so called Marie Millette or whoever I spoke to on the phone, will get caught. You can't hide too long.
I won't stop until I get my money and justice is served. Not only will it be with the law, but the burning sensation in your stomachs knowing that what you are doing is wrong. Karma will get you soon.
**First Alliance Funding Corporation** scammed me, but haven't gotten the best of me. Although, these perpetrators scammed me for $990......I will get a bigger payout when everyone that is involved is revealed. Yes, these rip off artists have continously changed their names, phone numbers, websites etc....and probably have done it for years........they haven't won. They may think they did, because they were able to weasle money from us, but the this is just the beginning. If these scammers are parents, or even grandparents...karma will effect them for the rest of their lives. Their kids are growing up in sad sad lives, with sad sad parents, who can't work a real job but figure out ways to take money from hard working people. ***
For those that have been scammed from a company like First Alliance Funding Corporation, there are many ways to get help. Even if these poor saps do their scamming from Canada.
There are several departments that can help you.
*Office of Attorney General
*Better Business Bureau
*Internet Fraud Company
*Private Detectives
etc..etc..etc.....

SOME INFORMATION

Wed, December 17, 2008
I have filed a report with the Better Business Bureau and have received a response. I also filed with the Federal Trade Commission. There are more filings that I have to do but I will do what I need to do to warn and help others not to fall into the same trap. This is definitely a scam and I got burned bad. I have contacted the Department of Banking and they will provide other information for you to file and I will proceed to do that as well. Please all learn from my mistake and research research and if they ask for money it is a scam. I felt it was but just wasn't sure and I fell hook line and sinker and here I sit mad at myself for being gulliable.

NO REFUND AS OF YET

They will not answer their phones. Yesterday 12/15/08 when I called, the phone kept saying good bye and hanging up on me. Today they are ringing again but no one picking up. Checked with the BBB today and now they are listed as Loans-Scam under TOB Classification. So please don't hold your breath about getting a refund because it probably will not happen. Mine has been almost 10 days already and they are not getting back to me. They do know that I files this report.

First off, the money was sent to Canada, which they have no jurisdiction over. Also, the person you sent the money too did not even use their real name. They use fake Id's. You should fill out the police report, however, they wont be able to do anything either. THis is why this scam has been going on for years, they know that once the cash is sent to Canada, US authorities cannot do anything.

Thanks Robert so I guess the next step would be to file a police report since they had me wire money thru money gram. I have the receipt and the person's name to whom the money was wired to out of Cleveland Ohio. I also have the contract for the loan so also add that to the paperwork for the police. It was funny that they knew this report was filed and the woman on the phone was nasty. She told me to keep filing and I told her I will. LOL. Thanks so much for your input.

Its the advance fee loan scam, they operate out of Canada. They are putting you off so they can scam a little more before they change their name. Look up Hudson Lending, Stanford Lending, Charterstone Lending. All stories exactly like yours and all people waiting for a refund they never get.

Well just got off the phone with them again, as they were supposed to send an email in reference to my funds. The customer service representative stated that they were going to compensate me for my hradship but since I had filed this report they disapproved my compensation. But I still have to wait for the return of my funds that I sent them.
