Complaint Review: GA Trust Financial

My story is much like the others on this website about this company. I was struggling financially and looking for solutions and I found the website for GA Trust Financial. I filled out there online loan application and was contact by David Edwards (a representative) a few days later and told that I was approved. However, because of my credit history I was going to be required to put down a 10% deposit, which equaled $2,500.00.

So I borrowed the money and sent it to them by MoneyGram. I thought it a little odd that I was addressing the money gram to an individual (Susie Butler) rather than to a company, but I was desperate and ready to believe anything. I transferred the money on March 30, 2007.

I then attempted to contact Mr. Edwards to let him know the funds had been transferred, but received his voicemail every time that I called. After a few days of leaving messages, he fianlly contacted me on April 3, 2007, I gave him the MoneyGram information, along with my banking information and he told me that the money would be transferred into my account with 24 to 48 hours.

The time period came and passed and to my dismay I never recieved the money. Since that time I have been continually calling the number I was given and I keep getting the same message "This mailbox is full, please try your call again later."

I have sent several emails and tried calling the number on the company website several times, but no one has ever gotten back in touch with me. Please do not fall for this scam as I have.
