HARBOR LENDING GROUP, CHARLES PIERSON AND PAUL JENSON ******SCAM ARTISTS ATLANTA Georgia
I received a phone call from a loan consultant name Charles Pierson. I was told that I was approved for a loan of $5000.00. First they said that I had to put down my first 4 payment which was 885.00. They told me that I would have to send the money gram, person to person someone by the name of Karen Lassfy who is in Canada. They sound really convincing, but I should have known something was wrong when they didn't ask for any bank statement or paystub or anything.
I work for a mortgage company, so I should have known better. Everything just sounded so good, so I gave them the money on a Saturday on May 31st 2008. They said that the money will be in my will be directly deposited into my account on Monday June 2, 2008. I didn't not receive anything. That day I received a phone call from a man named Paul Jenson who was suppose to be the manager. I was told from him that it went in recession and that transunion is not gonna accept just the $885.00 and that they need another 4 payments down.
So I told them that I want my money back and they told me that I wouldn't be able to get it until June 30th because they do all refunds at the end of the month. They did get $885.00 off of me and I'm hoping I get it back. I want them to pay for ripping me off. They not only ripped me off but they ripped my children off also. I was broke with no money and had no food to feed my two children. I think that those bastards need to pay for what they've done to me and my family.

You want answers ?? Here's some for you. First - NO LENDER requires money up front forr a personal loan. Do you not know this ????? THAT should have tipped you off immediately that this was a scam. Secondly - These scammers are in a foreign country, out of reach of US law enforcement. They will never be caught and you will never see a penny of your money again. WISE UP and stop falling for obvious scams !!!! This one has been exposed so many times that it is uncountable - even Western Union posts a warning about it on their own money orders, for Pete's sake.

I too know how you feel. The same thing happened to me! I was in the hospital having major surgery when I learned this was a scam! I am in the hole $1640. I too was in desparate need of the money. I hope these bastards are found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! They deserve to rot for what they have done to innocent people like us! I definetly know how you feel, I just hope that we have answers soon!
