Complaint Review: Kressler Venture Group

I was in need of a loan in a bad way. I had been online and filled out numerous applications. One day my husband and I both got a call about us being approved for a loan. At the time, I was on my way out of town and my husband was working and couldn't talk. When I was able to call this so called Ryan Harris back, he called me right back after each and every time that I called him. He was very helpful and seemed to be legit. We needed the money so bad, I just fell for his scam and knew that he had to be legit! Well, he faxed me all kinds of paperwork and loan documents. I read over them carefully, signed them and faxed all back. He had told me upfront that this was a "secured" loan, but since I was having to pay upfront fees, we wouldn't have a payment until February.

Keep in mind, I had to send this money to him by MONEYGRAM. I sent him 691.00 on one occasion. I was supposed to have this money wired into my banking acct. within 5 minutes. Yeah right! He never called me back until the next day late afternoon. He said that he had been out of the office sick and I accused him of being a con artist then. He called after hours, so I thought that maybe I was jumping the gun and he really was legit. After he apologizes several times, he then informs me that my loan wasn't funded because HE made a mistake and I hadn't sent in enough money. He asked me to send $300.05 more!! I did like an idiot! Like I said, I was desperate! Needless to say, I have not heard back from him since. I have contacted authorities and they are checking into this for me. He has really gotten me in a terrible bind! I hope someone out there can help me!! If you have been a victim, contact me!! Let's put these people behind bars!!!
