Lawrence Park Financial Services - Steven Tillman and his office manager Cheated me out of $ 2160.00. This was my truck note and rent. It was my tax refund. new york, New York
I was contacted by Steven Tillman of Lawrence Park Financial Services for a loan approval. this was Jan 28th .Their web site was legit looking. I was told I qualified for a $50,000 loan. I had to pay a collateral of 5089.00 through western union. this was to be sent to Canada. Well I only had $ 2000. It was 160 dollars to send it.I was told that an outside investor would put the rest up towards the collateral. Well I was called back the next day and said they could not do that. they wanted the rest of the collateral from me. Well I sure did not have it. I sent all the money i had in my bank to them- with the assurance that i would have the 50 grand. So they said they would refund my 2160.Well they said it would take 1 month to get my 2160 back to me this was due to their billing cycle, which did make since. Now i called them as to when to expect my money and their # is disconnected and i am HOT. This was some of my income tax and the rest my truck note. If i knew this was a scam company I would have put my money into savings.Now I am sitting here with no heat, because i have no money to put propane in the tank. If anyone knows how I can get my money back,Please.....let me know. i am desperate.

Your going to wanna contact Western Union Fraud Deptarment they can open a claim on the money you sent. My local Police also didn't give me a Police Report which I am not happy about but I am going to go back and talk to them about it again and tell them that New York Fraud needs a report to file with them which is true anyways. Good Luck This guys will slip up along the way. With enough reports on these names which are probably fake names anyways but then can do some sort of survielence at where they picked up the money etc.. But like I said call Western Union that was probably the biggest help I had my local police did jack sh*t besides take my info down and said they would file it which i highly doubt was done

My local police said since no official crime has been committed I could not file a police report. The officer said that it was a civil matter and i would have to contact a lawyer. Well a lawyer would probably cost more than the 2160 that I lost. So i guess I am out of the 2160. That makes me so d..n made
I do not know what else I can do without the police report. i don't even think the FBI I pick this up. I am desperate... anyone else from Georgia that has been scammed by this company and got some type of results please let me know .
That money could have been put into my savings.
I hope Steven Tillman and Doug Fisher gets whats coming to them. I hope they get caught and get put under the jail.That's where pieces of crap belong.

They also have my bank account # , and a copy of my drivers license.These are scumbags. To take money from people who desperately need a loan.
I was hoping to get a loan. My rental place is not in very good shape and I wanted to try to get out before i have to buy propane for the winter. How could people be so cruel.
I hope to heck they get whats coming to them-Its so wrong to treat people who are trying to get on their feet this way.It will take two years to get that much money back into my bank account- Because i only make 9 dollars and hour.
That 2160 would have lasted me quite a while- bought my groceries and propane for the gas tank and make a truck payment.
I had to borrow money to pay my truck because of these people.
