Complaint Review: Lotus Financial Services - Victoria Freeman

Cali,
I read your complaint and I was scamed by the same person Allison Atwell (Atwood) she gave my both names. I sent the money to Carison Clark In burnaby B.C and the money order was picked up in toronto canada. Something needs to be done with these people we need to get the word out not all people will check this website out.

Hello All,
I also have some experience with this company and luckily checked them out before sending any money.

I found that there is a company called Lotus Financial Services in the UK. This one in Atlanta basically copied their website and is ripping people off. I've been getting contacted to "close" my loan, naturally I haven't responded.

Here is all the information I have in case its helpful to you all. When I found them they were a .com address and now it is reopened under lotusfinancialservices.net.

The person who has contacted me as "loan officer" goes by Alison Atwell.

The email address is a.atwell@lotusfinancialservices.net

The IP Address from the email is [199.185.220.220]

Phone numbers are Toll: 1-800-930-7952 ext 711
Fax: (404)-348-4719

The "insurance provider" for my loan was to be Blue Mountain Insurance. The website given me, www.bluemountainins.com only said "Welcome to Provo Insurance", no other information. Spelling out the word insurance.com gives you a nice looking website with loan insurance info, but NO contact information. I could find no evidence of a company with this name operating ANYWHERE.

I also have the "loan documents" if that would help.

Sorry to everyone who's money was taken. I hope this information is helpful nonetheless!

John,

I also contacted this so called company Lotus Financal, I was told I was approved for the loan amount I was appling for which is 65000.00, I was also asked the same questions about having a co-signer or if I would perfer the insurance which in my case it is 1900.00. They also contacted me about 5 times this week , the lender is trying to close so they would like me to fax my info back and also to western union my insurance premium. She also told me my lender would be Hahn Blankenship, and the address is in Victoria BC, Canada. she also said I would be given a loan packet with all of my loan info.
I have been tring to get info from Canada but having no Luck, I don't want to send anything else to this co. until I know that They are liget.

I am a victim from Lotus Financial services. They are a complete ripoff and fraudulent business. I was scammed out of $1577.00. It was the stupidest thing ive ever done but at the time it seemed like such a great idea. they now have my money and all my personal info. I requested for a consolidation loan and was approved for $20000.00.

Never recieved the loan but did pay them my insurance fee of 1577.00 via moneygram. The lady's name was victoria freeman, who i seriously will throw out a window if i ever find her. i contacted tim meeks from the cobbs county sherrifs dept, also ryland, who owns the building where they say they are located and said no one is in that suite and hasnt been for a while but had numerous phonecalls about them.

I contacted the FBI and several of other places, (Phonebusters, BBB, etc) I did some investigation myself and the phonenumber they would always call mne from was 416 786 9048. This number came from toronto canada and that is where i assume they are at. I am disappointed in myself but hopefully someone will find these people. if not i will

Laura,

It's up to you who you give your information to, however Tim Meeks at the Atlanta Sheriff's Office is aware of the various complaints against Lotus Financial. Lotus Financial is posing as a company in order to steal people's information.

Also, per the owner of the building at 2780 Bert Adams Rd., Lotus Financial Services have not been in business there nor is currently in business at this address. The building doesn't even have a 4th Floor. Why would a company change their phone number numerous times without knowledge of their so-called clients?

Well, if you would have done your homework by contacting the proper authorities then you would know where I got 23 other people scammed from. Just call the numbers listed on my prior posts and you will see. Collateral????? Yeah right! Do you know of anyone who has been approved and received a loan from this company? If so, let me know.

Vera:
I have recently applied and have been contacted by Lotus Financial. You never clearly stated if your identity was indeed stolen. Did Lotus Financial create bank accounts, credit accounts etc in your name??
Also, you state that you and 23 other people have been "scammed" by this company. Where did the other 23 people come from and how did you find out about them?
Did you report them to Tim Meeks at the police dept? If not, how did you find out about him trying to resolve this matter. Also, how did you find out about the building owner at the address Lotus is using?
I was asked to send my last 2 paystubs, my drivers license and social security card info plus I was informed that I would have to pay a BROKER'S FEE of $1260.81. I was informed by Marsha Clark that this broker's fee was to cover the fee that the broker who is funding my loan charges. I was told that this fee needed to be paid up front and then my loan funds can be either direct deposited or fed-ex'ed to my door and I'd have to sign for it. I still have some other questions for this lady about this loan before I do anything.
To me, it raised a red flag because if I am applying with them because I have not so good credit, how can they grant me a loan with no collateral in the blink of an eye. I recently applied for a car loan and was denied. A car loan that uses my new vehicle for collateral and I was denied. That's where the red flag was raised about Lotus. How can they give me a loan for more money than my car loan was going to be for and not need collateral? If this company is indeed a fraud I'm not sure if it would be identity theft or not but it may be where they use loan sharks for these loans. I'm not sure about anyone else, but I am not about to put my life up for collateral on a loan.

No, I didn't send them any money, however after receiving mine and 23 other people's information, they have changed their phone numbers. I have a new number for them and I left a message, however I know that they will not return the call.

I left a message for Tim Meeks at the Atlanta Sheriff's Office at (770) 499-4678 because he's aware that this company is a fraud and is aware that all calls to the number that they have listed have been routed to various cell phones. Also, per the owner of the building (Ryland Scott (770) 432-7000) at 2780 Bert Adams Rd., said that Lotus Financial Services have not been in business there nor is currently in business at this address. This so-called company is guilty of stealing innocent people's information.

I have contacted the federal trade commission giving them all information pertaining to this so called company and all of the phone numbers and email addresses that I have. I have also contacted all credit bureaus, the social security office and my bank to assure that they have no access to my personal information.

Vera,

Identity theft means that this company used your personal information to set up fraudulent bank accounts, credit accounts, etc. Has Lotus actually done that? The simple act of taking your personal information does not constitute "identity theft", which is a serious crime.

Also, it is unclear from your posting whether you actually sent this company $1,100. Did you?

And finally, where can we find the company's Website?
