Complaint Review: National Trust Group

Something told me not to trust these people. But I fell right in their trap.

They informed a friend of mine that he was approved for a loan. ($25,000)

If he put up 5 months worth of payments. He contacted me to put up the payments, informing me that he would be funded in 3 hours once the payments are received. ($1980) I wired the money to Westbury Alberta Canada, to a Gina Woolard. Then they informed him because of his credit that he had to put up another 5 months, of course 3 hours once the payments are received. ($1980) I did not want to put up that money, but it seemed honest. The website looked very elaborate. I spoke with Jeff Doyle and Terry Flemming. I began researching the company, I could not find anything so I sent the money. They then told me that the accounting department did not place the money transfer fee on the paperwork, so his company would pay the fee. ($1200) They could pay the fee at the end of December. Of course I could pay the fee and it would be refunded to me at the end of December. I asked if I could get my money back when could it be returned, of course at the end of December. There were several red flags that should have prevented me from sending the money.

#1 Never send money to get a loan.
#2 Never send money out of the country. (Unless you really trust the individual)
This is very important!
There are escrow accounts that protect from things like this
When you wire money - your throwing money away.

This is my new rules - that I will stick to from now on. People are just not trust worthy. I could kick myself many times, but I will learn from this.

I expect these people to resurface again. Under new names, new website and everything. Asking people to send money to get a loan. I am so hurt by this situation that I'm going to fight back. I want to start a website that tracks business transactions. I want people to check this website, if a company or business person is not listed, then no business transactions are done. The reason I feel this is the appropriate course is because people are so untrustworthy. They are liars. They take your money in a heartbeat. A customer should never have this problem, they are showing their trust by bringing their money to the table. But the so called business does not bring the product or service. The website should show a link to look up all public records such as corporations, state links, tax information, transactions, etc.

I will build such a website.

For those who want to support the fight of distrust. Call me (803) 917-3460.
