Complaint Review: Orizon Financial Group in Kingston Jamaica

In July 2009, I applied for a loan online for people with bad credit. I received a call from Meka Whitman at Orizon Financial. She states that I was approved for a loan for 6000.00 with a 9% interest rate. She indicated that I would need to send 600 to secure the loan. She emailed me the loan documents to me. She required that I send a copy of my drivers license, and bank information so they can wire the loan proceeds to my account. I wired the 600 to Dane Williams as requested and send a copy of my drivers license & bank information to the company. A few days later, I received a call from the infamous Mr. Anderson who stated that the company that was going to secure the loan backed out because of discrepancy with my credit report and he would find another lender. He stated that the other lender required that I send more funds so I did because I really needed the money to help my family out. The loan never came thru. Its now the middle of August 2009 and after repeated conversations with Mr. Anderson & Meka Whitman. They told me that the loan was no approved but I would need to pay a wiring fee. He made the sales pitch about the taxes. The loan never came thru. I requested for money to be returned to me and Mr. Anderson assured me that the funds would be returned to me in 30 days. Its has now been 30 days as of October 5, 2009 and no refund. The phone numbers listed 877-754-7499 & 876-853-3018 are now disconnected. I should have made a complaint on this website earlier so the others that have filed a report would not have been scammed. I have sent an email and made calls to the Embassy of Jamaica in DC for assistance but I'm not sure what they can do. Jamaica's financial system is complex. They have regulated and unregulated financial institutions. Some of the unregulated entities are legitimate a business and Orizon was not. Their loan docs and mannerism was professional and appeared to be legitimate. So I'm out of the money that I have sent. I'm in the process of taking steps to protect my identity.  The association of fraud has become synonymous with Jamaica.  Its a shame that they are taking advantage of the economic issues that American's face. Its all over the news about our banks that a failing and that people even with good credit can't even get a loan.
