Complaint Review: Richmond Investment Groups

Richmond Investment Groups was exactly what we were looking for; having no credit, my husband was accepted for a $15,000 loan. We were asked to send a money gram to a Jeffrey Franklin in Syosset, NY in the amount of $1,157.92. This alone caused alarm but David Spencer told me that he was the contact person for the company we got the loan from.

After barely scraping that much we sent it out. A day after they recieved this money, Cabin Peters called and said we needed to pay the insurance due to my husband's lack of credit... another $1,270!

We needed time to scrape this much more and he was kind enough to give us an extension. However, a few days before the due date of the extension he started calling every day, several times a day. Once he called at 5:30 am on a Saturday.

I started questioning him and he got angry with me and quit calling the day before the due date. We had the money and were ready to send it out only to find the numbers we were given do not work. Also the homepage for Richmond Investment Groups has no contact information.

I searched extensively online for a bad report on this "company" before we sent the first payment out. It turns out that we sent the payment a few days before the first complaint was filed against these people. I'm grateful that we checked again and am grateful for this site... THANK YOU.

Now, what do I do from here? Could someone please give me more information for the FBI stuff? I am clueless as to what I should do but would like to do everything I can to prevent this from happening to anyone else. We have five kids and it was hard to deny them things because we were trying to save for these payments. They need to pay!
