ROBYN KESSEL - RAWLIFF - GARRISON INSURANCE GROUP FRAUDULENT LOAN COMPANY. TAKES INSURANCE DEPOSIT FOR AN APPROVED LOAN ripoff NEW YORK New York
WELL, LOOKS LIKE I AM THE LATEST VICTIM OF ROBYN KESSEL AND RAWLIFF INC. I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME!! I APPLIED ONLINE FOR A LOAN IN DEC 2005 THROUGH A WEBSITE CALLED AMERICAN GENERAL FINANCE SERVICES. THEY DIRECTED ME TO A LOAN APPLICATION. I DIDNT HEAR BACK FROM ANYONE UNTIL RECENTLY.
AN EMAIL APPEARED FROM ROBYN. IT SAID SHE WAS REVIEWING MY APPLICATION AND WOULD CONTACT ME SHORTLY BY PHONE. SHE DID IN FACT CALL ME AND LEFT A MESSAGE SAYING THEY WERE ABLE TO APPROVE ME FOR A LOAN OF $10,000 AT 7.5% APR FOR 48 MONTHS. IT WAS A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE, AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO BE APPROVED FOR SUCH GREAT TERMS ANYWHERE ELSE. SHE SAID SHE WOULD EMAIL ME A CONTRACT THAT I WOULD NEED TO SIGN AND FAX BACK TO HER. INCLUDING A COPY OF MY ID, SOCIAL SECURITY CARD, AND PAYSTUB. I WOULD ALSO HAVE TO WIRE TRANSFER $990 TO ANOTHER COMPANY TO PAY FOR INSURANCE ON THE LOAN, IN CASE ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO ME, AND I COULD NOT PAY THE LOAN BACK.
MY FRIEND DID THE WIRE TRANSFER TO A PERSON IN CANADA. ROBYN SAID THE LOAN AMOUNT WOULD BE DIRECT DEPOSITED INTO MY BANK ACCT WITHIN 12 HOURS OF THE WIRE TRANSFER. THAT WAS ON THURSDAY, IT IS NOW SATURDAY, AND NO DEPOSIT WAS MADE. SHE HAS NOT CALLED ME SINCE THEY HAVE RECEIVED THE $990. I CALLED HER AND LEFT MESSAGES, AND SO FAR, NO RETURN CALL.
MY FRIEND TOLD ME IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SCAM, SO I WENT ONLINE TO DO SOME RESEARCH (SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE DONE FIRST!!), I THEN FOUND THIS SITE. MT HEART SANK WHEN I READ THE OTHER STATEMENTS FROM PEOPLE SHE HAS ALSO SCAMMED. I AM FREAKING OUT NOW, I WAS COUNTING ON THE DEPOSIT OF THE MONEY, I OWE MY FRIEND $1000 FOR THE INSURANCE, I WAS EXPECTING TO BUY A VEHICLE WITH THIS LOAN, I JUST GAVE SOMEONE ALL MY PRIVATE INFORMATION. I AM EXPECTING NOW TO BE NOT ONLY A VICTIM OF LOAN FRAUD, BUT ALSO IDENTITY THEFT.
THE NUMBER TO CALL HER WAS AN 800 NUMBER, BUT WHEN SHE CALLED ME, THE NUMBER WAS LISTED AS "PRIVATE" ON MY CALLER ID, OR A NUMBER FROM FLORIDA. I HAVE SINCE TRIED TO CALL THESE NUMBERS, BUT THEY ARE EITHER DISCONNECTED OR BUSY. THIS MUST BE ONE OF THOSE CANADIAN SCAMS ON AMERICANS.

These women change their names like people change their underwear!! The name of the lady who called yesterday wanting me to send more money was Connie Sailor or Taylor. Cindy Holsman is who she transferred me to in Refunds. Cindy told me her extension was 702, but when I call it, the name on the voicemail is "Lauren". All of their extensions start with 7. Notice how it asks for you to say your name before you can speak with them?? Thats so they can screen who is calling them!! So they can get their stories straight. All of the women's voices sound the same to me. Bastards! WHAT GOES AROUND, COME AROUND.....They WILL get theirs one day!!!!!!!!

Same old story.........

Well, today I actually heard from these people. This time a different lady called me. Well, that is after I got a nasty email back from Robyn telling me I need to address her differently, and dont make her regret helping me. (Robyn dont worry, I regret it enough for the both of us!!) So this new lady tells calls 4 times. Leaves messages 3 out of the 4 times. She claims its an urgent matter I contact her. My acct has been referred to her..blah blah blah. On one of the messages, she must have screwed up her "script" because she stumbled over her words, paused a second, said "S**T!", and then hung up.
So when I call, she tells me the same story I have read on here by the other victims. She claims Robyn has been suspended, and that she cannot discuss her situation with me any farther, but she will be "dealt with"....yeah right. Then she tells me that Robyn misinformed me, I was to send $1800 to them in order to get my loan. So I now need to send them another $900. I told her YEAH RIGHT, just give me my money back. She claims that is possible, but it takes 6-8 weeks (just like the others were told).
She offers to have someone in "refunds" call me back. I say NO transfer me. So another chick answers the phone and tells me she will send me the proper documents. I will need to sign them and mail them back. Once they receive it, they will send me a check for my $990. I am thinking Well I wont hold my breath. I asked her if sh could just fax it to me. She said NO, it must be on the "original documents"....sure, but they can fax me a LOAN AGREEMENT??!! Whatever.
I just cant believe how these people LIE and it doesnt bother them. Everything they told me today I KNEW they were gonna say....by reading it here. How predictable they are! Anyways, I am thinking the reason they have us send the money in incriments is because of MoneyGram. When I talked to MoneyGram about this, they said any transaction $1000 and over, automatically gets held and investigated. This makes total sense. The crooks are purposely keeping it UNDER $1000 so they dont raise any red flags with MoneyGram. Then they make up some lame excuse about employees misinforming clients.
Do they really think we are dumb enough to send them money TWICE?? I guess they do. They were pretty convincing originally. But the anticipation of receiving the loan is how they get you. Once they give you some BS their lies seem more obvious.
I will keep this updated to let you all know how it turns out. My friend who wired the money to them will also keep bugging them. We are not going to give up! We are also filing police reports. I am also going to call the FTC, FBI, and anyone else who will listen. I also wrote a letter to Dateline to hopefully get this scam broadcasted and the American public becomes aware that this kind of thing is happening. Thanks for reading!

Well, after searching this website some more, I am realizing this scam is much larger than I could have ever imagined. I have learned that Rawliff also goes by UNITED CAPITAL SERVICES and ALLIED FINANCIAL FUTURE. The name of the person in Canada my friend wired the money to is VICTOR SELLGAS. We are in the process of finding an attorney, and I will file complaints with BBB, FTC, FBI, my local Police, and anyone else who will listen! We need to get the word out on this scam!!
