STANFORD FINANCIAL GROUP - DAVID OLIVER SCAM ARTISTS TAKE MONEY FROM INNOCENT PEOPLE CHARLESTON South Carolina
They contacted me to tell me that I was approve for a loan but I had to secure it by sending 6 months worth of payments before the funds would be sent to me.
After sending the first payment they contacted me with the fact that I had to send more money and more moeny which I did and never received any loan from them.
I have tried to call them the phone does not work I have faxed them requesting a refund and they have never answered me.
Be aware when applying for a loan of scams like this.

There never was a loan - the intent was steal as much money from you before you figured it out. Its easy to create realistic looking documents, that have not legal merit.
The Federal Trade Commission has info on this scam as well as many others Advance-Fee Loan Scams: Easy' Cash Offers Teach Hard Lessons

These scammers target people with low income/bad credit because they know in most cases they will not stop and check them out first.
You cannot check by company name because it changes constantly and they even steal the names of legitimate businesses.
