Complaint Review: STERLING Investment

I just want to inform everyone of this company before they get taken advantage of! Luckily for me I found this site before I actually sent out the money. Someone has just recently wrote a report on this site regarding Sterling Investment management by the name of ROBERTA. So i would like to Thank her! For she just saved me 700 dollars!


My situation was much like Roberta's. I filed for a loan on-line and came across a site for Sterling Investment Management. Within days of completing the appliction I was contacted my a Marcy Young of the company. She in formed that I had been approved for a $5500 dollar loan. She then proceeded to inform me that before I received the funds from the loan I must send 4 months worth of payments for collateral in the total amount of $679.28. She sent an acceptance loan documentation to my email that had to be signed and sent back via fax along with a copy of my lisence and proof of income from my bank. Once she received those documents they would then inform me of whom to send the funds to via Western Union or Moneygram.They would then wire my loan amount into my checking account. I followed her instructions completely, but was a little warry of the situation.

The next day I called the company back to speak with marcy, but she was in "MEETINGS" all day. Another women told me to send the money to a CHRISTOPHER COOMBS who was located in Malton, CANADA. The whole situation sounded fishy. When I called moneygram they told me that the company sounded fraudulent and not to send the funds w/out checking thoroughly about the company.

I then came home and proceeded to call Sterling National again for the second time today. This time I got a male. I stressed to him my concern for sending funds to someone I don't know. He said because of the state of the economy that their investors were in Canada. He tried to make me comfortable in the situation by saying he's worked there for seven years and they are a very legitimate company. Yet, when I asked him for the email address for the company that He WORKED for, he didnt know.

Couple of things to look out for. I looked up the location that was on my documents 701 Lynhaven PKWY, which was spelled wrong by the way. On the search site I used I found the adress @ a mall located in virginia. None of the stores located had the STERLING NATIONAL LENDERS contact info. I also called 411 to find a telephone number for them, but couldn't find one. Lastly the contact address on the site and on the loan documents didn't match. I even called my bank to see if they had heard of such a Bank. They said NO!


This is wrong to do to people, and this FAKE lender needs to be stopped! I called phone busters located in Canada to report these people! Please keep yourself protected! Best wishes...
