Complaint Review: Suffield Lending

I filled out a loan request on the computer with Konica Referrals & Lending Inc. Got a email from Shawn H.McMullen, Loan Broker, Suffield Lending 36 Wyckoff Ave, Wyckoff, NJ  07481 He stated that they had received my application for loan and I was approved for $27,000.00. to contact him at 1-855-554-5208 to arrange for release of the loan.  I called and agreed with the offer pending my review.  A contract was sent by Shawn via email with direction where to sign and naming additional Id's needed.

On Jan12 we were told where to fax the contract and papers which we did. Next he called all papers were correct and now he needed the down payment of $2,235.00 to be sent Western Union and what ever it cost us to send would be refunded along with our downpaymment on July i,2011 when we were to make our first payment. We were to call him when we got to the Western Union and he would inform us where and to who to send it. We were told by Shawn as soon as the downpayment was received the loan amount would be deposited in our bank. The down payment plus the $175.fee was sent and paid.

We advised Shawn by phone as he requested and he told us soon at he confirmed Billy A Graham received the money in Woodhaven NY he would deposit our loan and call us.  We did not get a call and when we checked no money had been deposited in our account as was agreed.  The next day we received a call from Taylor saying he was now in charge of our loan request and he had to have another $2,235.00  We told him we did not have anymore money to give and he told us without the extra money our loan would not be approved. We said just refund our money then and he told us it would take 30 days.

 I called Shawn and he said he coulld not help us because Taylor was his Boss.
  A couple days later I wrote a letter and sent it to Mr Tim Hawkins CEO of Suffield Lending and sent it to the Address they showed on the contract and their other email to us.

  Three days later we received a phone call from a Gentelman stating he had received my letter and what would I like for him to do with it. He explained this was his private residence and that he has nothing to do with Suffield Lending. He had received 3 or 4 other mails the same way so he was going to call the Wyckoff Police Dept. A while later we got a call from Det Mike Muso, Wyckoff Police Dept  confirming the private resident and informed us we were being scamed. I told him to open and read my letter. Later another call came from the Detective and he told us the number we faxed thing to is located in Boston Mass. Suffield Lending is not registered in Wyckoff NJ. 

He gave us some idea as to reporting the scam but said he could not help us further as we were in Florida. Now when we call the tx # it says  the # is not available call back in a few hours. I get no replys to my email also. and after three email to Konica Referrals and Lending which is in NY also no replys to my request for their help. Its now been 38 days and still no refund I guess Suffield will feel good that they suceeded in scaming a 80 year old.  But they best know if they are caught I will press charges and Testify.
