Brimley Financial ServicesBrimley Financial Group Trying to get ahead only to be knocked out!!! Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55402Minneapolis Minnesota
On July 21, 2009 I was contacted by Adam from Brimley Financial Group and was told that I was approved for a $5000 loan. Needing to catch up on some bills after returning to school I was over joyed by this news! He told me the only problem was that because of my bad credit the lender needed me to secure my loan with a $800 deposit that would cover my first five months payments. I agreed to this and sent a money gram to Stacy Gordon in Canada. I called back and gave Adam my reference number. In less than twenty minutes the money was picked up. He told me that someone in customer service would call me the next day to let me know when my money would be direct deposited and to set up my account and monthly payment plan. The next day Marcus Rimley from customer service calls me and says that the lender wants an additional deposit because of my credit. Like a dummy I sent them more money! Of course my money was not deposited and I requested a refund. Marcus tells me that the refund will be processed and mailed out on August 7th. It August 11th and I still do not have my money!! I've tried to contact them several times without success!!! DO NOT TRUST THESE BASTARDS!!!! Takara Bellwood, Illinois

Not really a loan company

Unfortunately, you have not been dealing with an actual loan company. You've been sending untraceable Moneygrams to scammers in Canada. There never was a loan and it's very unlikely that you'll ever see your cash again.
This scam is commonly known as an "advance fee loan scam". Legit lenders do not require you to pay a large advance fee or "insurance" in order to obtain a loan. Since the scammers are in Canada, where U.S. law enforcement has no jurisdiction, it's not likely that they'll be caught anytime soon.
For more info on advance fee loan scams and to report a scam, check the FTC website at :
