CHARTER LENDING CROUP TOOK MY SECURED DEPOSIT THAT THEY HAD ME SEND TO CANADA THROUGH MONEYGRAM...THEY ARE RIP OFFS TOOK $924.00 OF MINE AT CHRISTMAS TIME AND WAS PROMISED A $5,000 DOLLAR LOAN NEVER RECIEVED COLUMBIA Maryland
I was contacted by CHarter Lending Group about 2 weeks after I applied for a loan through them. My account rep, Diane Bower who contacted me stated that I had been approved for a $5,000 dollar secured loan and had to provide them with $914.00 which was 6 months worth of payments and I would have $5,000.00 deposited into my checking account 24 hours after the funds I sent were to them. I sent my money to Canada through MoneyGram at Walmart. The next day I had Diane Bower's supervisior contact me and he stated that they are requesting more money to be sent, another $914.00 to purchase insurance for the loan, and if I could not provide them the additional money then they could not send me my money back until January 2, 2009. After that conversation with the supervisior I went into a panic attack, and I am diagnoised with a Panic Disorder and I am taking medication for, along with Depression and ADD. I was at work and a few of my co-workers had contacted this Supervisior and told him what was going on and he still continued to be rude and not care that I was going to be rushed to the ER. I lost 2 days of work and now my credit card bills are 1-month behind and I almost had my car repo'ed due to not having my funds sent back to me. Today is January 2nd, 2009 and still my money has not been deposited back into my bank account as promised by Mr. Larry Houston the Supervisior. I have saved all the voicemails that had been left from this man and the Account Rep Diane Bower, from Charter Lending Group. These people are part of a scam and I will be building a case against these people through the court and will be getting my money back.

But you may want to cut your losses now. This is a common scam and is reported on this site at least a few times per day. The name of the company is fictitious, as are the names of the people you spoke with. They operate using throwaway cell phones and have you send cash by untraceable means to Canada. The problems of jurisdiction (crossing international borders) makes it unlikely that any law enforcement agency is going to catch up with them any time soon. It will require a joint effort by both U.S. and Canadian law enforcement to find the scammers. Your best bet would be to contact the FBI and the FTC. The FTC website for complaints of this kind is www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov.
