Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I already was scammed by a company called Ventana Consolidation Group. My husband then gets an e-mail saying that he has been approved for a loan for $10000. Interest rate 6.5%. He has to send a collateral payment of $1,300 to a private lender in Canada. I believe these are the same people who were working with Ventana. Ventana's number, 866-944-8077 still exist but no one answers anymore. I had a lady by the name of Heather Thomason.

I called Elite and asked for Heather Thomason and the man said that she was with another company. I then called back and he said no one by that name works there. I called that number using *67. My husband then called back and said that he wanted to go through with the loan. The woman's name now is Carol Stewart.

She said that because of his credit that he would have to pay a collateral payment of $1300. I wish that I could send a dollar and have the FBI waiting for him in Canada so that these people could get caught. Because I sent money to Ventana, I already know that these people are scammers. Please do not send any money because once they get this money, you will not hear anything else from them. Please catch these people.

It is absolutely ILLEGAL to require a collateral payment, prepayments, or insurance as a condition of GRANTING consumer credit in the US. Check the FTC website for yourself. If they are requiring any of these types of prepayment, then they are indeed a scam or at the least, charging fees that are ILLEGAL in the US. RUN, don't walk, away from these folks.

They called me and asked if I had decided. I let them know about the ripoff report and they said they would issue a rebutttal. I also told them my attorney was looking over the documents; they said they had no problem with that. They did issue me a letter of guarantee yesterday after our talk. Virginia, no matter what is being said, thank you for your comments. If they are not real then the website should be down soon or we should receive a confirmation or rebuttal. Daphne

Furthermore, since you seem to know about it, I WAS looking for a loan, THANK YOU. Apparently, that's how YOU get to scam people. Luckily, I didn't get scammed with Elite

For the person who made the comment that I want you to pay for my stupidness, I not asking you for a dag on thing, I'm just keeping others from being scammed. With the attitude that you have towards this report, maybe you're the person who are involved in taking people's money but changed you name. You're good at that. Yes, you seem to know a lot about the types of loans and a lot about Canada. If you are the person, you will get caught, so just keep on commenting to this complaint because I will address each one of them. To the people who are looking for a loan, there are no loans in the United States that will require you to pay any type of money up front before getting a loan nor in Canada. Please check with the BBB where the company says they are from. If there is no report, it's not because no one has reported them, it's because they are not where they say they are. These people have several different names. So regardless of the statement that this person has made towards this complaint, please ignore, it's someone working with them. Beware!!!!!!!!!

Stupidity - pure and simple. its called an advance fee loan scam - and since you DID NOT BOTHER to check it out first - YOU LOST! If you were not looking for a loan - why would you assume that the "EMAIL" you received was at all legitimate? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING YOUR HEAD THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW TO QUESTION EVERYTHING YOU RECEIVE IN AN EMAIL. YOU PROBABLY FALL FOR PHISHING EMAILS ALL THE TIME AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT IDENTITY THEFT! For those of you who "claim" you cannot afford to lose money - should be far more concerned about scams - but no - you don't bother to check things out at all. Don't expect the rest of us to take up a collection on your behalf.

Cancer Patient trying to be scammed by this company

I am a cancer patient, but still working as a controller. This company actually called me and sent me the documents. I faxed the docs back. Then I started feeling uneasy. I saw your email today and just started going through these docs with a fine tooth comb. I Googled some of the persons who signed and they were with another company Chambers Investment. Then I begin to notice that different words were partially in capital letters and some were not. Just small things. I have written them and asked them how could they do this to people. I almost did it and even though I am going to find another way, I believe in the power or prayer. I have been praying about this and here is your report warning me. Thank you so much for this. Every little bit I can save will help me. But right now, I am very sick as well as depressed that someone would do such a thing.
