First American Investment Group William Sullivan and First American Investment Ruining Lives Ripoff Minneapolis Minnesota
I was contacted by William Sullivan from First American Investment Group, 866 856 7035 ext. 134, May 15, 2006. We talked for quite awhile, and convinced me that I would get a $5000 loan.
I indicated I needed the loan to tide me over for the summer. I am a teacher and just started a new position. Having gone through a traumatic divorce, which left me and my 5 children in a bad way, I fell for the scam.
We faxed documents back and forth, and I even had a legal friend of mine look at the documents. It looked like a promissory agreement.
I was then told to send $469.00 to a Jose Feroro in Huston Texas for a downpayment on the loan. Needless to say, I did as instructed. Western Union charged a $51 fee for the transaction.
Willaim Sullivan, not his real name, informed
me that I would receive the loan amount, via direct deposit within 24-48 hours.
I received "0" dollars.
Phone calls, messages and pages did nothing.
I never heard from William Sullivan again.
I contacted phonebusters and made a report.
I contacted the Minnesota States Attorney, and they will shut this organization down.
Advise: Tell your bank about this, if you sent, like I did, a voided check to this scam. Also, contact credit reporting agencies, and have them put a fraud alert on your file.
Note: EASYTEL is the phone service this organization uses to pretend they are legit.
I e-mailed the CEO of the company to inform him that the service is being used by a scam artist.
I have contacts in Minnesota and they are already looking to find the so called Willaim Sullivan and any other members of First Amercian Investment Group.
I will not rest until these scammers are put out of business forever.

I was ripped off by this same Mr. William Sullivan

I was ripped off by this same Mr. William Sullivan. I also talked to a Mr. Shawn Thomas who I might add was just Mr. Sullivan trying to disguise his voice. This EASYTEL number is based in Canada and the Western Union we had to send was to a lender in Canada. My advice on getting him to contact you is leave him a message stating you will send more money to the lender as long as you get your funds let him know you are willing to send whatever is needed to get the money promised. Once speaking to Mr. Thomas I was informed that the lender pulled my loan and that I could send more money or wait for a refund. I was appalled that he thought I would actually send more money to them. But my husband called and left Mr. Sullivan a message saying he would send the additional money needed and Mr Sullivan called us back immediately. What a crock. Also look into a company called First National Credit Group out of Michigan. I believe this was Mr. Sullivan using different names. This company is out of business but the old phone number is yep you guessed it and EASYTEL number. Same goes for the First American out of WI. Keep in contact with me I would love to bring these guys down. I'm pregnant with our fourth child and was going to use this loan to get ahead on our mortgage. We sent in almost $800 all that we had and he has put us close to foreclosure with this scam. He must pay. I have made reports with the BBB and they are investigating but when I called my local Attorney General they said it was out of their jurisdiction because it was in Canada. Julie New Haven, IN
