First Union Financial Group RIPOFF SCAM ARTISTS!!! ripoff New York New York
I'm writing in regards to the First Union Financial Group. The reason I am writing is because I just recently got ripped off by a similar company out of Pennsylvania, The Spherion Group. Basically I recently applied online to get a loan to consolidate some bills. I first got ripped off by The Spherion Group by wiring them money ($1635) in order to process my loan and I never ended up seeing the loan I was "approved" for. So, this First Union Financial Group contacted me ("Unknown" came up on the caller ID). A woman named Chelsea Hogan spoke with me saying I was approved for a $25,000 loan and all I would have to do is pay $2000 up front and that would cover the first 6 months of payments. After that, my monthly cost would be $351.77 at 8% for 96 months (8 years). She said all I had to do was fax her a copy of my drivers license, a copy of my social security card, and 2 recent paycheck stubs and they will process my loan within 6-12 hours and have the money deposited into my account. She said she would fax or email me the loan documents as soon as I faxed her my information. When I argued and said that I would rather have her email me the loan documents first before I faxed her all my info, she hesitated then said "can you fax me your information first before I send you the loan documents?". I said no and I would rather see the documents first before I sent anything. She immediately said "Thank you for your time and have a nice day," then hung up the phone because I wouldn't send my info first. Being recently ripped off, I can tell this is a scam.

I also fell for this Loan. Except they did not make me send them my info first. I applied on line and two days later they called to tell me I had been aproved. I sent them 616.64 western union. They called and said that I need to release the fund but when I called Western Union they had already picked up the funds. I have been trying all day to get a hold of someone at the company and was unable to get a straight answer from someone. The weird thing is I have spoken to at least 5 diffrent people. I finally called the FBI and got them invloved. I am a mother of three and the money I sent them is now gone. I have no way to feed my infant, toddler and six year old. My electric is about to get turned off and my landlord said if I don't have rent by the 1st she is going to start the evication process. My lease company to my care said if I dont pay them by the 31st they will come in get my truck. I people can get away with this is beyond me. Please dont fall for this scam. I still have not received any money.
