If Paul Franklin or Russ Hardy contacts you...........Hang up the phone.

I applied for a loan from this company and was approved. I too was asked to send 896.00 by money gram to secure the loan to a women by the name of Debbie Sloan in Brunswick Canada. Like an idiot and not knowing how these things work. I sent this money and have heard nothing from this company nor was the 5000.00 plus the cost that Money Gram charges $ 14.16 in my account within 24 hours like promised over and over again. I expressed my concerns with this company before I sent my money but they are heartless and could care less about you.

I have contacted Money Gram ( not their fault of course) and the location that this money was received. I have also contacted the Scam / Fraud Department with the FBI and the Farmington, Connecticut police department, the Better Business Bureau as well as many others.

I may never get my money back from these people I was told that I would receive my refund. But I guess only time will tell huh?

These people are in a foreign country. US law enforcement cannot touch them. Cut your loses and give it up. There is no hope of ever seeing ANY of your money again.

UPDATE on Freedom 66 Financial

#3Author of original report

Thu, June 26, 2008

Those whom have been scamed by this company should do the following I was scammed by this company and this is what I have done. 06-26-08 I will not stop until something is done..... I contacted freedom 66 financial and spoke to Lisa, she informed me that Mike Moosley was the President I expressed to her that I wanted my money back she told me my check was mailed on June 20, 2008. BULL CRAP but whatever. I questioned Lisa about the company that she worked for after LIEING to her telling her I was interested in applying for a loan. She informed me that this is a BBB accredited company *WHICH IS NOT* you can either click this or copy and paste it not sure which will work. GO HERE http://ct.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=29&bbb=0111&firm=87057695 if this link doesnt work go to bbb.com and do a search from there. I ask you all to do as I done and file a compaint and once you file this complaint PLEASE do not leave it at that .. CALL them everyday and email them everyday until something is done. I questioned Lisa about the company being a legitimate company, she yet once again informed me that they were a legitimate company and was licensed in the state of Connecticut and you have to be a licensed broker to even talk to someone about a loan and told me that all their loan officer have licenses. I checked on that too.... PAUL FRANKLIN, RUSSELL HARDY or RUSS HARDY, MIKE MOOSLEY, or MICHAEL MOOSLEY nor does the company FREEDOM 66 FINANCIAL has a license in the state of Connecticut, GO HERE http://www.ct.gov/dob/cwp/view.asp?a=2239&Q=298138&dobNAV_GID=1659&dobNav=%7C I also called the number 1-800-831-7225 and filed a complaint that there was people acting as brokers and a loan company when in fact they are not either of those. The gentleman that I spoke with searched all names involved and the company and NOTHING in the state of CONNECTICUT is there. I suggest you do the same. Its a shame that after and only after they scam me I find out these things.. BUT i guess thats how it goes sometimes. I was treated like an idiot by Lisa I spoke with her 8 times this morning before posting this update and she ACTED shocked when I told her I was on the BBB website, CT license board search site, as well as this site. I TOLD her to come to this site and read what we were saying about her company... I was placed on hold for several minutes. When she returned to the line she just could not believe that these things were being said about this company that has "been in business for 30 years with no complaints" I informed her that she was telling lies trying to accredit that company and it was making her look like an idiot. I also informed her of the Farmington, CT investigator that has no idea where this address is for their "COMPANY" this investigator has lived there since he was 2 now 67 and he has tried to find this company and CANT, As well as the FBI agents name and number, the local police dept here and their name and number... I am not sure if this all will do any good....... BUT I WILL NOT STOP until SOMETHING is done to these people....... I WILL STOP AT NOTHING, I will do the same to them as they done to us... STOPPED AT NOTHING TO FRAUD us and I will STOP AT NOTHING to bring them down. The people i call daily will do something or get sick of me calling them about this company and in turn do something to SHUT ME UP!! I hope this helps you all...

I am the person that filed the report about this company. Although this site makes this company looks legit I done some research of my own. The website identity has not yet been verified. Most forums on this site are hidden in the page info and not only that but the email address attached to this site are [email protected] and [email protected]. Their page was created on Tuesday, May 20, 2008 6:14:13 PM and their page is due to expire on Sunday, June 29, 2008 8:27:03 AM AS OF June 25, 2008@6;06pm. When I checked it yesterday it was scheduled to expire on June 28, 2008. Still to this date I have not been able to reach any one from this company. The last time I spoke with someone I was told that my refund was sent in the mail to my address I HAVE YET TO SEE THIS ""CHECK"" The only reason I was even interested in this loan was to help my son. I have a 9 year old that is going blind and I lost my job and had to settle for part time work so that i could take him to dr's. He needs brain surgery and that was what this loan was for and NOW I have hurt my family by putting my trust in these people and this is gotten me nowhere and I still cant pay for this surgery.. I HOPE THESE PEOPLE ARE PROUD of themselves.

I have taken further actions to catch these people in their tracks the investigator that I have contacted in my home town suggested that I inform anyone that may fall victim of these people to go to the FBI website at http://www.fbi.gov/ and click on the forth option on the left hand of the screen INTERNET CRIME COMPLAINT CENTER (IC3) and file a formal complaint. If complaints aren't filed NOTHING CAN BE DONE to these people so that others can be protected. I have heard nothing from this company and I doubt I ever will.

I have contact money gram and given them the name of the person that I sent my money to, they have issued a fraud alert on this name and all other names associated with the scam that was run on me. I have also filled a police report with my local police department which was sent to the investigations department of the farmington, ct police department. I contacted all credit bureaus and informed them to FLAG my credit, I contacted the bank and closed my account, I canceled my debit card. I have formal requested a refund of my money which totals 910.16 to be exact. I can not get the people that was associated with my loan to come to the phone when I call them. I finally contacted RUSS HARDY and he informed me that I will recieve my money back in the mail... LETS see if that actually happens. If i get that check which I doubt... I will almost bet that the check bounces or a stop payment is put on it... So I will not be taking that check if i were to receive it to my bank.

First off, I am sorry you were taken by a scam such as this. However, your ability take responsiblity for the situation says to me that you will learn and grow. That may be painful now but it is refreshing. So many people want to blame those that took advantage of them. Yes, the acts of those scam artists are deplorable but like P.T. Barnum said... Tell your story to everyone you can...you will make a difference! N-
