Hawkins Group ripoff loan scams Halifax Nova Scotia Canada
I was contacted by this company when I put a search for someone to lend our company money. They contacted me and said we were approved for a $65,000.00 business loan.
Then they asked for $3,200.00 for an insurance to secure the loan. I told them we did not have that much money and they came back with if you can send $1,600.00 we'll release half the loan. I said, still no money, so they said they talked to the private lender and he said to send $600.00 and he'd release $10,000.00.
I send the money and no loan. I called them and they said the representative did not follow procedures and she was repramanded. I then had another representative. She said I had to send another $800.00 and then the whole loan would be release because of all the trouble. So I did and no loan.
Now when I call they hand up, put me on hold and never come back, or just don't even answer the phone. I have faxed them also. When I have gotten to talk to someone before they put me on hold they state they are not sure why it didn't transfer and they'd check into it and get back to me. And still no loan and no answers.

i have been informed to let people know that if you are a victim of the Hawkins Group ltd to file complaints with the Federal Trades Commision, www.ftc.gov, the BBB in canada, also through www.ic3.gov, the more complaints they have the more they will investigate and hunt these people down. Also contact your states Attorney General and contact moneygram/western union and file a report with them. Also contact the halifax, Nova Scotia Fraud dept and file a report.
