Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I had applied for a loan online and was contacted by Dave Mitchell who said he was a representative of Hillside Financil Group and that I was approved for a loan of 14,000. I only had to send 1700 dollars along with the loan application and my ID because it was a secured loan. And that these payments would go towards my first four months of monthly payment. I sent the money western union and awaited for my loan to be deposited into by bank account.

I was then contacted the next day by a Mark Hamilton saying my lender wanted another 1700 due to my being a high risk applicant. I sent the money via Western Union to a Steve Brown in Canada the next day I was contacted by a Mark Hamilton a few hours later saying my lender had backed of the contract and that this had never happened before. That he was going to sue them on my behalf, but he found another lender willing to loan me 28,000 I just had to come up the deposit of 3400 to go along with the other 3400 I had sent and it would go toward my monthly payments.

I sent the money to a Sandra Devers in Canada. The next day there was no money in my account I called Mark and he said the Canadian Government was holding my money and that I had to pay 5600 a precentage of the loan for them to release it into the United States. I payed the money and sent it again to Sandra Devers via money gram to Canada.

Another week had pasted and by this time it had been three weeks since all of this had started and still no money. I told Mark I was done I had no more money to send. I wanted my money back. He said it would take three weeks to get my money back and gave me the date of July 14th. I had bills to pay. He assured me the money would be in my account Monday morning since it was Friday. On Monday I was then told by Mark the the government was charging a business tax and that i had to send another 2800. At this point I had sent do much money I felt stuck and was really believing that I was going to get my money if I just paided this last tax. I only had 2500 and so i sent that via money gram to Canada as well. He (Mark) said he would apply a credit for the rest.

The last tranaction I sent was on 6/1/09 and as 6/4/09 the phone number has been disconnected and as of 6/6/09 the website has been taken down. On 6/6/09 I contacted the Orlando, Flordia police department and was told there was nothing they could do because the address wasn't real and actual crime was comitted in Canada. So in less than a month I have lost 15,000 to these people.

A month ago when I first started the loan application I googled and there were no negative post about Hillside Financial. I even called the Better Buisness Bureau and they had nothing on them, and them I came along these posted. I just wish I had seen these sooner
