Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I am following up with the PA state attorney generals office in a few days. I was promised a loan for $5000 if I put up $1050 for the loan. The investor was from Canada (Ontario) and when the loan was due, they said I needed another $1000 for Insurance and credit rating. I was promised the money but we did not put the extra $1000 down because we felt it was a scam. The agent I was working with was Dennis Rivers and his manager was Mark Hamilton. I called about my refund on July 13, but there is no office or person to speak with. I am a student and needed the money plus I have a family and money is tight. I am also going to call the Orlando Police to see if they can find these people and I am obtaining an attorney. They need to pay us back plus damages to our credit and means of living. Email me if you would like to participate and I will do my best to get something done.

I'm sorry for all of you but your money is LONG GONE. This is a variance of the "advanced fee" loan scam that has been going on for decades. You can learn about this scam at the FTC website www.ftc.gov You should report this scam, including any documentation you have to the FBI and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Both agencies have websites where you can file a complaint and seek assistance.

I had a similar experience with this company. In May they contacted me saying that i was approved for a $15,000 loan and should call back. I contacted them and the name of my main contact at the time was Dave Mitchell. He said that the money would be approved if I would send $1488.00 through Western Union. I needed the m,pney so i sent it through Western Union and the next day they call;ed and said that the lender needed another $1488.00 as they had problems, so like a fool I sent some more. I went on vacation thinking that the money would be there, and got a call while I was down in Florida that the companty backed out and that They could refund my money in three weeks, or give me a better offer on a $30,000 loan. I told them to stick it and then went on with my life. After O got back they contacted me again with the same request. I then sent another paynment like a fool. And the smae thing happened. I then told them no more, and I expected a refund. the refund day and time went and no money. I am now out over $5,000 and feeling stupid. I plan to go after them with all guns loaded, and then some.

I have contacted the FBI about this company as well as the federal Consumer agency. I was contacted by Dave Mitchel indicating he had a loan for me for 10,000.00 dollars and i needed to send 6 months worth of payments up front because it was a private lender. They faxed me the contract and it all looked ligit so my wife sent the money to canida and the next day a Mark Hamilton called and said they needed more money to insure the loan. I told him I thought it was a scam and wanted my money back he said he couldnt refund the money for three weeks which was July 14, 2009. when i called them on July 13, I got a answer machine that said Goodbye. I have the contract and receipt of the people i sent the money too. I also have both Dave Mitchel and Mark Hamilton on recording. I would like to get these people stopped and punished for what they have done.

To all individuals who sent money to Canada for the 2 loan companies: You all need to look at your MoneyGram receipts and call MoneyGram and give them the names of the recievers of your stolen funds. They have, and will put "blocks" on the names to prevent recieving and sending of these misappropriated funds to these dirty bastards!!!! Look on the BBB web-site and find the Canadian-based firm "Phonebusters", and ask or find out about any known scams involving the names of the MoneyGram recievers, or Cedarview Lending and Hillside Financial Latest report indicates they got someone for over $5000.00 of invested money for a $14,000.00 loan. They gotta be stopped!!!! Some how, some way!!!! Flatbedangel Johnstown NY

everyone needs to contact royal canadian police, and then contact the FBI. up until now all money sent by people scammed by this company was sent to canada. there has been a consumer comment posted that money was recently sent within the united states to NY, NY. also, i found that they have been opterating under another fake company name, cederview lending group. there are ripoff reports on this lending group, too.

Please let me know how to help you. I have been taken advantage of by this company. I was due a refund today 7/9/09 and it is not there. I tried to contact them but the number is not working all it says is "goodbye". I did contact them last week and actually spoke with Mark Hamilton and he stated everything was on track for my refund. I'm in to get my money back and damages for the harm they caused me.
