Lender Network Plus Financial Group $5,000 Bad Credit Loan is a SCAM!!! Torrance, California
Company stated they found a lender for a $5,000 loan. Terms of the agreement was I needed to pay the 1st month and last month's payment totaling $462.08. I felt like it was too good to be true but was so excited because we really needed the money to help with my son's college tuition. The loan office Kevin Newman insisted that I send the payment via Western Uniton because of "fraudelent acct activity" when I asekd why they couldn't just take the funds from my bank acct directly. I was then transferred to the "Finance Dept" and spoke with "David". David gave me the Western Union information but advised to send the money to a Marc Mabiala in Ontario Canada. I asked why would I send it to a person and not a business. The response was the person is "licensed and bonded and works for the lender who will be releasing the funds in 5 business hours from the payment". Something told me this is not right so I went on "Google" and typed in the name and thank goodness someone had filed a ripoff report. Otherwise we would have been out of money that we didn't have to spend in the first place. Thanks goodness for Ripoff Report. I hope someone else is saved from making a mistake like this.

Reporting this is not going to do much good. The scammers insist on Western Union and Moneygram transfers because there is no paper trail for authorities to follow. For communications, they use throwaway cell phones that stop working after a few weeks. The main complication is that the scam crosses an international border. The FBI or any other U.S. law enforcement agency can't do a thing about a Canadian scammer unless they put together a joint task force with Canadian authorities (don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen).
If it makes you feel better, report it to every agency you can think of. Just don't expect anything to come of it.

Hi KJ:
I was scammed by this same company. But did you report them to anyone else besides Ripoff Report? I actually reported them to my state's attorney. I also filed an online complaint with this governmental agency - go to http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx This is considered a crime and they need to be stopped. Although you did not send them any money, they still need to be reported because they tried to rip you off.
Thanks, Kyra
