Liberty Investment Group LIBERTY INVESTMENT GROUP-BEWARE!!NO LOAN! I WAS TAKEN-SENT MONEY TO CANADA Orlando Florida
I was looking on the Internet for a possible loan. I saw the website for a fast loan online. I knew that my credit score was not what it needed to be for a bank loan. I was working hard to pay off my debts. John Wagner, Senior Loan Consultant ext. 381 called me on Saturday afternoon and proposed a loan agreement with me. He said the contract was made and he just needed to verify my social security number. I told him that I had read a lot of stories about scams and money that was to be sent to Canada. He said that I had been approved for a loan of $15,000.00. The only thing that I needed to do was to send 5 payments to the lender in the amount of $1,758.85. This would ensure the lender that I was able to come up with my first five payments. My first payment would not be due on the loan until August 1, 2008.
The commitment letter looked real. John Wagner was real nice and it did sound too good to be true. I am a teacher and I should have known better to be taken in by such a scheme. John Wagner called me after I faxed the committment letter back to him and he said he would tell me who I needed to make out the MoneyGram to. Right before sending off the money to MARY SAWYER in Canada for $1,785.00. That should have been another RED FLAG! He told me that they were a reputtable company and had been in business for 14 years.
After sending the MoneyGram to Canada, I had to call him with the reference number. He said the lender had already approved my loan because he had spoken with them. He also congratulated me and told me to expect money in my bank account by 5:00 today. About 2:45, I received a call from John's boss-Michael West. He was very rude to me and he said the lender had a problem after reviewing my loan again. He told me that I needed to send in another 5 payments in the amount of $1,750.00. I told him that I did not have it and that I would not be sending it. I asked for my money back and he said that I would not receive a refund until the lender's monthly billing cycle. He said that would not take place until March 10th.
I cannot believe how fast they got my money but I have to wait to get my own money back. Somehow all of the things that I read on the internet were plain to see. I was definately taken in by Liberty Investment Group. I hope that no one else will make the same mistake that I did. It seems to me that they are preying on easy targets and people that are in need of a loan. John's boss, Michael West, ext. 173 was really rude to me. He said that he was not the one looking for a loan on the Internet. He was on the receiving end.
I will definately let you know if I receive my refund. This is doubtful. Be aware and open your eyes to this type of business practice. If something seems too good to be true-it definately is. Even on the MoneyGram-it said if you are sending money to receive a loan-Contact the authorities because it is illegal. In the US and Canada it is illegal to pay for a loan upfront.
I will do my best to contact the authorities because they now have my bank account information, copy of mydrivers license and my social security number. This will also be monitored. The Federal Trade Commission needs to know. I wish I would have listened to Tnasio from Menifee, CA. The report was made on 2-8-08. I will not rest until justice is served. I hope they can sleep well knowing what they have done.

I agree with the Consumer Comment. We need to stop them. They know just how to talk with people. They have hurt way too many people and they try to make us feel guilty. John Wagner said he was through with me. I never received a check in the mail and I know that I never will. Anyone that wants to help me get justice from them---please send me a comment and I will get in touch with you. You need to let me know. I keep reading all of the horror stories. The message on their phone now just says Goodbye when you call it. The website is suspended and Michael West said that I helped ruin their business. I am afraid it is the other way around..they keep ruining our lives. HELP ME! We need justice and we need our money back. Don't let anyone else send any more money to Canada by Moneygrams at Wal-Mart. Please help me.

MICHAEL WEST/JOHN WAGNER NEVER SENT REFUND AS PROMISED!

I was waiting until the 10th of March today for my refund from the so-called lender's billing cycle. I never received it. I called Michael West and John Wagner and they said that I would get it today. John Wagner said he was finished with me. John Wagner was so nice at first and could not wait to get his hands on my information. Michael West was the one that always had to tell the bad news about not getting the loan and needing more money. I really thought that there would be a chance at getting the $1,800.00 back that was sent to the lender in Canada. I am very sorry but it looks like they have moved their scam operation and everyone that has filed a rip off report and sent money to them; you will more than likely not get it back. I did not and I have waited since February 14th. They ruined my Valentines Day and they will have to pay it back because the authorities are involved in it now. Please do not wait like I have because you will not get it. It was a scam and it is against the law to pay upfront for any loan. Everyone needs to do what they can now and work at stopping them from hurting other families. May God Bless everyone that has fallen victum to them. Don't wait like I did. Their number is not working and the webiste has moved. HELP ME STOP THEM!!!!!
