I took the necessary steps to secure the loan. The $ did not show up in my account so I contacted David Bauer. he advised me that someone was trying to contact me regarding this status. I received a phone call from Lincoln Fidelity Group & was advised that I would need to come up with an additional 1300.00.

i advised that I could not do this so I am getting a full refund but will not be in my account until February 22, 2007.

Stay away from this company. It is a scam.

Unfortunanetly Lincoln Fidelty Group got me for 1,830.00$ to, and also said I would be getting a refund on 2-22-07 and guess what today is the 22nd and no money refunded. They have disconnected thier phone and pulled thier website. I was wondering if you had the same # as I do for them 800-622-3509 and who you spoke with. The first guy was Roger Blake ext 481 and from then on the a**hole John Mackey. Do you remember the names of the people you spoke w/ there? I'm sorry but you won't get your money back when you call the 800 # a recording comes on saying " thank you for calling goodbye". I still have the fax # though and the BBB is investigating who that is hooked up to, so if you need I can give it to you. You can also read my report I did on this site just type lincoln fidelty group in and I actually did an interview about this company w/ our local news station yesterday, you can view it @ keloland.com under the heading Loan Scam Hurts SD Womans Wallet. I'm really sorry this happened to you also. I don't know if the BBB has told you but they don't even exsit in Pittsburgh, (obviously thier in Canada)there is no 429 Forbes Ave, thier website was bought in Jan of 07 but they won't release any info. These are the websites I filed complaints with, i'm sure you have tried some of them: Pittsburgh BBB, your states BBB office, FTC.gov, FCC.gov, phonebusters and they will give you a link for the Royal Canadian Police, your states Attorney Generals office, consumeraffairs, ontact MoneyGram, the FBI internet crimes website www.fbic3.gov. Hope some off these help, these jerks need to be stopped!

It is illegal to charge money upfront before issuing a loan. Google "Advance Fee Loan" and read what it says on the FTC website -- usually the first search hit. How did this so-called "Lincoln Fidelity" get your money? No legitimate business REQUIRES a money transfer via Western Union. If you sent a check or VISA payment, you will want to close those accounts and let your bank know. Do not hold your breath waiting for a refund. They are playing for time so they can finish off any other outstanding scams before moving on to other phone numbers and fake company names. File a report today ic3.gov, ftc.gov, and you may want to talk to local police. You've been robbed.
