Complaint Review: National Financial Funding - Novi Michigan

This company put an ad on Craigslist offering a home business where you can easily earn over $100,000 by closing loans (that banks won't work with) with companies that they will market you too...so all the potential customers call you directly.  The "company" says that they will send out 5000 postcards containing your contact information and that they are willing to pay you a percentage of the loan amount plus a small residual of every credit card swiped from each company that you close a loan with (since part of their agreement to lending companies money is that they become the company's new processing company.)

Unfortunately, you can't contact this company directly by phone.  You need to leave a message and they will call you back at their convenience, but they tell you to contact them through emails and they will get back to you.

DO NOT do business with this company. They have no intention of signing you up to work for them. Before you even train, they insist that you send them a casier's check for $1,488 as a deposit for the training and materials they plan to send you.  They end up emailing you a seven page training manual, which only has about three real pages of information in it, and your online training consists of a 15 question quiz which you can take over and over again.  They guarantee that when you close your first loan they will give you back your deposit plus your commission.  But, they stop training you when it's time for them to supply you with potential customers.  Their excuse for not sending me potential customers was that they were setting up an "auto dialer" (see their email below) and asked me to be patient.  That was almost two months ago and they've never fufilled this part of the deal.

Besides that, after they receive your cashier's check for $1,488.00, they basically stop returning your calls and answering emails.  I called the Novi Police Dept. and filed a report against them, and had an officer go to their office and question them.  While the officer (Officer Woodley) did get some information from them and opened up my case (Case #10-52142), he got no settlement to working with me or returning my deposit.  And, his feelings were that this company moved their location regularly and were pretty "sleezy."  I then spoke with Detective Gilmore of the Novi Police Dept.  He didn't know if there was a case here because he only saw two complaints on this website and no one, besides me, ever opened up a case with the Novi Police Dept. before me. He said that he'd talk with the DA's office eventually to see if there's an amount of time a company gets to finishing up training and if they don't do it by then, then this could be considered an official SCAM.  When I asked the detective when he would talk with the DA, he said that he was working on a "death" case and didn't know.  I haven't spoken with him in over two weeks and am not sure what to do at this point.

Don't talk or work with this company (National Financial Funding)....they have other names too.  Look at the two other rip off reports on this site to get more information but all three of us were treated the same way...WE WERE SCAMMED!  I wish I would have found the other two reports before I was suckered into sending in my deposit...because I don't think the police or the DA will get involved...and since I haven't heard from the company in over a month (check that, they did send me a quick email after the police officer made a visit there and they promised to call me and explain the delay, which they didn't.)  Here's the only communication I've received from them recently:
