Orizon Financial Group in Kingston Jamaica Laura Pattie- president/CEO SCAM-they took $ 755.00 Kingston Jamaica
I was on the internet looking for a loan to pay off some old debt. Mrs. Amy Peterson called me that afternoon at my home and said to me that she was able to provide the funding I was looking for and she was going to email me the application I needed to fill out and then sign and send it back. I did just that. the next day I received a call from Mr. Anderson telling me that I needed to send $325.00 to them for this was the fee for thier Government to have the money wired into the United States. He gave me the information I needed to send it western Union and was I sent the wire to call him to verify the merchant # on the Western Union slip. I did that. He then proceeded to tell me that my funds would be in my bank account on Thursday July 23, 2009. I never received my funds. I called about a week later, Mr. Anderson then tells me that my loan has been declined and I would have to send an additional $ 400.00 in order for my loan to be approved. I asked him to send me something in writing in order for me to do this. He was very persistant in telling me that It was guaranteed once I did this. So, the fool that I am I did it. I have been waiting since July 29th 2009 for my refund (which in his words would only take 30 days for my refund to arrive) well it is now Oct 29,2009 and I have not received a thing from them. I have tried calling the company and the phones have been disconneted and Mr. Anderson's phone number is still working but do not know if it his number any more.

You are a victim of the Advance Fee Loan Scam. It is one of the more popular scams on the Internet these days. Real lenders do not require advance fees for loans.
What actually happened is that scammers with throwaway cell phones got you to send them cash via Western Union (making it untraceable) in another country. You'll not be hearing from Mr. Anderson or anyone else. They've got what they wanted and moved on.
