They did the same thing to us all. Good luck getting any Lawyers to help. My local police department never got back to us either. I hope someday the bastards get caught. I'll never do that again.

I am reading your story and it is the exact same thing as to what I am going through right now. I was guranteed the 5,000$, but they wanted a 900$ collateral payment first, the day I was to get my money I was contacted by a different individual saying the lender "re-assessed my account" and wanted another 900$ which I unfortunately sent to them, both by MoneyGram to Canada and a womans personal name. After I sent the 2nd MoneyGram John Mackey advised me he found a different lender for meand this loan would be for 10,000$ but they wanted another 900$ collateral payment, otherwise I could get a refund 3 weeks later and I would have to wait formy refund because it has to "coincide with the lenders pay period" They didn't identify themselves as Southfield though mine was Lincoln Fidelty Group out of Pittsburgh, PA which they don't even exist there. Here is some advice and links I went to to file complaints, I'm sure you have done some of these already. www.fcc.gov, www.fbic3.gov, contact your Attorney Generals Office as well as the one in Michigan, Phonebusters-www.phonebusters.com(800-495-8501), www.togoodtoobetrue.com, Royal Canadian Police-phonebusters.com will give you a link from thier site,and your local media. I actually had an interview with the a news station today, you can see the interview at www.keloland.com under "Internet Loan Scam Hits SD womans wallet". Hopefully this will help, Good Luck and from one to another i'm sorry this happened to you to.
