Triple Crown Financial Sevices I applied online for a loan, I was contacted by "Agent" Eric Miller, who told me I was approved for a $5000.00 loan. Well I ended up sending them $1600.00 I find out the "lender" wants more money, well I asked for a refund and its been 35 days. Help! ripoff Miami Florida
Triple Crown Financial services is the worst experience I have ever had. My first attempt at getting a personal loan. Eric Miller, called me and told me I was approved for a $5000.00 loan, it came out later that I had to pay a security deposit of 25% of $1250.00.
Well after signing the contract and faxing them the contract and sending $800.00 western union to the "lender" in Canada, the money was supposed to be in the account by the next morning. Next morning NO MONEY. We call and find out the lender wants a insurance payment, so I take the last bit of funds I have and western union another $800.00 to them.
I talked on April 1rst to Tim Daly the "supervisor" and was told the funds had been released and would show up Monday morning. Well no money on monday. I call back on monday and find out the lender wanted another $800.00, I was broke, by this time my wife and I are upset, and start thinking this is just not legitimate.
We ask for a refund on April 3rd and still have not got it. We were told 15-30 days. They refuse to take my calls or return any of my calls. I talked to 3 different people who all gave me different days as to what day the refund went out. I cant get a straight answer from anyone, or even get through to them at all now. The 3 people I spoke with were Eric Miller agent, Tim Daly supervisor and "Jake" customer service. If there is any help out there please help us.
We can't let them get away with doing this to people, most people work hard for their money, and don't deserve to be scammed like this.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your money is simply gone. This advance fee loan scam is prevalent, preying on those in financial need. Western Union will not refund your money as they view themselves as only a money transfer service. Once you complete the transaction the money is simply gone. Western Union was sued, by the a state atty general for this, the result was that they paid some fines and agreed to "educate" their customers - slap on the hand. An investigation shows "More than $113 million was swindled in 2002 from U.S. residents through wire transfer fraud to Canada alone, according to a survey conducted by investigators in seven states." The address for this supposed loan business comes back to a 2 story office building in Miami with an attorney and a CPA firm listed several years back. It was purchased in 2005 by a development company that is planning a hotel tower. It is likely vacant at this time. The toll free number comes back to a US/Canada assigment with no listing shown. It is possible to purchase a personal, anonymous toll free number that is unlisted. The telephone call likely went directly to Canada, the scammer picked up your money in Canada so although you can report it to the FBI it will only be added to thousands of reports on the same scam. The problem with sending money Western Union is that often they don't even require picture I.D. to pick up the money as the fee was already paid and they simply don't care - they will tell you I.D. is required but I have personally picked up money with no I.D. in the past. Additionally, the money you send can be picked up at any Western Union office worldwide.

Contact the FBI

Try to play along with the 'lenders'. Contact the FBI and tell them you have been a victim of the 'Advance Fee Loan Scam', which you have by the way... and see if they will help you get your money back. Western Union can tell you at which location they picked up the money, if they used the same location both times, then it's likely they will a third time too. See if the Feds will send someone out there to watch the W.U. office, and catch these bastards. Paying for a loan is illegal. You will not get a refund in any way, shape or form. The phone will probably be disconnected soon, and you won't be able to contact them. You've been scammed, pure and simple. You would've had better luck taking that $2000 and playing poker or blackjack! Your odds would've been 100% better than getting this non-existent loan.
