Woodhaven Financial Group Scam, Prey on the Poor, Stole my MONEY and wanted me to send more, Con Artist, Don't Do It!!! Providence, Rhode Island
I went online 8/10/2011 to find a loan to help pay my bills , since I recently lost my job. I found Woodhaven Financial Group, filled out the application online and was approved for $5000. William called me and went over the details and told me due to my credit I would have to pay an upfront security deposit of $780.00. But that would cover my payments till Febuary 2012. I told him I didn't have the money, but that I may be able to get it from my parents in a week by 8/19/2011. He told me that would be fine. On 8/18/2011 I talked to William again an told him I would be sending the money, he told me to go to Wal-Mart get a Green dot card and load the money and call him back with the activation #. I did do this and he promised me my money would be deposited on 8/19/2011 by 2pm EST, but to call in the morning to get the tracking #. On 8/19/11 morning I got a call from Michael he tells me that the Lender is requiring Insurance Coverage Option of $1000 and my loan would increase to $7000. I could not get the loan now unless I sent them another $1000 and that could not be refunded my $780. I'm a struggling 21 year old mother with a 9 month old out on my own trying to make it in this economy. Don't do business with this company they are just going to steal your money!

You are a victim of what is known as the advanced fee loan scam. You can read more about this and other similar scams at the FTC website www.ftc.gov
There is no loan and there really isn't any way to catch these scum because they use disposable cell phones, change websites and email addresses, and constantly move about. Most appear to operate out of Canada.
One common denominator is that the victim was searching ON LINE for a loan.
The chances of you getting your money back are just about zero. All you can do is report it to the FBI via the IC3 website (www.ic3.gov) and warn others by sharing your experience on the web.
