I can not believe that I fell for this. I am a single mother of one. Its not like we don't have it hard enough as it is and we are struggling for all we are worth. I work hard, pay my taxes and take care of things that need to be taken care of. The last thing I need is for my entire weekly salary to be stolen from me.
WORLD PLUS MFG, INVESTORS PLUS, AND BRADSHAW AFFILIATES are within the same thing. They are all Jamaican and they are out to rip hard working people off. (They state they have offices in Jamaica, UK, Colorado and the Cayman Islands.)
Here I am looking for a little financial assistance and after about a month a lady (who claims her name to be) "Sonya" says that I have been approved for a $5,000.00 loan. I had no collateral, no co-signer and my only other alternative was to pay them $600.00 for their insurance policy. I told her I didn't have that kind of money so she stated that I can pay $350.00 now and the remainder later. All I had to do was wire the money via Western Union to a lady named "MARLENE ALLEN".
When "Marlene" picks the money up "the cash loan" will be released and I will have it in my banking account by 5:00 pm the next day. Now I had been on line most of the day and couldn't find anything negative about these people so I thought it was okay.
She had e-mailed me this word document from an e-mail address of
[email protected] So I looked up this comany... nothing. All I found was a false newspaper article that this company had submitted in Vermont.
Okay, well I went ahead and sent the money. I REALLY needed this loan. (I know I know it was stupid) After I did, was when I began to find more things about these rip off artists. They took me for my entire payroll check.
After I realized I was scammed I contacted the "Corporate Office" in Colorado and of course they state I have not been scammed. He (MR. MICHAEL RYAN)gave me another phone number to call in Jamaica after I complained they scammed me.
Today (10-20-05) I finally got them to admitt they scammed me. They state they are going to refund my money. Yeah right! And I am going to hold my breath too!
All the addresses I was given are invalid, they state their Jamaican office is at 25 Constant Spring Road, where in fact that is the address that the Western Union they have you send the money to is. Also, after extensive reseach the phone numbers they give you are cell phone numbers. As for the 877.355.2031 phone number for Bradshaw Affiliates when they don't answer, a voice mail comes on stating the company name is "McFarland & Assosciates" in which Mr. Ryan has no clue what that company is.
So please, if anyone gets a call from these people, any of them DO NOT EVER SEND THEM ANY MONEY! It's a scam and I finally got them to admitt to it.
