Phony loan scam!!!!!! They said I was approved for a 10,000 loan all I had to do was pay the first three payments which came to 1387.64 I wonder what they needed the 64 cents for anyway they have no business license or any BBB paperwork and there full of it . You have to go to Walmart and send the money by way of Money Gram. Ms. Helen Ward said to call her when I got there and she would tell me who to send it to. My wife almost fell for it. This is the sad part my wife has 5 children and she trying so hard to start a business to support her family and give them an education. These people don't give a [***] who they hurt or scam. Well they didn't get her money. She asked me to take a look and see if it was la-git it didn't take long to figure this one out these people call them Benton Financial Group.

I got a call from the same place, same lady and same information.  She had the nerve to call me back and tell me that she was turning my information over to her manager because I was slandering her company.  I can't believe the nerve of Helen Ward to have to gall to call me back about my posting this information online.  She said their company received an alert about my post and that I was going to me liable for slander.  Yeah whatever.  Apparently they have been doing this scam under other business names.  The same details apply - sending months of payments in advance.  I am so glad that I googled them.  She is so stupid - you can't scam people as easily as in the past with the internet and postings like this.  Someone needs to find these people and arrest them and plaster their faces online so we can see what they look like.

I recieved the same call Identical to those above saying I was approved for a loan and would need to put down 5 months of my payments in advance in order to secure the loan.  Actually I recieved to calls from to totally different people claiming to be from the same company.  The horror you think to do to people like that who try to take other people's hard earned money especially when they have a family to support!

I received a similar call today June 1, 2009 but from Debbie Franks same phone number but different name and the company name changed also to Best In Financial. I do a lot on line to catch scammers so others don't have to fall prey to these people, only problem when you get rid of some more pop up. You as the consumer have to always be on guard.

Tips: check out the website with places like betterwhois.com see who set it up or what date the website went live, go to address.com do a reverse phone number check if it is not available most times it is a scam, reputable company have name and phone number on there site and it's there in phone search. Most loan company's do not need liquid collateral that's why you need the loan right because you need money if you had 3,4,5 months payment then you might not need the loan. Always be on guard, on my caller ID when they called me back the number is bogus, pay close attention to the little things.

I received the same phone call yesterday, June 2, 2009 from "Debbie Franks". The phone numbers are the same but the company name was spelled out ot me as "Beston Financial".

I knew when she stated the "website was under construction" and that my rate was 8.5% (with my credit history), that this was a scam and too good to be true!

I am a Christian and these people have been placed at the top of my prayer request list. I'm gonna turn them over to the hands of God for his raft/revenge, in protection of HIS people, is far greater than you or I can even phantom. The Bible says, "Touch NOT mine ANNOINTED and do my prophet NO HARM! They messed with the wrong one, but right one, this time!

God, you handle these evil doer's and workers of iniquity!!!

Hi, my name is Britney Webster. I recieved a call from this number on May 29,2009. I was at work when I recieved the call, so when I got off I   checked my voicemail and the lady said that her name was Helen Ward and that I needed to call her back because she had some great news for me and she needed to talk to me directly. So, I returned her call that day at around 5:00 p.m. She told me that I had been approved for a 5,000 dollar loan and that all I needed to do is send them 800.00 dollars by June 12,2009. So, I started my journey to finding out how I was gonna get the money because I really needed that 5000.00 dollars to get myself together. So I started to pond things, I borrowed money, and every me I had in my account. So, I finally came up with the 800.00 but I had to put a lot of things on the on the line. I wired the money on June 3,2009 and they told me that my money wouldnt be in my account til Thursday June 4,2009 because I wired it so late otherwise it would have been in there in three to four hours.  So, I wired the money and I was just waiting on them to wire the money into my account. So on thursday at about 11:00 a.m. I got a call from a lady named Rosemary Taylor that sounded a whole lot like Helen Ward. She told me that Helen Ward was in a meeting and that she was returning her calls. So she went on to tell me that something happened with some type of fraud and 100,000 dollars came up missing so their lender checked everyone's credit again and she gave me two options she said that either I would have to send them 640.00 more dollars then they would release my funds into my account or I could get a refund. So I went off. Then I calmed down and told her that I would think this over. So on Friday after doing deep research on this that I should have done in the first place. I called them back and tried to speak to Helen Ward but she would never get back on the phone. So the Rosemary Taylor lady kept calling me back talking bout that she was returning Helen Wards calls. So I told her that I was going with the second option of getting my refund. Then she gone tell me that it would take three to four weeks because she had to send me a mutual release contract to sign for my own money. So I told her to email it to me like they did the other contract. The whole time  we talked the conversation was being recorded and she kept telling me that it was gone take a while for me to get that contract. So I called her  back all friday and saturday and I got no answer and no returned call. Dont do it please because I feel so bad and down but  I am not going to quit until I when I am not letting this go. THIS IS A SCAM PLEASE LISTEN!!!! THEY NEED TO BE IN JAIL!!!

I got a call from the same people.  Today is June 8.  Only today they are Hillsboro Financial and the woman's name was Angela Roberts.  Same exact phone number though.  It was a 6K loan and they wanted six months up front.  I told her what to do with it.  Do people fall for stuff like that?

I almost did the same thing.  The company's name is now Bay Valley Financial and the woman's name is now Agatha Webber.  I have contacted the Office of the Attorney General in Nebraska where the office s allegedly located.  
After receivng the first call that I was accepted for a loan of $10,000 and all I needed to do was send the first five months by money wire I was excited but it did seem a little to good to be true.  Same iterest rate as one of the above listed postings 8.5%.  Anyway I called the BBB and the company was not registered with them.  I called Agatha back and she explained that was because anthother company had used their name fraudulently.  I received the loan documents and spoke with an attorney.  He suggested I call the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance.  I did and they were not registered there either.  I googled the company and found nothing.  After I googled the phone number, I found this site and took a suggestion to check out the company's website on "betterwhois.com".  It showed the site was originated on the same day I received the first call.  It is registered to Frank Bay and his address is in Toronto Canada. The phone number listed on betterwhois.com is a cell phone out of the same area if I remember correctly.  I am gathering all the information I can to send to the attorney general's office.  If anyone has any other information, please post it so these people can be stopped.  It is devestating enough to desparetly need the money and even more so to be prayed on by suck beasts'.

SORRY, I forgot to list the phone numbers I received the calls from.  402-953-2992 and their 800 is 1-866-403-7350.

I got a call from 866-403-7350, from Agatha Webber. She told me the last time I called that her name was Donna. I have given all the info. I have to FTC and reported them to IC3.gov and State Attorney's office. Do not believe these people. They have never been a member of the BBB, they are also under fed investigation for fraud in 2 countries. DO NOT GIVE THEM A DIME. They are soon to be busted in the state they are actually calling from. They have live taps on their phones and should be under arrest very soon, according to authorities

I got my loan from them, i was skeptical, I had to send my first 6 months down which was $6598.00  I did it and received it without a problem. Perhaps you guys have that all mixed up!  I was working with Agatha!

Agatha Webber was the one who called me.  She left a message.  The number she called from was 3475622648.  The number had been changed only after about 15 minutes.  The numer on the email is 1-866-403-7350 Ext. 284.  I was told that I qualified for a $5000 loan and had to pay 5 months upfront.  I asked what I needed to do with that money.  I was told I needed to send a moneygram to the private investor.  I told her that is a scam then and she hung up.
