Yeah..... I got a call from Peter Douglas this morning. Made sure to give him a piece of my mind. He hasn't called back. Do your research!

Common sense dude.

Seriously? How can this be construed as a scam? Well let's see...Chris has sent them almost 10,000 and not seen a dime of his loan. I was supposed to Western Union them money yesterday but didn't & still haven't heard a word from them. Do you want more examples? The upfront money is wired into an account who knows where. I mean come on unless you work for the company how could you not see this is a scam after reading these stories? I understand how easy it is to get caught up because I did the same thing. When you need the money and these dirtbags are willing to give it to you (even if you have less than perfect credit as Peter says) you get excited at the fact that someone is willing to help you out. THIS IS A SCAM. Thank god I saw Chris' post. Chris if you read this I hope you can somehow recover your money & these a**holes pay for what they've done to you & other innocent victims.

i talked to the same guy (peter douglas) and he just faxed me the paperwork for an "approved loan" of $6000, which he told me i had to put up $1000 as a down payment....im sure glad i found site im not gonna give them 1 cent......and jenn, even tho you signed the form if you didnt send it or any money you should be fine; and if they have your bank info (or whatever) you can always close out your account and just open a different one.......hope that helps......you guys definitely helped me out with this site and posts.

Douglas is his last name.......Peter Douglas

I just got a fax from Richard Hamel who said I was approved for $5000 and that I needed 2 pay my 1st 4 months payment $885.76 I'm glad I found this site.
They called me from 1-877-437-0343 x525

I have received a call from David Pearson claiming the same thing. Secured loan for $5000, with $900 security deposit, from Barnes and Bennett Financial. I asked him to email the terms and he said the server was down and had to fax it to me instead. I forgot about it until he called again later and I was again skeptical and asked about an email he informed me their company does not email their clients. I asked for a physical address, he gave me an address in Miami, Fl and I looked it up while on the phone with him. There was no Barnes and Bennett Financial located there. Barnes and Bennett Financial is not a real company this is a scam. Please be careful out there anyone asking for money to secure a loan is most likely dishonest.

Just read your entry. He gave me the same address only suite 802, he sounded very uncertain when reading his address.

You ALL need to call and file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office. They have a comsumer protection unit that investigates such "businesses"


www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov

That link of course was to Illinois AG. Submit to your local AGO

Mine was almost exactly the same Chris. How stupid I feel.  even borrowed money from someone to send to them....and two mortgage payments. Now I'm in fear of losing my house due to not sending them the payment....because I sent them in for the "colateral" payments to these heartless people.
I would like to ask all of you to file with the AG's office in Florida...I'm hoping they can stop these monsters before some else is hit as hard as we were. Don't know what to do know or where to turn.

Well they must be relly living the high life with your money chris and ours. we did the same thing. let's team up and destroy them. is anybody in???

I just filed with the FLorida AG and the one from my home state. Don't know what else to do.

MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN RIPPED OFF AS WELL. THE COMPANY IS A SCAM.NO ONE WILL RETURN PHONE CALLS,EACH ONE OF THEM WILL DIE AND GO STRAIGHT TO HELL.I HAVE CONTACTED A LAWYER IN MY STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.

what did your lawyer said?

THIS IS A SCAM THAT GOT ME TWICE, I SENT 900 DOLLARS TWICE.  DO NOT SEND THEY ANY MONEY!!!!!!!!!

The same thing happened to us. We sent the money. Then  they said the lender needed more money, so we sent more money. Then the day it was supposed to be in our account, well it wasnt so I called Greg. He said the lender backed out, but they could get us a loan for $10,000 but need more money. I said we are already out $1600 and that was all the money we had, which was both of our car payments, food money and bill money. We are now further in debt due to this then we had been before applying for the loan. I have now learned to not apply for loans online anymore, and never send money. We had to wire it to Canada. I have called BBB and they told me to file complaint on their web, plus they gave me numbers for other places in FL to call and file complaints.
