I was scammed by a company of MONETARY ASSISTANCE they claim to be part of the gov where they offer gov grants for a small fee down for the legal papers ( now I know there is no FEE required) I have turn them in to everyperson adn place I can think of if there is anyone out there who has been taken the same way please turn them into the bbb and your local attoney general and the postal inspectors and the police dept ...I wan to to stop this company from doing this to someone eles....

I think it is wonderful that everyone is posting this information about scams for others to be aware of, however has anyone filed a complaint against the companies? I checked the Federal Trade commission website and did NOT find 1 complaint against Equimark. PLease, Please PLEASE! File a formal complaint and put these scammers out of business. Protect your neighbors, your relatives, your grandparents, and your children. FILE A COMPLAINT. 

Federal Trade Commission  

I also was contacted by Ted Pearson with Royal finance. I was told I would have to fly to Africa, since he was on some "business deal" to finalize my loan process. I told him I couldn't do that and he said he had an attorney that could do my paperwork for us. I would have to pay the attornye fees. i said that I wouldn't have those fees until I have the loan. They wanted me to wire the attorney fees to NIGERA. I didn't but this is a scam. Do not do any dealing with Royal Finance and his associates.

jaxie53... This sounds like a total scam! Stop communicating with these people. There is no such thing as applying for a loan or grant by email. Do NOT give them any personal information!

I recently received an e-mail from a guy named DR. Ted Pearson. He said he found my loan application on an ad. He said I needed to write a formal letter telling why I needed it, what I needed it for, and if I had any collateral, he then said e-mail it to me and I will forward it to our datamanagement department for consideration. He said he was in africa at the time working on a $9 million dollar collateral deal. He said if I was considered, I would receive an e-mail back from the datamanagement department saying I was considered. Well I just received a consideration e-mail back and it said I now need to request a "grant form" from this dr. ted pearson guy and then it would take them two days to determine if I would get the loan or not. It is a place called ROYAL FINANCE, and the guys name from datamanagement was Anton Whyte. Does anybody know about this?

I wouldn't trust loans companies that spam your email everyday. Check your local loan companies and their rates. Small companies are also pretty good. Do your research... see how much you can pay back in one month, fits into your buget, and interest rate. You don't want a loan with a high interest rate... hard to pay off... Know what you are getting into so it won't be any surprises.... for a list of scams... www.scambusters.org Also, when applying for a loan... you shouldn't have to pay money upfront for it... if you do... someone is scamming you... When you have a loan... you pay for a loan through monthly, weekly payments... You should never have to pay upfront for a loan... defeats the pupose of the loan....

Hello, I was recently contacted by Netwest Finance through a person calling himself Kevin Wong. He promised to lend me a large sum of money etc. I checked out Netwest on the web and found that the company name was being used as part of a scam. I never answered the ad. There is another USA based scam from a group calling itself American Loan Request. The principal person called himself Andy Campbell and his sidekick is Bob Sullivan, they scammed me out of $1800.00 through false loan promises. At the time they were operating out of Denver Colorado. Arnold

I have been speaking to a Ellen Bean with a Brace Lending Group out of California and she said I was approved for my loan of 28000 all I needed to do is transfer 1250 to some guy named Donald Anderson in Canada. Thank Goodness I read some of these articles I almost went out of my way to get the money for this loan. I am in desperate needs of this loan and now it seems to good to be true. Anyone knows of a place, that is not a scam please let me know.

I was scammed by equimark. I was contacted by a matthew davidson and a colin baxter. They said that they could get me a high loan with a low intrest rate. I filled out all the "paper work" and then they said they needed a collateral payment of 1200 and that my money would be in my bank the next day,I moneygrammed the money to a tanya bennet in canada, I checked my bank the next day the money wasn't there. I called them over and over but all they would give me were excuses and then they would put me on hold or hang up or they wouldn't even answer.I never made an application for a loan with equimark I don't know how they got my information in the first place. I filled a comlaint with bbc and fdc and filed a police report. Everyone says there's nothing I can do. Basically I lost all my money. I heard this was a big nigerian scam. I don't know why anyone can't catch these guys. If someone is picking up the money through a moneygram they need 2 forms of I.D. So why can't they find these people? If anyone knows what I can do, please help.

The information I have on Midland Financial is that in order for me to secure the loan I had to either get a co-signer, collateral or pay for the insurance up front which the dollar amount varied upon the amount of the loan. I didn't think anything of it because most personal loans are like that when you don't own a home. I spoke to like 3 different people at first then I dealt with one person named Paul Watson, then after I sent in my "insurance money" some other guy called me named Dave to confirm they had received it and that the money would be in my account within 48hrs. the guy even called me 2 days later to go over everything with me and sent me a faxed confirmation. When I asked him who was the financial institution that financed me and where is the information for me to send in my payments, that's when he got nervous and was stuttering. he told me it would all be in my packet that was going to be mailed to me. The next day I tried to look up their site to get the 800# number again because the money wasn't in my account and the site was deleted. I called the number for his line and voicemail picked right up but this time it was automated. His voice wasn't on there anymore. My heart stopped for a few seconds because they have all, I mean ALL of my information.

There is no such business located in San Francisco. This is a Canadian/Nigerian scam.

im with you guys...i just lost 1000 dollars due to highland financial...they are turly scammers, they have their phone number on the BBB listed as (905) 587-0028, i went to whitepages and re-veresed the number, it was a pre-paid cell with an account in fido-solutions, so i harassed them a little bit and the name under the cell was a "madamme E. Wood" i know its not much info but i will be calling the authorities and maybe they can find out more.

I wish I would have seen this last week because I just thought I secured a loan with Midland Financial they took my $675. and all of my personal information and now I am scared out of my mind. I don't know what to do...signed in tears

i wish i would have seen this sooner, i placed a loan for 5,500 and it cost me 864.00 to apply. well they didn't call me and when i got through they told me i was declined for the loan and they were supposed to wire my money back but no. every time i call, they hang up on me, no one ever answers the phone i think i got screwed

I did follow tro with equimark and lost 3100 dollars I spoke to a Patrick Bradey and a Cowin Baxter. They told me to but 6 months of the loan up front I did (stupid) but to late. They had all my info when they called. Anyone who can help please post.

Has anyone recieved any furhter information on NetWest Finance? It seems to be legitimate but I am very skeptical. If this is a scam, can anyone tell me of a place where I may be able to obtain a legitimate loan with bad credit?

Hi Everyone, I am new to this site but I have been reading all your comments regarding equimark investment group. I was searching for this company and this site came up. I was actually scammed yesterday with a similiar company. The name is Brace Lending Group in Long Beach California. I was contacted by them telling me that I was approved for a loan and I needed to wire $1000 to some guy named Peter Walsh in Canada. I was leary but I asked questions and checked the Better Business Bureau. There were no negative reports on them. They sent me a loan contract and I had someone else look it over. He said it looked legit. I wired the money yesterday. Today the money was supposed to be in my account it wasn't. I called the person I was dealing with Millie Kaleri and left 8-10 messages. She never returned my calls. I also started dialing in extensions and what a surprise nobody picked up their phone. On the website www.bracelendinggroup.com it lists two customer service numbers when you call them one disconnects you and the other is a pager. I called information and they had no number or address listed. If they were legit you should be able to get ahold of them. I am so upset right now. I filed a complaint on the labbb site. I am in such a financial mess right now. I don't know what to do. I am also scared because they have all my information and bank account number. I don't want this to happen to anyone else. Please beware. I also received a call from Andrew Bennett at Equimark Investment Group and he had approved me on a loan also with 4 payments upfront. I called him to ask questions about the loan and he asked me for the information and told me that they had a fraud department and maybe they could help me out. Oh my Gosh. I am telling him about all this and Him and his company are also a scam. How are all these people involved in this when they know they are hurting people and nothing has been done about it? How come they haven't been prosecuted? I also called moneygram of course they received the money on the other end. The girl that told me this said this is a huge scam right now with Canada and Nigeria. She said to file a police report and then maybe they could track this person down in Canada that took the money. Apparently they have to show id. I don't know what to do. Thanks for listening.

Hi thanks for this we were contacted by Andrew Bennett from Equimark and we were told the same thing.. we did a search and cameup with this site and are definately not going through with this! Thank you.

thanks alot to everyone that posted about equimark because they called me too and i was actually about to go along with it so thanks everyone!!!

Got a call from Equimark today same story as yours buyer beware. Also got a call from Highland Financial Group located in Ontario beware of them also same story co-signer with at least 60,000 per year income, 10-15% down sent to canada,super low payments, only problem is there is no company by that name there except a Insurance group. And when asked for a web site it showed they were located in Frankfurt Illinois. BIG SURPRISE their not there either!

Good I am checking up on this as I just got a call from a James from Equimark Investment Group initially approving a loan. How he found me, I don't know. Curious

thanks for all the info on equimark. if anyone discovers any other info please post.

Hi, I want to comment on Equimark Investment Group, I too was contacted and offered a high loan w/ a small interest rate, they wanted 6 months of payment up front money grammed to Cananda...that was the only way they would offer me the loan. I did a little investigation on Equimark, who said they were located in San Fransisco, and i researched the ceo, based on the signature they faxd me on the contract, and the ceo of the company is actually someone who lives in MAss. and is treasurer of some Transportation Company??? The address they gave me does exist, however doesnt list them as name of the business. When i askd them to fax over the contract, they had to hide the fax number so i didnt know what number it came from. The website Equimark.org doesnt even work and they dont have a customer service. I called them and spoke w/ two different males, and they both gave me same address, but located on 2 different floors. I contacted BBB and filed a complaint. THIS IS A SCAM.

dansqueen, loan issuing and lending is regulated by state and federal laws. The loan/lending company must have physical address and business license with the state where it operates. On the website under question I do not see any physical address and business license - they even do not have a listed phone ( although anyone can buy a disposable mobile just for the listing). And the asking to pay upfront money is just a red flag. See below the link to the federal government site regarding loan scams.
The Truth About Advance-Fee Loan Scams

I'm trying to find out about Equimark Investment Group also (Equimark.org) They are offering me a high amount loan with a low interest rate that i would not be able to get anywhere else. but they said i is an unsecured loan and to secure it i need to pay them my first 4 payments up front (so before they give me the loan) seems a little shady to me. they wanted me to send it to some guy in canada which is extra shady. The problem is this guy already has all my info. does anyone know about the company or have any advise?

Also folks, have no dealings with either Midland Financial or Fortune Financial. Both are scams!!!!!! They operate out of the west indies with a citymax extension on their email addresses. T

Has anyone heard of or deal with EquiMark Investments {equimark.org)for a personal loan? Are they legit?

Well it looks like I'm going to have to be the "odd" one out since grantwriting and research is what I do. I am definitely paid up front before I do any work and so far I haven't had any complaints. I will say one thing though when people are looking for grants and that is when someone says that they GUARENTEE that you will get a grant a red (flashing)warning flag should go up inside of you. The reason being that a grant can't be guarenteed. You have to apply for one just like everyone else. There are some financial need programs where if you can demonstrate need they will consider your application but them approving and giving you the money is not guarenteed. Your application has to be evaluated first.
Grant Basics 101

I knewthe deal was fake because the "attorney's email came from an email address "stephen@lawyer.com." If I were going to to try and fool you into going for my scam, I would at least make up a believeable email address. Besides, they want money up front-six to eight hundred bucks. Netwest is a legitimate company, it doesn't deal with individuals though. Google it and see what you find.

are you absolutely sure netwest is a fake? How could you tell the attorney was a fake and how could you know the company is a fake if you didn't go through the entire process??

A few weeks ago I recieved an email from a "Claire McNulty" who said he represented Netwest Financial, offering me a loan. He got my name and email address from aidpage. I replied to him and told him to send me the details. Meanwhile I checked out Netwest Financial. It turns out to be a legitmitate company with offices in Switzerland. But it is an investement firm that deals in property and business deals, not loans to individuals. This McNulty character emailed me some phony looking application forms and told me to fill them out and email them him, which I never did. I then recieved an email from someone pretending to be an attorney who said he could process the loan papers for me for $600-800 Us, upfront. Looks like a scam to me. So beware of offers for low interest loans from someone claiming to represent Netwest Financial. It is phony.
