Ginger,

We all were thinking the same thing. We also were under the impression that maybe this person worked for the company and was trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

Hi,
My husband and I applied through AMB and was approved for 40,000 the amount we needed. When they called they said they got a privite lender to loan us the money, but we had to pay the insurance of 1,700. before they could release the money and with in two days it would be in our account. Before we sent the money we checked on BBB to make sure they were legit. Nothing in the past three years was on them. Why out of all these complaints did the BBB take so long to take them off their sight. So, we sent them the money. The guy also said and sent paper work stating if we pay is money that if we make our payments on time for the next six months then will would get half the money pay that we put for a despoit and they would give us back our money for wiring the money. Well, Monday came along and we did not recieve it. We even fax a voided check, a copy of his drivers license, and the signed paper worked. So, he called up the guy and he said he would call him up in half an hour. Well, the next day my husband called him and he said the company wants us to put out 2,000 more. We did not even had the first money. So, we told him we could not do it, so he said the company would work with us and we would only have to pay 1,000. We are suppose to wire the money on this coming Monday. Something did not sound right, but my husband and I could really use the money. So, last night I decided to go to google and look up them. Then this is where I found this website. I also looked up the insurnce company and they don't exist either. Then I finally looked up where my husband wired the money and notice it was in Canda and I asked why would you wire money there. They told him because that is where the campany deals with their money. I am going to all the sites and make a complaint with everyone and contact the local tv stations.

The person we talked to is Ronald Mansbridge if that is his name. The number was 18882136758 ext. 7. The place we wired money to is Hope Laeohson in Halifax, Nova Seotia Canda. I agree with everyone this people should be put in jail. Someone out there has to do something for everyone to get their money back.

I hope that you tell us something optimistic on Monday.

Blindtosee,

I am sorry to hear that you were scammed by these people. I dont understand how this company can stay around as long as it has been without being caught or shutting down. Someone on an earlier post commented on going to the newspapers and to dateline and such about these companies. I think that would be a tremendous idea.

Lisann, You don't need to assure the majority of people on this forum that AMB is a scam, we already know. We've all been in your shoes thinking that maybe tomorrow or by monday the money will be in our hands and it's not. It took me three buisness days to go by until it hit me like a ton of bricks. It felt like someone hit me in the gut and knocked all the wind out. Concider yourself lucky you only lost 500, I lost 2,000 and it was borrowed money. It's money that none of us will ever see again. It doesn't matter who we complain to, it's not coming back. I don't know if it's because the authorities don't care, but that's how it would seem. Now I'm going to have to borrow money to pay the person I borrowed money from, just to buy sometime and I'm still going to lose my truck and probably have all my utilities shut off, this has ruined my life.

all i have to say is, why is there not a company out there to help people with money problems. I read some of your stories and think why there is not a good company out there to help everyone in need. Our society has made money such a big deal in our lives that it can ruin our lives. I have heard once that there is all this government money out there, you just got to look and write letters to company's for money and they give it to you and use it as a tax write off. I wonder if this is true or not.

Once again, I have to ask the question, WHEN IS OUR GOVERNMENT GOING TO GIVE A DAMN!!!!! Have you all written to the white house? Keep the letters flooding in and maybe they will start to protect us.

I have a friend that was taken by this company. They told her that she needed to pay $1,500 for collateral and they would deposit the loan in her account. They took her money and they are gone. They require you to wire the money western union to Canada...that is a strong clue not to send it. Western union transactions can not be traced. Stay away.

my husband and i applied for a loan and we were told that we were approved and that the money would be in our account by noon it has not been deposited and when we call they say that their systems are down and that they don't know when it will be in we called again and nobody will answer. i wish that we would have seen this first

I have just been scammed by Allied Mutual Brokers as well. They wanted a payment of 1675 to secure the loan and they let me pay half via money gram. I sent it and did not hear back for a few days. Then they called back saying that my loan was on hold and that because of my poor credit history I had to send the other half of the payment via money gram myself and that the "private lender" was not allowed to pay the other half. I sent this money to Canada both times to 2 different individuals. I have not heard back from them in 5 days. I have called 1-888-213-6547 over and over and left messages and no one answers.

I know it painful, but know that Western Union doesn't give attention. They make money on these transactions. I was scammed by something entirely different that involved Western Union and I contacted them. The lady was rude and never called back to tell me what they did to resolve the problem. They are in business to make money. I say, do not do anything that involves Western Union, you can not get your money back or trace back to the culprit.

I put in a bogus application to a similar company called Freedom Trust. I used the name Sally Travis, the name of the lady at Allied Mutual that I spoke to and I made up an address and a social security number. I used my work phone number for my home number and, what do you know, they called me today. It was the same scam, asking for $1,500 for an insurance policy. My manager got on the phone and acted like someone from the FBI and the guy started stuttering like a fool and hung up. These people are unbelievable.

Sorry to hear about your luck with these people everyone hang in there. Hopefully they will get it at the end. I'm going to contact the goverment and ask if they can help. There are real honest people that do need help and no one will give them help such a great country we live in. They didn't get a dime from me my friend lives in Topeks Kansas went to the adress i was given no one there by Allied Mutual Brokers when I told them that they could not anthing else the just hung up the phone. I will find these people they are going to slip up somewhere and when that happens I will be there to take some action. I ttok my info to the local Police office they said they would check into it but no telling how long they will try to look. GOO LUCK EVERYONE HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH THEY WILL GET WHAT IS COMING TO THEM.
