They called me and offered me a $5000 but required a $1064 upfront payment. I told that lady that I didn't appreciate her trying to scam me. Just a heads up to everyone else.

yeh, you don't need to pay any upfront money before taking the loan. They were trying to scam you and you were careful enough.

I jsut got approved for a $6000 loan, secured. They want 1052.92 up front to cover the first 4 months payments, once they recieve that they said they would send me the $6000 and take off the 1052 for the total at the end.

We got the same approval with 626.72 upfront because of our credit situation. Has anyone done this??? They also wanted a copy of my husband's DL, and SS card. That was the weird part. I don't think they are legit.

DON'T DO IT!!!!

These companies are everywhere these days, and the amount of people that fall for this scam is shocking.

It's a scam, pure and simple. If a company asks for money up front (ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY!), before they can "fund" your loan, they are scamming you.

Let's say you send the money, and wait patiently for your loan to show up in your bank account, or the check to show up in your mailbox. How long will you wait before you contact the "lender" to see where your money is? A week? 10 days? 2 weeks? A month?

And how long do you think it will take for them to shut down their office and move, change their phone number, and pop up somewhere else, after they've scammed enough people in your area to continue their "business" and line their own pockets?

And SCBurns....if you didn't fall for this scam already, please don't! If you send them your husband's DL and SSN, I can almost guarantee you that your husband's identity will be missing very shortly...and a very good amount of your money and your life with it. They can ruin your credit, empty your bank account, and pretty much destroy your life with the little bit of information you give them.

I got tha same offer. I told them to take the $1000 from the $8000 they approved me for, the guy hung up on me, LOL. Guess that wasn't one of their options.

My son got scammed by these poeple and we were told we would receive a refund in 5-15 days. We now call them everyday and boy are they mad.
This is number to call for everyone who has been sealing with them. 1-877-420-1493 maybe we can stop this if everyone calls

I believe fidelity financial is operated by the same people that operated bramlea financial and brimmley financial this is a scam you will not get your money back .Please if you have been scammed contact phonebusters.com,bbb,ftc,police and attorney general .They are operating off of prepaid cell phones so I continue to call every day atleast keep their phones tied up and burn up the minutes.
