has anyone dealt with stockwell resources?

Keamy:
Please forward your information to the FBI, BBB, phone busters, FTC, your bank should still have the routing information that was on the check that was deposited. This would help the agencies put together a paper trail to help us all.

keamy,when you sent the moneygram, did you get the rest of the loan?

keamy, sounds like they are sending checks out for you to cash so you can send them the money back, then the check will probably be returned to your bank. and they got their money then you are screwed. well i have one more day left before im supposed to get my refund back but dont see that happening. lets just hope that they get caught and no one else gets scammed. they have really screwed up my finanical situatuion dont know what im going to do to get it back on track.

Please please please no one else cash or deposit these checks!!! Your bank can and will hold you responsible when they come back as forgeries. It can take a bank up to 2 months to find out a check was forged. You could actually be arrested for this and it is a horrible mess to clean up.

Even though you did nothing wrong your bank will hold you responsible for coming up with the money for the bogus check. They close your account because you tried to put through a forged check and they think everyday people should know what is a forgery and what isn't. It's ridiculous, but does happen. You will also be reported to chexsystems for fraud, and that will make it difficult to open another bank account for 5 years.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I would be shocked if anything about this company wa real.

Any of you waiting on refunds, if you do get one, be very careful . . . . Go into your bank and tell them the whole story. Tell them you are due a refund but feel this check is a fake. Ask them what you should do. Get it in writing from them if they just tell you to go ahead and deposit it and wait for it to clear. Seriously, make them write that down and sign it.

If you just go to a check cashing place you could be facing criminal charges for cashing a forged check. Just be super careful . . . . . I don't want anyone to go to jail for this scam but the people that are behind it!!!

In case anyone think this won't happen here is a story from a newspaper a few months ago:

hey i just had a thought, if you guys look at the loan papers they sent you to sign look at the bottom on the paget that list the terms of the loan. it is signed by william Easton President of stockwell Resources. just curious if anyone has called them and asked to speak with William Easton too see what they might say. just a thought someone should try it i would but i call several times a day and they recognize my voice and just hang up.

I called and asked for that william Easton president and of course he was not there they supposely took my information and said he will call me back like i beleive that. and i still have not recieved my refund check either.

Nope, the check never cleared. My bank sent it back to me. When I called Keith he asked me, Did you get the money? and I told him the check did not clear. He
sounded all suprised and said when I get the check back from the bank to call him and he will tell me what to do next. i just got the check back in the mail today from my bank, but I havent called him yet.
I will keep you updated on what happens.

I just filed an online complaint with the FBI and we are going to call a detective with our police department tomorrow. If anybody is willing to vouch as to their victimization as well it would be helpful. Please contact us at email address removed as per forum rules - Mike

Do not send stockwell resources anything. They are a scam!!!!!!!! They sent me a check for $4,200 and wanted me to hurry and cash it, then send them back a $2,200 canada tax fee. I called the bank it was drawn on ( comerica bank ). The check is counterfeit. Email me if you have any questions

I would relay my information as well Keamy.

I would relay my information as well.

I would also relay my information to any authority. also if you need to post your email address on here do it withouth the .com on it. also i called comerica bank they said they wouldnt tell any information to a third party, even if you called with a check and account number they would not verify funds. sounds funny to me, any bank should verify funds if you have a check written off of it. if anyone receives a check i would take it to your local bank and explain to them the situation and see what they can do to make sure it is a good check. also im supposed to get my check today as well so im sure it will be a comerica as well. i still cant belive they are answering the phones. i have one question when you got the refund check how did it come to you, was it in the regular mail or through some courrier service?

I have also filed a complaint with the states Attorney General's office.

I was surposed to get my check today but of course it did not come I called and started complaining to them about how bad they screw people lives and asked how do they live with themselves and they hung up on me, i guess i will have to wait till next week to see if i get my rufund.

We went to our bank today and we are gonna have to pay them back the $4,200! We filed a report with the local police and they pretty much told us they didnt think anything would happen to Stockwell Resoures. The cop called the fake Comerica number right in front of us and they pretty much hung up on him so the whole thing is a complete scam please dont send these people any money! The cop also called the 800 number to Stockwell and said that i was filing a report on the counterfeit check and they gave him the run around and then hung up. They said stuff like this happens everyday.

Oh and if you do get a refund check from them it's fake!

The check came through UPS if it had come from U.S. Mail it would be a felony. They have all the angles covered.

Where is everyone from, we are in Michigan.

im from alabama, i just tried to call them and no one answered.

After my police call today i guess they figured time to change company names and locations again

keamy, how are you supposed to pay the money back if you dont have it?

My bank is going to let me make payments

keamy, how are supposed to pay the bank back if you dont have the money? did the bank give you a payment plan?

Yes it like a forced loan the bank manager was super wonderful and sypathetic to our situation. Thank GOD but still we are out 3,700 dollars

You guys need to call dateline nbc, these guys need to be exposed.

i am from canada and they said my check would arrive today i also tryed to call them and no-one ansewered the telephone either

I think scams like these have been on dateline before . . . . They are called advance fee loans.

Keamy - You are really lucky your bank is letting you make payments. It sucks, but could be a lot worse. That's why I'm saying no one should deposit these checks. If they do, leave the money in there for at least 2 months. Even though the bank may say the check cleared 5 to 7 days after you deposit it, they can still come back later and say they were wrong, and you have to pay for it!

when i called stockwell on monday march 12th 2007 to ask when will i get my loan of $10,000 they told me who took my application? i told them kim verra they put me on hold and i got a busy signal so i hung up a few minutes later the person i spoke with called and ask did i called a few minutes ago to speak with kim verra? but the phone number was not 800 -517 -7606 the phone number was 647-502-7162 i never tried to call this number i don't know if this will help.

scamed2 hey i called that number the guy that answered sure did sound like keith, but he kept asking how i got this number and so on. i asked if he was in canada and he said no. so dont know who it is. course the stockwell 800 number is no longer working

scamed2 hey i looked up that area code for that number and it is for canada, so i tried to call back and they hung up, we need to get that number to the police so they can trace it to the person. i know this is someone that was working for the stockwell resources scam. i just dont know who we could give the number too.

hey i just called the 800 number at stockwell they answered the phone. i asked when my refund was coming they said by next friday, i've been told that for the past 3 weeks, also i asked if the check was going to be written on comerica bank and she asked why i said because all the checks you are sending out are fake. she said it would be a cashiers check , but i said is it written on comerica and she kept asking why do i want to know that and i explained that it would be a fake check. i need for everyone to call them today as many times as you can and if you dont mind can everyone put their real name on here and everytime we call we can say that all these other people have been told them same. my name is chris from alabama.

i think everyone that has received a check from them should contact comerica bank and let them know what this company is doing maybe they can do something about it.

scammed i found out the phone number i listed earlier 647-502-7162 is a cell phone based in toronto,ontario,on the registered service provider is rogers wireless:detailed listing information is not available by the way i'am in washing,dc

I wish I saw this website before those jerks scammed me. I'm a single mother who was in a desparate situation. I wasn't thinking clearly and rushed into this "dream loan" that turned into a nightmare!!! I was also assured that once I paid the $1000.00 collateral fee I would receive the funds, when that didn't happen I was advised my account was "red flagged" and the "lenders" requested a $750.00 security deposit. I bought that line of "BS" because I know I have some credit issues. Foolishly I sent the additional money. When the funds still where not deposited I called several times and after they hung up on me for days I finally spoke with someone named "Sharon-Gilda-Pam" who said there was fradulent information on my application, I had to laugh at that, the nerve of them accusing me of fraud!!!! They were suppose to mail my money back to me of course, that hasn't happened. They really put me in more of a financial bind than I was in to begin with. I learned a valuable lesson, and I hope eventually the word will be put out about these companies so no one else will fall prey to this sick scam!!! I am in the process of filing complaints with as many agencies as I can. If anyone gets word on a potential lawsuit and there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. These people need to left in a jail cell to rot!!!!

scammed the number i listed before 647-502-7162 is a cell phone number based in toronto,ontario,on .the registered service provider is rogers wireless[detailed listing information is not available]

Rule of thumb,never ever pay money upfront for any type of loan.If they have legitimate fees,they would come out of loan after the loan was approved and all fees would be listed in your truth in lending paperwork.

Yes it could be a lot worse and i do feel better now just knowing i will be able to put this all behind me, lesson learned. The bank manager said it could be up to a year befor that check came back as fake i suggest not trying to put a hold on it or anything its not worth the paper its printed on!

I will vouch for any investigation also, I want my damn money back I have an 8 month old baby!

I will also vouch for any investigation, I also talked to Keith, Sharon and Richard Henry, I have an 8 month old and I want my damn money back!

I just finished closing all my Bank accounts & opening new ones as the police told me to do so, I hope you all that got scammed, have done the same & informed Credit companies of possible future frauds, Especially if they got your SIN number etc. as they got a lot of info from me, they know where I live, how much I had in the Bank etc.!

I'm from Ontario Canada, After I gave the 1800 number to Phone Busters, they said it didn't have to be listed with any address, So that means anybody can keep doing this to others & get away with it, I think it's time that this is changed so only real businesses can get these numbers & not those who are out to scam & rob desperate people out of their hard earned cash!

hey jraymoon why don't you give the phone busters the number i listed earlier to the phone busters?i did find out it was a cell phone based in toronto ,ontario ,on and the registered service provider is rogers wireless no other detailed listing information is available.may be the phone busters can get more information.the phone number is 647-502-7162.i also tried to search the 800 number but like you said it is hard to get information.

i still have not received anything and when i called on friday they did not pick up the phone. I also will back up any investigation that might happen. also i am from ontario canada, i will will try both numbers on monday.

Scamed2 I'll give it to them & See what they have to say, I once had a cell phone stolen & the person who stole it made 2 calls to a Toronto number total up to 12hrs, the police just told me the person who received the call didn't steal the phone, & they could just lie about it! so nothing happened!

any word on stockwell today, its funny they also said my application came back because of fraudulent information. They also said my creditors told them i wouldnt pay the loan back, so i asked them which creditors and they said that was confidental information. i also checked my credit report they didnt even run a credit check on me, im sure they didnt run one on anyone we just belived since we had bad credit they were telling us the truth. they never had any intention of giving anyone a loan, they just filled us with that crap. has anyone contacted an attorney on this matter, i wonder if we could all get together and get one attorney to take our case and maybe sue these people as individuals.

i called the RCMP and talk to a consable there he told me to write down everything that had occured and all the addresses and phone that we have he said that he will also contact the toronto police to see if they can do anything.

contact the 800 number it is still working and ofcourse
just was givin the run around again by keith. this is march 19 today they did pickup at 10:30 so the number is good

henderhawk, hey i sent an email to the edmonton police and described what happend dont know if it will do any good or not.
