yes they got me but i'll recover, so anyone who is thinking about ICS put them out of your mind they are not real. i hope my money help them very much low down dog

I too was considering this company for a loan after one of my friends told me she was approved. Unfortunately for she has already sent the $75.00 without any research and will soon discover she has been scamed. I am glad I did my research before following her footsteps. I did however leave my name and address on Steven voicemail requesting an application but this was before I found this website.

Brownsuga, make sure that you don't get your loan even if the company tries to use some fraudulent means. If you have already submitted your bank information, monitor it very closely before some fraudulent activity takes place. Send a cancellation letter and get it acknowledged by the company.

I too, have sent $75 and then when I did that they sent me a letter to another loan company called Universal something, and asking for another $55 fee. I am not sending it, and yes there is a man named Steven that you keep getting his voicemails, and never returning calls. So yes I beleive its a scam I lost $75 thats ok though I am not sending any more in like another $55 no sir ree! Someone needs to report that man and the company and get him caught. They are scamming people big time.

Thank you voodoochild_82 for posting the warning about the Jamacian scam. I was contacted by a company offering a loan in the amount of $4000.00(this is minimum)about 2 wks ago, but I did not respond until Sunday, September 10th,2006. I was very leary when I spoke to the lady and I am glad I found this website. I knew it sounded to good to be true. The company is now using the name "United Financial Lenders", based in Jamaca. Their parent company is "Enhance Advantage Financial"(supposedly stateside). I talked to a woman who said her name is Kelly Knox and she said I could get a loan for $4000 from a private invester because the stateside lending office could not offer the options her office could. She gave me three options to secure the loan, one of which is the insurance policy for the amount of $495. This would be required to secure the loan for the duration of the term which would be 24 months. According to the contract, I would receive the $4000.00 in 48 hours direrct deposit or check via fedex after the receipt of the deposit of $495.00. I have not and will not send any money to these people. The current number now being used by this Jamacan scam company is 1-866-644-0518 and the fax number is 1-866-623-0144. She (Kelly Knox) even called me at home in the evening to give me her direct line of 1-619-566-2026, stating due to severe weather her toll free line was down. However, after reading your message voodoo_82, I did call and requested to speak to the Christine Valintine person you referred to and notice when Kelly Knox answered the phone, she hesitated and then responded by saying you have the "wrong number" and then asked "who's calling". The question that struck is, If I have the wrong number, why do you need to know who is calling and why did you hesitate when you heard the name? I believe voodoo_82 our Christine Valitine and Kelly Knox is the same person. What do you think? Too much of an coincident for me.

Has anyone every sent the 75.00 fee and actully gotten the loan??

Buildingwealth - thanks for the tip. However I did not give any personal information. I left my mailing address and requested an application on the voicemail of the Steve character. My friend has since received correspondence from ICS FINANCIAL - requesting an additional $55.00. She is not sending anymore money because thanks to the this website I was able to let her know the company was a scam.

i received a letter today and reading these emails lets me know that this is fake

I too received a letter that offered me a loan from $2000 to $5000. I'm so glad I looked them up and found this. Thanks for saving me $75 and the aggrivation

We received a letter by direct mail from ICS and were dumb enough to fall into it. We decided to pay the $75.00 fee AFTER they Steven told us we were guarenteed for a $20,000 consolidation loan through Universal Financial. This would take place in 10-14 days. After 3 weeks we received a letter of denial from Universal and cannot contact anyone since they will not return our calls. NEVER USE THESE GROUPS. We also had to send Universal a $55.00 fee and have no hopes in getting a refund.

i to fell for it. i did not send anything to them. and they did not contact, thankyou for letting me know

My friend just sent 75 to this company and now she can't get anyone on the phone, she now believes it's a hoax !

I received a letter to apply for the loan and I went on the BBB site, found the company with some minor conplaints and it stated they had been resolved so I sent my $75.00 (which may have been a mistake) over a week ago. I can not get a return phone call and I have yet to receive anything in the mail. In the past I had no trouble getting a return call which was before I sent in the money. Has anyone else sent in their $75.00 fee and if so what happened?

Yes, I 2 rec'd the loan application today, saying that I was approved for the $2000-$5000. I thought it sounded too good to be true! So I did a Google search for this ICS Financial Group and this website popped up. Thanx everyone for giving a heads up to other potential targeted consumers, such as myself! I was going to mail it off 2morrow, but not i'll be mailing it right to the damn trash can! Thanks again everyone!!!! Others----Please Beware of Scams Like This!!!!! Please Do your homework FIRST!!!!

I received a letter from ICS just yesterday. I came on the internet to check it out and to at least see if this company was reputable and had a website. I am so glad I checked it out before hand. Thanks.

I got the letter from them and sent in my application now that have are ss # what do I do know. I have a alarm on my credit. SO I can watch it.They have never contacted me. I will never pay for a loan.

I am a single mother of one. I sent in the 75 dollars .i kinda had my doubts so i tried to find them on the internet. No luck as i see. Even though i am out 75 i'm am glad i found this sight before i sent in any additional monies.

I toio Received the sanme letter called teh # 405.616.111 and recieved an answering machine. So Glad I researched before losing all I had.

Don't fall prey! always investigate

Well, you guys have made up my mind. I just filled out the money order, and something told me to go online and make sure this was real. And *poof* this amazibg site came up. By reading every single persons message, I have decided to go cash out my money order at the bank. I new this was too good to be true. Such is life, but i am not broke, I have 75 big ones!!! :) Pleae don't fall for it, as I was an inch away from mailing money I would never see again. God Bless you guys and thanks!!!

I got a letter today as well, and thank everyone on this site for postings. The return envelope I received actually had "GROUP" crossed out and "ASSOC" typed after it. If it seems to good to be true it most likely is.

I filled out the app today and faxed it back. This is what pulls up when i try to serach for the company. I have called and called and keep getting some one name stevens vm saying he is the manager and thet are real busy and behind but someone will get back to me. I need to know if anyone paid the $75. I work for a online payday loan co and it does seem fishy ....real fishy......it sure can target the right people because i am in need for help but not if it is a scam!!!!!!!! Has anyone been denied or even been able to speak to a live person??????? I need a loan but no scam...i would even do a payday loan with easy terms......my company knows most banks that lends and i never heard of the one they use>?

Don't send them a penny! I have never sent them money but a friend of mine did. They kept asking her for more and more and she never got the loan.

I have also read many cases on this website where people sent them the fees requested and they have never received the loan. Keep your money!

talking about the contract was being sent out to me and that I would need to read it and that a man would call me and I'd need to deposit $75 for the whole thing. It told me about the $2-$5,000 loan as well as the $35,000 consolidation as well. I knew this was a scam but had to check it out online first. Thank you people for your help in preventing me from making a mistake.

I have gotten a three page application and i also mailed them my money order for 75.00, dont send them no money, they do call u back but once u send in that money they dont call u no more and i check the status of my money order it was cashed but it was cashed with no help, u can also call the better business bureau to report them in oklahoma, the website it www.bbb.org.

i sent the 75 dollar fee thinkimg i would be able to pay bills and buy some christmas no such luck and now out 75 dollars

i just recieved a short app for ICS, I have tried to call and inquire about the interest and pay back info.. it has been 2 days and nothing, always good to do some research and see whats up..Has anyone recieved or spoken with anyone at ICS? It is pretty shady..

I did send in the $75 and i cannot even get this guy on the phone. if anyone has any info for me to get at these scam artists. feel free to reply.

go to prosper.com, i rec'd a loan fully funded within a week, it is legit, fast, great!!!!! you have to submit a profile, easy , and dont give up, if not funded, try again!!!

Any of these loans with this type of interest is trouble. Thats why in most states they are illegal interest rates . BE CAREFUL!!!! Dont get caught in their trap. Best Wishes

go to prosper.com enter a profile, wait, dont give up. much better than a loan at the bank, i joined hard money group, see several new loans get funded daily, i got mine for $3000 funded within a week. its all legit, legal, and great. Better rate than finance company, and other loans, set your own rate accordingly to your credit rating, my credit was very poor, got the $3000 loan fast. easy payments.

I have a friend that is in the process of getting a loan with this company, and I have a question, Is there anyone out there that has sent 75.00 and received their loan?

I also recieved the letter and call the number and the same voice message is given and he doesn't return the call. I'm glad I found this sight and you all have saved me from making a terrible mistake.

I just got the same letter in the mail. I was trying to figure out who they were.

I got the letter from ICS today and decided to check the company out online before I sent my application in, and came up with this sight. THANK YOU, for allowing me not to waste my time or the money for postage. I cant stand all these scams going on today dosent anyone know how to earn a rel living its called Work>>>>>>

I just received the 3 page letter. Thank you for this website.

got the phone call today from Steven Anthony and sent me a contract for $75.00 . I have been burnt before with this scam so i usually check out a company first

B/c i recevied a letter stating that i was approved 2000-5000, and debt cons. for 35,000. I tried to called the phone # but no one answer. All I got was a answer machine saying you reach ICs manager steven who is always busy on the phone with a customer. I called the phone # one night at 11:00pm and it said the same thing over and over again. I really think this is a fraud to get money out of consumer for free.

yeah i got the same stuff in the mail and I wanted to check out before i sent anything in because anyone can type something on paper. It just sounded to good to be true that they said I qualified for 30,000 personal. I'm just getting out of a divorce so my credit is shot and there is no way ANYHOW would approve me right now. Thanks for the info. I would have hated to get screwed over again.

I was just about to send them a money order when I thought I ought to see what I could find out on the net about them.I ended up on this sight and damn glad I did.I think I got further than anyone else as far as getting any info out of Steven Anthony.He told me my payment would be about $90.00 per month to pay the loan back to Universal.He almost had my money.

Did anyone receive any money from them. I was just wondering, because I haven't received the three page contract yet.

I have already sent my money I am sorry I did not do this sooner. I have three children and a part time job borrowed this 75.00 to send so I would be able to get my children some things for christmas. So anyone actually gotten the loan. I feel real stupid. Was really looking foward to this money.

this is to david1234 did you actually get ypur loan

Yes..I actually sent ICS Financial $75.00 and Universal Financial $55.00..No I did not recieve a loan or my money back. They are SCAMS!! Allcalls are filtered through an anserwing machine and they never returned my calls.

Yes I did send in the $75.00 and I have not heard anything as of yet. Is there someone I can call to report this matter?
