Rockwell Financial Group in Miami Florida offering me a $5K

I started out looking online for a loan to consolidate some bills. I have lousy credit so I was having a pretty hard time of it. I was contacted on the phone by a company by the name of Rockwell Financial Group in Miami Florida offering me a $5,000 personal loan at 6%. I asked them to FAX me the information which they did. They wanted $900.00 by Western Union to process my loan in 24 hours. I made the mistake of trusting them and drained my bank account depending on the $5,000 to be there the next day. The very next day they called me wanting $900.00 more. I told them there was no way and they promised to refund my money by the following Monday. That never happened. Well I thought okay, maybe I can cash in one of my life insurance policies and at least recoup my losses. The Insurance company told me it would take 2 weeks to process. I panicked, I took out 5 payday loans to try and make my car payment and mortgage hoping that the insurance policy would be enough. Two weeks later I was only able to pay off 1 of them with the cash from my life insurance policy and now I can't pay the rest. I have already closed my bank account and reopened a new one to prevent the crooks that ran off with my $900.00 from dipping into my bank account since, of course, I had to give them my account information so they could "make their deposit." I am so scared right now. I cannot sleep or eat. My professional life is suffering due to my lack of the ability to concentrate on anything but this mess. Can anyone help me??? I


You need to report this to your govt. authorities, AG, I believe these people are under investigation. There are others on this site that have fallen for this scam. (Paying money upfront for a loan and never getting a loan) You will find plenty of help on this site in dealing with your internet pdls, many of us have been in your situation and felt the same stress. What state are you in and what pdl companies are you dealing with?

They are now calling, some of them daily, to ask for my new account information. I have heard that they can garnish wages and fear for my job if that happens as I have only been there about 2 1/2 months. What should I do?

Annette, if you register with this site, you can get a free consultation with a debt counselor. They can discuss your situation as far as the payday loans and explain the options available. It is possible to consolidate all of your payday loans into one affordable monthly payment, which a debt consolidation company would then disburse to the payday lenders until the loans are paid off. They would also deal with the payday lenders on your behalf, so the harassing phone calls will stop. There are a lot of members on this forum who are working with debt consolidations companies to take care of their payday loans.

Tiffiny 99,
Thank you for the words of encouragement. When I registered with the site, they referred me to Consumer credit counseling of America. I called them and they said they do not deal with payday loans. When I registered, the form only asked how much unsecured debt I have, not what type, maybe that is the problem. I really need help FAST.

Wow I was begining to think we were the only ones.. My son just went thru a similar scam, I'm afraid, with a co. called Rockwell Lending. He saw the ad in a newspaper. We are in North Florida. He also paid over $900.00 for a 5,000.00 loan, also using western union and when the loan did not appear in his account, he called and was told it would take an additional $700.00.. He told them no and to refund his money this was 3 weeks ago and no refund. Would appreciate any advice anyone can give us.. Would love to get others together that have been scamed by this co and maybe get a class action suit. I do not want to let this go.. I am so sick of people getting ripped off but these low life pieces of trash..

P.S. after numerous phone calls regarding refund and not getting anywhere I told them I was going to a local TV station that helps people with these problems and I was told.. Quote: Go ahead.. Get off my phone you dumb f*ck. She were on speaker phone so my son and I both heard this. We were shocked and relized then it was more than likely a scam.

To: Milkmaid2001.. I am so sorry to hear of your problems with this.. I wish there was something we cound do to get our money back.
How do we go about reporting this to AG.?
Thanks

RICHFIELD LENDING TOOK ME FOR $1800.00. I'M NOT 100% POSITIVE BUT I THINK BOTH OF THESE COMPANYS ARE RAN BY THE SAME PEOPLE. THEIR PHONE SYSTEM IS THE SAME , THE PITCH IS THE SAME AND THEY WANT THE MONEY SENT TO CANADA ALSO. BE AWARE OF BOTH OF THESE COMPANYS THEY ARE BOTH SCAMMERS. PLEASE DON'T ALLOW THEM TO SCAM YOU LIKE SOME OF THE REST OF US DID.

I am a victim too of this advance fee loan scam by Rockwell Lending that claims it's operating in Ohio. I lost over $5k trying to get a loan. I already filed a complaint with the Ohio BBB and was told that my money is gone and can't be recovered. If you've given out any sensitive information to this company such as bank accounts and SSS, I urge you to place a fraud alert to the 3 credit bureaus and contact your bank to alert them that you've been a victim of a fraud to protect yourselves from anymore damages or losses.

I have fell victim to this company. They called me and said that my loan for $15,000 was approved and they would need me to money gram them $600 for the insurance pemium. Like a desparate fool for the money, I did as they said. I never received my loan and am now out $600. Due to this my bank account is now put on hold and my wages are being garnishe because I am unable to make payments to catch up on bills that I am behind on, thanks to this scam that took my money.

Hello, I am glad I researched this company before I sent my money! I am desparate as well and almost fell to this scam. I also went to the BBB and filed a formal complaint. I found out that it is illegal to request money upfront for a promised loan. How they are getting away with it, I don't know.

Just got a call from Pine tree lending, said I was approved for a loan of $7000 at 8%. However, I had to pay $1100 up front in order to receive my loan. When I asked that a contract be sent to me to review first the agent refused. Said that the document were "legal and binding" and thats why I couldn't see them. Lame!

I have received calls from Affidavit Consolidation Service from Tampa, Fla....at least that's what the number shows anyway. I have applied for payday loans on-line before but not with the company they say I have (Advanced Cash USA). They (AFS) say I took out a $300 back in June 2009 (which my bank statements say I don't) so now I owe $508 if I settle out of court. I told them I never received emails, calls or anything until a few days ago. They want quit calling me and now threatening me with the court issue if I don't pay the $508. Has anyone heard of either of these companies or do you know anything about them? I've researched on-line and read nothing but bad stuff-----

So, I'm looking for some input on this issue.

Thanks

I know this is a year later but i hope you didnt pay them anything. Its called fishing for information. I received a call of this nature about 2 months ago. The guy said i got a lan from them. I told him i had not received anything from any one and i had the bank statments to prove it. The tried to get me to verify my banck acct nu,ssi,num and address. Of course i was already on the scam. I told them if they did not stop harrassing and if they took anything out of my accounts. I was going to sue the hell ot of them for harrsment and fraud. I let them know again that my bank statmens for the last year showed not deposit from any loan companies. I contacted bank theyverified there was not transacton of this type and thats wn i learned from them it is call fishing. Ilet thy guy know this also. I havent heard from them since.

We fell for this scam the other day. I called everyone and did everything I could to get them into trouble. Nobody will help us. They basically said that because it was under a thousand there was not much they could do and plus we should be thankful it was not a bigger amount cause they get up there pretty high. This sucks. If a normal person steals money we go to jail. If you do it online then it must be okay. Which really sucks. They really hurt our family and they are gettting by with it. My husband has to work extra hours now to just catch us up. Our utilities were going to get shut but thank ful for help.
Please be careful on anything you do online.!!!!!

Thanks for the heads up. I too have been trying to get approved for a loan online. Well, guess who just called me claiming that I had been approved? You got it! Rockwell Lending, ph# 317-495-3592. I am so glad that I did some inquiries before acting. These people need to be reported!
