I put out an ad for baby sitting on craigslist and some lady named Brenda asked for my name and number. She emailed me back with the scam details saying I would take care of her daughter who is new to the country I would need to give them my ssn and other personal iinformation. I knew it was a scam so I didn't. But that number called me today, I didn't answer.
National Lendings Group, Con Artist that scam people into fake loans and keep their collateral. They Took 3200 from me, and friends. We are also all military Vets that really trusted this dumb company! He will call himself Kevin Wrighting Ext 117. We too are trying to get them, FBI, Police, Military Jags I hope we all catch these people.

We put in for a loan thru national lendings group and a Kevin Wrighting called us telling us that we were approved for the 8,000 dollars we applied for and he said we needed a 1,000 dollar downpayment that would be payed for the fist 6 months of our loan and he sent us a loan agreement. It all seemed real so we sent the money by money gram to Ontario, Canada... He said our money of 8 thousand would be in our banking account the next day by noon. At noon we did not recieve it so I called him back and he said they needed another 1000 dollars for the down payment and I said no. I told him just to send the money back to me and he said I would get it in 30 business days. Now when i call the number 347-562-2648 and 1800-375-1405 it is like it is disconnected. I have reported it to the FBI, Attorney General, and BBB and havent heard anything yet but I wont give up till I get my money back... I hope that noone gets scammed by these people again!
Trilium Financial Group - got scammed by them big time - now they keep telling me refund is in the mail - for the last 3 weeks - Have not only registered with goverment fraud division, but now with the attorney general in Vermert - is there any help.
It's a shame so many people have been rooked by scams like these. No legitimate loan company requests advance fees for a loan, especially by MoneyGram or Western Union.
My advice for high-risk borrowers is to check with the BBB *first*, don't respond to unsolicited loan offers that you didn't request, and never, never pay a fee up front. You will never see your money again, much less the promised "loan" which doesn't exist.
I'm so glad I decided to look into this further before i sent them any money. Kingsland funding told me the same story. I was approved for an 8000 loan if i sent 976.50 as a security deposit they said to fax them my id info and they would send me a six page contract. They said once i paid the deposit they would deposit 8000 directly into my account. My wife decided to look it up when the contract came though. I'm glad she did.
