Important information
- Believed to be out of business:According to information in BBB files, it appears that this business is no longer in business.
- Additional Info:Since May 1, 2007, the BBB has received 18 complaints from consumers around the country. Complaints to BBB state that the company has charged between $760 and $1,700 in advance of providing a personal loan and that the advance payment was wired to Canada. In addition, complaints indicate to BBB that after receiving the advance payment, the company has failed to provide the loan.
All complaints on file with BBB have been closed as unanswered and unresolved.
As a result, BBB has contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's Phone Buster division and has and will continue to forward all complaints as received. Information in BBB files indicates that the addresses used in Fargo, ND are not the location of the company. On June 1, 2007, the Attorney General of North Dakota issued a press release warning consumers nationwide that this company and others like it "operate over the internet and claim to sell automobiles and other big ticket items which they claim are located in North Dakota, or to offer advance-fee loans. Consumers responding to the advertisements are directed to wire payment outside the U.S." Despite the fact the phone number given is in North Dakota, the calls are directed to an internet number which could be located anywhere in the world. The scam directs consumers to wire money outside the U.S., once this money is wired they get no product and the funds cannot be retrieved.
