Got an email after searching for loans online that I was approved for $10,000 at 9% interest rate. Went to their web site filled out short loan from. Few days later they sent the loan docs to my email, I printed them, signed and sent the signed copies back. Sent $648.00 dollars to secure the loan which would be applied to the Bal. After they got the money they called back and said the lender rechecked my credit and needed another $648.00 for collateral, sent that, the loan officer who name is suppose to be Jean Oakley called and said now in order for me to get the money the loan need to be insured! I blessed her out. Few days later I get a call from a MR. John Carr claiming to be the manager of Ms. Oakley, said she messed up he was going to make it right and get me my money. Ha, ha he's full of it too! Sent $350.00 for the ins. which was non refundable. Now after they get that they need money for the bank to release the funds. I tell them to forget it and just sent me a refund. OK they say they will send but it takes 30 days to process! OK I called back after 30 days on APR 25 2013. Now they need $199.00 processing fee in order to do the refund oh, i'll get back in the refund it's just how they file for their taxes. Like a dam fool i send them $199.00 Call back a few hours later hey Mr. Carr did you process my refund? He says yes the refund is ready but the bank where it's coming from need $200 and something to release the funds. Of course I go off! He says just as calm well when you're ready to proceed with your refund call me and let know. Ms. Oakley's phone # is 1-866-834-0698 and some answers every time you call. Mr Carr's # is 1-877-829-2653. He answers every time you call, sometime he'll you back from an Unavailable #. They really need to be stopped! This took place from 02/24/13-05/02/13.

  • Fred I am so glad I stumbled on this and good for you. I too have been a victim of this company and have been dealing with the security and legal authorities. I have a book of emails and information on them and John Carr as well as Jean Oakley should be caught.I also had a Christine Dillon who called me as the acting Supervisor and was told Jean was suspended due to her errors. I am out a fair amount with them and just so you know I have been working with the Connecticut Protection and fraud department as well as the state police. they indicated they are investigating. Did you know the state police went to the site address they have on their site and it turns out it was a phone room that had been there for over 12 years? and their has never been a lending company in the building. Oh yes I am pissed can't believe I fell for it. I want them caught! If I can save one person from going through what we went through then I can live with my very big mistake.

    I have lost so much sleep over this and put my self in deeper debt. I am not sure how these people sleep at night and how they feel it is ok to steal from victims whom need the money the most. I guess they have no emotions.

  • one more thing check their site it is no longer their and now comes up as something different. I guess with scams like this they need to stay on the run so they don't get caught.

  • I too am a victim of this scam. It started with recieving an email saying i was approved for a $10K consolidation loan at 9%. Too good to be true, but everything looked legit. The website. the documents. I kind of had a feeling something was off because of the poor gramar in the emails i recieved. I too have a book of emails. I live in Canada, so not sure how many other have fallen for this.

    Christine Dhillon was the first person i spoek with. Then a Jean Oakley, said she was the supervisor and had taken over becaue Christine had made so many mistakes. Then John Carr steps in and acts as the manager trying to help. I have sent upwards of $4000.00 to them in since March 2013. I have fallen more and more into debt.

    What are the Conneticut Police doing about this? Any other law enforcement involved?

  • So glad I stumbled upon this today. Just spoke with John Carr this morning. 2 weeks ago I told him I had no more money to send until i got paid. Surprise! He called me yesterday knowing i might have more funds to send today. Same numbers Fred has posted.

    Did you guys send funds to Miami and Jamacia?

  • Hello Missy, I am also from Canada Mississauga area. I never had to send money to Jamaica always Florida area. Which leads me to believe they are working out of. I have gone to every authority in Conneticut unfortunately they can't do anything as no such company exists in their state. They do have it open as under investigation and they are tracking complaints but they have no way of knowing where these guys are and calling from. Believe it or not I actually had a call from John Carr last week. OF ALL THE NERVE and to think I would fall for his lying cheating game again. I basically told him that he was scum and asked how he sleeps at night!! He hung up on me as usual. Tough live and learn lesson!!! and I am out 4k as well. oh the sleep I how hurt I was to have fallen in too this trap.

  • kelly, he called me today asking me if I had the $170 transfer fee he had reduced for me from $300 I asked for a cheque to be mailed, he said they couldn't because it was not guaranteed funds. I said I would take my chances with a cheque. John Carr refused to send an e ail confirmation, fax or anything. I questioned him about the complaints, he said you and Fred were a part of an identity left ring and causing problems and I should "trust" he would send the refund.

    I asked him to get the refund fee waived. No response. I feel like an idiot or going along with it, but I was in a jam and needed help.

    I told John Carr I would come to Connecticut to meet him, he refused.

  • Wow, he is something else! Missy you need to realize your money is gone. I have come to terms with this and have no choice but to realize this and I was a true victim of Fraud. I just wish we could catch these guys somehow. Where are the calls coming from and there website no longer exists. and when I questioned him on this John simply hung up on me. I am happy to speak with you if you like on the phone if it would help? Just to at least chat and have someone to talk to that has been through this.

  • I can't believe it they just called me again!!! EVERYONE I DO HOPE NONE OF YOU GAVE THEM YOUR SOCIAL INSURANCE NUMBER!! They called today not realizing I was already one of their victims and wanted me to confirm my SIN. I refused and said your voice sounds familiar!! And she went quiet. I then said you wouldn't happen to be working with Weitz? she hung up immediately. by the way they have no website now and make sure any info you gave them is not going to make you more of a victim then already. I wish we could somehow together get these guys. they are not that smart if they keep calling us and not realizing we are already a victim of their scam. Also I have tried to do a complaint against them but I can't get it to go through not sure what I am doing wrong.

  • Kelly, I have come to terms with the fact that my money is gone and I take it as a lesson learned. Too bad that there isnt a way to trace the number. I have contacted the consumer protection bureau to see if they can help. if you would like to email me to chat feel free (Personal Information Removed)
