Blue Shield Financial
Complaint 27775 Details

At the end of September, I applied for some loans online. I got a call from a Jason Williams from Blue Shield Financial on October 6,2011 saying that I qualified for a loan for $6,000.00. He had all of my personal information and I thought that this was legitimate because I applied online with banking institutions I had heard of before. He said that I qualified for a collateralized loan and in order to get the loan, I would need to either wire or mail them a payment of $900, which was essentially an advance payment on the loan. He said that since they were located in Florida, they were unable to use anything else as collateral. He sent me a contract, which I signed and emailed back to him. Since I'm facing eviction from my apartment, I was desperate to get the loan and pay my rent...so, I fell for it and wired $900 to a person named Daisy Flores in Spain. The reason for this, as he explained, was because the lenders were foreign lenders and that they need to receive the money directly before the $6,000 would be release to me. So, I sent it out via Western Union. The next day, the money was not wired into my account. I called to see what happened and only got Mr. Williams voicemail. About an hour or so later, I got a call from a John Mitchell, Senior Manager, Client Care and Support at Blue Shield Financial. He said that the lenders in Spain asked to have my file re-analyzed and found that my credit rating was too low for them to fund my loan unless I put up another payment of $1,164.26. So, I agreed to it and he sent me a revised contract, which I signed and sent back. I then wired the money over to Spain and waited to hear back from them. Mr. Mitchell called me the next day to tell me that they've been unable to reach the lender and that my loan wasn't going to be funded. When I asked for my money back, Mr. Mitchell told me that I'll get it back in November 1st for certain, but that he'll do the best he could to get my money to me sooner. He was extremely belligerent with me so we got into heated argument. He was suppose to call me back the same day (October 11, 2011) to let me know when I'd get my money back and I still haven't heard back from him. I called many times and none of my calls have been returned. Now when I call, I don't even get a recording anymore...it's just dead air. I need help ASAP!!! I don' t know what do to or where to turn. I'm still facing eviction and need some help right away. The following is the information I have for Mr. Mitchell:
