I had checked on line reference personal loans. I got an email from Portman Keane stating that I had been approved for a $10,000 loan. I searched all the web sites I could find that would give me information on this company. I could find nothing negative. The company required a purchase of an insurance policy for $750 or more. The payment had to be made prior to the funds being released. I made the payment on 9/14/12 and was told the funds would be posted in 4 hours. As of 9/15/12, there is not indication that the funds will be posted. I'm out $750 and should have known better.

- I also had this problem and have since done a lot of research on this company. To date, I have found out that all of the information provided on their website's links is copied from Wells Fargo (really, check it out) and that the domain name portmankeane.com was just created on 8/29/2012 that I found using estibot.com...just type in the domain name. Also, they claim that they have to use moneypak greendot cards because they are going to place a "hold" on the funds then refund half of them after 6 months, well I called greendot, and not even Greendot themselves could place a hold on the funds, much less a merchant!! Portman keane also claims that they get applications from Wells fargo and lending tree, well call them...they will tell you that they have no idea who "Portman Keane Financial" even is!! I was contacted by a supposed "Nicole Gaines" at ext 488...She didn't like when I asked if this was a scheme. But, that is probably not even her real name. I think everyone should post who contacted them and at what ext. Because it is all so bogus!! I am lucky though, because before they actually took any of the $750 off my moneypak card I was able to have the money transfered back to me, unfortunately though they can't just put it on your bank issued debit card, it has to go on another prepaid "greendot" card...so if anyone else is reading this because they felt something just wasn't right...and you have time to salvage your money...hurry up and go purchase a greendot card (make sure it's not one that says walmart though...that was a fiasco it has to say just Green dot on the card, so I purchased mine at walgreens) or you can hurry and not waste any time and go to greendot website and click "get a card" they will generate a card that you can write down all of the numbers then transfer the money on to that. But I then went a step further and went to walgreens and purchased one to transfer the money on so I would have something I could use with money right away.
