Loan officer Brian Murphy, 800-256-8553 ext. 801 sent me loan docs which I filled out and returned to recieve funding for a loan. Brian informed me that I either need the insurance or co-signer. Since I did not have a co-signer, I paid $845.32 for the standard insurance and put the payment on 2 green dot cards. I thought it was suspect and was reluctant, but CFG had an A+ rating on BBB and was in business since 1992 so I took a chance since we really needed the money. At that time I did not see any complaints about them when I googled their name. Brian said the loan would be funded by Thursday, or Friday the latest. This was on Tuesday, 10/9/12. But on Friday, 10/12/12, I checked my account and no money, so I called and Brian claimed that after further review, my loan was placed on hold due to red flags on my credit report and the lender would proceed if I paid an additoinal amount to upgrade to another insurance policy. I knew I had no late payments and knew he was full of it. There was no way I was giving him any additional money. Therefore I told him I wanted a refund which he told me would take 7-10 days to recieve by money order or certified check?! Now I was really mad because they took the money immediately with Green dot, but couldn't put it back on green dot immediately. At this point I'm waiting for a refund check. I called last week and some lady answered for Brian and said the refund was processing and should be there by
the beginning of the week. It's now Wed., 10/24/12, and no refund. If no check is received I will be taking further action. I will be sure to post this message on BBB so there can be red flags becasue when I first checked them out they seemed legitimate.

  • Also had an A+ rating when I checked them out as well.....I then decided to contact the so called insurance company but found no phone # for them I had a strong feeling it was a scam at that point....Then I knew for sure when I was told to give the pin # to my loan officer??? I was told it was for an insurance policy so I knew he was full of it..Almost made a big mistake although I am still very upset that they have all my personal info and would rather have lost the money then my Identity!!! :-( Ughhhh I hope they get caught and shut down ASAP!!! I think they just are using a company that has been gone since 2004 and that is why it looked good. We really needed the money and like so many people today I was desperate for the loan....Sad how people will hurt others in need!!!! Am so sorry for your loss. :-(

  • My husband also looked them up and they had an A+ rating at first. After we went through what we did this month I looked them up and it had turned into an 'F' with an 'Alert' for this company. It makes me sick not only for what we have been through but that other people were affected too! We were told all the same things everyone else was, 'processing', 'in your account by the end of the business day', and etc. I am not stopping till they are shut down!

  • I'm glad they have an F and an alert now. I wish it was there sooner. I made sure to add my report on BBB as well. My husband has been calling them lately. But now no one is answering the phone. All you could do was leave a message. I'm just worried about them changing their name and scamming other innocent people.

  • FEV, I have been doing as much research as possible since this whole thing started with us back on Oct.9th. Today I found out that the phone number they are using is through Bharti Airtel Limited over in India. The websites I got my info from is www.mobile-number-locator.com/8002568553.html and mobileseries.in/8002568553.html. There coverage area is Bihar. I have also filed complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and www.ic3.gov. Green Dot has also been contacted and you can file through them online about the scam. They will tell you that you need to go file a complaint with your local authorities to get their records subpoenaed. I'm still digging for as much information on them as I possibly can.
