I have less than perfect credit and searched online for a loan to get my bills current. I was contacted via email by Joel Cohen of Pine Valley Financial saying that I was approved for a loan of $5,000. I called the contact number 888-990-9437 and told him that I didnt want that full amount but he said that was their minimum. I said ok and he in turn said I needed to make a collateral deposit. I became skeptical when he gave me a private name Edward Warren to wire transfer $790.00 to New York. I should have followed my instinct and not send it. He told me i would have the 5k in my account the next day and that did not happen. Instead i got a call from Gary Howard
saying I did not get the insurance approved. I shouted at him that this is a scam and not sending any more money! I asked for my money back and he said I will have to wait till 30 days and how its in the contract. i checked it and it said their billing cycle for refunds. I just want to get my money back and stop these people from defrauding others!!!

  • Gary Howell continues to tell me they are trying to get my money back from the "private lender" if not the insurance will cover my loss and a refund will be issued November 18. I am working very closely with my local police department, they have a financial unit, I hope something comes of it. Good luck, please update me if you make any progress.

  • Sorry Allison, I thought I was posting on Chelsea's compliant. As I recommended and asked of her, would you please file a report with the IC3 (FBI's internet crime unit), the attorney general (I did both Wisconsin and my state) I am about to file it with New York also, it seems pretty obvious that is where they are really located since we are all sending our money there, and also file a report with your local police department. I also filed a complaint with the BBB. I am sure I will never see my money again but I am determined they face charges for their fraud!
