I requested a loan - the loan was approved however because of my credit rating I had to pay three months in advance - the money was to be sent through Western Union which I did last week, the representative Kathy Webster told me that it was best to say I knew the person I was sending it to because it would cost me less (stupid me). Then Monday when I called her to ask the status she told me that the lender (because it is a private lender apparently) needed me to purchase insurance $500 - I had to do another transfer through Western Union, which again stupid me (actually desperate me) did. I called her this morning and she told me disbursement of my money would be today - she would call me back. Suffice to say 8 hours later I am still waiting for her call and still no money. I am a single mother - I asked for the loan because I need money and now I gave my last dollars - owe my sister because she paid the $500 on her credit card for me. I don't know what to do. Christmas is just 4 days away and blew my money on this. Nice gift! I am hoping you can help me and if not I really want to do something against them so this doesn't happen to somebody else. Thank you! Sylvie

- Sylvie...I'm with you. I'm planning on going after them. I will let you know what course of action I take and keep you posted so you can do the same. I cannot believe that these people dont' have a conscience.

- I have written down times that I have spoken to her and details that I remember - I even have a voice message from Kathy Webster and all. I am with you on this - I will not let this happen to somebody else.

I also wanted to mention that they go under Mitchfield & Gray Financial also and they have duped somebody else through that company name.
This all unreal! -

- Really...I didn't know that they went under another name. By the way this is grand larceny on their part. I wanted to ask you what number did you have to call. I'm wondering if you and I are calling the same number.

Here is the information I had in the e-mail that was sent:
Corporate Office - 302 Main Street - Paterson, NJ - 07505
Processing Div. - 900 South Ave - State Island, NY - 10314-3428
South HQ - 8950 SW 74th Court - Miami, FL - 33156
My contact was Kathy Webster at 1 (888) 565-7557 Ext 868.
Other details I have are 1 (888) 565-7557| Fax 1 (973) 807-9267| Website www.casselstone.com | Email: [email protected]
I received two e-mails with loan papers - one from Cassel Stone and one from Mitchfield Gray. I thought that Mitchfield Gray was the lender because Ms. Webster told me that it was through a private lender I was getting the loan.

- This is the same phone number I called..and guess what...today I called it and it is disconnected. I filed a complaint with the FTC and the New Jersey Police. I also plan on filing one with NY as well. I hope these people enjoy their christmas. You and I are in the same boat.

I know it was disconnected last night. I am in Canada - I filed with my local Police - here it is the Surete du Quebec and online with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
I have to admit I am freaking out a bit but it helps to know that I wasn't the only one that was tricked. If you need more information just let me know I will send it. I want to catch them! -

- I received an email saying I was approved for a loan thru Mitchfield & Gray financial, however I would need to provide collateral in the amount of $659.76 (this was based on the amount of loan). I couldnt pay til the 1st of the month. They sent me loan documents to sign it included $1500 for loan protection insurance. I emailed them just a few minutes ago and asked them about this insurance and how it was to be paid or was it an option. So I am waiting for their reply. Of course after reading the above scams I wont be sending them any money. My husband however is going to talk with them. If you do a search on mitchfield gray financial you dont get anything but their emails has the website and you can go to it thru that, strange. Their office are norwalk ct, new york new york, and miami fl

Thank you for writing. This is a scam - suffice to say I learned the hard way. I am happy our reports were able to stop them this time. I just did a search on google for them and I found them. Up until today they did not exist on a search. They are one in the same I am sure - as I said I received two e-mails one from Cassel Stone and one from Mitchfield Gray - I don't think I was supposed to receive the second from them.
They will tell you the insurance will need to be paid up front - they will ask you to send it to them through Western Union as a person to person transfer because if you do it as a business transfer it will cost you too much.
Don't trust them - I was naive enough to trust them and three days before Christmas I am out $1,600.00. I asked for a loan because I needed money not because I could afford to throw it away.
As I said I am happy you saw this before you sent them anything. -

- Yes, your husband is a smart man! I almost forgot to mention Mitchfield Gray - I am so happy that I remembered. I have made complaints pretty much everywhere - it can take some time but I have been told that on occassion it is possible to get money - I just want them caught - yes I need and want my money back but if all this helps in catching them that will be good for me. If you don't mind keeping me posted - I have sent the information already to the agencies and the police any extra info would be great. Thank you!

- i just found out today that they are a scam, the hard way...needed a loan to pay for college, and got a call from a woman named bonnie edwards from mitchfield &gray, accepting my applications, but i needed to pay 850$ for a down payment and another 750$ to insure the loan since i had no co signer, and unfortunately i paid all that money...then she just disappeared..i called a million times, and no answer..then this morning i searched and saw this, i wish i would have saw this before because now im out 1600$, and i even have to take this semester off since i cant pay tuition. i filed a police report and i called a bunch of different agecies, including stolen identification ones, just incase, also had to close my bank account..today has been a very stressful day.
