Thank you very much for this web site. Here is another one:

Ridgefield Financial http://ridgefieldfinancial.org/ Toll Free : 1-800-963-2457



For a $5000 loan I was supposed to send them $1100 and my payment would not be due until August 2009. Then he asked me how soon I could get the money to them. I just laughed. Haven't heard from him again.

BUT I did hear from 1st International Financial, someone named Matthew Clark. They said there would be a fee but it would be taken off from check that they would send me for $5000. Has anyone heard of this group? They emailed me, however there is no web site for them.

Hilldale financial Orlando Florida :twisted: - If you are smart or even if your not- do not attempt to get a loan from these scammers. Offered me a $5000.00 dollar loan but only if I sent them 910.00 dollars to a woman in Canada. Yeah right!. No legit loan company ever asks for money up front. Maybe an application fee of $25, but I could afford to lose $24, but not 910.00. I am so sorry if anyone has been taken by HILLSDALE FINANCIAL. Just wanted to warn future potential customers not to answer an email or fill out an application. Go to a Bank or anywhere else, just don't be taken in by EASY LOAN FOR BAD OR NO CREDIT.
