I applied for a loan online. I am in dire straits and needed a lot of money to pay off all my debt. James Lifton of Kenworth called me and we went over details and I was approved pretty quickly for the loan @ 6% interst - couldn't get any better, right? All seemed good, they wanted money down to secure the loan that would cover the first 8 months of payment and I wouldn't have to make a payment until June 2010. Sounding all too good but I thought this is good, I am finally getting somewhere. I looked up online, website looked good too. At the time I applied I did not fina anything negative about them. I even looked them up on the BBB but I must have found a different company because when I went to search today, their name doesn't even come up in a search. Strange. Hopefully I haven't lost too much money. well, $2000 I may have lost. I still needed to send another $1000 which I was trying to get together this weekend to make that payment. Then a friend of a friend mentioned being ripped off by something similar. I did more research this morning and lo and behold here come all these scam reports of Kenworth Lending Company, crap, this can not be happening. I borrowed a bulk of the down payment/deposit whatever you want to call it from a friend. I left a message for Kenworth to call me asap regarding the money I had already sent. It was sent to a Donna Fuller in North York, Ontario, Canada via Western Union. I am hoping beyond hope that I will at least get my $2000 refunded. This is going to cause even more hardship for me and I feel so stupid for not seeing the signs earlier. If it seems to good to be true, then it most likely is. I honestly don't know what I am going to do now. I am so screwed. Be forwarned, THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
If your reading this, then you have obviously been scammed or possibly been scammed by a company calling themselves "Kenworth Lending Group". I am telling you don't fall prey to this.
Monday August 13th, 2009 I had a man leave a message on my cell, telling me that he could help me with a loan I had applied for on their website a few days prior to that. Nathan Myers was the name of the contact from the company. I returned his call and he told me that he could help me secure a loan of $6000.00 that I had applied for, with a 6% interest. He asked me a few questions and then told me to call him the next morning for my answer. When I called he told me that he was going to need 8 months worth of payments to secure the loan, I should have had flags go up then, I told him that I didn't have that kind of money, that if I did I wouldn't be applying for a loan. Nathan then said, let me call you back, I need to discuss this with my manager and see what he could do. I received a call a couple hours later to learn that the loan was mine, I just had to come up with 1125.68 and money gram it to them. I was able to send 1000.00, that is all I could come up with. This was my bill money for my rent, electricity, groceries and other things. Nathan then told me that the money would be in my account by the next morning. I got up all excited just knowing that my loan would be in my account, I looked at my account only to find that there was no money, so I waited until time for them to open, I called Nathan and told him, he told me there seem to have been a glitch in the deposit, so I said okay and he reassured me that it would be there the next day...still no money so by Friday. On Friday I was told to give till Tuesday and the money would be there. Tuesday I had no money, so I called customer service that is when I was put intouch with "Lawrence Blake". Nathan told me that he was the go to guy when it came to fixing things. After sending a total of 1650 to them, that is when I came across these complaints, because I had research things and the website seemed ok, nothing was showing up bad about them.
I have called money gram and did a fraud report as well as one with the FTC.
I do hope that these people are caught and put behind bars.
They contacted me Monday August 31, 2009
Watch oout. Once you send them money they will contact you within the next day telling you that the company that wants to approve your loan needs another 8 months paid up front. Then you will not have to make a payment for a total of 16 months. When you send them more money then they will call you again and tell you the same thing over and over again. They are trying to get as much money out of everyone that they can.
This is about the Kenworth Lending Group that a bunch of us were scammed by. I tried calling their phone number today and guess what? All the message says is "Goodbye"
These people have actually packed up and taken off or they have just disconnected their phone number until they come up with a new bogus company name.
Hi everyone. Please listen to me, not too late yet. Because i really had a bad experienced on this cmpany. Why?. This month of august, i was really desperate to get a personal loan, so i could pay my bills. At first, I applied to union loan company then after a couple weeks someone called me the tol free number is this 1.866.781.2871. The guy who left message on my voicemail sounds really professional and you know, he has more experienced what we all think. Then, i called him back to talk to him regarding about the loan that i'm interest in. We talked, he really got me so bad because the way he talk is really professionally. I talked to my brother if i can borrow the money for this much $1200. Sometimes, if we are really desperately, we gonna decide things right away, but, why? This kind of people are so crooked, i know that they want to make a living money easily, that's why they trying us to make beleieve them that they are real. But you know, god is not sleeping, who knows, tomorrow, might be next month or following 3 month, they'll receive a huge " KARMA", and watch if god's make a punishment to them, they cannot even hide or can't do anything about what they did to all of us. I'm not expecting to get my money back (they can have my money), as long my identity is safe and secured that's all it matter to me.
WHAT I LEARNED THE MOST ON THIS SITUATION, IS TO BE SMART TO ALL MY DECISION AND DON'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY, ASK AN ADVICE BEFORE YOU DO IT.
i also sent them money to secure a loan, only to be contacted by a Lawrence Blake who stated that i needed to send more money. when i told them that i did not have the money to send he asks me if i would like for him to start the refund process. i was told that my money would be refunded to me by a certain date, i have yet to see it. i attempted to call mr. blake but the company number has been disconnected. not really sure what i am going to do now, i have an infant daughter that i am trying to provide for. this company basically stole food out of my childs mouth. i hope once they are caught they are prosecuted to the full extent!
