First Amerigo reviews and complaints

I am trying to get a small loan directly deposited into my checking acct-I started dealing w a man named Andy Hoffman, then he left and now im dealing w a Mr, Mark Watson, if thats he's real name-i got burned bad a few years back by a car internet scheme and they got me for over $3500.00-the cops were never able to trace them, u r suppose to get a green dot money pack card, and put 10% of whatever u qualify for on it only for approx 45 min then your loan officer(mark in my case)will call u back n let u know the funds have been released and the money is in your checking or savings acct-your choice-so i do this-everything goes as planned-Mr Mark calls back n tells me the finanacial dept needs to deposit that $200(from the green dot money card) into my checkings due to my credit rating being so low-no surprise to me(two divorces...)i agree because i'm still getting it back, 2 min later another call saying the financial dept said they had already deposited the money but i didn't have access to it at this moment-i needed $200 more dollars on another money card and they would release the funds within 20 min-so please, anyone reading this, please take time to give me your honest opinion because i have dealt w another conpany(very small) over the internet unsecured loan n the funds were there within the hour i just need a higher amount to get caught up on everything-I REALLY WANT TO DO BUISNESS W FIRST AMERIGO-even if u work w the company give me some input-this branch has been doing buisness for over 6 years now!But coming up w another $200 if its a scam will just ruin my families Christmas, but if its legite, as i hope it is, i'll be fine because i am mom and dad in my family, always have been-so i have 5 sets of little eyes looking up at granny this year, , , Thank you, R Brevaldo

On Oct. 22 I contacted First Amerigo looking for a quick loan to open my small business. I paid the $299 registration fee and was told there were no other fees. About a week later I rec'd a "First Amerigo Contract" that states I must pay an additional 9.9% of the amount I am funded. I refused to sign and asked for the $299 to be refunded. About 2 weeks later, after several emails and phone calls to First Amerigo, "Anthony" (a finance director) called me and left a message promising to make me happy with either a loan or a refund. He also requested to wait until Dec. 20 because that's when "lenders get aggressive to make their portfolios look good". I returned his call immediately and said "NO. I WANT MY MONEY BACK. I CANNOT WAIT ANOTHER MONTH". It is now Jan. 14 and my calls are still unreturned. I still have Anthony's voice message, by the way.

On August 30th 2009 I posted a complaint about First Amerigo, a loan company research provider that spent over a month processing my loan application, with no results.

Apparently due to my “geographical location”, First Amerigo service agent research efforts were hindered.

I was pleasantly surprised to be contacted by First Amerigo and informed I would be receiving a full refund, although their service agreement with me implies no such guarantees.

I must admit, I am impressed with the integrity displayed by the financial professionals of the First Amerigo organization and would highly recommend their services to others.
