Is there anyone else that sent money to him, and did anyone get their money back. I have all the emails I sent to him, Sarah Mitchell and the money gram receipt that went to Evelyn Morgan, what should I do?

tiamaria,
These criminals are not in the habit of getting their money back.
I did interview a lady who was smart enough to quickly get her money back from western union before the scam artists picked it up.

It's a good listen if you want to try to get your money back, and you're not too late.

Hi

I actually filled out a application for a loan with Robert Pennington as well, and even sent him the money for the deposit. Has anyone ever sent money to him for the deposit and did you ever get it back?

Sounds like it would be a good time to give them a call.

HI

I just had an experience with direct finance and This Robert Pennington.This just happened yesterday May 8th that i was approved for a loan of 10,000 but i had to give them 1000 deposit through the money gram thing.I was scrambling to get the money for them, It is a very good thing that my sister is a banker here and told me that the company was a scam.I sent him all my info that he requested but i was so excited to be getting the loan that i had requested.Has anyone had any problems with their info being used by them? Should i report him? I emailed him back and called him on it and i haven't heard anything back so that is a good thing.Thank goodness that i have a banker in my family.

Hi I can't tell you how glad I am that I loged on here. I was and am a fool Mr Pennington just e-mailed me and I was so happy I was approved that I borrowed the money to send the money gram to Sarah Lewis in B.C.

How can they get away with a scam like this? I even faxed in the agreement and client information It's sad that when you hit bottom you can sink even deeper.

Wow, if there was ever a website that screamed "SCAM" this one is it. The domain was registered just over one month ago, there are no phone numbers or fax numbers to contact the company and no physical address listed on the website and the application isn't secured at all.

It's not even a very attractive website. You'd think they'd put a little more effort into things!

It's illegal for a company to ask for money up front on a loan application. This is clearly a scam site.
