I submitted a search for a business loan. I received a call advising that I would qualify for the $7, 500.00 loan I applied for. This loan would be secured by advance payment, which would be applied to the first 6 payments. I wired the payment to Barrie, Ontario, to a Shawn Novello, I was advised that he was the private lender for this loan. I wired $1350.00, never received the loan, I tried calling back for a refund, they advised they would need more monet, I advised that I want to cancel the loan, They responded by telling me that I would receive the reund within 30 days. I have never received any funds back, and now face severe financial problems. I researched this company with the better business bureau, even contacted the Buffalo, Ny policy to check out the address.

I was approved for $7, 500 business loan. They requested an advance payment of $1350.00, collateral to be applied to loan principal-first 6 payments. Advised that this was a personal lender, the funds were to be sent via moneygram to a Shawn Novello, Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Funds were to wired to my checking account within 48 hours. When I called to check why the funds were not in my account, I was advised to contact customer service. Needless to say I have been able to speak with anyone, and no return calls. My loan representative was Kevin Wrighting, cell phone contact # 347-562-2648, there was also a 1-800-375-1405. I requested that funds should be deposited with 24 hours or else refund the advance payment. I contacted the Buffalo police department & asked that they check out the address, I was called back & informed that the business at this location was Blue Wireless.

I have filed reports with the FBI, & consumer relations Us/Canada-internet fraud. I received another call today from a Heritage lending, basically offering a loan, again asking for funds to be paid by moneygram-sent to Canada.
