To whom it could HELP! <br />
<br />
I don't know how to start this complain or how it might end. I just know that I can't hold it anymore. This might be a big "scam" that might not only be hurting me but also hurting lots of more people in the Arizona community. <br />
I am a single American mother who grow up in a different country and with a different culture. I grow up in Venezuela, in a very catholic house. I came to USA and I had the opportunity in many occasions to see that I could count with a lot of people after I got divorced, and I did not have a family member to be supported by. <br />
I do not have much education about finances but after my divorce there was something I kept clean and safe. Thas was MY CREDIT SCORE. Thanks to that I had about 30k dollars I could use in Credit Cards and Credit Lines. I had learned to trust people and that is why when I met people like Kenneth Carreon or Sergio Ordaz, family family men and with high "religious" believes, I blindly trusted them. Sergio had a Business with a Financial Partnership company (Phoenix Financial Partners). This two gentlemen told me that they would used the money and without affecting my credit or life I would get a safe returned within two or three months, that was in Jan, 2009. I learned by March, Sergio had a business linked to pornography, they said they were to get a CPN and the person to get that was keeping them in hold. Every time I asked what is this all about they say I was to keep us safe and they talked about all the investments they were going to be able to do once we got this. NOTHING YET, but in the mid time I got a letter from a bank saying NO to a loan for a expensive car (Expedition) I had never applied for, but they have applied for me without my permission.<br />
They started to ignored my phone calls, claiming that Sergio's iPhone was broken. I went to the office were we did the transactions (April 2009) and the office was empty. I went to the address at the website and it was a P.O Box office (May 2009) . Kenneth Carreon has a young son, Jose Carreon, who was the only one to answer the phone. Every time he ANSWER they were in the way to a meeting with investors. Another couple was hurt on the same way, Tom and Rita. They also got money out for them but not 25K as I did. They lied to me in very different ways, all three of them DID SINCE THE VERY BEGINING. I cried; they said; I waited; I hoped; they promised, I felt scared and I still do... I don't know what to do.<br />
I went to a third office place ( July 2009) and there is nobody there. The neighbors say they have been gone for a while. I am scared. I know I am not the only one, but I don't want them to leave with my money and the money of so many others, AND LEAVE US IN BIG DEBT. <br />
I have been paying interests for these since January and I have NO money left. Not even to pay for my son's dental treatment. My CREDIT SCORE is on its way to the grown. I work as an admin making $1400 dollars a month. I had to get another credit card to pay for our bills and my child's school supplies. <br />
I did not do anything before. First, because I still have faith that they know my situation and they will stop this game and second, because I have NO money to pay to a lawyer or anybody. I am also very embarrassed to tell any of my friend, they will tell me I what I have heard over and over again... "Stop being so naive"<br />
<br />
I have some documents, phone numbers and address that might or might not help much but I would love for SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS.<br />
<br />
<br />
PLEASE, DO NOT hesitated to contact me and the help will be grandly appreciated, <br />
