This is appears to be a pretty wide-spread operation with people all over the U.S. reporting that they were scammed by an outfit that was known as “Centerline Financial Group” that claimed to be located in St. Louis.
Despite the claim that they were located in St. Louis, the people behind the operation were actually in Canada, where a lot of loan-related and sweepstakes scams seem to be originating lately.
Most consumers who are claiming to be victims of this scam tell a story similar to this:
They had a poor credit history and usually found it difficult to obtain loans. Some of them had hoped to rebuild their credit by taking out a loan to pay off all their bills.
Some of them were promised a 24-hour turnaround and were told they would have the money the day after they were approved. Naturally, for people who had a hard time getting loans, this was pretty exciting news and this is just what the typical scam artist wants. Making decisions based on emotions during times like this can be very dangerous.
