Fictitious company that scams money

Complaint Rating:

We applied for a personal loan for $5,000 & had to wire $850 to make the loan happen. The loan never happened & we requested a refund which also never happened. Dominion Lending Inc. must be a fictitious company that scams money & I would love to take them down!

Some people desperate for money for Christmas gifts have turned to a loan company, but instead say they were ripped off. And a legitimate upstate company says it's good name was ripped off, too.

Dominion Financial Services is a legitimate credit counseling and investment company in Greer. But President Curtis Miller has been getting strange phone calls.

Said Miller, "She was a female in the military and she said her children were not going to have Christmas now because of the money that she sent, that she was expecting to get the loan before Christmas."

Dominion Financial Services is not a loan company. Miller discovered an operation in Canada, Dominion Lending, Inc, was using his address, 211Trade Street in Greer. The Better Business Bureau says the Canadian operation copied parts of the website for another legitimate company, Dominion Lending in Canada, onto it's website, too.

The BBB says it's received complaints from customers across the country who say they paid nearly $1000, but never received a loan, like Valerie Mitchell in Cleveland, Ohio.

Said Mitchell, "I have a handicapped son at home and my daughter and I took every penny both of them had to get this paid.... So they were hurt, I was hurt."

We called the lending operation, Dominion Lending, Inc., but had to leave a message.

The Better Business Bureau says advance fee loans are illegal and showed us how to recognize doctored websites.

Kathy Barrett, President of the BBB, showed us a company logo on a website, "This information is very fuzzy, which means it's been cut and pasted."

Dominion Financial Services in Greer says while his company's identity was stolen, his clients are safe.

Said Miller, "None of my clients information has been released, none of my clients are in danger. It's just disheartening that there are people using our name to do that."

News Channel 7 has not received a call back from the lending operation. The Greer Police Department had the operation's website shut down.

Remember you should not have to pay an advance fee for a loan. You can check out a loan company with the Better Business Bureau or the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs before you do business.

Sorry to say, you were scammed.

My wife just had the same thing happen to her. She was contacted by a United Companies Lending Corporation (obviously just a front name). They told her she qualified for a $5,000 loan and faxed her paperwork. She was told she had to send a payment of $750 for some type of "security" of the loan. She never discussed this with me and did it all on her own. The money was supposed to be in the bank this morning instead they took out $750 from her account and western unioned it to someone and we're out of luck. Unbelievable.
