I actually gave up.  I too really needed that money but instead I'm worse off than what I was and I'm trying to get back on my feet.  I tried calling the numbers as well back in November.  I was sure they would respond.  I poured on the waterworks and was very upset as I was trying to get this money.  They actually sympathized with me.

Just called back all 4 phone numbers I have for them (876-278-8908/877-212-5593/876-356-4779/877-889-1496) and they have all been disconnected.  The 30 days that i was told I would get my refund is getting close (11/19/12).  Still no word.

Has anyone made contact.

I am with you Mike, I am going to keep calling someone until I cannot reach anyone.  I have emailed this Amanda Spellman but she will not email me back.  And if anyone get anything just let me know.

Just an update for everyone.  I was able to contact this so called Mr.  Robert Brown at First International Lending Services.  He did call me back from the 876-278-8908 number (which if you call is disconnected) and go on to tell me how the $5000 was realeased but is being held for investigation into money laundering and it would caost a $400 transfer fee to the government (which they would pay half of) in order to release it.

I refused to pay the transfer fee and was told my original $491 plus western union fee would be returned to me within 30 days.  Im not holding my breath but i will keep calling until I get my money back.

Dont feel too bad.  We're all in the same position.  And are trying to get our money back.

Thank you

Wow..I have been dealing with Mr Robert Brown for two weeks now.
I am the idiot who sent him 750 then 900 then 1200. How completely
Stupid can I be.

I put two of the same phone numbers in
1-877-212-5593
1-876-356-4779

Try calling someone at 1-877-212-5593.  This number is also part of that group.  Another number is 1-877-212-5593 and I want to do something also.  This Mr. Brown told me that the money was going to be released on Monday, Monday came and went so did Tuesday until the finally said that I needed to send some more money.  I told him no, so he claim to get a refund it would take 30 days.

Just like the ladies above I was in a bind for cash so I agreed to western Union $491.07 plus the western union fee in order to get a guranteeed loan in my account that afternoon.  I knew it sounded too good to be true but I needed the money.  I was directed to a Mr Brown at 876-278-8908, and he guarnateed me I would have the money by 10/16/12.  Needless to say that day came and there was no money.  I made several contacts with him on 10/16/12 and 10/17/12 where he would say he was trying another lender.  He also told me if I wanted a refund it would take 30 business days.

I called today and now i get a messge the number is disconnected or no longer in service.  How and where are you ladies reporting these people? Reporting wont help my situation but I feel I need to do something.

I call everyday, I know that I made a big mistake but I am going to call everyday until I feel that I got my $500.00 worth.  I will be the first to say that I was very stupid.  But this really put me in a bad fix.

This is exactly my same situation.  I have been calling since last week.  Finally got someone yesterday stating that they were working on it and I wasn't the only one this had happend to.  Well, I called back again today, the guy (S. McIntosh) asked me if it was in my account.  I said no, he said he would call me back.  Gee what a surpirse, he never did and the money is still not there.

Who is this from?

Have you received anything yet

I spoke with Amanda Spellman, last week and she guaranteed that if I did what she ask me to do, the money would be into my account by the end of the day.  Now that was Friday, October 5, 2012.  When I called her back no answer, but eventually some man by the name of Mr. Brown (Robert), and he told me the money would be into my account by Wednesday which is today, October 10, 2012.  Now he says that he has to speak with some other lender, and it could take up to 3 business days.  I was already in a bad situation, but now I am even more.  I am going to report them also.  I have the paperwork that she emailed me.

Of course they know what they did to you! They don't care about anyone but themselves!! How much did you have to pay for this loan??

These are scammers calling from Jamaica.  Report them to the FTC:

Wow, I've been waiting for my loan since noon today.  Guaranteed that it would be in my account in 20 minutes.  Asked a rep to call me back.  No one did.  They have no idea what they've done to me and my life.  Just Awful.
