Very sorry to hear about your troubles with this company. Any company that requires money up front before processing a loan is very likely a scam ("Advance Fee Scam") and please report them to the appropriate authorities. "Ridgeway Financial" is NO WAY associated with Bridgeway Financial Corporation. Thank you.

I didn't answer.

A guy just called me and gave me a different call back number...1-877-254-9450 ext. 345, "Mr. Rossman (Rothman?" is all he would give me!

oops, the number is 514.940-0213

This number was on Craigslist: 514.940-0123
When I called, It was a message which simply said" "Ridgeway Financial." And then it beeped for me to leave a message. I'm moving in about a week, so I did. If they call back, I'll try to get info.
But let me just say this.
1_ Why the heck would good folks like you use the internet to complain about being scammed instead of using it to do your homework BEFOREHAND!?
2_ Why would a company in business to make loans need your measly $15,000 or $800 or whatever?
I'll try to help because I think these people should go to jail, but I can't really say I feel sorry for people who will compare the price of chicken at the supermarket, yet send strangers your life savings.
I guess common sense isn't so common after all.

Sorry you were taken so were me and my brother, hopefully they will get caught and pay for what they did to us, destroyed our Christmas and now our credit is shot

Yeah and the person that the money was wired to is emily nielsen

Yeah we been scamed too when you call the number it says good buy now I am out 1200.00 bucks

I am also sorry for your loss of money, but hopefully they will be brought to justice

We were told that the name they used for the money to be sent to Canada is a person that has passed away, they may of stole that persons identity, how sad is that

We have been in contact with our state officials in Ohio and Kansas, also the FBI and they are working on it, they said they wish more people would speak up

Were you ever able to get any of them to return you phone calls or to answer your calls?

Were you able to get any further any information of where they are located?

I have been a victim of scam myself and was promised money of a loan of 15,000.00 and never receved it like promied. I invested way too much money into it like they said it was apart of the collarteral and nothing came of it. I am locted in MD and therefore its a little bit harder for me to try to pree charges. I have gone to the Maryland State Atorney General whuch led me to the FBI. does anyone else have else have any other suggestions? I want these guys caught!

scam,been report to fbi and bbb. fill report as soon as possible,

I also lost a lot of money to Ridgeway Financial.  I was really stupid and I really know better, but when you are desperate you do stupid things.  I will never do this again.  We also filed a Fraud Complaint with Money Gram and they are investigating.  I filed a complaint with www.FTC.gov/sentinel for internet fraud.  Called local authorities and FBI.  Hopefully these theives will be caught before the scam more desperate people. Hope you still have Happy Holidays

I too was scamed and they took me for alot of money. If you get a call from these people contact the FBI, the BBB, and any other orginization that you can think of and report them.

I received a call from Timothy Rowe (x352) about a week after I filled out a loan application with Credit.com, a loan matching service. Unfortunately, the timing was coincidental - these Ridgeway Financial folks are complete scam artists. It is illegal (which I did not know at the time) to request any kind of advance fee for a loan. Once I sent the $900 to these people, I got a call the next day asking for another $900 in order to receive my loan, or to terminate the loan and receive a refund of my advance fee. That refund was supposed to arrive in the mail today. I'm not surprised that it did not...or that nobody from Ridgeway seems to be answering the telephone today.

Long story short, STAY AWAY FROM RIDGEWAY! The company does not actually exist, and these crooks are ripping people off left and right. You'd think they'd have a little more compassion during the holiday season, but it seems not. If you have received a call from them, report them to the FBI. Its a simple online form, it will only take you five minutes.

Complete Scam Do not send any money, these people have to be stopped i am going to put it on Rip off report .com also...

Ridgeway Financial Group is a COMPLETE SCAM, and i too lost money and reported them to internet crimes unit, and the Kansas state attorneys office got back to me and the IP address is in Singapore.. DO NOT and i repeat do not send this co ANY money and report your loss to the FBI and any other agency, they are trying to track these people down, sorry about your financial loss...

I recently sent them alot of money also, did those who sent the money ever get their loans?

thanks to everyone who filed a complaint

i got contacted from timothy rose from ridgeway fiancial and was told i was pre approved for a 20000 loan- all i had to do was send 1700 and the money would be in my aacount the next day- after a little research i found many complaints that were lodged against them- i am a full time student and thank goodness i did not send the money- beware!

I almost went for this scam but decided to check further after they asked me for money...I was contacted by a Ryan Massey and was told I could get the $5000 if I sent the $885 in advance...thank goodness I didn't do this!!!!!

Don't be a victim.  If it is too good to be true, it is.  Let it go.

I was contacted by a Timothy Rose at the same phone number. 1-877-570-2846.  He told me I could get a loan of 5000 if I send 900 for an advance of four months.  he told me 225 a month would be my payment. luckily I spoke with my mother who told me to look it up online first. thanks for saving everything I have.

Please inform me if anyone of you has actually recieved money.  i'm in a crunch and really need this loan.

I am so sorry to all of you who have been taken from this so called business.  My husband and I were almost taken and it seemed good to get a loan at this time with the economy the way it is.  We looked into the co. with the BBB and read that it was a scam and the server was out of Singapore.  The report from the BBB states to contact the Wichita BBB and to file a complaint with the FBI.  If you have the company name and address city and state you can read about them and follow the right channels to file a complaint.
