I'm with ya..I've been harrassing them also..I didn't fall for it..but older pepole might. I've reported them to everyone I can...I'm in virginia

Michele they are a scam they scammed me the same day you posted this. I had to report to my local police. They keep disconnecting and reconnecting their phone. Scott Parsons and Corey Joseph is the same person and they will keep calling and harrassing as they do to me after i caught them in the scam.

I have been contacted by a Company by the name of Golden Gate Mutual telling me that I have been approved for a $10,000 loan.  However, they said that they need a $525.00 security deposit prior to me getting my loan funds would be sent to my account.  
The reps name is Scott Parsons and the phone number is 1-888-246-6064 ext. 205.

The loan documents that I received are signed by a Kelly M. Williams, President of Golden Gate Mutual.

Has anyone else heard of this company?

This is a total scam.  Got an im from them and did some research.   Their "web site" is a fake and a few minutes after i first checked it, the ip address was no longer avaiable.  and they are now using a new phone #619-2125747.  Do not let them scam you.

i was just about to look into getting a loan and i found this sight thank you all

got an e-mail from Golden Gate Recovery Group!

I lost 1,500  to a guy named Anthony cumberland, do not send them any money they are a SCAM i was 8  months pregnant about to lose my car so i was desperate, i used my financial aid i got for school to pay"up front fees" and i never saw the money again.

if you go to the Western Union office and pick up money like the email said (if it is really there), how do they get money from you?

I received the same email as everyone else here, I feel for it and lost money. Yesterday I received another email telling me that I was going to be compensated by the Nigerian Government. Guess who's name was on this email!! Anthony Carmelo and a KuoLing Yang Crowder they are two of the people I talked to at GGRG. I am supposed to go to Western Union and collect the money, but I checked the MTCN and it is bogus. I have filed with the MN AG's office and Secret Service.

I to was stupid enough to fall for this, but I was desperate.

yea i to was scammed i was supposed to get my refund on the week of thanksgiving and nothing. i to dealt with anthony cumberland. now their phone line is disconnected. Is there anything we can do to get our money back?

Is there anything people who lost money can do about this?

I was scammed out of 1040.00 dollars for a loan I was promised.  My agent name was Roy Thompson.  If there is anything that can be done please let me know.  my email address is buckeyedaddy0@gmail.com

these people cant go so far.....eric wilkerson and anthony cumberland, those were the 2 i dealt with.  if anybody can help please let me know.....

Michele and others who got scammed:  Don't feel stupid.  I got scammed, too.  Eric Wilkerson and James Carter were the people who kept calling me.  After I sent in my $732 as collateral against my loan.  The loan amount they were to send me, as shown in the contract, was never issued to me.  They later told me it was not issued because they declined my request!  I requested my $732 back since I was declined.  James said I would have to wait until 12/1 or 12/15 as that is the only date they send checks.  I should have known better, but I was desperate for the requested loan.  My clue should have been when they wanted the $732 for collateral and then they requested my collateral be sent by Money Order to Canada.  Scam, Scam.  I just wanted to pay some bills with the loan I requested.  I filed a fraud compliant with Western Union and FBI IC3 unit on 11/15 & 11/23.

OH YES, PEOPLE THIS IS A REAL SCAM , I AM A VICTIM, AND LOST $540.00
AS OF LASTWEEK, THE 2 GUY THERE ARE ERIC WILKERSON, AND ANTHONY CUMBERLAND...THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED, ANY HELP???????
CONTACT ME @ ATLBROKERSGA@GMAIL.COM

Michele and others who got scammed:  Don't feel stupid.  I got scammed, too.  Eric Wilkerson and Dennis House were the people who kept calling me.  After I sent in my $500 as collateral against my loan.  The loan amount they were to send me, as shown in the contract, was never issued to me.  They later told me it was not issued because they declined my request!  I requested my $500 back since I was declined.  Eric said I would have to wait until 12/1 or 12/15 as that is the only date they send checks.  I should have known better, but I was desperate for the requested loan.  My clue should have been when they wanted the $500 for collateral and then they requested my collateral be sent by Money Order to Canada.  How stupid I was.  I just wanted to pay some bills with the loan I requested.

I was contacted by a Nancy Woods telling me my loan had been approved.  She requested I send her a copy of my driver's license, income proof, and bank info.  After checking the site, I sent this info.  She then sent me a contract to sign and return which I did.  Then I had to call their number and punch in 0 for their accounting department who she said would explain to me how to get the money in my account.  She did inform me that I had to pay $500 for two months of payment to show that I could make the payments.  I called and got Eric Wilkerson who told me to go somewhere who did western union and then call him and he would tell me the name of the lender to send it to (Alyssa Mohammad, Ontario, Canada).  The next day I contacted him and he told me the lender would not loan the money unless I took out insurance - another $500.  Dummy me sent another $500 via western union to Alyssa Mohammad.  I called Eric Wilkerson every day after that and got - info sent priority mail with no tracking number.  I should receive it no later than Friday, etc. etc.  So today I called to ask Eric where it was and phone number is disconnected and their on-line account has been suspended.  Now, I will be contacting our Attorney General and Identity Theft.  I know my money is gone forever.  I guess I was in such dire straits to get a loan that I missed some clues.  Very expensive lesson.

BEWARE!!! this is a major scam. My husband and I were contacted as well and were desperate enough to try this company. We in turn lost 800 dollars and now the number is disconnected.

Roy Thompson sent me an email.  Yeah I got scammed to. Took my money. Sent out loan papers.  Said  money will be coming priority mail. no tracking number.  Fell hard for this scam. Forward all loan papers to Anthony Cumberland. He has been calling.  Now the 888# is no longer in service and the web site has been suspended.  Boy was I stupid.

ya its kind of funny now if you try to call them or get on their web page everything is disconnected. Ya if you did fill out the papers and sent them back you need to cancel everything they are scammers and they will take everything you own.

I got the same forms as well then did further investigation.  If she filled it out and sent it back they need to cancel the bank account they gave asap.  They just called me again, and Iaid all the facts out that what I found out about them and hung up on me.  They said they could not even provide me the bank name since they do not have access to that.  How odd is that.

my very close friend was contacted by anthony  cumberland  and i thought maybe it was a scam but then he faxed papers for her to sign so then it seemed more real but boy they really know how to play people

That is the same guy that I have been dealing with and its a scam took my money and I will never see it

Ok so I called BBB and the General Attorney Office from my state and they are scam.  That is sad when a midwest state got hit big time with them that Nebraka Attorney General has had multiple complaints.  I also contacted my Uncle who works for the FBI to see see if he could get more info, and yea not good if the FBI has nothing good to say about them.

Thank you.  The more research I do the odder this gets.  To think I was almost stupid enough to fall for this.

I will forward this to the CA AG tomorrow morning.  I have a whole laundry list of people from this site to whom I am doing this.

Stacie is right, asking for money up front before you get the loan is illegal as described in this FTC page http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/telemarketing/tel16.shtm which states: "It is illegal for companies doing business in the U.S. by phone to promise you a loan and ask you to pay for it before they deliver." Never Western Union money to strangers because wired cash is irretrievable.
