Hello All,
I have a similar situation, I am looking for a business loan for my start up company. I found First City Banking www.firstcitybanking.com located in ontario, canada. I was sent a contact that advised that because of my credit score I was approved but have to pay the first two monthly payments up front. I have done research on this company and have found nothing. They advise they are backed by the BBB but no record has been found yet. Has anyone heard of them?
Also I was a victim right before Christmas of an investor fraud.I had been working with the GO BIG NETWORK for quit a long time. I was contacted by an investor and about 6 months later we finally settled with a 3 phase investment. I did research and they were backed by the GO BIG NETWORK. After many conversations by phone and email he advised a check was to be sent to me. I recieved the check and notified him that I got it. I then deposited in my business bank account. When I got the check I contacted the bank that it was drawn from and they advised that the account was in good standing and open. Because of the large amount my bank put a hold on it for 2 weeks. After two days I went to try to use my personal check card and is was declined. I contacted the bank and they notified me that a fraud check was deposited into my business account and because of this and their policies they put a freeze on all of my 3 bank accounts. After 10 days they will shut them down send me the remainder in my personal accounts and I am no longer to do business with them. All of this happen on Dec 23rd, and of course I just had my paycheck direct deposit. So no money for about a week in and a half until I recieved another paycheck. I ended up filling a report with the local authorities, the FBI, and the bank is automatically doing an investigation. All that I built up with that bank for years went down the drain in just 2 days! Believe it or not the investor stills contacts me to try to send him proof that it was a fraud check with a letter from my past bank.
Its hard to trust anyone or any company with anything now a days even with doing research!
Hope this helps someone.......
