I too fell 4 this scam....I also googled this address and it's not a true business address to say the least. This fake company has no partnership with First Financial in any manner. I even had my lawyer call them. My next step is legal action hopefully. This number should be traceable.

rec'd a call from Sean Marsh (indian dialect) from "1st financial" informing me my application has been approved.  I had been searching for loans, so when I asked for a refresh of the details as I did not recall that particular bank, he passed me to "michael carter" (non american dialect) and informed me I was approved and based on what I
wanted to borrow, he'd quote me a rate and term.  catch was I had to pay upfront $150
bucks , but wouid get it back in the loan proceeds.  He then rattled off some FDIC legal
BS about requirements for this to be legit.   way too ez in my mind, so I started searching
the phone # and landed here.  BEWARE folks.

I received a call from this number and he said that his name was Ben Williams, and that I was approved for a loan for $1000. Since I had been searching for a loan this was great news and without doing any research on the company I did what he told me to which was sent him $200 for what he was calling a processing fee to send me my money. At this point he told me it would take him about 2 hours and he would get back in touch with me. I had to call him back and he said that I would have to pay an additional $366 for some mess about an FDIC Insurance. I thought to myself that a total of $566 for a 1000 loan, I was still going to come out good because he said he would reimburse the 200 that I had previously sent. Luckily I got a little weary when he was not answering my calls and I did some research and found out this was a scam. I contacted the police and filled a report. I also contacted the company that he was using to receive the money which was NetSpend and they put a hold on his account and froze all of his funds so he is not able to even use his money right now. You will be pleased to know that he is currently under investigation through the San Fransisco, California Police department because of my report. He will be in Jail before the end of the week. He will not be scamming people anymore.

Yes I too fell for his scam. Ben Williams 1-415-323-0253 out of San Francisco told me that the police were going to break down my door and arrest me if I did not pay him 1100.00. We need to stop this guy anyway possible.

David,
How do you report these people because they got me for $200. All I am trying to do is see my son in SC so I got desperate and started looking on the internet. Your post is exactly what I went through. Please help, thanks
