Victim of Financial Fraud

@marcg6, I'm sorry to hear you've been scammed.

It would not be a good idea to send any more money. Even if you notified the RCMP of the address where you sent it, the sad fact is that a wire transfer can be picked up anywhere - no matteer where you say you're sending it.

Hi marcg6,
That is true. Do not send any more money. North Atlantic asks you to use the green and white forms at Western Union because they can not be easliy traced. Western Union will tell the police where the money got picked up, but by then it is too late. You can be sure that the names of the people picking up the money are fake. As a Western Union agent said, they can always use fake ID.
As mentioned in a previous post, I located the phone number and fax number of North Atlantic by using several reverse phone look up services. The numbers are unlisted but I was able to get the LAT. & Long. co-ordinates. The fax number is located at 612 n. Jackson St., Arlington, Va. 22201. You can see by using Google Earth street view that this is a house on a residential street. The phone number is located in a business park at 540-596 Van Buren Street, Herndon, Va. 20170. Google Earth shows State Route 666 runs alongside the complex and then changes to Van Buren at the corner. There is a Grace Robinson living in Herndon but do not know if she is the one identifing herself as Sharon's supervisor. Hope to know more by the end of the week. I have been harassing these people since I realised it was a scam. I have been letting them know a little at a time that I am finding out more about them in an attempt to get a response from them. I want them to make a mistake. They have caused me a lot of problems and I am really bitter about what happened. I want more from them than just their site taken down.

This is very true. I was a victim of this scam. I was asked to wired $700 to Andrea White in Cornwall, Canada. I was told that the money would be deposited into my bank account once the wire was complete. Since this time I have been unable to get in contact with Sharon Howard (866-927-7028 ext. 319). When I dial ext. 100 I get an answering machine. I called 30 times yesterday and left 20 messages and did not get a response back. Everytime I called Ms. Sharon she would pretend as if the computer is down and she would beat on the keys and put me on hold as if she had another call coming in. I called and left a very ugly message on her voicemail that stated I was going to contact whomever I needed to get the word out about this fraudulent company and there illegal activities. This is the first time this has happened to me and I am totally disgusted. I now have to change all of my information.

Sincerely,

Another one out there is being called 'Emerson"...we just got a call from them wanting 884.00 upfront to get a loan for 9000.00......definetely a scam. We told them where to go

Glad you spotted it for what it was. Did you get any other information--website, phone # off caller ID, name of caller, etc.? The more information out there, the better the chance of preventing someone else being scammed.
