Ventana Consolidation Group reviews and complaints

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH VENTANA CONSOLIDATION GROUP OR THERE SISTER COMPANY, ELITE CONSOLIDATION GROUP. THEY ARE BOTH RIPPING OFF CONSUMERS OF THERE HARD EARNED MONEY. THE SAME PEOPLE WHO WORKS FOR VENTANA, ARE ALSO WORKING FOR ELITE. THEY WILL BOTH RIP YOU OFF BIG TIME!

I TOO, HAVE FALLEN VICTIM TO VENTANA AND I AM STILL KICKING MYSELF FOR FALLING FOR THERE SCAM. THEY MAKE IT LOOK LEGITIMATE, BUT, IT IS NOT. THEY RUINED MY HOLIDAYS WITH MY FAMILY.

IF YOU EVER RECEIVE ANY E-MAIL FROM EITHER OF THIS COMPANY, PLEASE DELETE IT. IF YOU GET A PHONE CALL FROM A HEATHER THOMASON, CYNTHIA BROWN OR A KEVIN, PLEASE JUST TELL THEM NO AND HANG UP. BETTER YET, TELL THESE PEOPLE THAT YOU WILL REPORT THEM TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES. AGAIN, I URGE YOU, TO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ANY COMPANY THAT WANTS YOU TO SEND THEM MONEY FOR COLLATERAL. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ANY COMPANY TO ASK THE APPLICANT TO SEND MONEY IN ADVANCE.

I too was contacted by this Heather Thomason back on Nov of 2008. She too promised me a preapproved loan for $25, 500.00. She asked me to send a money gram to Michael Blake in Alberta Canada, which I did in the amount of $3, 825.00. She then contacted me on Nov 20th that I needed to send an additional $1, 000.00 as a security deposit. Which I then refused and asked her to cancel the loan and send my money back. She said it would take her 30 days to refund me the money. I have been in contact with her for about a week and then she just plain never answered any of my messages or e-mails. It is Jan. 2, 2009 and I have never heard from her or Ventana again. I have contacted the FTC, but they say that there is nothing they can do for me. I have also contacted BBB, which won' t do anything because the company is not registered with them. DUH! if they were registered with BBB, you woulod think they will be legitimate. I have also contacted other consumer protection and there is nothing they can do but tske the complaint and file it.

So, beware fellow consumers. These scamming SOB's will just continue to stay in business and keep taking your hard earned money and no government, city, local or state can help you. Heather Thomason and Ventana ruined Christmas for my family, but they don't care. These people have no morals, no heart, and no compassion. Maybe someday, someone will get this people and maybe we will all get justice.

I was contacted by Heather Thomason about a $10000 loan with a 7.25% interest rate. First, she needed me to send a money gram to a Michael Blake in Canada. I sent the $1, 500 security deposit to Michael Blake. She then needed me to send $950 for an insurance deposit to Michael Blake. I then needed to send $1000 to Michael Blake for a 10% tax because it was a government loan. Heather Thomason, Madison Moore and Kevin insured me that as soon as these funds were received that I would receive the money in my bank account. I've been talking to Heather Thomason since November 20, 2008. I last spoke to Her on Friday, December 5, 2008. She said the funds would be in the bank account within 6-8 hours. I have not received any funds and have not been able to get in contact with them at all today.

The website 'Ventana Consolidation Group is still on the website' and the phone number of [protected] is still working as of today, December 8, 2008. I don't see how people think they can get away with this. They have ruined my Christmas for my children and I hope that they will be able to sleep at night. I have all documentation such as e-mails that were sent to me. I have money gram receipts also. Please help everyone who has been a victim of this scam to get their funds back.
