Omega Financial Trust a scam, warns Govt.

You would be lead to believe by its website that Omega Financial Trust is a professional outfit. It sports all the familiar trappings of a financial website. The very first thing you see is its business address displayed right at the top: 212 New County Road, Suite C, Thomaston, Maine. Everything seems to be in order.
However, as was uncovered recently, the company, for one thing, does not actually inhabit the mentioned address. The address, in fact, houses the Department of Corrections for probationers and parolees, and sundry other establishments.
The Thomaston Police revealed the company was operating a scam. The company claimed to provide credit to those with dire need of the same. It promised loans from $5,000 to $100,000 in a convenient and fast manner. It was easy to avail of the loan too. One only had to deposit a small installment upfront to the company. However, as it turned out for a few of their customers, people who sent money were kept waiting for their loans which never materialized.
Moreover, last week, two victims of the company, one from California and the other from Arizona, contacted the Thomaston Police Department and provided a new angle into the scam. They allege the company to be draining money from their personal bank accounts and transferring it to a bank account in Ontario, Canada.
The police could only offer their sympathies as the criminals were operating from a place that was beyond their jurisdiction. They are urging people who have anything to report on the scam to contact the FBI or lodge a complaint with its internet wing, the IC3.

July 11th, 2008 at 1:52 pmI was a victim of the Omega Financial Trust Scam from back in 1999..A bunch of my friends and collegues were scammed also. WE all decided to get in on it together…and we all lost our money together.
A man by the name of Clyde Hood and a circle of other criminals made it sound too good to be true…..$100.00 per unit and in the end each unit baught would give us $700,000.00…Too good to be true right? YES IT WAS.
Needless to say Clyde Hood and his circle of criminals were all put in prison for the scam and we were never able to recover the money stolen and spent by them.
I just received an email from “THE OFFICE OF THE SENATE HOUSE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NOGERIA COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN PAYMENT” Wow, we thought maybe it is all happening. It was all most word for word how our payout was going to happen. An ATM card woudl be sent to you, we were under a gag order(no talking to anyone about this) and we coudl only withdraw a set amount every 24 hours. Oh my God it was finally happening and all our prayers had been answered…..WRONG!!!!!
It is yet another scam from what I can see. Several emails with the same wording from the same office, but different official’s names. I do not understand how this is allowed to happen to innocent hard working people.
Our government should be doing something to protect us.
Well I just wanted to let people know the Omega Trust and Trading thing is a definate SCAM!!!!!
Clyde Hood is still in a Federal Prison in Illinois where he should stay until he is dead, but they only gave him 14 years.
Plenty of time to think up new scams and carry them out from either prison or when he gets out in a few years.
