He told a good story, but it was all a lie. He provide us with one source who no longer lended and one source who would not work with aschool with our school volume. After this he would not answer our phone calls or emails. We did get him on the phone once by using a private nyumber he did not recognize. I told him we still needed to start at sqare one and asked him to set up lennders as promised. he said he would contact the lenders and get back to me that afternoon. Of course he never did and again refused to answer clls and emails. I am a very small school and certainly could not afford to wate the funds we paid him with. I now realize he is all show and never intended to provide us with the service he promised. I know he has done this to many schools and would like to see us band together to sue him for fraud and misrepresentation.

Education Funding Scam

I also own a small cosmetology school. I could have written the above complaint verbatim. He scamed me in exactly the same way. However he only charged us $2700.00 plus expenses. We are out a little over $3300.00. I, too want him to repay me and cease doing thuis to small scools. What a ripoff he is.

Larry Beneke Financial Group advertises they will provide schools sudents with loans to attend school. He preys upon schools that do not have federal financial aid. He offers Universal Guardian Acceptance and Conrad Companies as the two loaning companies that he represents will give student loans to attend school. Upon further investigation these companies do not know Larry Beneke and he does not represent them in any way. They are accounting consultation companies and do not provide loans. He had us to sign a contract for $3,700 for his consulting fees and expenses up front which included his hotel, food and expensive liquor expenses. Once the contract is signed he says he has no obligation to you because his contract is binding whether he satisfies the contract or not and he is covered by Texas laws. The BBB represented Beneke as having a A+ rating which misleads schools to think his company is legitimate. Beneke refuses to arbitrate with BBB and our school.

Do not get tricked like we did! Please do not just rely on the BBB Rating.

The owner of Beneke financial Group sent me a letter advertising that he can help my cosmetology school with student tuition loans. My school is less than 2 years old and I am trying to expand my business and his loan program seemed helpful. He convinced me that there were guaranteed lenders that would be able to offer my students tuition loans even if I didn't have a large school. They would pay me the 70% of the tuition costs up front and the remaining 30% of the tuition would be paid monthly. This seemed like a great deal. He told me that I would have to pay for his travel costs up to my school as well as a $3750 onsite visit fee. I tried to pay this site fee with a credit card but he refused and said he only takes checks. He came all the way from Texas for only a 3 1/2 hour site visit where he presented us very out dated loan amortization schedules, old handouts with their loan process and application and told me that I needed to fill out all the paperwork and send it to a lender in CA. After I did everything that he required the lender that he instructed me to contact basically told me that my school was too small and I was wasting his time. He had no idea why the owner of Beneke financial group would match my school up with his loan company. After numerous unreturned calls, voice message and emails to the owner of Beneke financial group for what lender I should be dealing with, I believe he scammed me out of about $4600. As an owner of a small school this does not sit well with me at all. I don't want any other school or business to be scammed by him. He claimed that he had 21 people in his office in Texas and not one of his business numbers goes to anyone except his old cell phone. Where are his staff and how can he be reached? I want him to repay what he took from me and stop doing this to others.
