Goatfundinggroup Anmeldelser 

I don't want to say much; they removed my review before as well, but I just wanted to say this is a scam.

In June 2025, an OFN National Escrow Services, LLC (associated with GOAT Funding Group) escrow staff member, Donna Hinkle, referred me to a third-party funder and owner of Elysium Private Equity, McClain Bell. She told me she had known him for years, that I could trust him, and repeatedly reassured me that the funding would go smoothly. On the day of funding, she was calling and texting me frequently, urging me to send the wire as soon as possible.

Relying on her assurances and the apparent credibility of OFN and its affiliates, I wired $1,000,000 and later an additional $80,000 to their escrow account for a promised $75M funding line from her referral. I was also shown information on the MFG website reflecting around $25M that I was told was connected to this transaction but cannot be accessed.

As of today, in May 2026 almost year into it, I have not received the promised funding. Despite many follow-ups with both Donna Hinkle and the referred funder McClain Bell, I still have no clear timeline, no transparent explanation of where my money is, and no delivery of the funding that was the entire purpose of these wires.

What is most disappointing is how quickly the level of engagement changed once my funds were sent. Before the wires, Donna Hinkle was highly responsive, persuasive, and actively encouraging me to proceed. After the money left escrow, her position shifted to "there is not much I can do," and she has offered very limited help or accountability, even though her recommendation and pressure were a major reason I moved forward.

This is a serious breach of trust and extremely poor handling of a client relationship. I feel misled and completely unsupported after wiring a very substantial amount as shown attached based on the referral and assurances I received from OFN's representative.

I have full documentation of my wires, emails, texts, and other correspondence. If this is not resolved promptly, I am prepared to share my experience and documentation with regulatory and law-enforcement bodies, including but not limited to the FBI, FTC, SEC, USPIS, FinCEN, BBB, the Arizona & Texas Attorney General, Arizona & Texas Department of Financial Institutions, Arizona & Texas Corporation Commission - Securities Division, and local law enforcement.

The concerning part is that in December 2025, McClain Bell re-engaged, claiming that funding was now in place. Although I had serious doubts based on past experience, I chose to give him the benefit of the doubt and, in good faith, removed my prior reviews and gave him another opportunity.

He then connected me with a lender based in the UK. However, when the funding deadlines approached, he once again became unresponsive and ultimately disappeared from communication.

At the same time, his associate at Momentum Financial Group, Redell Vincent Napper Jr., requested additional funds in the tune of $500k without providing any clarity or accountability. This only reinforced my concerns about the integrity of the entire arrangement.

Given that my trust has now been broken twice under similar circumstances, I am reinstating my reviews to accurately reflect my experience.

At this point, I cannot recommend working with Donna Hinkle or this company or with the individuals involved in my transaction. I sincerely hope they choose to resolve this situation by either delivering the agreed funding or returning my funds in full plus demurrages, but until then, I feel a duty to warn others to be extremely careful and to perform very deep due diligence before wiring any money.
