I try not to get loans from other countries...I've found that to be inconvenient because their laws and rules are much different than ours...which could potentially screw you over...:-/

their area code is most likely an area code provided by those internet fax companies. Thay way all their documents are available in the computer. This is a VERY risky loan company in my opinion. Especially if they do not want to give out their name over the phone when you first call the 800#.

with the help with everyone here, i am able to make a good decision and not sent the money. i figure if i had sent the money like i was going to i would be in a much bigger mess that i am not.

I've learned my lesson with payday loan companies. Especially any loan company that has to be dealt with online. I will only got for the local loan companies. Actually I doubt I will ever have to go to antoher one again. Learning to save money has been a big thing I've started doing now, because you never know when you're going to end up having to move suddenly. Or get that job, then get laid off. Personal information, and protecting your credit is something you always want to worry about and protect!

Is anyone on this forum from the Philadelphia area or Eastern PA or NJ? If so, Doug Shimell from NBC10 would like to do a news segment on Prime Time Lending, the "phantom mortgage company". He would need someone who's willing to speak on camera. If you or someone you know who has dealt with Prime Time live in the area, e-mail him at Doug.Shimell(at)nbcuni.com with the subject header, "Prime Time Lending Scam".

By the way, the detective in Cambridge said that the server to their web site has been traced to Costa Rica and that they believe their phone system originates in Canada. Their address: "125 Cedar St" is where a creek runs. He said he's handed everything over to the Attorney General's office, where they have the tools necessary to actively investigate. Again, if you haven't done so already, call and write both the Attorney General in MD and the AG in the state in which you reside. They need the written version to keep you abreast of new developments.

So, again, if there is anyone in or near Eastern PA who has had an experience with Prime Time Lending, please notify Doug Shimell of NBC10.

Thanks

Razmpour, thanks for this useful piece of information. I am sure it will work and help many innocent people. Thanks again.

I received an email from colonialsft.net.I called them only to find out Guess What? They also require that you send a large downpayment Western Union in order to
get a loan.They approved me really quick so Im sure they dont even do a credit check.I laughed at them and told them thanks but one scam this year is enough for me and I didnt fall for the first one so I dont think I will be taking there offer.There must be hundreds of them out there.If anyone knows any more please post and put the name in the Subject so that if someone does a search it will come up with the name.If you do a search for Primetime Lending this site comes up first.Remember if it sounds to good to be true,you all know the rest.

I am so glad that this forum exists, unfortunately I was a victim of the primetime lending scam also. Luckily I only sent them $500. $500 that I really didn't have and borrowed from a freind to get. These people think that they are above the law and will not be caught. I am asking that anyone who has received loan documents from them whether you paid or didn't pay them any money to contact the following numbers. I received them from the Western Union Fraud dept. First and foremost you should contact the three credit bureaus and put fraud alerts on your accounts.
The numbers are- Experian- 1-888-397-3742
Equifax- 1-800-525-6285
Trans Union- 1-800-680-7289
Secondly you should call the Canadian Phone Busters and make a complaint with them. Their number is
1-888-495-8501,
Third you should call the Maryland Attorney General at 410-576-6300
Also go file complaint with the FBI Internet Fraud Dept website
and lastly file a complaint with the National Fraud Info Center at 1-800-876-7060. Oh one more thing you should do is file a complaint with the police dept and ask that they help you to obatain a subpeona. Once you get the police report and subpeona, those that have sent the money through western union, western union will give you the Identification used to get the money as well as the exact location of where the money was picked up from. Also if anyone wants to get in contact with me about this subject,

Thanks for the info, i will be filing complaints all over the place very shortly, it is time for them to be stopped, the get people's hopes up and it is really just a false dream. i knew it was too good to be true, and when you call you know that the company is fradulent, its just that when you really need it, you hope that the promise they are giving to you is true. i just cant believe on the last page of this contract it states that these funds are guranteed, im just curious to know is there anyone that has went all the way through and given them all the fees that they asked for and if there is anyone that has actually gotten any funds from them at all?

I called just to get sense about the company and was treated very rudely. A mashine ask for your name right off the bat..."whos calling please" and then your on hold. I assume they screen the calls to find out who they want to talk to. I'm glad I didn't mixed in with this company. My dad was telling me about a company he saw on the news (similar to the one I was telling him about) that has be scamming people. He shakes his finger at me and my internet lending tendancies. I've stopped, and have paid everything. Now I tell everyone...to wait. Creditors can wait an extra two weeks. It's much better that way. I'd much rather have that $50 (finance fee) in my pocket in two weeks.

Please keep the updates coming about this company.

Well I just wanted to inform everyone that I just got off the phone with a detective of the Cambridge Police Dept. He informed me that the address is in the middle of the marina and that since the address does not exist that they are unable to further investigate the situation. He also informed me that the 1-800-459-9049 that is listed on the website was traced to a Prince Edward Island in Canada. This means that Canada will have to be the ones to prosecute these jerks. Also he informed me that he has forwarded all of his reports to the Attorney general and that because of this scam, the website server has been informed that if this site is not pulled by this afternoon that they too will be reported to the FTC. So all of our efforts or at least the person who made the first call to the police has shut down this website. So to everyone who lost money including myself, my heart goes out to you, but hopeully these jerks will not be able to do this to anyone else. And being that the crime originated in Canada there is nothing that our local police can really do to help us.

Can't we contact the Parliment of Canada (their government) and make complaints. What about the FBI. I know that they track felons that leave the coutnry and bring them back. The crime actually originated in your hometown. Where the transacation took place. They were the ones who took the money and are now in "wherever". Can't he FBI do something about this now, since it's basically money laundaring (term/sp?).

Hell no they are not a good company. I've had to pay an insurance payment plus the first 3 months. Once I did that, they wanted a brokerage fee. I did that. They wanted an administrative fee. Bad customer service.
