GOOD DECISION
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.
so thank u much
personal information
i just wish that there was a way to get my personal information back, im very worried about that.

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!
news segment
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
Razmpour, thanks for this useful piece of information. I am sure it will work and help many innocent people. Thanks again.
Colonial State Funding Group is a Scam also
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,

PRIME TIME LENDING
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 ver
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.
Primetime lending
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
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?).
prime time lending
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.

we can still track these people, even if we track them all the way to Canada, the FBI wont do anything unless we can prove its a matter of homeland security. Then the Feds get involved the internet is a big place. I say we find every hacker we know and and get them to trace them for a change.

I say we get a hacker and get a little payback. As computer literate and resourcefull we all are, I'm sure we can track these suckers down. There is something that is always a constant, all we have to do is pool our experiences together and we can catch them even if it faking an application. Greed makes people slip up, look what it did to us.
i've wondered about that. even by doing a trace on the IP addre
i've wondered about that. even by doing a trace on the IP address, they can make it to where it's in another country, like with Sonic...thats coming from Dublin. But I serisouly doubt they have an office out there. Why would they need an address in Norfolk, NJ and have it forwarded to another address. I can understand about say...my employer has a PO Box in Detroit, that then forwards all the mail to actual address in Ann Arbor. But to have something set up in another country is weird. Now, can't a private investigator do something. I'm sure if enough complaints were made to the FBI, they could do a trace. I KNOW THEY CAN!!!
POSSIBLY ANOTHER BAD COMPANY
has anyone heard of a company by the name of colonial state funding group..they claim to have no upfront fees and they approve people w/ bad credits of loans ranging from 10,000 to 500,000. sounds like something called primetime lemding to me. im waiting to hear back from them now.

could u give me the number to bhr please so i can see if they can help, because i was told unless my pd loans went to an outside collection agency, then it was nothing that they can do......so im stuck

Colonial State Funding Group is also a scam.Dont send them any money.The web site is registered in Canada.
They are the same kind of scam as primetime.I called them just to make sure and they approved me on the phone and said a deposit would need to be sent Western union.Sorry but these sites are poping up everywhere they just keep changing the name and trying to make the site look alittle more legit.The word is getting out more now,so maybe soon they will get whats coming to them(lots of jail time)
thanks for the info and i hope that is what they get...jail time

Primetime lending
well everyone, Primetime lendings site has been shut down. It won't get any of us our money back, but at least no one else will be scammed by these people. However I also got another offer from another comapny oin Rhode Island called Union Mutual Finanacial Solutions. These scammers are everywhere.
primetime lending
Please do not send these people any money. I fell for this trap and sent the money. I then had to send another $612 for a brokerage fee. So I sent it feeling very uneasy. Guess what they got that money then wanted $500 more dollars needless to say a day late and dollar short I refused to send it. They keep stalling about my refund I have the contract and both of my western union receipts. I contacted the BBB and the state attorney office and the Attorney General and am waiting for their response. These people tell you what they think you want to hear. Don't make my mistake and fall into this trap.
Mahalo for the information
I was not sure if I should send the down payment. Everything seemed ok until I was asked to put down $1,987.28. Now I am back to square 1 of my loan searching. I cannot give up that kind of money to a scam. Mahalo

MORE CROOKS ON THE WEB.

I almost fell for it too!!!
I almost fell for the same scam only with another company based out of Wisconsin by the name of Credit1 Financial. I was told I would have to put up 953.00 to receive the 10,000 that I was "approved" for. However I questioned them and did my research and found out the company was a scam. I too would also be grateful for any info on bad credit loans that are legit.
hy
I aplied for $25,000 loan and they told me I was aproved. I sent then $2,754.50 via western union to this guy Ian Miller. The next day this guy Larry Johnson called me saying that I needed to send a security deposit so they could release my money. That's when I got worried and fount this website. I don't know what I am going to do next and I have no idea how to get my money back. I will call this guy and see what he has to say. I hope these guys get caught and get sent where they belong.
any good loan companies?
i wish you didnt go through that, my heart goes out to you. that is alot of money to lose and why do they think they can ask u for money when u are applying for a loan to get money. i mean evidentally u didnt have it in the first place. does anyone know of a legot website for not so good credit or company's willing to take a second chance with someone on a loan. we need help.
primetime is crap
I also lost 987.00 and sent it to Charles in Ontario and everytime I call it takes forever to speak with someone. Then they lie to me and tell me it's in the mail, it's being delivered by fed ex I have to sign for it. I needed cash bad and I apply for a loan and they called me back. I spoke with Larry Johnson. I just have to suck it up and move on cause it doesn't look like I'm getting my money back
Prime Time Lending
Does anyone out there know if they now have a different phone numer the 1-800-459-9049 says your universal account has been placed on hold contact customer service good bye. I have called them religiously about 20 times every day regarding my "refund" that I know is never going to happen. Now you can't reach them. Just thought they may have sprung up somewhere else with a different number. Thanks.
I think that I have been had also
I lost $3900.00 total I wish this was here in the first place then I would have never gave them that money. If anyone has any information of what to do. I want that money back. I borrowed if from my father and boyfriend. Now I'm very pissed off because they gave me a run around also.

Sadly I dont think they will be found.They most likely have changed thier name and location to a different website.They are not a real loan company
they are just a bunch of crimmials.The address they gave is not even a real address.The names they used are most likely madeup also.Sorry,but unless a miracle happens your money is long gone.There are alot of companies like them on the net,so be very careful.Some of the others are posted on this board also.
That is so true. The line Credit one fed me was that because I w
That is so true. The line Credit one fed me was that because I waited until after the expiration date of the original contract that I would have to send the money by western union or money gram. This would go directly to my "acct mgr" and it needed to be sent to ontario because that is where the lender is located. Be very careful when doing business over the phone or by fax. The contract that they had faxed me wasnt even a legal document. It was something generic that you can print off the computer. Although I needed the money bad, i went with my gut instinct and did the research and left them hanging. They won't stop calling because they think that they are getting money out of me!!!LOL
the big stiffy (not in a good way)
I too got scammed. I went through Corpus Mutual. I'm going to change my account numbers right away. I have been waiting for my so-called refund for about 2 weeks now...I have given up hope that I will ever see my money back. What is going on with this company? I guess I'm naive to think that someone would actually help me since I have bad credit. Does anyone know of someone who WILL help? I have been calling consistantly to get through but there is now an answering message that only says "thankyou, goodbye" and then it just hangs up on me. The guy I talked to was Thomas Le @ 18004598595. I'm not sure how far I should go in order to get my money back if the no one has done anything about the company yet. I don't know that it's possible. I also sent money western union to canada. sad thing is...i was so dependant on getting this loan thinking I could pay back people I owed, I couldn't make my rent...I'm about ready to be evicted...Thanks a lot Corpus.
Another thing that tipped me off and made me feel uncomfortabl
Another thing that tipped me off and made me feel uncomfortable was that they had some sort of privacy feature on their phone. I could never get them on the phone when I called it was always routed to a voice mail. Also when they faxed the documents over I fully inspected the documents and noticed they had entered *67 before dialing my fax number. I really do hope everything works out for you amy. I almost gave up my rent money as well. THese people need to be caught and put to justice!!!!
Wow I never thought of looking at the fax number.Thats good dete
Wow I never thought of looking at the fax number.Thats good detective work.Its sad that all of us here either lost their rent money or almost did.I dont even want to think about not being able to pay my rent,but I almost let it happen.I new as soon as they said that I need to send money to get money that something wasnt right.I searched for days for any info on this type of loan and finally I found this board and asked the question that saved my life.
I know what you mean. It is very upsetting to to think that you
I know what you mean. It is very upsetting to to think that you will be receiving this large sum of money, only to find out it is all a scam. I was too scared to risk that kind of money. Which like you twokid I ended up finding this board. I am still trying to understand how these people can go on day to day knowing that they took someone's last dollar.
loan
I also feel for their story and sent my three months payment,and insurance and brokerage fees. I was told by the BBB that the address on the Prime Time Lending website was actually and empty lot in Maryland. I have also files complaints with the FBI and the U.S. postal inspector but I guess it won't really hep since they are in Canada.
You need to do a proper research before you choose any company.
You need to do a proper research before you choose any company. Make sure that the company is listed in the BBB and does not have any consumer complaints filed against them.
If you choose any company, post it in this forum. Let's hear from the community members what they will have to say.

another thing that you needto watch out for when lookingthese companies up with the BBB, is when the file was opened. That is another way that Credit1 Financial as unsuccessful with me, because it showed that their file was opened in Aug of this year.
Primetime lending
well to anyone trying to get a refund through primetime, it is not going to happen. the phone number and website have been shut down thanks to everyone that filed their complaints. to everyone who lost money, i am sorry that this happened to you and i hope and pray that we will receive some type of justice in the near future. if those of you that were scammed by primetime lending have not seen my earlier post, please go back nad read though the other postings.
Thanks for the update. Hopefully this site was able to stop many
Thanks for the update. Hopefully this site was able to stop many more from being scammed by these individuals. I know that Credit1 Financial's website has been disabled as well! Hopefully like was said prior that justice will be served.
I got scammed
I sent them $987.54 to get the loan and another $587 for brokers fee.now they changed there number and web page.can any one help (pipefitterbilly@yahoo.com)
It s unfortunate that you had to lose money on this scam pipefit
It s unfortunate that you had to lose money on this scam pipefitterbilly. You can lodge complaints with the BBB and FTC, but the chances of you getting your money back are slim to none. These people move very quickly and pop up all over the place. When they feel the heat, they close down and open up another operation. It is amazing how long these people have been getting away with this.
Colonial State Funding scam
I just recently found this forum and sadly was a day to late my husband and I just went through colonial state funding , we lost a total of 1070.00 dollars and all of our personal and banking account information is no full knowledge to them.
They had us send them all our information then faxed us a contract we signed then told us we had to money gram the 1000 for a depoist because of our credit to a women name carolyn brown appearntly she was our agent.
needless to say we feel horrible that we let this happen to us. I contacted the FBI because we live in the us and them money went to canada. But I did learn that the fax number is from washington state. so there suppose to get back to us. I just want my money back it may only be a thousand but it was my thousand.
