I applied for a loan about one month ago and got several calls from companies who wanted me to take out a "secured" loan with them. I turned them all down because I just think it is a scam to ask for money up front to secure a loan. But...I got a call from a company called Diamond Eagle Investments and Lending saying that I have been approved for a loan. The person calling was calling from 416-210-3998. He left an 800 number as a call back number. I hit the redial button on my cell phone to call the 416 number back and got a message that the number is a non-working number. I then called the 800 number back and got a voice mail asking to leave a message, but then it beeped like a pager would beep...(hope that isn't too confusing). I googled the number and found that the 416 number has been linked to numerous scams (one was even a scam involving child abduction!!!), as well as this number was linked to collection agencies trying to get updated info. Just wanted to put that out there for all to see. I don't know what the person calling is up to, but I can be assured that it is no good. :-)


That's a good idea, Bony, I will make a point to report them to both agencies this weekend. Also, I'm going to report them to rip-off report. I know alot of people read their posts. I did add my name to the ongoing online list of people who have been contacted by them. Hopefully many will read the posts on that list, as well.

hi. i was just reading thru your comments and got interested about the diamond eagle thing. actually i applied 4 a loan and this company called me up and told me i got approved on the loan. because i was so desperate to pay off my loans, i called this company back and actually spoke to this guy name nicholas something. he explained everything to me and actually i asked him to fax all the documents to me that way i could review it. it was just weird because the reason why i am applying for a loan cuz i need money but then why in the world would this company ask for $800.00 upfront before releasing the money that i was borrowing. good thing i read your article about this company because i was gonna give in with the offer. thanks a lot. :) :)

I did some checking online/ It seems that when someone uses a Bell Canada pre-paid calling card this number often appears on the caller ID. This being the case, any number of activities could be linked to this number - almost any yahoo can use a calling card.

Hi pnay. I'm so glad you read this before you went through with the loan. I don't know anyone, personally, who has experience with this company so I can't say whether or not they would actually honor their word. But, I, too, wanted to use the money to pay off some things at a lower interest rate and found it ironic that they were asking for a security deposit. Also, everytime I tried to call the number 416-210-3998 I could never get through. They actually have a website that looks kind of fishy to me. They number posted on the site is also different from the number that was given to me.

A woman named Audrey Molesby- Wienneki has been using the name "Diamond Eagle Investments" to run many scams over many years. There was one (in 1999) involving charitable contributions and something Audrey called "angel funding" from wealthy donors - from which she claimed to make a huge commission for matching worthy causes with donors. She was recruiting people to work for her selling her services. No salary, commission only. She claimed to have secured huge donations in her spare time. She was working as a semi-skilled day-laborer for a temporary service earning a small hourly wage at the time.

Another big rip-off was selling her services to find government and other types of grants and "free" sources of funding. Of course there was an up-front research fee, plus a contract promising to give her a percentage of the grant or other monies she may find for you. She collected a lot of research fees. A television station in Seattle did a story on this one in 2003.

Even if this thread is about some other "Diamon Eagle", it seem to me that the name is tainted. do beware. . .

A little more checking shows that this is indeed crazy Audrey's company. Doing business out of Graham, WA. The state of Mississippi issued a cease and desist order against Diamond Eagle Investments and Lending in August, 2007.

This woman isn't evil, she is delusional. Full of big dreams, stories, scams, etc. She sees herself as kind and generous. Probably a sociopath.
