Sorry for the typos.....I asked for a $20K loan for my business.

Received a call from John Logan with Livingston Advisors. Phone number 866-647-8069 x3. I was approved for a $10,000 loan with an interest rate of 6.5%. I needed to put 10% in insurance down before the funds would be released to me. I told him that if I had that kind of money I wouldnt need a loan! His only answer to my question about people getting ripped off was that customers presented fraudulent information. I asked him about customers who sent in their money and never received any funds in return. He had no answers for me. Just a scripted answer about fraudulent information and their accounts department. I told him I was no longer interested. I will now go to www.lifelock.com in case of identity theft.

They are going by Safeway Lending Group now...So happy I was smart enough to research them!!

I was contacted yesterday by "Safeway Lending Group". I was told to send in $975.00 copy of social security card, paystub, and driver license..i was really excited untill the more i thought about it something didnt sound right.i was told once i sent the document in from the e-mail and my personal documents then my $8,000 loan would be sent to me with 7% intrest rate. So today i tried to find the website their isnt one(duhh)......They almost got me but thank god im a little smarter then that lol. I'm just 18 and if i would have been a little bit dumber i could have ruined my identity!

I was contacted by this number. I was to get a $5,000.00 approved loan. They are now going by the name of Globe Finance Inc. I'm glad I checked out this number.

I think the number itself is a long distance calling card service. Of course, the people that use the card are often scammers (as indicated in the comments above). Therefore that many different company names.

Today I missed a call from this number, got to this website and suspected a scam. It turned out that was my friend calling from nearby city where he lives. He called me again from this number.

Scammers use it for cheap rates and anonymity. So, as always, be wary of scammers in any form, but I don't think the actual number is at fault.

I missed the call from 347-562-2648, a guy left a message saying his name was Phillip Edwards and that he was calling from Mutual Referral Services and to give him a call back at 1 866-403-7940. I called back, I could hardly understand him, he said I was approved for a $5,000 dollar loan, but I had to send $1,052 in order to get it.  He said that the reason why I would have to send the money is because a bank wouldn't approve me so I had to go through a private lender and that I had to purchase insurance in order to get it, I was like why when I have insurance on my job, I told him it didn't make sense to have all that insurance.  He said, "Well the lenders need to know that you will hold your end of the bargain and paying that would ensure them that your intentions about paying the loan back are good.

I told him I didn't have it and I would have to think about it.  He said he would get his secretary to send the information via e-mail and that I should get it in an hour, well that was yesterday, September 24, 2008 and I still have not received an e-mail.  The funny thing about it is that I did have that kind of money earlier that day, but I decided to pay most of my bills in advance, I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW HAPPY I AM RIGHT NOW ABOUT THAT, because if I still had it in the bank at the time he asked for it, I probably would have fallen for it.  At first I said to myself, "Why did I pay my bills in advance," but after waking up this morning and sitting at my desk for a while at work, I decided to look up the number, I DO LIKE TO INVESTIGATE THINGS, and look at all this good information I found.  I do know better and I should have known better than to send my information, especially being that every time I go to the bank, I always read that big sign that they have about identifying a scam, and sending money in order to receive a loan is like number 3 on the list in the bank.  

I feel bad for all of you who have lost your money, I think its wrong because they are preying on people, some of whom are in desperate situations.  And when people are in desperate situations they are more vulnerable to things.  It's just wrong in every aspect.  I hope they find out who's behind this and make them pay for their actions.  Again, I would like to thank everyone who have posted information about this number because it really helped.

I just told them they are a scam, I have a cell number for another one. his name id Aadrian, 1-905-550-3762. This is the number the the 1800 number goes to.

Within minutes of this missed call, i also received a call from 646 536 9090... Assuming it's the same type deal...

I recieved an E-mail from Mutual Referral Services and a phone call from this number for a loan of $5000.00 and followed trough with my payment for insurance. I feel like a fool. I have contacted the BBB, Secret Service and FBI. They say their address is 701 town center drive in newport news ,VA. I had somebody look into this and there is no such address nor has any other businesses in the building  ever heard of them.  They give a number of 1-866-403-7940 as a contact but  you talk to somebody different even though all the voices are the same. I will get my money back     and plan on consulting an attorney. There is other info I cannot discuss but they will be caught! Anybody can respond to this by writing me @ leibhartwood@comcast.net

Received call today from Andrew Collins telling me I qualified for $10,000 loan, but would need to send $1,352 as good faith deposit.  I told him to email me the documents for review.  He asked for copy of ssno, paycheck stubs and bank account number.  Again, I requested he send me all the docs for my review and verification.  He said he would and verified my email address.  Guess what?  Nada in my email.  Beware.  Hard times and desperation make easy prey for these scavengers.

Report them to FCC, FBI, local police and State Attorney General!

Called and introduced themselves as Pendulum Lending.  You're approved for $25,000 loan.  We will e-mail you a contract--got the contract--frought with mis-spelling and "mumbo-jumbo" as well as numerical mistakes.  What gets me...they want $1520.00 up front via MoneyGram.  HA HA HA.  No legit company asks for money up front. They even have a website www.pendulumlending.com---but I challenge anyone to find a loan application on the site.  No terms of service, fees, etc.  WATCH YOURSELVES!!

This company just called me to offer me a Ford Explore. I mean come on! In this economy no one is giving anything away!

I nearly fell for the scam at DotCom Hotel (1-347-562-2648). Have talked to a man named Andrew Barnes from Trident Financial Group. Said I qualified for a $10,000 loan, at 7 percent interest, over 10 years. Said I needed to send $740.00 to him via Money Gram at Walmart. Said to use the personal form. After reading every thing that's been posted on Google, I'm glad I didn't go any farther than a phone call. Don't fall for these terrible people. As we are facing hard times with the US economy, it's easy to "hope" that these are real people who want to help. They are not.  Thanks to everyone who posted about this before me.

Received 2 calls from this number and a Wendy...But company name was
Winslow Financial Services...Said I had been approved for a 25000.00 loan
and to call back. I didnt I checked here first. But they gave the number
866-959-8557 ext 603 as the return "toll free number"

I just received 2 calls from this number, at my work number extention in Ireland.
I didn't recognise the number, let alone the dialling code, so I let the voice mail pick up but they didn't leave a message on either of the calls, spaced approximated 30 minutes apart.
Why would they be ringing a company in Ireland?!

HALTON FINANCIAL GROUP We are a legitimate Financial Planning firm in Ontario, Canada and have received a large number of complaints from people who have been scammed out of money in an attempt to secure a loan from a bogus lending firm calling themselves HALTON FINANCIAL GROUP out of the US. This is nothing but a scam do not fall for it. You will lose your money!

I have no idea who these people are, but they just called me at 12:02 AM!!!!  I didn't bother answering the phone as I did not recognize the #, but if they call me again during the day (or after midnight!) they are going to get BLASTED!
