I was contacted from Pioneer Lending Resources 18883339776 stating that I had been approved for a $5000 loan.  We faxed them over a copy of my drivers license, social secuirty card, and latest paystub.  They asked me to moneygram them over a $600 depoist for the first four months payments, how stupid of me, but I did, and of course as all other stories, it was to Canada.  The money was not depoisted into my account and when I called back they stated that they needed an additonal $600, again, I obliged.  The money was never deposited into my account when I called to speak to Lindsay Price who was my direct contact she was either on break, in accounts payable, or no one by the name worked there.  When asked where my money was, it is was either stuck in the Caymen Islands, or the computers were down. The man that answered the phone would speak to me in a normal voice or would then speak to me in an Indian accent.  When I called there for two hours straight Lindsay finally got on the phone and asked me why I was so hostile, when I told her she was an idiot for even asking me that question her response was "I'm an idiot?  Your the one that sent over the money."  Everyone in the background was laughing.  There has to be something I can do about this.

    I have been pulling together a list of these companies from a variety of sources - now about 135 names on my list.  I am still in the process of filling in the websites, addresses and telephone numbers, etc.  I will compare against the posts in this tread and update my spreadsheet.  The purpose is to get the list out to reach as many people as possible and hopefully warn potential victims.

    Background on Canadian cross-border fraud bust, involving multiple Western Union and MoneyGram sites in the Montreal area.

    $3.5 million telemarketing fraud ring busted
    Updated: Tue Mar. 24 2009 3:40:58 PM

    ctvmontreal.ca

    For the second time in less than a year, the RCMP have dismantled an alleged telemarketing fraud operation said to have bilked victims through Western Union and MoneyGram money transfer outlets based in Montreal.

    The Mounties carried out raids Tuesday on 16 Western Union and MoneyGram depots in St. Laurent, Ste. Genevieve, Roxboro and Pierrefonds.  The outlets were allegedly used to collect $3.5 million from victims through three different scams:


    The "grandson" scam, where someone posing as the victims' grandson says they need money because they're in trouble in a foreign country.  The victim sends the money and never hears from the person again.

    The "lottery" scam, a time-honoured scheme in which a person receives a call from a telemarketer offering a cash prize.  The victim is asked to send amounts up to $60,000 to claim the prize, but the jackpot never arrives.

    The "mystery shopper" scam, which involves sending a cheque and asking victims to participate in a consumer survey by sending back a portion of the cheque and keeping the rest.  The cheque later bounces, of course.
    RCMP investigators with the Centre of Operations Linked to Telemarketing Fraud (COLT) are leading the police operation. The SQ, Montreal police and the Canada Border Services Agency are also involved.  The alleged ringleaders could face charges in the near future, an RCMP spokeswoman said Tuesday.  Most of the 1,050 victims were seniors in the United States and Canada.


    RCMP Warning

    The Mounties reinterated a warning they have made many times in the past -- don't pay up front for promises of goods or services to come later.

    "Essentially, all mass marketing scams require victims to send money in the form of a certified cheque, money order or money transfer to receive a prize, a product or a service," the RCMP said in a news release.


    "In this case, the fraudsters take advantage of the kindness and sensibility of the victims."

    Another major bust

    Last July, police arrested seven people in connection with a scam involving the same wire transfer companies.

    In that case, the suspects allegedly ran lottery scams and committed identity theft through a series of stores in LaSalle, Verdun and Lachine.

    In all, 25 different Montreal businesses were raided -- all offering Western Union or MoneyGram services.

    More than 500 people were victims of the alleged fraud.

    Well, same story for me. I was told I was approved for a $5000.00 loan as well. Then I was told due to my past credit history I needed to send $825.00 for a security deposit that would be returned to me after 30 days. Then the next day they told me that I needed to pay for insurance in the amount of $700.00 and that would be the last of the charges. Then the next day is was $540.00 for taxes and all of this I paid via western union to canada to a lady named Mersadie Richards and I had to call her with the MCTN number . I to never received my loan and stupid me was out over $2100.00. The company was ALCOMA LENDING GROUP and their website is www.alcomalendinggroup.com. They too are based out of NC and the money was sent to Ontario, Canada.

    They aren't a "company", and they probably aren't based in NC.  They are just a bunch of Canadian scammers conning people and using Western Union to get their money.  The rest is just illusion.

    File complaints with FTC, your state Attorney General, and RCMP with whatever information you have (phone numbers, fax numbers, or whatever).

    another victim
    My daughter has fallen prey to the same type of con.  Documents came and she filled them out and faxed them back.  She then needed a security deposit of $1483.00 american money in order to recieve her loan.  She sent the money through a moneygram and the loan was to be deposited into her account the next day.  Boom no money and an email stating there was some complications with her loan.  After checking on all their info we found out the phone number was bogus, email acount bogus and the fax number bogus.  All set up through the internet to look and act like a regular business.  We lost all our money.  No way to get through.  rent unpaid, bills unpaid, and no groceries to boot.  This particular business was Liberty Financial Lending Enterprise, 90 State Street, Albany New York.  We are from Canada.
    I believe these scams set up for a week or so and then close down completely only to open again under a different name.  The internet, phone companies and such make it way too easy for these people to do this.

    seeking answers
    I sit here reading these forums and unfortunately I have been trying desperately to also find a loan, I was just scammed by Rockwell Financial group in Minnesota. Has hurt us financially ALOT. Has anyone been able to find a way to get their money back? Their phone and site is down now to no surprise. I have the name and location as to where the money was sent, is there a way we can get them too? This is serious and we need to find answers.

      I am another one, that got scammed, by these horrible people. We were ripped off for $1500. They conveniently,  let all calls go to vm...once they get their money.  I'm sure they have used many different company names and don't give their correct names. Sandra Stone and Henry Hamilton, were the two names given to us...which I'm sure are bogus.
      I've filed complaints with several different places, including BBB.  I wanted to let you know, you are not alone.  Praying we can get them stopped for good.

    Just got "approved" by american pioneer Financial for a $10000 loan and, what a surprise, they only need me to send them $1000 first (as a "good faith" security deposit) so they can wire me the money. I have to day, THANK GOD for this site as they show a BBB rating of A+ (hello - what's up with that?) and seem very legitimate.

      Mitzi replies to Judy C
      Yes Judy, I was one of the un-lucky ones, who saw the A+ rating and thought it was legit.
      We lost $1500 and have been devastated by this whole thing. I filed a report with the BBB on them, and funny how it's not even showing I filed. I just filed it again, and will be calling, if this happens a second time. If anyone has an answer of what else to do, please let me know.  I have listed my complaint on Scambook and Ripoff.

    Belwood financing. A rep named David Spencer. I wired 295.00 today in Exchange for a 5000 loan. Needless to say they called back and said the lender needed the insurance premium of additional 300.00 and funds would be released.  I did not send the money and Cathy from finance said she will mail me the money back in 20 days. Yeah right. I can't believe I was so stupid.
