Jen37, I am working incredibly hard to get thelendingassociates.net shut down. We are in fact the legitimate state of MI licensed mortgage broker, Lending Associates, who is active but has not originated any loans since the end of 2005 and is a victim in this as well. I have filed a police report with the City of Novi MI which is now being reviewed by their detective division, I have filed and IC3 complaint, Atty. General Criminal Complaint, Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation, Kurt Gundry, for the State of MI, Fox 2 News Problem Solvers.

I have been contacted by a few victims that were able to provide very helpful documentation including money gram receipts of who picked up the money in Canada. One victim received faxes that were sent from a Staples in Southfield MI. The police are requesting the shut down through [email protected] but who knows how long that will actually take. I have posted info. on ripoffreport.com as well.

Carla Morgan, Nancy Summers, Kenneth Dunn and Kaiela..... are the names I have so far.

Feel free to call me at 248-380-7100 to discuss further. Thank you.

Hi Legit,

Welcome to Scamwarners.

I am sorry to hear you have been caught up in this scam, the scammers couldn't care less about the damage they cause to real people and many have suffered because of this group

But, I do have a problem with some of your post,
From what you have posted, I have no reason to believe you are anybody but who you say you are but it does trouble me somewhat with you asking people to contact you with your phone number here.

Remove your own self from the equation for one moment and instead replace yourself with a scammer who is clever enough to speak perfect english and hide from all the major Law Enforcement countries in the world, the same person is capable of creating legitimate websites and has many other clever scammers working for him.

Now, this scammer posts something on a site such as this asking for the victims to contact him, I wont put any more ideas out there but could you imagine how much more damage it would cause if a scammer were to do that.

I dont expect you to verify yourself to me but if you could get ahold of our Admins you may be able to work something out with them.

Please understand, I believe you are quite legitimate, but a visiting scammer could easily reproduce what you have done here and I wouldn't like our visitors to think that anybody and everybody who posts here is who they say they are.

Legit, While we will wait for the admin to give direction on your post, I also see some degree of urgency on getting any of the fake loan companies shut down. It looks like you have already started down the right path in terms of legally getting this shut down. You can review the documentation on how to file a formal dispute on trademark issues at ICANN. The link to their Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy is here: http://www.icann.org/en/udrp/

You might also want to check with the people at Bad Credit Warning. They have been collecting information on these advance fee loan scams and have documented over $3 million in funds sent to fake loan companies. Here is their website. http://www.badcreditloanwarning.com.

The FBI and Canadian officials are not doing enough to stop this. I think the next step is to get the news media involved as much as possible to warn potential victims.

I was also a victim of a fee advance loan scam. I was contacted by North Atlantic Capital Resources at 801 N. Fairfax Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314 on Nov. 13/09 and by Dec 2/09, I was scammed out of $1525.00. They followed the exact process as all of the other advance fee scams I have read here. Their website is http://northacr.com/personal.htm and they are still operating. Their fax number is 703-842-8875. Their email is [email protected]. Their phone number is 1-866-927-7028. Extension # 319 will get you through to Sharon Howard and Ext. # 100 will get Grace Robinson who identifies herself as Sharon's supervisor. It seems to be that the only time you can actually reach them is when they are expecting to get something from you. I was asked to wire $775.00 by Weastern Union to a Paul Hailey in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Follow up request for insurance money fees were sent to Courtney Walker and Lorenzo Wallace in London, Ontario, Canada. Western Union will not provide you with the actual location that the money was picked up from. They will give that to the police. I have vowed to them that I will take them down and am trying to do that before they scam many others. They have almost ruined me and put my job at risk. I have closed my bank account.I have filed online complaints with the RCMP ( I live in Canada ) and the Internet Crime Complaint Center listed on the FBI website. I will continue to find what other resources there are to stop them. In the meantime, I have been trying to swamp their fax line, their email and their phone line in an attempt to hinder them as much as possible. It is frustrating to see that they are still operating.

Hi Rcol

Welcome to Scamwarners,

I am sorry to hear you have been scammed by these people who have absolutely no remorse for the misery they cause.

I will report the website to some talented people who can most likely get that website shut down which will slow them down a little, you can help to make their job easier by providing a header from the email you received from them.

If you dont know how to find a header, let us know which email provider you used to receive the email (yahoo/hotmail/Gmail for instance) and we can give you specific instructions.

When you do pass on the header you can email it to me or post it, whichever you prefer, if posting however, please ensure your own name and email address is removed.

By posting this information here, you will help to prevent others from being scammed so a big thank you for that.

If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask

As for filling their fax machine and generally upsetting them, while what you are doing may well slow them down, these people are criminals and they do know too much about you for you to continue doing that

Hi Ralph,

Im using Hotmail, so if you can give me the instuctions I will foeward it to you. Since I last posted earlier this evening, I have found a lot more information. By using the published Lat. and Long. co-ordinates for both the phone number and the fax number, and then using Google Earth and Streetview, I found they are not located at that address at all. The phone is registered to an address in Herndon, Virgina. It looks from the street view that it is a 1 story multi-office complex, something like a business park and the fax number is registerd to a house on a residential street in Arlington, Virgina. I have the addresses but not sure if I should publish them yet. By doing various searches, I believe Grace Robinson really exists and is tied to this operation.Finding some interesting links, but want to be sure. I should know more by the end of the week. I have not yet determined with any certainty if Sharon Howard exists, at least not the one tied to this scam. She sounded if she was in her sixties and would get frustrated by the computer and many emails. She said sometimes the computers would go down and they would be sent home for the day. Maybe an act to get sympathy and trust.

Hotmail is one of the easier ones, go to your inbox and find the email from the fake bank,

From your inbox, right click on the email and an options box will open.
In the options you should see "Message Headers", click on it and the header will come up in a new box, if you copy down until where the message starts it is all we need and dont forget to remove your own details, we dont need them :wink:
by rcol51 Tue Dec 08, 2009 10:27 am
Hi Railp,

I believe this is the info you are looking for. I am actually using Windows Live Hotmail. The drop down box said "message source". I'm sure it is the same thing. I see that the IP addresse is in there.
