• Trans Canada Loans Scam?

    Trans Canada Loan discussion

    I've gotten a few calls, and then a few posts regarding Trans Canada Loans and they're a legitimate company...

    Some of our members have been contacted by "Trans Canada Loans" and offered a loan if the person would give them a down payment..
    In one case one of our members gave this company $500 as a down payment for a $10,000 loan. I've gotten a few other similar messages...

    I'm concerned that Trans Canada Loans is a scam...

    I am interested to know if this company is legitimate or a scam.. I can't find them anywhere on google...

    If anybody has dealt in any fashion with Trans Canada Loans please let me know...

    Thanks

I too sent them a deposit and received all the same comments everyone else did....they finally told me that their bank accounts had been frozen and they are unable to give me the loan...but they will send my deposit back...i don't know how they will if their bank accounts are frozen....i wished I would have seen all this stuff before sending my deposit..

Thanks!

I sent this "Shelly Thompson" chick an email reply to the "loan Agreement" that I'm not interested in throwing my hard money away to her and her business and that she should get a "real Job"
I appreciate the info. the upfront fee sounded odd so I'm glad I did research.

Thanks again!

Hey Kelly..
I just contacted Ontario Justice, and they said that Trans Canada Loans Inc IS NOT listed as a corporation with them...

I contacted phonebusters.com and registered a file with them..

So.. no don't deal with Trans Canada Loans..

I'am in the process of dealing with them (trans Canada Loans inc) I too would like to know if they are indeed legit. They asked me for a 10% deposit for a $10,000 loan. I have not sent them anything as I would like to find out if they are indeed real.

Thanks

Sounds like a scam and looks like a scam. Doesn't look like a legit business.

You may wish to report them to the Toronto Police Service, http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/directory/mail.php?id=212. They deal with internet fraud.

Other thing worth considering is reporting to some media outlets. Sometimes they cover scams like this in news specials.
