• http://www.canadianloancentre.com - our new advance fee loan SCAM SITE?

    koka1234 mentioned that she saw a new scam loan website...

    From the surface it looks pretty scammy and uncredible. I thought I better get this post up as quickly as possible to warn people not to deal with this website until we've thoroughly checked it out.

    koka1234 indicated the following:
    As anyone ever heard of Canadian Loan Centre. They just sent me an email stating that I was approved for a SECURED loan. Of course i would need to put down a deposit of 500-600 dollars. Here is there website
    www.canadianloancentre.com


    Based on this alone it sounds like a scam site.

    If anybody here has dealt with this website , let us know immediately.
    If they're asking for money up front, they're a scam and I would recommend that you don't deal with them.

I'm curious to know what's going on with these advance fee loan scammers..

I am interested to know if anybody has heard back about any arrests.

With this economic climate, I'm thinking more people are going to easily get scammed. with advance fee loan scams.

As a victim of canadianloancentre.com, I am happy to say their website has been shut down! I was one of many people who filed complaints against Canadian Loan Centre with the RCMP and BBB. Fortunately there were enough of us to convince the company that powered their website to take them down.
On Nov 22, 2007, Jeannine Said:

It appears that westcorcredit.com is a scam site, so I recommend that people DON'T deal with them.!!
On Nov 6, 2007, Monty Loree Said:
Jesslyn,
I'll have to write a post right away regarding westcor credit...
I'm glad that you've confirmed that they're scammers!!

Thanks.
On Nov 6, 2007, Jesslyn Said:
A man named "Mr. Roth" from a "Westcor Credit" called me today and i told him that i thought he was a scam. He seemed a little dumbfounded when i said that. He tried to get off the phone with me as soon as i said that saying he was going to talk to his supervisor and get the supervisor to call me back... What a crock. These people must have ALOT of time on thier hands to be doing things like this. Its pathetic!!
On Nov 6, 2007, Jesslyn Said:
I was also scammed within the last few days by Canadian Loan Centre. The man on the phone called himself \"Anthony Pelfrey\" told me I was approved for a $10,000 loan. I sent a \"deposit\" of $494 to a Claire Benson in Winnipeg Manitoba. He then said the money should be deposited into my account by the next day... Ofoucrse nothing was there. so i called him back and he told me that the computers had a virus so that he was sending me a cheque and i should recieve it the next day. And again, nothing. so we called him again yesturday and he said he was going to call the post office and complain about it and he would call us back, he didnt. so we tried calling him back and he had blocked our number. I called the police here after that and they contacted \"Anthony\", he told them that the cheque should be here within 4 to 5 days. When he had told me that it would be here nexy day. People like \"Anthony\" make me sick!!!

Hey Trina,
if you read the posts you'll realize that you probably won't get your money back..

Report your problem to RCMP and phonebusters.com
On Nov 5, 2007, Trina Said:
I have been a scammed does anyone know if there is any way od getting our money back.
On Nov 3, 2007, Sharon Said:
I guess I am one of Anthony's latest victim. I did send him the money thinking that this cold be true. I actually spoke with him and he said that I would have the money in my acct that same day. I am still waiting. I had to make out my money gram to a Cathy Young. I looked up the website and also called the BBB and they did not have any info on this company. I also tried to call the RCMP line but it was really busy. I guess I was hoping that this would resolve all of my problems.

Hey Wendy Paterson,

As far as Westcor Credit goes, I would need a website for them. I haven't heard of them before.

A search for Westcor credit gives me http://www.westcormortgage.com/ out of Calgary.
On Nov 1, 2007, Wendy Paterson Said:
I filed a complaint with the RCMP and local police agencies about the candianloancentre,I may not get anything back but I will hopefully help shut these people down.

I want to know if anyone has heard of Westcor Credit,apparently in Vancouver B.C. are they legitament
On Oct 29, 2007, Vicky Patenaude Said:
I too sent "tony" my ID including banking information. He emailed me today congratulating me on approval of my loan. I thought I should look into it before actually sending in the deposit and came across this site. I also put in an investigation through the Better Business Bureau as they are not registered. I will be contacting my bank as well as revenue canada to see what i can do about this.
On Oct 29, 2007, Wendy Paterson Said:
I was a victom of this man and he is still in operation.Is there any way he can be shut down.He also has someone by the name of Steve Thomas.Why is the post office taking money and sending it to him.Maybe i'll check that out when i'm in there today.

I have another email for people to be aware of, this time it is from a known loan company. It\'s from Wells Fargo (I KNOW!!) email address is \"Wells Fargo Online\" onlineservice@wellsfargo.com. The email says that your account may be on restricted status and to lift that service you must click on the link and provide your credit card number. Now of course, a credit card company will never ask you to do that, they already know what your card number is! So beware!

I have spoken to one of the reps from Wells Fargo in my community and told them about the msg that I received, they are now aware of it and are saying that it is not coming from their company, Canadian locations or otherwise. I forwarded the email to them and they will be investigating on their end.

The best way to protect ourselves is sites like this where information is shared. Keep the chat going and let all of your friends know too!

I was almost a victim of this scam. I applied for a loan and Anthony Pelfrey contacted me and told me I was pre-approved for $10,000.00at 8.99% intrest. I faxed in a copy of my bank statement, child support payments, notice of assessment, child yax credit allowance form, and a photocopy of my driver's license, social insurance number and carecard. Next he sent me a one page loan agreement that had a typo of 10,0000.000 instead of 10,000.00 and told me to send in $415.08 security deposit and a direct debit form to take payments out of my bank account. I found this site and started digging further. It is illegal to ask for a security deposit on a personal loan and what was worse is he wanted me to money gram to a lady named Kathy Simpson in winnipeg manitoba. I had to call all three credit bureaus, revenue canada, my bank and social insurance dept. and get things flagged and closed and changed to protect myself against identity theft. The website canadianloancentre.com the names Anthony Pelfrey and kathy Simpson the phone number 1-877-531-3766 which is also the fax number beware they are crafty and the site is very well put together!

the site called Canadian Loan Centre, with the word centre ending in RE is a scam

Hello
I have sent money to the secure credit card company on listed on this site and have not received my card. Have I been Scamed?
On Oct 24, 2007, Barb Said:
I sure did! I'm hoping that everyone who was contacted by these people do the same thing that I did and report them...after all the squeeky wheel gets the grease so the more people who file complaints the more likely it is that something will be done. For those of you who did send money, please don't be too hard on yourselves, I only started to get suspisious when the guy wouldn't send me the agreement on letterhead or give me the name of the actual lender and when I noticed typo's on the form! On mine it said $10,0000.00
On Oct 23, 2007, Monty Loree Said:
Hey Barb,
Good for you...

I don't have time to go looking for these scam sites, and I hope that our loyal readers will let us know when ever we come across them.

I'm glad you took the time to report www.canadianloancentre.com to the RCMP etc.. That's the way to do it. BTW.. did you also report them to phonebusters.com?
On Oct 23, 2007, Barb Said:
I filed a complaint on-line with the RCMP with all of the information that he supplied to me. I kept copies of all of our emails back and forth and I would encourage you and everyone else out there who has been a victim of this scam artist to do the same.
Remember too, that these people are very good at what they do. The smartest of people can be taken in by these guys!
On Oct 23, 2007, Branden Said:
Yes, it is a SCAM. I made the mistake of not checking them out before sending them $620. I found out after that it's illegal for them to request a fee up front for a loan, and that there have been several complaints filed against them with RCMP, the Better Business Bureau has never heard of them and as soon as they got my money I was unable to reach them again. They have no address listed, which is to try and prevent anybody from finding out who/where they are. But if anybody out there sent them money like I did, save your receipt with the reference number. There are numerous locations in Winnipeg, where various accomplices in this scam ring could have picked up the money. The RCMP should be able to track down which location(s) money has been picked up at by the reference number and the name of the receiver. The person picking up the money would have had to show ID, which should be on file, and video cameras should have taped the person doing so. Some of the people involved in this scam are ANTHONY PELFREY, DAVE SNYDER, and BRENDA SMALL. I know the cops could bust these people if they would actually investigate, and track them down, but I don't think things like this are a priority for them. Where do I go from here?
On Oct 22, 2007, H.C Said:
Unfortunately I was one of many that have forward my information to the Canadian Loan Centre and have yet to receive my Loan. I have been unable to contact "Anthony Pelfrey" from the "Canadian Loan Centre" surprise surprise. Yes this is a scam. If anyone could help with my next step i would appreciate it.
On Oct 19, 2007, Barb Said:
They sent me an email too, I went so far as to contact the guy listed on the email and this is what I found. Not only was he not willing to provide references, but when I emailed him asking for the contract on his company letterhead including address and local phone and fax, he didn't reply. I made mention of this blog and he told me that CLC was being mistaken for another company. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY, THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN!!!!!

I called the RCMP at 1 888 495 8501 and have registered the complaint and have also contacted the RCMP. This company is a scam. Do not send them money and have no dealings with them.
