morland global credit

Got another email this time from morland global credit. their website is www.morlandglobalcredit.com. not sure if its a scam. anyone ever here of them.

It smells scam to me.

This appears to be quite a lucrative area for scammers in the US/Canada, and as it targets people who probably can't afford to lose the money, it's a particularly nasty type.

I am no expert on fake sites but the 1 year registration doesn't give any confidence, it doesn't look like they plan on sticking around

The previous information has been obtained either directly from the registrant or a registrar of the domain name other than Network Solutions. Network Solutions, therefore, does not guarantee its accuracy or completeness.

A search on the companies listed address shows a whole range of other companies who appear to share the same office

I will pass this onto one of our more experienced site killers to deal with, meanwhile if you could post up some of the emails complete with headers, you details removed and it will make it much easier to kill the site

The fact that the site claims to be (c) 2007 and yet it has only been registered since May is a very good indication, coupled with the 1 year registration.

Add in the unsecure application form and it's looking even more dodgy.

Definitely fake. I posted it up for closing.

for the benefit of the thread-starter, the evidence that it is a fake is:

- it claims to have a canadian office and a connecticut usa office
see http://www.morlandglobalcredit.com/contact.html

- it is not on the list of Canadian Loan companies, which is a canadian legal requirement
see http://www.osfi-bsif.gc.ca/osfi/index_e ... tailID=568

- it is not in the database of companies registered in CT
see http://www.concord-sots.ct.gov/CONCORD/ ... let&eid=99

not my own work - harvestmoon had to explain it to me,
but i thought you might be interested.

Site is dead

Great news Harvest Moon
Thanks for all you do
