[Helen Halper]

Welcome to Scamwarners, sjnickki!

http://www.americapsolutions.com This appears to be a fake website. It was "created" 5 days ago and only registered for one year. I will have our site killers take a look.

Thanks Helen. Thanks for your help. I was about to wire them some money, but I was in luck with finding this website. when I google the company nothing appears, I did send over thier fake contract that they drew up along with a copy of my ID and social security number that they request. I wrote them back and told them to discard my information and I will be reporting this to my state attorney. Hopefully my information will not be used, My credit is already bad

What gives you the impression we are a scam, because we are certainly not one.

Did you ever receive the money, or find a way to get your money back?

[AlanJones]

A search of the company's "office" at "16046 Weddel St Taylor, MI 48180" shows it to be a residential area.

Also, they claim to have been in business for "well over 10 years", yet as Helen says, their website was only registered days ago and they use a proxy service to hide the registrant's details - hardly the action of a legitimate company.

Hi, Alan Jones this is the latest email they just sent me from the company

May 7th, 2012

The $990.00 is not a fee for us to take it out of the loan, it is a down payment. We do not have any fees associated with any of our loan program. The down payment is needed because of your credit score, the same reason why a bank would ask you for a down payment. Only scams charge a fee for a loan and most importantly, they would ask you to send it out of the country. We are trying to help better your credit score, so you won't have to go through this again. If you have any further questions, please give me a call.

Would you please find and post the headers of their email? The site killers will need it to have the fake website shut down. Instructions for finding the headers are in my sig below. Thanks!

[sjnickki]

Hello Helen this is what I came up with, hopefully I did this correct!

edit by dotti - removed poster's email address

[AlanJones]

The header shows that the message came from Toronto in Canada, where there are known group of scammers operating cheque frauds and other scams. You might want to edit it to remove your email address though.

Also the fee/down payment - banks would not ask you to pay a down payment (which is just a fee by another name), instead they would charge you a higher rate of interest.

[sjnickki]

Alan jones how do I remove my email address?

[AlanJones]

Click on the Edit button for the message and it will let you edit is, so you can scroll down to where your email address is and delete it.

[Dotti]

I have separated this scam into its own topic to make things easier.

Did they request the "down payment" by email? If so, could you post that email, and the email with the instructions for wiring the money?

Only scams charge a fee for a loan and most importantly, they would ask you to send it out of the country

This is a crock. It is actually pretty common for scammers to have mules in victims' countries. The fact is, any "lender" asking you to wire money anywhere to receive a loan is going to be a scammer.

[Dotti]

These are some busy scammers!

Looking at the text on the main page leads me to a whole nest of fake websites.
These are all scams.
