admin — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 08:36:08 +0000

Ive been approved for a 10,000 loan from them but im wondering if anyone has any experience with them. They seem like a legit company but I have to put 1,000 down as collateral in order to get the loan and im worried about getting scammed.

Did you ever find out anything? I was approved for the same thing and I was worried.
I just found this on BBB Website and I wanted to know your experience…

Customer Experience

The BBB would like to alert consumers that this entity is an advance fee lender and is requesting advance fees for loans- an activity that is both illegal as well as fraudulent in nature, with the intent of stealing money from a consumer in the form of advance payments for a non-existent loan. Consumers allege that they have been asked to send upfront fees for loans to Freedom Exchange Lending Group

The BBB would like to alert consumers that per the Federal Trade Commission and the Illinois Attorney General, it is against the law for any lender to ask consumers for advance payments on loans.

Common signs of advance fee fraud:

- lender asks for premium, insurance, or collateral payments, frequently saying that this is due to consumer having low credit score
- lender asks for the payment to be wired via Western Union or Money Gram to locations in Canada
- lender asks for additional payments, saying that loan is risky because of consumer’s financial history or private borrower’s request

If you have been victimized by this entity, please contact the IC3 -the Internet Crime Complaint Center- at www.ic3.gov, as well as Phonebusters -the Canadian Anti-Fraud Center- at www.phonebusters.com

Industry Tips

Advance Fee Loans

Per the Federal Trade Commission and the Illinois Attorney General, it is illegal for a company to charge advance fees for a loan before the loan is made. Such "fees" include but are not limited to insurance fees, up-front fees, processing fees, collateral fees, etc.

The FTC advises that a legitimate lender will never guarantee or promise a loan before you apply for one, especially if you have a poor credit history or no credit record at all. These two signals can immediately indicate the illegitimacy of a given company – promises of loan approval prior to receiving a consumer’s application and charging advance fees for the loan.

How to recognize an Advance Fee Loan Scam:

Many illegitimate loan company advertisements are found in the classified sections of local and national newspapers, flyers circulated in neighborhoods, radio advertisements, shopping centers, on the Internet, and elsewhere. The ads frequently feature "900" numbers which result in charges on your phone bill, or toll-free "800" numbers. Such companies also frequently use delivery methods other than the US Postal Service in order to avoid being detected and prosecuted by postal authorities.

The Illinois Attorney General states that nearly all of the illegitimate loan businesses establish PO boxes in the United States, but many are actually located in Canada and request that consumers wire money to locations in Canada prior to receiving the alleged loan.

Many consumers report BBB Definition:

report – A summary of activity reflected in a company’s BBB file. Includes basic business background, BBB Accreditation information, and BBB complaint activity over the previous three years. Also reports may include any known government actions, advertising issues or other information that results from activity conducted by the BBB.
responding to ads that promise loans, even to consumers with poor credit, only to have the company request up-front fees ranging from $100 to several thousand dollars. The consumer might receive very official looking documents, but once he or she wires the advance fees or provides their bank account number to receive an alleged money transfer from the lender, the consumer receives nothing. Upon contacting the company, consumers are then given excuses or the run around, get hung up on, or find that the company’s phones have been disconnected.

How to Protect Yourself:

The FCC and the Attorney General advise that unless you are familiar with the company and understand why transmitting certain types of information may be necessary, never give your credit card, bank account numbers or social security number over the phone, vie email, or by other means.

Keep in mind that it is against the law for a company to ask you to pay – or accept payment – for the company’s services until you receive your loan, especially when someone who solicits you suggests that they can get or arrange that loan for you. That is a violation of the Telemarketing Sales Rule.

When applying for a real estate loan, it is common practice for lenders to charge for a credit report BBB Definition:

Why doesn’t Ron Paul understand that fighting for freedom and our interests abroad ensures freedom at home?

admin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 03:41:36 +0000

United States interests are global. Therefore we must be stationed globally. We cultivate and protect our allies, defend our free enterprise interests, and fight terrorism. We can not be free at home if there is violence abroad threatening our interests.

Paul is a nutjob. Simple as that.

Ron Paul is a complete racist and is just about the nuttiest candidate out there in any party. I would vote for Obama before Dr. Demento – Ron Paul.

Paul thinks the majority of blacks are criminals – stated it in his own newsletters over and over again.

Paul thinks Bush did 9/11 as an inside job. Waaaaaayyyy nutty.

Paul thinks America deserved to be attacked on 9/11. Said it himself many, many times.

Paul claims to be a strict constitutionalist, but does not understand the basics of how it works.

Paul would generate warfare all over the globe by bringing back US troops from every overseas base. We provide a lot of security and stability in the world.

Paul thinks America should have never fought the Germans in WWII.

Paul thinks Iran should be allowed to build nukes and they don’t threaten anyone.

Paul thinks meth, marijuana, cocaine, heroin and LSD should all be totally legal because the Constitution says so. What a lunatic.

Paul is just about as insane as they come. He is racist and frightening in so many other ways too.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being Freedom and 10 being Police State?

admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 02:59:04 +0000

Rate the idea of having government sanctioned "Free Speech Zones" or "First Amendment Zones" near political landmarks like the "Liberty (cough) Bell" or a Political rally?

Things like OWS make me realize, closer to 10 is most appropriate nowadays.

freedom is a state of mind?

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:16:12 +0000

is freedom a state of mind? if so what are some examples that represents this.

I’d go further and say that freedom is the no-state of mind.The mind creates its own states and it will react to them and serve them and so becomes bound by them.What is boundless and free is what i refer to as the witness of the mind,the ground of the mind or the nature of mind.The states of mind move across it like clouds move across the sky so it is like the sky which remains peaceful,still and clear and therefore unaffected by anything that passes through it.

Does Simone Weil believe groups should have freedom of expression?

admin — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:50:15 +0000

I am reading "The Need For Roots" by Simone Weil and this lady couldn’t be more confusing about her points. I’m reading the section about freedom of opinion, but I can’t tell if she believes groups should have freedom of expression or not. Any help?

"There is no such thing as a collective exercise of the intelligence. It follows that no group can legitimately claim freedom of expression, because no group has the slightest need of it."

Quote from Simone Weil’s book. Hope this helps. See you in class. Anonymous.

A State of crisis monster hunter freedom unite PSP help please?

admin — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 09:36:21 +0000

I am currently doing urgent quest A State of Crisis in monster hunter and I’m having trouble completing it. I use dual swords and/or sword and shield. Can you tell me what to do and what dual sword/Sword and shield to use?

In this quest you have to fight the Shen Gaoren (big crab thingy). My suggestion is to use a fire weapon or dragon (if you have one). Also, I would suggest dual swords instead of sword and shield. Also, it would be smart to get an armor with quake resistance, such as Blango armor (big white snow cat), so the quakes from Shen Gaoren don’t affect you. During this battle you want to hit the legs. Once you hit them enough, they turn bright red, and he falls down. Now go for the face, because it’s weaker than the legs. Just keep repeating this. Once you get to the last area, you can use the ballistas (crossbow things) by getting ballista ammo at the base (from blue supply box, or rack of spears) and then pressing square with the item on the ballista shooter. You can also use the cannons but I don’t suggest it. If he gets close enough, you can hit circle on the big button for the dragonator (big spikes) to pop out. Be careful, it has a short range and he needs to be close enough. I recommend using this when he is attacking so you can cancel out his attack. Remember this quest is kill OR repel the Shen Gaoren, so all you have to do is keep it from destroying the fort until the time runs out, or kill it if you can. If you want you can get his legs bright red, but before he falls, switch to a different leg. This way, when he attacks the fort, you can then switch back to the bright red leg and attack it a bit in order to stagger him and cause him to stop attacking. This way you can maintain your fort integrity much longer. Another helpful thing to do is to bring bombs and bomb him as he enters each area.

Which Countries Government is the Most Dangerous Threat to American Freedom?

admin — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 00:00:51 +0000

America’s obama government is the most dangerous threat to American freedom.

Do you think conservatives generally favor a police state and will readily exchange personal freedom?

admin — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 04:23:40 +0000

for the rule by police / security state apparatus / dictatorial government?

Witness their response to the OWS pepper spraying. Most responses consists of "when the police say jump.. you ask how high".

if we were so eager for your police state we wouldn’t be warning people about your President and his cronies

What group has had the most negative influence on Freedom, Liberty & the Constitution?

admin — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:02:16 +0000

Christians.

Muslims.

Zionist Jews.

All thoughts welcome.
10 points to the best answer.

But please take the time to explain, with some facts if possible, why you choose the group you do.

Zionist Jews. They celebrate the New world Order and use the WMD Propaganda with AIPAC and CAMERA to do so.

Everyone should see this
