   This is a total fraud and scam, I have contacted and BBB, Attorney Generals office and Money Gram. Please do not fall for this, I have talked to Jamie Davenport, Glen Russel, and then Jim Foster. Please do not be another victim of this company.

   Go to these websites also and report these guys.

   Participating Better Business Bureaus (BBBs)
   The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)
   Phonebusters
   The US Postal Inspection Service (USPIS)
   The National Fraud Information Center (NFIC)
   The Identity Theft Assistance Center (ITAC)

   OK, as they are ignoring my calls here is my whole story. I wish I could reply back to other people that have posted but I can’t figure it out so I will just keep posting in this spot by editing the original post.

   I was contacted by Jamie Davenport Clear View Lending Services about a loan of $5000.00 I applied for with them. He explained to me they deal with big investors and they have the $5000.00 in an account for me. In his words "I checked the account myself and the funds are there." To start the process they need me to sign their contract along with two pay stubs and front and back of my drivers license. Along with all of this they also needed an upfront security deposit since my credit isn’t very good. I then proceeded to send $860 on 10/20 via MoneyGram(ref#40137081) with a $60 filing fee for a total of $920 to Angela Zimmerman in Pine Falls Canada to cover the upfront cost which they called a security deposit to lock in the loan. I asked why $860 and they said it is for the first two months of payments. They said I should receive the loan of $5000.00 the following day via direct deposit in my bank account which I supplied to them. On 10/21 Glen Russell called and said the investor needed another two months payments because the loan was reassessed. I didn’t have the funds they request which was another $860 but I had $580 and they guaranteed the funds to be in my account the next day. After I sent the $580 + 14.16 via MoneyGram(ref#87250393) to Angela Zimmerman in Pine Falls Canada(this is where I sent the $860 to also) they said the funds would be in my bank account on 10/22. On 10/22 I talked to Jim Foster who is their Executive Manager, he said the investor didn’t live up to their end of the contract so they will give me back my funds on 11/19 which is the lenders next billing date, he also said as a courtesy of Clear View Lending Services they would give me $500.00 for all my troubles. I then proceeded to check out all scams on the internet and called MoneyGram about Angela Zimmerman. MoneyGram told me Angela Zimmerman didn’t pick up the funds in Pine Falls Manitoba Canada but in Toronto, Ontario Canada. I told MoneyGram the situation and they have taken precautions on their side to prevent her from scamming other people. The next day I talked to Jim Foster again and told him what MoneyGram told about Ms. Zimmerman picking up the funds in another location, he insisted MoneyGram made a mistake. I asked this question two times and he repeated to me that they made a mistake in telling me she picked up the funds in Toronto. The next step I took was to call Florida Banking and Finance Department to see if this is an accutal company and they said they have no record of Clear View Lending Services. After I drafted a letter to Clear View Lending Services(which I will fax to you also) to ask for their license number and which state they file taxes in, they faxed me a letter stating I will receive my funds 11/14 instead of 11/19. I know 11/14 or 11/19 has not come yet but I know this will never come true without assistance from a governing body. Can you please help me out in this situation? I am now seeing other people getting scammed on this.

   EVREYONE PLEASE TELL MONEY GRAM OR THE METHOD THEY ARE USING TO SEND MONEY, because they can link it back to these guys faster. This way they catch the person getting your money also!!

   If you are asking this because they are offering you a loan, ask yourself this question.
   Are they asking for any money up front to get the loan? If so this is a scam known as the Advanced Loan Fee Scam. If you send the money(most likely through Western Union), you will never see that money or the loan.

   If you are asking because you sent the money already then see above.

   I was contacted by Clearview Lending last week. I was told that I had been approved for a $6000 loan but needed to send the first four months worth of payments first. I received the paperwork but I have not signed it due to the fact the gentlemen has no idea about what my credit rating was which bothered me. Bottom line this is a scam!!

   I received paperwork that I was approved for $5000 and only needed to put 869 down and would not have to make any payments then until 9/09. When I told him that I didn’t have the money he insisted that I should borrow from friends or family and would have my money the next day to pay it back. It seemed suspicious so I asked if they could just send me the $4100 and I would start making payment Dec. 1 and he no longer wanted to talk to me. It also bugged me that there was never a way to talk to a person. I always had to leave a message and they would call back no matter what time of day I called. Just sounds too weird for my taste.

   Whatever you do don’t send them money…they just scammed me for 1400. I sent the money on Monday and I was supposed to receive it today..they then called me and told me that the lender wants another 1400. I said I wanted my money back and they told me that I wouldn’t receive it back until December!!

   This is true never send money to clearview lending services. They are fraud. CHRIS A: what was the name of your representative???? Mine was Jamie Davenport

   My contact was Sam Jamison. I did not send them any money. I did question about the scam and of course they stated they are a real business. I went to http://www.orlando.bbb.org and searched for this business by name and address. It did come up under both, it currently has no complaints against it. If you have been scammed by this company you need to go to the bbb page and file a complaint to stop this madness. The company address I received is 7335 sand lake rd, orlando, fl 32819 tel: 866-504-3148 fax: 407-650-3400. They also have a web page at http://www.clearviewlending.net

   Ok, here’s the deal. my brother got this scam. this is what we know so far. his real name is omar he is in orlando florida. if you google earth the number he is giving you as his buss address it is a construction zone. the number he gives you as a place to fax your paper work is an empty lot. the 2 places are 11.1 miles apart so we know he is operating out of the general area. My bro stopped payment on the transfer before he got it thank god but this is a scam and were working to expose this ass hole as we speak.
