Phishing - Phishing - Loan Solicitation Scam

To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to document my recent experience with individuals who identified themselves as representatives of Silverline Financial Solutions. After inquiring about loan options, I was contacted by a person identifying herself as Ashley from telephone number 310-905-3364, who instructed me to call 949-868-9968. Upon calling, I spoke with an individual identifying himself as Troy Collins, who later also communicated with me from 949-490-1745. During our initial conversation, Mr. Collins learned that I was calling from a business landline. Shortly thereafter, he disconnected the call. When I called back, I spoke with an individual named Jay, who transferred me back to Mr. Collins. As we discussed the proposed loan terms and conditions, I expressed concerns regarding certain provisions. During that conversation, Mr. Collins became confrontational and allegedly stated, "If you are going to be a bitch about it, we can end our conversation. I do not care if we are being recorded." The call was then disconnected. Concerned by this interaction, I contacted the company again and spoke with an individual identifying himself as Eli Carter, who stated that he was a supervisor. Mr. Carter informed me that he would review the recorded conversation and stated that appropriate action would be taken if my account of the conversation was confirmed. However, I was not asked for my contact information to receive any follow-up regarding the outcome of the review. Attempting to locate corporate contact information to file a formal complaint, I was unable to identify a verifiable corporate mailing address. The only contact information I was able to locate consisted of an email address [email protected] and the telephone number +264 81 841 1925. I am sharing this experience so that consumers can conduct their own due diligence before proceeding with any business relationship with this organization. Based on my experience, I was disappointed by what I perceived to be a lack of professionalism and customer service. I respectfully request that the company investigate this matter and respond accordingly. Sincerely, ****** ****** ********************** ************

Upon shipping company receiving package and sending the tracking information they messaged for a refundable insurance fee, sent a Stephen Snow ($Stephn-Snow-21) chime account. Then said pay via Lemfi via Desmond Tibah number 683116566.

Last one was security screening, documentation review. They kept package in Arizona and wouldn't deliver it. Then sent me a whats app number 7044255639 for James Mark to process a refund through Anchor Trust Bank and a website to create an account.

Home Improvement

Someone rang my doorbell telling me there was a problem with my chimney and that he could fix it for $80 CASH, then after I let him inspect the chimney he (named Mark) told me it needed more remedial work he could do for $2000 cash, and he could also extend the life of my roof for $3200 cash and give me a certificate. From the man's accent I knew he was British, which he confirmed during chat. No work was done but afterwards I discovered that Fox Contractors did not have an Ontario business licence and that its website did not have a verifiable address. Soon after, someone posted on the Nextdoor website warning that Fox Contractors is a scam company run by Mark Bell, and I have since discovered that someone in the area has paid a substantial amount of cash money for chimney and roofing work which has visibly been poorly carried out.

Employment

Much like a previous complaint, I was responding to a work from home simple gig. I was told that it would take 5-7 days to receive my materials to assemble my products and, in the meantime, to keep my account active, I could log into the platform and complete certain tasks for the day for compensation. By the way, I never received the materials. If I had to pay anything it was towards the last task and they would literally lump my funds up with what they owed me and I was paid. The trick happened quickly when suddenly, I wasn’t compensated for the previous tasks until I paid more money. These tasks are tied up with other individuals and I was told that the group couldn’t receive their compensation if I didn’t contribute my part. So, trusting like I did before because I actually received my money back, I sent the money. It was risky, I know. Same thing happened again, as these people are telling me new tasks are available but this time, because I made an error somewhere (if it can even be called that), these people froze my account and stated that it came off as fraudulent. I asked and begged for them to just refund what I put in and I could be out of this mess. Suddenly, no one has control over anything. What’s worse, is that I asked to speak, or deal, with someone in upper level management and was told that was not an option either. They keep gaslighting me by constantly checking in, wanting me to get loans, ask friends and family, knowing that they will never give my money back nor will I put in any more money. It’s a large amount that they claim will allow me to receive everything else I put into the first account to “unfreeze” it. I also uploaded the “legal” document they have on their site, yet they’re supposedly not “Etsy”.

I was contacted by someone identifying herself as Dania Caldwell from Admiral Talent regarding a job opportunity. She told me my background was a strong fit and indicated that my profile could move forward with the client, but then claimed my resume needed to be made “ATS compliant” and recommended a specific resume service. She later followed up asking about my progress with the recommended service and stated that once my updated resume was ready, she would resubmit me to the client for the next stage. After researching the recruiter and company, I found multiple reports from other job seekers describing the same pattern and identifying Dania Caldwell/Admiral Talent. I did not purchase the recommended service and stopped engaging.
