Continental capital Ltd
Continental capital funds claims to loan money to get rid of debt with no money down. They approve you and then ask for $700 for security to be taken out of your account. Beware not a real company! Based out of

The company has an ad through the flyer titled GET OUT OF DEBT! They usually run 2 ads every week. I emailed them asking about information of the loan, she "Lisa" wrote that the minimum amount is $5000 with 6% interest payed over 3 years. It didn't matter if your credit was previously bad, you just needed to be able to pay now. Signed "David Wright". I wrote back asking if they were locally based and got the same email sent back to me of what the loan terms were. So I was starting to get a little suspicious. Also because how can someone tell what your interest rate will be and the amount per month without checking your credit?

When I called inquiring about it I could only leave a message. A "Brian Williams" called me back the next day even though I left the message with "Wendy Taylor". I gave him very little information for the application over the phone. He was supposed to call me back by 6pm but did not call until the following morning.

He said that I was approved for the $7000 loan. But when he called he did so from his cell phone out of Toronto. (which I didn't realize until the following day as my caller I.D. Was not working on that particular phone that I answered on). I asked him his phone number (I told him I could not find it). I checked it against the one in the flyer and it was completely different but still a toll free one. When I called the other number he gave me it went to him but said Continental capital Ltd instead of the Continental capital funding.

I called my employer and she said she did not have anyone call for employment verification. I called him and asked if they verified my employment. He said yes. Lie! I said so you did verify it and he said I'm assuming that department did. He then asked "why are you asking"? I told him that my employer did not speak with him and no one called to verify my employment. I then asked him how could I get approved for a loan with out employment verification?" He said he had to go he was busy and hung up. I looked all over the internet including consumer complaints and could not only not find anything against the company, but could not find the company at all. I finally found it through the BBB in Pittsburgh, PA. Other people had complained that they sent money to receive the loan but never got the loan.

I called up Mr. Williams and asked him about where he was located and that I found him in the BBB. He said there was a mistake and he was based out of NY even though the phone number in PA was the same as his. I also asked him about the 2 different company names and he said he had a meeting and had to go and hung up. I called him the following day and apologized and said I was trying to be careful. At this point I knew for sure it was a scam but told him to fax the documents for the loan so I could contact the police with more evidence. He called that evening at 10 pm (they close at 9pm) from his cell phone again. He said that I called him and would I like some information on a loan. I reminded him who I was and that I spoke to him earlier that day and for several days in a row. He was very surprised and stuttered. I acted like I was not on to him.

Today a women called and was very rude. She asked if I received the documents. I said yes but why do I have to pay out $700 to receive the loan.in Florida you are not legally able to ask for money upfront for a loan unless its a mortgage. She told me that was for insurance purposes. I told her that I opted out of that and on my documents it said that it was for the first 3 months of payments and then my first payment would be due in July. She told me no it was for your insurance that you have to have. I told her once again what it said. She very nasty said "let me speak, I know my job a lot better then you, its right in front of me. She tried to tell me that it would get refunded back to me. Sure! I told her my lawyer was looking over it.

The loan documents were not your normal documents. They consisted of 4 pages. The first one a letter about the company. Then the next 2 were the same just written different and the last one asking for my bank account information. It had a toll free number to fax the documents back to but they came from a Toronto fax number. The company address was out of New York, NY. I googled the address and the zip code was off and the company did not exist. That particular zip code did not match up even close when I googled what streets were on that zip code.

The phone numbers are as follows:
1-888-613-7695 Continental Capital Funds
1-877-481-9873 Continental Capital Ltd.
1-416-858-4153 Brian Williams
1-416-588-1004 fax number the documents came from
1-877-481-9873 where I was supposed to fax the documents to.

The 416 is out of Toronto and is unpublished so I could not see if his name really was Brian Williams. I applied for the loan through "Funds" and the documents came through with "Ltd."

The BBB address for the PA company was:
107 Emerson Ave.
Pittsburgh, Pa 15215

*There was no company by that name in PA.

*The reason I am writing this is because I was scammed before. I did not have the internet at the time to check the company out. I don't want it to happen to anyone else. I will be filing a report with the police and the Canadian police and posting it on every website I can against scams and the BBB. My money of course was never returned and they did not catch the people. Thank you and I hope that this information prevented someone from being scammed out of their money!
