Kingston Jamaica. ...give me 5000 if I pay three months payments in escrow.   Will return after loan is paid.  I have searched cannot find any information about them.

There are a scam.. you need to file a report to the federal trade commission if you sent money. Shane jackson is fake and so is the company. If you call the 188 number it is not even working. Make sure you file a complaint.

I think if you read the whole thread, you found out its a scam. Advance fee loans are illegal period. There isn't much to say, the money is gone. You can report it with the FTC, FCC and Consumer finance and your state Attorney general.  And at least get the word out on these scam operations with your local news.

You condone such practice.  Then if all you are is a smart a** no one cares what you say.try and help someone once.

They are a scam they will ask you to secure the loan by making advanced payment then they will be finished with you. I have all the proof.names numbers paperwork  .anyone who displays a link to thier site should be sued.

Advance fee loans are illegal period!

Adam:

I see you sent them $491 did you actually every get the $5,000 deposited into your account?

they also have a website www.provencapitallending.com
again they never calledme from an 800 number, they came up in a bad credit loan search...

has anyone heard of Proven Capital Lending in Kingston, Jamaica. are they legit? they have a website and phone number, they also said they are members of the Financial Regulatory Council in Jamaica. i am reading these posts because i western Unioned them $491 as a security deposit. i am supposed to get $5000 deposited into my bank account on Friday. i actually have loan documents from them and everything. does anyone know whom i can contact in Jamaica to see if they are in fact a legitimate lender? BTW they never called me, i went to their website as a result of a loan search. thanks! or please email me at addams29@gmail.com

Aimee what have you got yourself into.

These ppl got me also and I just started gripping and cussing them out today and it freaked the guy out a little. Im so mad I fell for this bc I had really needed the loan for my surgery to have my tumor removed. I just needed a little bit more money to cover it. Im ashamed of my self..

Landy, you might be surprised to learn that over 30,000 calls are placed DAILY from Jamaica to the United States for the purpose of trying to swindle/extort money. In most cases, these foul smelling creatures have only your phone number and will try to extract additional information from you using the ruse of trying to verify your correct name/address so they can deliver the prize package.

I was first contacted by these filthy, little animals, when I received a call from something calling itself "John Baker" (today it was "John Brown".) In any event, this "John" was calling to tell me I had won 2.5 million dollars from "Mega Millions" in Las Vegas. It instructed me to get a Green Dot Money card from CVS, load it with $499.25 to pay for my "registration fees." A few days after this call, I was shocked to see this particular scam featured on ABC World News. During that segment, they played the audio of a conversation between an elderly woman - who had already sent them $85,000 - and one of these black stained rodents.

When these roaches call again - which they will - please record the call and share that information here in this forum. Please include your area code - JUST your area code - along with your posting name. Thanks.

please dont anyone send money to these blood suckers.  my mom did and she never saw any money the last time i know she talked to them tbey said she had to pay a transfer fee to get her loan. that 491.00 she sent money gram is long gone. scammers everyone.  i wouldnt vacation in jamaica if the trip were free thet would probably steal you blind.

Yes They Are Scammers Jamaicans Are Coming Up With Different Ways To Scam People Every Day...Sorry Your Granddad Got Scammed Out Of His Money...I Hope U Can Alert Other People So They Are Not Scammed Out Of There Money

Omg Omg...I Totally Agree With You!!

U Can contact  Your Credit Card Company...See What They Can Do..To Be Honest I DO JOT SEE How People Ate Still Falling This  Scam!!!...Alert All You Know SoYou Xan Help Some One  Else So They Do Not Fall For It!!!

You don't get your money back.  The scammer is in Jamaica or some other country that does not consider scamming dumb Americans to be a crime and does not cooperate with US law enforcement.  Your money is gone. You will never get it back.

They will call you again, asking for more money to pay more fees to get that loan.  They will continue asking for more money for as long as you send it.  They will never send you a loan.  Stop all contact with these scammers.

I sent them money yesterday via Western Union off my Visa bank card. How do I go about getting my money back?

Aimee, this is an invaluable post - thank you for sharing it!  

As I suspected, due to all the media coverage regarding the "Green Dot Card" variant of this scam, these woolly, headed little Jamaican beasts would be forced to find new ways in their attempt to extort money. Apparently, based on your post and a phone call I received yesterday, they are moving into the loan scam arena - an area in which I have extensive experience investigating. Please ensure you record ALL future phone calls with these scum bags.

These chiggers have also been trying to execute the well know Indian scam, "Your com-poo-tah is berry, berry bad infected." I don't see either of these schemes becoming very successful for a couple of reasons. These vile black rodents simply do not have anywhere near the requisite intelligence nor the advanced computer skills to accomplish taking remote control of a person's computer. Since many of us have been forced to call an outsourced computer technical support center, hearing some urine smelling "Rodney Patel," telling us our computer is sending out "error codes," did have SOME plausibility. Hearing the sound of some Jamaican chigger telling a potential victim that, "Mon, your cam-pew-ta be infected," does not.

Portsmouthlending.org is offering my Granddad 5000.00 at this moment, we already sent them 3 months in advance and 450 yesterday. They say their based in Kingston Jamaica. Are they really scammers cause I have their ip address and the phone number isn't the same as all you guys are listing? If they are scammers I'm going to the police with their ip address and the other things I've got on them!!!

I Hope You Did Not Fall For it Michael!!!!

wasn't 876 was an 877 website is http://portsmouthlending.org don't do business with them. they will scam you!

A Scam I Am Seeing More Loan Scams From Jamaica Popping Up First The Lottery Scam Now The Loan Scam!!...Glad You Did NOT fall For It!!!

Just another scam from Jamaica (Area Code 876).  Just ignore any calls from 876 or better yet, get a call blocker that can block entire area codes and block the 876 area code.

Yes I was approved for a 5k loan by this company Portsmouth lending.  I was told to send the first three payments of 163.34 which amounts to close to 492.00 and that I wouldn't have to pay again til October. They say that this buys me a protection in case of loss of work etc and that they would pay up to 6 mos on the loan. And they say they are doing this in accordance to NJ law. What is this ?

Thank u so very mucj, I thought so.

It Is A Big BIG BIG Fat Scam....Do Not Send Them Any Money...You Will Be The Only One Not Getting Anything Back!!
