Columbia Alliance Trust?

I got scammed with these people, I agree with previous post let's stick together to stop these crooks. I have also sent a complaint to the FBI. Please submit complaints to the website www.ic3.gov

dont forget the name jason banton and samuel perason don't do it there scammers.

I to have been scam these people they said send money to get a loan sound fishy to me to called the bbb they had no record of them  they scam me out of 1500 hundred dollars said to send money through western union.

I also got scammed!!!!! Jason Banton,Samuel Pearson are very good con artists. Was promised a loan with certain % down. Sent the % to Columbia Alliance Trust, then Jason called and said that the lender back out. Columbia Alliance Trust would be filing a law suit againt the lender. Then said they have worked with another lender for 10 years would guarantee a loan to me for more money, but had to send % to the lender. Then the lender wanted insurance money. Told him couldn't do that and to close the loan. Jason stated that the money would be refunded to our account on June 15th. Ya right!!!!!. Called the phone number and it states disconnected!! I hope nobody else gets into their hands!!!!  All of us that got scammed need to stick together and try and find out more information about this people, so we can stop them.

its a wonder that this scam is profiting so well since all these ppl are sending them money. Thing is, if you are trying to get a loan because you need money, how do you have so much to be able to send? I have gotten payday loans, but never had to send money.

I also received a call from a Jason telling me I was approved for a $5000.00 loan all i needed to do was sending them 700.00 for the first 6 months and my payments would not be due until December . I was the stupied one and sent it when i didn't have it. Then i got a phone call the next day sayiny the investor had backed out and they are filing a law suite against the investor but they have found another one and they are willing to provide me with a higher loan.   I ended up sending 1400.00 and i told them that i don't want the loan because they and i wanted my money back and they said i can not have it until the 15th of june,  i called last night and the phone has been disconnected... I know in my heart that i am not going to get this money back...

I received a call from Kevin Turnbull he said that my loan was approved in the amount of $5,000.But since I had less than perfect creidt hiscompany would need for me to put up $808.56. He said that would cover the first 8 months. He also said that I would get the money in two days. I did get a call on the second day from some man named Jason Benton he said that they needed $800 more dollars and I would receive my money the next day. I knew then that something was not right. Now I have been trying to reach these people at this 877-797-4071 number and it has been disconnected. They said that My money would be deposited back into my account on the 20th of June but if I can't contact them by phone I know that I won't get my money back.If anyone out there know anything that will help me an others that have been scammed please e-mail me at proctor_betty@yahoo.com

I've been tring to contact them all day.  Both thier website and telephone line isn't working.  I think they were only going to be in business untill it took people long enough to catch on and then bail with our money.  When I first started this damn thing, I looked on line for any info on them and didn't find none.  Everything looked good and seemed ok.  It wasn't until after I sent in money and got the run around with them that I looked again and started seeing stuff like these postings here.  I'm going to file a report with the FBI, the IC3 (Internet Complaint Center) and NW3C (National White Colllar Crime Center).  The FBI, IC3 and NW3C all work together.  You can go to http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx and check that out.  Going to send something to the New York Attorney General also.  I talked to a few lawyers in my area and noone is up to this kind of stuff.  Going to keep looking though.  But I don't believe we'll ever get our money back.  If anyone else has any ideas or know what kind of lawyer I need, please say so.

I have also sent mony to the company because i was approved 10,000 and i sent them money and now i can't get in touch with anyone if anybody find out any information please respond and help me out.

I will do whatever I can to catch these guys. I am STILL getting calls from them and I have an "appointment" tomorrow for one of them to call me back because "their phones will not accept incoming calls for a couple of days"... coincidentally, their website also is inactive at the same time. I have lost almost $2,000.00 to them at a time in my life when I NEED money to get squared away... not be scammed out of it! These b*****ds are RUTHLESS to kick people when they are down.

I feel your pain.  I to go involved with this so called company this month.  Everything looked good up front and I went ahead with the so called loan process and sent in the money they asked for and was guaranteed that the loan would be depositted by a surtain time the next day.  Then the next day got a call saying there was an additional insurance assessment that wanted an additional payment.  I got alittle upset with a guy and we went over the contract, and sure enough there was a stipulation in it for the reason, so I scrapped up enough money and sent it in.  Then the next day got a call from the same guy saying that the investor backed out of the deal and they filled a lawsuit against them in my name, but they said  they can worked out another deal with a different investor, but for a larger loan amount and they wanted more money.  At this point I realized, to late of course, that I was just scammed.  I told them to cancel the loan transactions and refund my money.  They told me that it would be refunded in June also.  So we'll see.  It it isn't, i'll be getting a lawyer and see what can be done about it.

I also was approved for a $5,000 loan. I was contacted by a Jon Clarke from Columbia Alliance trust telling me the same thing that if I pay the first 7 payments then I would get the money through western union. I'm really glad my girlfriend told me to look into it. The New York BBB has no record of them. I am so broke and they were gonna take what little money i could come up with in the next couple weeks.He is waiting for me to call him back with the money. Should I call the police, the feds and or interpol I don't know maybe they could trace the call or something and find these b*****ds!!!!!!!!  I havave a copy of the contract and the fax number they are receiving the signed contracts at. I really needed some help, now my hopes are smashed.

I was also contacted by columbia alliance and a Sam Pearson contacted me and said that i was approve for a $5000 loan. And he also said that i needed 800.00 up front and that i wouldnt have a payment until November. But im glad that just because i didnt put there suit number on the envolope that the letter came back to me along with my payment. So if you are looking for sometype of suit count me in, even if they didnt get my money.

I contacted the New York Bank Department they advised to call the Attorney General in New York to file reports on this company....I am trying to get together some others that have been severely affected by this scam company..if you are interested please post and we can go after this company so no one else is hurt!

It is a scam. I asked for a 5 million dollar loan and I was approved, but only with a 2500 down payment.

please let me know what you come up with...they have put me in quite the predicament!!

also...he did advise me to go to a lawyer and they would verify all the documents are legal....please please help

They are contacting me now...could someone please let me know any information if possible about this company..they are guaranteeing me 80000 for 6500 down as a collateral security payment..but also gave me the option to pay this in monthly payments through the year...the guy is Kevin Turnbull....someone please please tell me what you know about these people!!

I did receive a call for Kevin Turnbull @ 877-797-4071 X563. He stated I was approved for a loan of 5000 and needed to pay 830.00 upfront to take care of the next 7months and my next payment would'nt be
until January 2011. Kevin stated he would fax the paperwork; my fax at work doesnt it is sent to my computer and I have to open up email to print. I couldn't even see who sent this fax to me. I did call Kevin back and gave him another direct fax and was able to see this so called contract. They have a website, but its illegal to ask for money upfront an Western Union or Money Gram. I did report them to BBB and FTC. Hopefully you all will not fall for it. ITS A BIGGGGGGGGGGG SCAMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!

I WAS ALSO CONTACTED BY THIS COMPANY- HAVE YOU FOUND OUT ANY OTHER INFO ON THEM?  I HAVE BEEN CHECKING TO SEE IF THEY ARE A SCAM AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING ON THEM.  PLEASE REPLY TO ME IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER INFO-

I am investigating this company myself. If we can get enough people, we can do a "Class Action Settlement" against this supposed "Columbia Alliance Trust". I'm fortunate, because the money I put up is from my investigation fees. I also have a client (who willingly put his money into there) seeing if they take his money and run too. If they do, it's best you (or in this case, we) get a lawyer.

I'm going through it now how could I be so dumb. I have bad credit and needed money to help with bills when they offered it to me. I didn't think nothing of it, because I have bad credit. So I gethered money from my family and sent it to them. I was suppose to recieve money today at 5 now its a promblem. They told me I will recieve my money back on june 15th. I'm so depressed and have been crying. Dont trust them I think its a scam, but I do have a contract with the company that if by june 15th I dont get my refund I will be contacting a lawyer.
