It must be the holiday season or something, but I almost got loan-scammed, I think by the same company. The office is in West Toronto, and when they call my work phone the caller ID shows 416-958-0000. (note: the number shows up as unavailable on my cell phone, and they provide a 1-800# for me to call them back). When I did a search on this number, I got Equimark Lending Group and Fidelity Lending group.

The name of the company I tried applying online with (with the same 416-958-0000 number) was "Fast Dynamic Loans", and they faxed me a loan application, and stated that I'd need to pay 1800 upfront as a security deposit to secure a 30K loan. I was directed to Western Union the money to a person's name (not business) and that I'd get a personal check overnighted to me. I searched Canada's BBB and found that one complaint was placed in Nov-07 and mail was returned from that address - not a verifiable business. The website (fastdynamicloans.com) was working a week ago, but now is not available. Do not send them money! And report them to Canada's BBB ASAP!
