818-657-5338

I was given this number to call to write homeowners insurance on client in my area. I believe it to be a scam, I found several other postings online about this company and all said it is a scam. Company name is PC Lending Network.

I also received a phone call to purchase homeowners insurance leads.
Sounds like the same operations of other scam artists in this business.

This was emailed to me:

"We have a few buyer applications in Longwood, FL 32779 that have been pre approved for a loan. These applicants are looking to buy a house within the next 0-90 days and have been verified. They need a real estate agent to find them a property!

If you are in the position to work with these clients, please call me for more Information 818-657-5338.

Thank you,

This was also emailed to me:

I too got a call from Greg Matthews of PC Lending at 818-657-5338 who wanted me to pay them $10 per lead on homeowner policies and calculated that to be $600/mo.  Of course they wanted it up front (wanted a copy of the check I'd write by close of business that day!) After some web searching, I decided to keep my $600.  How do I know I'll get these leads and how do they know I'll do a good job with them?  Seemed to me they were interested the most in the money.  Just before 5pm, I was asked if $450 was more reasonable.  Still backed away.  If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck . . .

Emailed me first looking for a general contractor in Hampton Roads area.  They wanted to sell me leads at $25 each or $300 per month.  The leads would be exclusive.  I got the address and did a google earth and found the address to be a mail box business is a run down part of Woodland Hills CA.  I have contacted the FBI about them.

Received a call to sign up for 45 leads at $10 a piece.  Wanted money up front but said leads would start as soon as I sent in papers.  I had done something similiar with a company call Insurancewownow.com.  I think I paid $1000 and received 4 leads.  I already had quoted the leads before I got them.  All appear to be a major rip off in my opion.

I received a fax from Brenda Evans saying that she was a mortgage broker and wanted to know if we would like to receive leads for people purchasing homes who need homeowners insurance. I called the 1-818-657-5338 number and a woman answered the phone and when I asked for Brenda Evans, the woman hesitated and said "uh, I am Brenda Evans". Next, almost immediately, she referred me to her boss and his name was Geoff Allan. He was a slick one all right, he wanted me to fax a check for $480.00 which he said would purchase 40 leads at $12.00 a pop. I told him I would think about it, the next day he called and I told him I was not in a position to spend that kind of money, so he gave me different options, of course I did not send any money without the leads up front or a website that can be viewed. I already knew it was a scam, but the topper was when Geoff Allan asked me to call "Carol" in the marketing division and he even gave me an extension where she could be reached. When I asked for Carol's last name , he was taken off guard and actually said "I forgot her last name". Please don't be fooled by these scam artists, when Geoff knew I was on to him, he all of a sudden stopped calling.

just got the same phone call in the Bend Or area andtold them i wanted to check them out first, so thats what i am doing right now.

Please do not post remarks that are not a FACT to you, we have been around for years and serviced over ten thousand clients nationwide. Just because there are a hand full of agents does not mean its true.

they also tried doing the same thing to me. if u got a number to call to report these a__holes, i would like to have it

I called on an email id recieved from some micheal. No last name. I called the818-657-5338 number and got the answering service. i pressed o for the operator and they supposedly transfered me to the right department. Off the bat the transfer didn't even sound legit. Talked to a Kay Maxey. Good fake name right! They wanted money up front. I told them i didn't feel comfortable with sending money without having the leads. She said she could split the payments into 2. I told them to let me think about it and i would call them back. I then anywho.com them to see if the phone # i called was legit. No name , no information but where the landline was located in california. So i went to PC lending on google and there sprung pc lending scam. Thanks for nothing pc lending [***].

after reading more of this page its clear this is a scam , I am an insurance agent and have used leads companies in the past that proved to be very profitable and were reputable companies with web pages and real people to work with who have email addresses in there own name , people who send real letters with business cards everyone should take precaution to this comapany and there methods of spam marketing ... leads do cost money but in most cases i have always received 15-20 to try out and then was able to make a buying decision .. best of luck to every one

I received a fax that said to contact Brenda.  When I called I was referred to the manager, Stephen.  He wanted me to fax him a copy of the check that I was going to mail to him so that he can reserve some zip codes that would be exclusively mine.  

The whole situation made me nervous so I googled PC Lending scams and found you all.  Thanks for saving me lots of money!!!

PC Lending Network is a scam the biggest bullcrap ever!!! Please do not buy any leads from this company they ripped me off for more than $350.00. All the leads they promised were mortgage deals they were going to close in a few days were a lie the people I contacted did not even know who they were and said they were not even thinking of doing any mortgages.
