Credit300.com Text Messages
We’re getting reports of text messages from Credit300.com, and others like it, telling you that your cash advance is now ready… though no one seems to have actually requested a cash advance from these people or anyone else.
The text message we were alerted to read:
Great News! Your requested CASH advance is now available! Get up to $1500 immediately! GVM1500 Visit: CREDIT300.com
When I visisted credit300.com, the website forwarded to credithelpasap.com.
I should note that credit300.com was created on 3/11/11 while credithelpasap.com was created on 9/29/2010. I have reports of credit300.com spamming back to 2011, so it’s actually not new.
This is all you'll see at Credit300.com
So on the website, after selecting the $5000 credit line option and pressing the big “Continue” button, I was then taken to easymaxpaydayadvances.com, which wants me to fill in the last four of my social security number. Uh, no thanks guys. So I went back to see where the other options took me.
Selecting the $1500 cash advance option took me to webpaydaylending.org. This site has a basic contact form they want you to fill in and they’ll “match you with lenders that can provide you with a short term cash loan.”
Selecting the “Get a Credit Card” option takes us to freshsavingsplus.com, which wants us to apply for such cards as American Express or Capitol One.
Bottom Line
Credit300.com is just a portal to a universe filled with credit card apps, payday loans, and cash advances. Hardly worth the time you spent read this.
I wouldn’t say anything they’re doing is a scam necessarily (of course this could change), but it definitely qualifies as spam… lots of it.
Nothing to see here.
