Beware, if you receive a cold call from this company (Paramount finance and Investment Services) offering a free financial consultation. If you agree to the "free" financial consultation they send a high pressure salesperson to sell you a "financial plan" for $400.00. If you agree to the purchasing the "plan" they will come back to you saying that the "plan" suggests you should buy an investment property in QLD (which they charge about 40k+ above the real market value). They are just scammers, basically the only two things they do are sell overpriced investment property and re-finance people (for which they charge 8k for but they dont divulge the fee upfront). Steer clear of this company, they have burn many many people. I've heard a rumor that a lawyer they burnt is putting together a class action against them pro bono.
Paramount Finance and Investments cold call me all the time, Ive asked numerous times for them to stop and they just ignore me.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I have just recieved a call from a company called Auseagle financial solutions, they are a renamed Paramount finance they renamed the company again because of thebad publicity they have generated over many years. Avoid dealing with Auseagle financial solutions as well as Paramount finance and Investment Services as they are the same shonky company.
Heritage Financial Solutions Australia Pty Ltd ABN: [protected] is the same as this company they work the same way, call centre keeps calling me and then they send some blonde bimbo who cant even count! She want to sell me a property in cairns! I checked on line and the property the wanted me to buy was $50, 000 over valued
These band of shonks started life as NPS or National Planning Services and just keep doing the same scams, when people get wise they change name and start all over again. The website for them ... http://auseaglefinancialsolutions.com.au takes you straight to Paramount finance, man they are ###s! AusEagle Financial solutions is just the latest face of these crooks. I hope the ACCC SHUT THEM DOWN!

What a bunch of liars these people are. Helen Vincent, you should be ashamed of yourself telling people you are a customer.
For the record, Paramount Finance and Investment Services has relocated to Norwest Business Park. Last week it terminated all its telemarketers, corporate associate other staff members and the management decided they will not pay them a cent.. If a company can do this to their staff members, imagine how they treat their clients?
Warren Bronson - Craig Lynch
AUS Eagle is Paramount Financial Services. Warren Bronson and his A+ Degree is an absolute joke. Every staff member can't stand him and clients are sickened by the sight of him. Craig Lynch is a low life individual that has ripped off many people of the last 20 years and he put a manager in place to make sure anyone that deals with the company is bullied into signing contracts and then harassed to settle on over valued properties.
Where is ASSIC, when they are needed? The REINSW and MFAA are the government bodies that allow AUS Eagle-Paramount to be in business and COSL should be shutting this ruthless business down.
Hi Warren Bronson (whatever your name is, as he had changed his name a few years ago, ever since he has got criminal record) & Craig Lynch, you are scam and it will all catch up with you both soon enough.
To the employees and customers they have ripped off, unfortunately, they like to hide behind the HR Manager/Public Relations manager of the company Gill Bedford. Unfortunately this woman cannot be trusted. She is two faced and pretend to care then back stab you when you are not looking.
The Unholy Trinity I say.
Yes, unfortunately this lady is among thousands who have been ripped off by Paramount Finance and Investment Services. I know because i have worked there for the past three years, There are ex- employees who are taking Paramount to court for unfair dismissal, and owing wages. I had experienced a lady in hardship who needed the $400, back, but Paramount like many other people rejected her. I am ashamed for ever working at Paramount, and warn many customers who are about to join Paramount (don't commit suicide) like many before you, they have sustained financial loss. They are a shonky business, who do not pay their employees superannuation. As for Craig Lynch Ceo, and Warren Bronson, they would be the most unethical men i have ever met.
BEWARE OF THIS WICKED COMPANY!
THIS IS TAKEN FROM ANOTHER WEBSITE - LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER UNHAPPY CUSTOMER. HE GOES BY THE NAME OF PHUC ULINCI. HE WROTE: "This people is bad, send rude fat man to sell like used car salesman, he bring old woman with him and say it his girlfriend and he sell her property, i think he lie she was very old and wrinkles." Mate, I worked there, that is his girlfriend. Still yet to be paid anything for my time there, nor my super. Are now called AusEagle.
The thing is that the business is operating under different companies.
PARAMOUNT LENDING SERVICES PTY. LTD. ABN: [protected] is the cash cow. This company receives all the commissions from the builders and the banks but it is not responsible for employing the people.
Companies like AUSEAGLE FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS PTY LTD ABN: [protected], PARAMOUNT FINANCE & INVESTMENT SERVICES ABN: [protected] & PARAMOUNT FINANCIAL SERVICES PTY LTD ABN: [protected] do but these companies have very little or no assets. The only income it receives are the $7995 and $396 that they charge to the customers and that supposedly goes to the staff but it doesn't because Craig Lynch blows it all away going to Thailand every three months and spend money like there's no tomorrow.
That is why Craig Lynch can liquidate any company except Paramount Lending because there are no assets there to pay the creditors and the staff.
Craig Lynch is doing a Phoenix operation and it is up to you people to report him to ATO, ASIC, FBAA and MFAA for business impropriety.
Craig Lynch is that bad that he even asked an ex-staff member named Joe Daher from www.celebritybodyguards.com.au to hire someone to harass an ex-staff member. That is how much a low life he is. For the record, the police were already notified of this and an official report has been lodged.
You guys need to target the cash cow if you want your money back. You wont get your money if you target Auseagle, PFS or PFIS. For the record, PFS and PFIS were already in liquidation and no staff entitlements are paid because guys! There are no assets to be used to pay your entitlements.
Reply to Just Try Me
Mate... Warren Bronson's name is Wayne Joyce. He changed his name then his surname to Bronson which in fact his son Greg's middle name (how original).
Craig Lynch is also not his real name I've been told. Apparently he has a spanish/italian sounding surname. Maybe these guys are hiding something.
http://www.productreview.com.au/p/paramount-finance-investment-services.html
Anyone know where Craig Lives? I have something I want to send him for all the joy he has brought others.
Becareful the real brains of this operation Is Wayne Eric Morgan, apprarently he is a real smart finance guru and he is controlling everything only he can't be named due to child molestation charges.
He Is also involved With Heritage Financial Solutions Australia Pty Ltd ABN: [protected], he employed Astrid Chalklen and Antoinette Awad. Be especially careful about these two con artists they'll try and sell you a Queensland property on the night.
Yes also beaware of Eric Tagudin he is also part of the pedophile ring he keeps getting young girls and manipulating them into sex. He now works at macquarie bank, they obviously don't do reference checks on their staff. They need look closely at him because he cheats and defruads people too!
These clowns also own century 21 in Morningside qlD
They call the Century 21 in Morningside Qld Century 21 Paramount and it's true Craig owns it, Gillian Bedford (that fat menapausal bag of fat) recruits for it.
As HR manager for Craig for 10 or so years I can see that my old nemisis, Warren Bronson (Wayne Joyce) has been here trying to be clever.
For the record all client facing staff had to undergo police record checks. Everyone dealing with clients at Paramount Finance & Investment Services underwent police checks - except Warren. This was due to fraud/ extortion charges in NZ. To suggest Macquarie Bank don't do police checks on it's staff is simply an indication of Warren's ignorance.
I was also witness to the conversation between Warren and Craig where they discussed hiring someone to break a former staff members legs. A few days later Craig left a hand written letter on his desk with the former staff members personal contact details on it. These were then handed to Joe Daher so he could deal with the former staff member. I've forwarded a photo of the hand written letter to the police with my statement about the conversation.
When Craig terminated the telemarketing team and Corporate Associates he refused to pay them. They banded together and stormed into the company foyer. Craig ran back to his office, locking the door behind him and made me deal with them before calling the police to have them removed. The CA's were told that none of them got paid but Warren's girlfriend Helen and his niece were - and told not to tell the rest.
On the plus side Craig was willing to falsify documents so I could get my home loan through Citibank. Fake payslips and employment letter. He did the same for his girlfriend.
Thanks for the admission. Citibank have been informed and have stated your loan will be investigated and the appropriate action taken.
What to expect when dealing with Paramount Finance & Investment Service (now trading as AUSEAGLE FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS:
1. High pressure sales techniques - you will be made out to be a fool if you don't proceed with their advice. A loser, someone who doesn't care about their family or their future. Warren Bronson will talk down to you using terms such as "you're on Someday Isle" (as in some day I'll...)
2. If you sign up on the night you will also be asked to sign a purchase contract. Ask them to show you the commission or referral fees paid to Auseagle. That's why you will eventually be asked to sign a form saying you accept that the property you have just purchased is over valued! The moment you purchase the property you will owe more than it's worth!
3. When you bought your home did you negotiate a price or did you just accept the price? If you purchase an investment property you should be negotiating a price! Take the commission off the deal to get a real price then negotiate. Warren will come in and you will learn all about thunderstorms and rainbows, his A+ degree (that doesn't exist), his son's motorbike racing, how his friends are former all blacks etc - nothing that has anything to do with negotiating, investment property, your financial future or how you are currently feeling - which is pressured!
4. Once you sign you have a cooling off period. To get out of the deal go to your SOLICITOR - NOT AUSEAGLE / Paramount Finance & Investment Service! Instruct your solicitor you are pulling out under cool off and to terminate the contract IMMEDIATELY. If you go back to Auseagle / Paramount Finance & Investment Service they will insist that they come out to meet with you - and the pressure starts again.
5. When all is done, contact ASIC and lodge a complain about the high pressure sales tactics. Take your printed Financial Investment Analysis (FIA) and give it to ASIC as well. Be specific - times and dates that you met, that you felt pressured into purchasing, that you signed the contracts because you felt like you couldn't leave unless you did etc. Detail who you dealt with.
Oh by the way - the contracts you are presented with will probably be blank. The home loan application will probably be blank. Dont SIGN THEM! These people cannot be trusted - especially with YOUR MONEY.
Craig, this is just the start. This will not end until you are in jail and some real justice is done.
Be aware that Craig has no hesitation in hiring people to inflict physical harm on former staff members. At Warren's suggestion Craig hired a security guard called Joe Daher to assult a former employee for supposedly posting on this site. Craig arranged for Joe to be given the home address and phone numbers in a hand written document (Craig's own hand writing) of the former staff member.
Threatening phone calls began - not threatening the staff member but his ex-wife and his child.
This is the level that these crooks will stoop to in an effort to protect their money. To them, money is EVERYTHING.
When the telemarketers were sacked and not paid they arrived at the office demanding to see Craig and be paid. For them to be paid he insisted that they write a letter of apology and state they would take no further action against him.
The clients that go to Paramount Finance and Investment Service (now trading as Auseagle Financial Solutions - the solution is for YOU to give them YOUR money) are mainly Indian or Asian. Either way Craig and Warren refer to them as "stupid black ###", "stupid Indian ###" or "stupid Asian ###" as soon as they leave. All they care about is the MONEY they can make from YOU.
Do yourself a favor - find a licensed, qualified financial adviser and work with them. Unlike Craig and Warren a licensed, qualified adviser will not : threaten you, use high-pressure sales techniques to sell you what gives them the most profit and then threaten legal action against you if you don't proceed!
This company is unethical, unprofessional and operates in an illegal manner. If you sign ANY document with them seek legal advice PRIOR to signing. DONT SIGN ANYTHING!
If you have signed - call your solicitor and terminate the contract under cooling off. If the cooling off period has ended there is a solicitor in QLD that can get you out of the contract - find them and save yourself, your family and your money!
I agree. Had a job offer for them several years ago and it was almost like an AMWAY type seminar where they promise you everything and deliver you nothing at all. And thats true about Warren he craps on about his son and how much $ he has and the fact his father was a famous Dutch soccer player and all the 'Consultants' that go to peoples houses read off scripts and also dont provide ANY proper forcasts regarding yor finances. Warren also insists new staff watch the DVD of the Company Rational hudreds of times over. Just a load of crap if you ask me...
Where is the new office for aus eagle? I nearly signed with paramount and want to go and retrieve my documents.
The address is on the website contact page http://www.pfis.net.au/contact_us.html
Note that at the end of May they are relocating again! Get your documents back ASAP before they get "lost" as so many clients have.

Not once have I commented till now, not only have you lied and stole from this company you have carried on with personal insults and used my sons name which shows the dishonesty of you lot. This company paid your wages and gave you a place of worth and you do this to the people who gave you a chance in life. Then you say disgusting things about my partner who purchased a property 5 years ago through this company and has always been a model citizen. Then use my sons name as well. This site is no better than the people who have written this rubbish allowing personal attacks is truly disgraceful. This is the first and only time I will comment on here. Anyone who believes these people who have written on here I feel sorry for you all, as this company only wants the best for all its clients, a comfortable retirement life style.

Haha Bronson, as always you come across like a ###ed car salesman. It's hilarious that you of all people have the audacity to cry about having your name mentioned yet you have no qualms bullying, lying and stealing from clients.
Yeah like warren Bronson isn't a fake name changed because your a criminal you stupid pug faced idiot.
Warren was the worst sales manager I have ever worked for, half the time he was telling me how to sell ice to eskimos, the other half he was bragging about made up degrees.
Wow Warren himself? Really? If that really is Warren Bronson (Wayne Joyce) then perhaps you'd like to answer these questions:-
How do you feel to have breached the Competition and Consumer Laws by using high pressure sales techniques on clients? By belittling them? By pressuring them to the point where they signed because they thought they wouldn't be able to leave unless they did? By keeping them in the boardrooms for HOURS until they finally cracked and signed?
Care about the clients retirement? Seriously you expect people to BELIEVE that? Your only concern was MAKING MONEY off them! Sell them over priced properties at inflated interest rates, get the $7995 + all the other costs then line YOUR pocket with commissions too. In the meantime the client has a loan where they OWE more than the property is WORTH - that's right - they can't even sell it to get out of the debt.
How about racist remarks about your non-Caucasian (that's non-white people Warren) clients? Calling the Indian's, Pacific Islanders and Asians "black ###"?
How about the staff that were terminated with no pay? How about Superannuation entitlements that were NEVER paid? Any comment about that?
How about your partner actually disclose her relationship with the company other than "customer" when dealing with clients?
How about your partner disclose her qualifications to speak about financial products - super, shares etc?
How about your partner (Helen Vincent) actually disclose to the other Corporate Associates that she DID get paid (as did your niece) when NONE of the others did - instead of lying about it and telling them she didn't?
How do you feel about billing a clients widow $3995 for terminating a contract? He had the decency to come into the office - dressed in his hospital gown, in a wheelchair with TERMINAL CANCER and YOU charged him! He lived 1 MORE MONTH and now his widow has to pay that fee on the credit card. WOW what a SALESMAN you are - and what a HUMAN you're not! Let's see...even at a fair hourly rate for someone of your level of financial expertise the bill shouldn't have come to more that $50 (that'd be what you're worth - about 5 hours work).
FYI Warren in your message to me on this board it's spelled "Liar" not "LIER". Nice going Mr. General Manager...
Heritage Financial Solutions Australia Pty Ltd ABN: [protected] Kept ringing me they then sent a girl called Astrid Chalklen who
was like a used car salesman . After two hours of her trying to sell me property in QLD i said i needed time to think then she lost it. She slammed her paperwork on the table took back her business cards and then started saying in a aggressive tone what do you need to think about. She was very persistent in trying to get my credit card details and putting $1000.00 dollars deposit down on a once in a life time deal . She first tried to charge me straight away then said if i gave her my credit card number she would wait a week then charge me
and if i was not happy she would refund the money and if i didn't pay now next week it would cost me $30 000 . The alarm bells were ringing 10 minutes after i met her . She was pushy, rude and very aggressive i new something was wrong . I wouldn't be surprised if she was coked up to her eyeballs. She is a nutter. Stay away from her and her company. Big WARNING.
Sounds like the people at Paramount finance and investment services. Warren Bronson taught Astrid Chalken everything he knew. Do loads of drugs and lie your ads off.
warren bronson (wayne joyce) and craig lynch are the biggest losers and crooks. They are fat hungry pigs that steal money from innocent people and people who work for them. What is the government doing about these phonies? They tried to sell me a property saying that the $10000 grant was still given. After doing some research i found out that it finished months ago. DON'T TRUST WARREN AND CRAIG.
I spotted Craig Lynch driving into a building in Norwest. Looks like they are now operating under Astute Financial Solutions Pty Ltd. They have new website http://www.astute.net.au/about_us.html which looks like they're old website. VERY DODGEY NEW COMPANY NAME BUT SAME OLD TRICKS.
Please see - Astute Financial Solutions — Scam / High pressure sales techniques / Unlicensed to provide written financial advice
Astute Financial Solutions - ABN [protected] - Company Director - Craig Eric Lynch
BEWARE - IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR MONEY AWAY GIVE IT TO CHARITY - NOT THESE MONEY HUNGRY CON-MEN!
It sounds to me like your just a hater, a small minded little evil doer. I person who doesn't contribute but takes from everyone and everybody. Your a manipulator sitting back in your home happy that you worked for this company and stole from it, not only your pay for the work you never did but also the opportunities and the assistance it gave you. You could of let this great company that had helped so many people but you didn't you continued to stay there stealing the benefits and creating destruction. There is such a thing as karma and yours will come back to you in buckets. You IP address has been traced, you identity is known, try and hide in the dark like the cockraoch that you are! Live in fear of the destruction that is coming your way!
Making threats is quite serious and rather stupid. Now there is a public record of your threat. I wonder what kind of idiot would do such a thing?
"Great company"?
This is the "Great company" that -
* failed to disclose commissions earned when selling investment properties to customers
* used high pressure sales techniques that broke the law
*charged a terminally ill man $4000 to withdraw from a contract, leaving his widow the credit card debt (tell me - you're supposedly about helping people in retirement - how did this help her?)
*at induction "STRONGLY" encouraged new staff to join the company superannuation fund - the fund that would never receive a single payment for the employee
* in the last week of March 2012 sacked the majority of it's employees - but didn't pay them
*took legal action against their own customers for terminating their contracts
*charged customers a fee of $7995 while reaping the $40, 000 to $50, 000 commission from the sale of the property + the upfront commission for the placing of the loan + the trailing commission for the loan. Whose retirement were you planning for - because it wasn't the customers.
*convinced customers to sign paperwork showing that the property they had purchased was valued at less than they were paying. Once their loan settled they owed more than the property was worth.
*presented "Due Diligence" documents to convince customers to buy in QLD - documents that were 2 years out of date and did not show how the values of property were falling.
*charged the customers 0.2% more on their interest rates and collected that as extra trailing commission
"Great company"? Only if you were the CEO or GM on the endless money train - the same money train that the staff worked hard at believing that they would receive super and wages. The same staff you say stole from the company - the ones who worked daily thinking they were helping people, deserving of their entitlements such as super and in the end their termination pay.
"Great company" - what a total joke. It was a money making scheme purely for the benefit of the CEO - Craig Lynch and GM Warren Bronson.
The threats are not unexpected tho - remember Joe Daher was hired by Craig at Warrens suggestion - to go break a former employees legs.
I don't know who you think your fooling with all these hoax postings little man your just a snake taking from others for your own benefit, when you in Jail for the lies you've told here don't look for sympathy because you don't deserve it. The next knock on your door will be the police coming to get you!
How can such a terrible company still exist? Do they just change the Company name over and over?
