Pawngo, The First Online Pawn Shop, Sees Increase In Customers Seeking Loans Against Luxury Items











Cenntenial, CO/ New York, NY (PRWEB) April 04, 2012

Pawngo, the world’s first online pawn shop, was recently featured on NBC’s Rock Center with Brian Williams, highlighting how the service has become a much needed outlet for all demographics of Americans facing financial troubles.

Since it launched last June, Pawngo has offered large scale loans on high-end collateral to Americans looking for cash when credit cards or bank loans are no longer an option. As the first online pawn shop, Pawngo in particular has become known for offering a discreet and confidential service to its customers so that they can complete the loan process from the privacy of their own home without embarrassment or discomfort.

Since opening, Pawngo has come across an array of treasures from rings to bottles of champagne to Olympic torches, all with their own story. Amy Mattera, who was featured on Rock Center as a Pawngo customer, pawned a pearl necklace and her diamond engagement ring for a loan of $ 13,800 to start a daycare center.

Individuals who have their money tied up in objects can now use gold, jewelry, watches, electronics and other valuables they already own as collateral to secure a short-term loan for much needed basics like mortgage payments, college tuition, medical bills, small business payroll and in some cases, daily expenses.

Pawngo has few similarities to traditional pawn shops; in contrast to the brick and mortar operations, the culture of Pawngo has fostered friendly and reliable customer service representatives, a secure and safe process of getting items evaluated, an experienced and knowledgeable GIA Certified Evaluations team, and an overall new outlook on the industry.

“The economy is taking an unfortunate toll on Americans in all financial brackets and many are looking for a solution to personal financial troubles when traditional forms of financial assistance are often no longer viable options,” said Todd Hills, Co-Founder and CEO of Pawngo. “Offering individuals the opportunity to take discreet, high- value loans against collateral they already own allows them the opportunity to keep their head above water during this credit crunch – a role we take very seriously. Giving our customer demographic a more comfortable and professional user experience is one of our top priorities and we are committed to setting the highest standard as we pioneer this new industry.”

In the fall of 2011, Pawngo expanded its services to offer the Pro-Athletes Program with Metrix Capital and the Small Business Lending Program – both which are able to offer collateral loans of up to $ 1 million dollars in 24 hours to qualified parties. The company to-date has funded over $ 5 million in 48 states and is venture-backed by Daylight Partners, Access Venture Partners and Lightbank, the $ 100 million fund started by the founders of Groupon.

About Pawngo

Pawngo is the first full-service online pawn shop in the US and provides small businesses and individuals up to $ 1 million in 24 hours without leaving the comfort of their homes. The secure, discreet online process eliminates the embarrassment and hassle of going to a brick-and-mortar pawn shop by allowing consumers to conduct the entire transaction from the privacy and convenience of their own home. The company to-date has funded more than $ 5 million in 48 states and is venture-backed by Daylight Partners, Access Venture Partners and Lightbank, the $ 100 million fund started by the founders of Groupon. The private company is headquartered in Centennial, Colorado. For more information, visit http://www.pawngo.com.

World AIDS Day Kicks off Awareness Month in December

World AIDS Day Kicks off Awareness Month in December











Free AIDS awareness posters available at AllsupCares.com


Belleville, Ill. (PRWEB) December 01, 2011

December 1 is recognized globally as World AIDS Day, and December is AIDS Awareness Month in the United States. Allsup, a nationwide provider of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) representation and Medicare plan selection services, is distributing free posters to raise awareness of the importance of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevention and treatment.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):


    About 1.2 million persons in the United States are infected with HIV and 1 in five (about 240,000) don’t know they are infected. Getting an HIV test can lead to getting the medical care needed to stay healthy longer.
    Many people with HIV do not receive the medical care they need. Only 28 percent of all persons with HIV receive the care needed to manage the disease and keep the virus under control.
    The number of people with HIV who acquire AIDS has decreased over time because of advances in medical care and antiretroviral therapy (ART). Still, more than 16,000 people with AIDS die each year.

HIV/AIDS and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)

SSDI is a payroll tax-funded, federal insurance program. A portion of the FICA taxes workers pay is set aside for SSDI, as well as for Social Security retirement and Medicare. The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses a Listing of Impairments to help determine if someone is unable to work due to a mental or physical condition and qualifies for SSDI benefits. The listings describe impairments for each major body system that are considered severe enough to prevent an individual from doing any gainful activity.

The SSA first started providing disability benefits to people diagnosed with AIDS in 1983, after it adopted its HIV infection listing. In 2009, SSA asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to recommend improvements to the medical listings that reflected the advances in medicine and HIV/AIDS management. The IOM submitted their recommendations in a 2010 report, but the HIV listings have not yet been changed. SSA plans to request public comment on immune systems in 2012 as part of its initiative to update the listings.

HIV infection is currently evaluated under medical listing 14.08 that has 14 subcategories. They include bacterial infections, fungal infections, protozoan or helminthic infections, viral infections and malignant neoplasms.

“If one meets the criteria established by this listing, one is found disabled,” said Ed Swierczek, an Allsup senior claims consultant

“Regardless of how the listings may be updated, the critical information as it pertains to SSDI eligibility will still be the medical evidence and how HIV/AIDS affects your ability to work. A complete medical record, including medical history, clinical and laboratory findings, diagnosis and prognosis is key.

“Accurately describing symptoms and their effect on your daily life to your physician is also important. This documents the severity of your condition relative to functioning. If your symptoms are so severe that they prevent you from being gainfully employed for at least 12 months or more, then you meet the SSA’s definition of disabled,” said Swierczek.

Although AIDS is primarily an immune system disorder, it also affects the nervous system and can lead to a wide range of severe neurological disorders, according to the National Institutes of Health. In the United States, neurological complications are seen in more than half of adults with AIDS. Common symptoms associated with HIV/AIDS include:

    Low energy, fatigue, weakness
    Shortness of breath
    Depression, anxiety
    Forgetfulness, loss of concentration, slowness of thought
    Confusion and forgetfulness
    Behavioral changes
    Progressive weakness, and loss of sensation in the arms and legs.
