After negotiating a loan with Peter Buck an Attorney and British Citizen with an office in Istambul, Turkey, he transferred the payment process to Croudace Investment Group, who supposedly had control of the funding.  Rather than execute the contract, Constantino Alvarado, who purported to work for Croudace Investment Group ignored the contract language and attempted to coerse me to pay for the Surety Bond before the loan was issued. 

The contract specifically stated that we would execute the Surety Bond once the wire transfer of the funds had been received and verified by our bank.  Working through Ancom Insurance and their attorney, Michael Levin, they attempted to secure $350,000 US dollars ahead of the wire transfer. 

This was nothing more than an up-front fee scam preying on our desire to secure a loan for a legitimate infrastructure project we have in the wings.  While we did not incur any financial damage, the fact that they can continue to operate and prey on other people and businesses needs to be addressed and curtailed.
