I applied for a business loan. I got approved but through a private investor and was told I needed to put $800.00 dollars of my own money upfront to pay for attorney fee's. After six months of payments I would be reimbursed including the fee for sending the money via western union in the amount of $66.00. This company has all my personal information, drivers license, passport, mailing, banking info. etc. I sent the money to Crystal Merritt and their Drivers License is on file with Western Union, I made sure they had to present it along with a password. I was then contacted by Tom Carter who I had spoke with on several occasions (loan officer) and was told they could not honor the loan because I put a password on the western union and I breached the contract for doing so. IN addition, he required I send another $800.00 or the investor would not release the money. I told him I would not and demanded my funds be returned. The company is scamming people and their website should be taken down, even their loan contracts are bogus, spelling errors where they are located, James B.Dean as acting CEO, Katherine Hepburn as their insurance adjuster just to name a few. Needless to say I am very embarrassed about this and my money has never been returned nor will I ever see this money again. However, for future reference I would like to see them all in Jail (who ever they are) so as another consumer seeking a loan doesn't get scammed.

You said a mouthful

- That is just it.they are the "who ever they are" because they want to be that way. Nothing they gave you was real. The phone number was to a throw away cell phone. The address they gave you is fake, they love using vacant lots. They have you send it by Western Union which makes it untraceable. They are not even in this country.
The real sad thing is that this has been going on for years, and people still fall for it. It is getting to the point where they don't even need to really try anymore. After all the agreement you read had several spelling errors...Yet you still went through with it. It was signed by famous people..yet you still went through with it. Oh and the form you filled out at Western Union has warnings all over it describing this exact scam..yet you still went through with it.
I would bet that if someone put down Pinocchio as the CEO and the OZ as the address of this company you would still have people sending them money without question.
So while you are embarassed, just be glad you were only out about $800. There are people that even after getting scammed once..continue to send money and end up loosing a couple thousand dollars.
