Lender Name: James Scott Kenneth Fox

Mr Fox requested that I fill out an application, then he requested  a copy of my drivers license and bank account information to be able to transfer the funds.  He then asked me to wire the loan processing fee of $900.  

He told me that the funds would be available within 24 - 48 hours.  

Then he told me he needed for me to obtain a $25 Itunes gift card to send to him to use to update his phone so he could then transfer the funds to my account.

When he asked me this of course things started going down hill from there.  I told him I wasn't going to do that and asked when would the money transfer.  For three days he lied to me.  Each day he would give me the time that the money was going to go in my account and when it didn't he said that due to the weekend, it couldn't and to expect soon.  The last day he said that if I didn't send get the gift card that he wasn't going to approve the transfer.  I refused.

I then called one of the references he had sent me (I should I have done this first but when I got what I thought was an official license to do business I thought I did not need to).  Anyway, the gentleman I called said that he had been ripped off for $30,000.   Today I am going to call the other person he referred.  How stupid is that to refer someone you stole from!

I filed a police report and am pursuing now other ways to stop this thief.
