I was contacted by William Sullivan from First American Investment Group, 866 856 7035 ext. 134, May 15. We talked for quite awhile, and convinced me that I would get a $5000 loan.
I indicated I needed the loan to tide me over for the summer. I am a teacher and just started a new position. Having gone through a traumatic divorce, which left me and my 5 children in a bad way, I fell for the scam.
We faxed documents back and forth, and I even had a legal friend of mine look at the documents. It looked like a promissory agreement.
I was then told to send $469.00 to a Jose Feroro in Huston Texas for a downpayment on the loan. Needless to say, I did as instructed. Western Union charged a $51 fee for the transaction.
Willaim Sullivan, not his real name, informed
me that I would receive the loan amount, via direct deposit within 24-48 hours.
I received "0" dollars.
Phone calls, messages and pages did nothing.
I never heard from William Sullivan again.
I contacted phonebusters and made a report.
I contacted the Minnesota States Attorney, and they will shut this organization down.
Advise: Tell your bank about this, if you sent, like I did, a voided check to this scam. Also, contact credit reporting agencies, and have them put a fraud alert on your file.
