My friend needed to get a loan to pay off court fees. She called me and told me (after months of searching) that she had finally found someone to give her an $8,000 loan but she had to pay $920 in advance due to her 'bad credit'. She was promised to receive a check within 1 business day as long as she sent the money by moneygram no later than Saturday, June 30th before 12pm! A contract was faxed to her a few days earlier and she signed it and faxed it back. She contacted Kevin Bonner to get all the information she would need to send the money off. On saturday morning, I went to the bank and withdrew $950 for her on the promise that iI would have my money back within a day or 2 after the loan was disbursed.
After sending the money off to Canada (to a woman named Donna Callahan), my friend called and gave Kevin the reference number and he told her that Fed-ex would be delivering her check by Monday between 2p and 5p. After waiting all day for Fed-ex, who never arrived, my friend contacted me at work and told me that she got in contact with the FBI and reported that she may have possibly been scammed! Hopefully an investigation is in progress!
We are two young college students, my friend is a single mother with no job and has a court proceeding that may destroy her reputation if she cannot pay! I gave her the money out of the kindness of my own heart because I was happy she found a loan! Something has to be done about this IMMEDIATELY!!
