I recieved a call from Jared Givens because I filled out an application for a loan online. He told me I qualified for a 5000 dollar loan as long as I sent 800 dollars as collateral. We thought we were saved. My boyfriend had been laid off and we thought it was finally going to get better. Well Jared sent me all the information including loan documents signed by Kenneth Peters CEO but the signature barely qulified as legit. My boyfriend and I researched the company on BBB and couldn't find anything. On whois.net we noticed their website had only just been created. For a company who has supposed to have been in business for 20 years I thought that was strange, but Jared said it was because it had just been renewed... An answer for everything. My boyfriend even called customer service and got the same guy both times. I can't remeber his name. Eventually, Jared explained the terms of sending the money through Moneygram to a private investor named Amy Patterson in Ontario, Canada. I thought it seemed funny, but Jared was very reassuring. I wanted to believe because I thought God had finally answered my prayers. I borrowed the 800 dollars from a friend and went to WalMart to send the money. Jared told me I had to say I knew the person I was sending to otherwise they would charge me and additional 200 dollars for some fee (I can't remeber what he called it). The cashiers at Wal Mart told me about scams out of Canada and told me not to send money unless I actually knew who I was sending to. I left and called Jared and asked him what the hell. Once again he reassured me. I must be really dumb but I sent the money after my boyfriend told me to. Finally when my boyfriend and I got home we realized what a terrible mistake we may have made. I called MoneyGram and my money hadn't been picked up so I went back to the store and canceled it and got my money back. I would rather make a smart choice instead of a bad one. I'm sorry to those of you who got your money taken. I can't believe there are actually people who can do that to others. It's hard not to believe something when you need it so much. I'm very sorry and I hope this helps others make a smarter choice.
