Shawn Smedley
Eagle Nationwide Mortgage Co. Gave an LOI for a Loan commitment and took $7500 as fees and did nothing Saint Louis

This looks like an internet scam defrauding those who are looking for a project loan.
I contacted one Travis Stewart of Tampa, FL through the internet and he arranged for a phone conference with a broker Shawn Smedely in St. Louis.
Shawn claimed his identity through this email signature:
Shawn P. Smedley
South County Branch Manager
Eagle Nationwide Mortgage Co.
A subsidiary of Eagle National Bank
Ofc 314.774.1461 ~ Fax 888.890.4995

Our offices are located at 12300 Tesson Ferry Rd, St. Louis, MO 63128. Corp was originally registered at 4436 Arco Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110 in but was moved in 2008.
After exchanging few emails and data needed, Shawn sent an LOI for a loan. At this point, something was staged (I think) and Travis and Shawn separated due to differences. So I was now left to deal only with Shawn.
I wired $7,500 to Shawn for expenses to do the due diligence by the loan comapny. But nothing happened. After repeated emails, Shawn said that the original company that said would loan the amount has backed out now.
After that once or twice he replied that he is working on it.
After 90 days, the expiry of the signed LOI, I have asked for refund of my money.
And no news till today.
