I was introduced to Ken Jones by my mortgage broker out of Maryland by the name Matheno Howell-bey who also happens to be part of this scam artists. I was planning to buy a house last year in CO and had a credit score of 620 and was introduced by a friend to Matheno who claimed that he would get my loan done. I put the property under contract with an earnest money of $1500 which would be nonrefundable if i didn't close the loan. Spoke to Matheno about the earnest money being nonrefundable and if he knew for sure we could get this done and he assured me that the loan would close. After about 15 days, i got a call from Matheno telling me that i should pay for rapid credit score because he was having problems with my credit score. He then introduced me to Ken Jones of Hershey Investments who in turn told me that if i paid $1800 my credit score would go up and they would be able to get me the loan. I sent the money the next day and haven't heard from him since. To cut the long story short i ended up losing the earnest money because we didn't get the loan closed and the $1800 i had paid to Hershey Investments for the rapid credit score. I tried to contact Matheno who never returned my calls either. I want to WARN all of you not to fall prey to this scam artists. Stay away from HERSHEY INVESTMENTS, KEN JONES his partner ERIC and MATHENO. Am in a process of filing a compliant with the Texas attorney general in regards to Hershey investments and the BBB. Thanks.
