Mr. Kelvin Ross pulled my project from a major online posting. He went through a review of my project sent via email. He then replied a few weeks later and told me that he had gotten me an approval from an individual investor name Ken Lar, Jr.
He wrote up an LOI statement with the terms. It looked official and completely responsible.in the term sheet, one of the requirements was that we had to get a security collateral from an approved equity firm. This firm was to be approved by Mr. Lar.
He then told me there was an application form we needed to receive from a Mr. Terry Banks to get the security collateral certificate. He told me the application fee was for $95,000. But not to worry because one of his executive partners was going to send me the funds via check to pay for the application fee.
Later in the week I recieved a Cashiers Check from a major bank in the amount of $95,000. He then attempted to rush me into wiring the application fee from our companies operating account. I told him that I would not wire anything until the funds were cleared. One week later I received a notice from the bank that the check was ficticious. Not only was it a fake check but it was a very believable fake cashiers check. The check was from a Mr. John Westbrook. Supposedly and executive partner of his company.
We are currently talking to authorities and will press charges agains all involved. We also sent out a fraud alert to all banks involved. At this time I do not have a case file to report.
If you come into any contact with this individual or their company please contact the police immediately.
