J. Steven Pearce Advance Pay Loan Scam

I was contacted by J. Steven Pearce, or John Steven Pearce about offering me a $3000 loan at 10%. I played along for awhile, but did not give him what he was asking. I want to make sure no one else does either.

It was the standard "pay fees upfront", some companies call it "insurance" and "secured loan". He wanted $350 sent Western Union to someone named Peggie Jones in Cleveland Heights, OH. He sent me a copy of his passport as "proof" he was a legit private lender. His passport was from AL, his phone number was CA. When I searched his phone number on Google, it brought up a Korean businessman in FL.

I made my terms offer, which was 6 mo payoff, which was of course accepted. I offered to make a payment thru Western Union from my credit card to someones back account to keep it more secure. That was not surprisingly unacceptable to him, he wanted a personal pickup. The only reason someone would not accept that is if they don't want it traced. Please everyone, there are so many scammers out there. DO NOT SEND $ thru Western Union to these people. They will disappear. Any person, I believe even a loan shark, would (1) not request $ upfront to get $, and (2) accept a bank transfer to protect everyone's $.
