We were approved for a loan for $5000, because of our credit history, they needed a 'security deposit' before they could wire transfer our money. Once they received the deposit, in the amount of $740, we would recieve our money in our account within 24 hours. I sent the money via Western Union to Shawn Merak in Canada (I know, huge red flag, but I'm desparate). The next morning we received a phone call from Michael Finley, our loan agent, stating the lender came back and said we had to purchase the insurance protection because of our credit. We were already in so deep, we really needed the loan. So, they hooked us and we sent it, Western Union, this time, we had to wire it to the insurance company, attention James Alam in Canada. We were guaranteed by the 'CEO' of Evercore, Brent Stein, that we would have the money in 3 hours once the insurance in the amount of $1000 was received. We never received it! Now we have no money to buy groceries, much less pay our car payment, electric bill, car insurance, etc. And we have a lot of kids to take care of.
