Advanced Cash Advance-Imposter

Victim Location 32312

Total money lost $7,500

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

I worked with a supposed loan officer named Kevin, no last name no address. The address above is the address of his “Merchant Banker” where I sent money. The telephone # above is Kevin’s—and where I communicated with him via text. Kevin claimed that he attempted to deliver the money to me 7 times. Each with a failure and each time requiring more upfront money. Finally on the seventh time a check was delivered to me for $30,000. It was supposed to be cashier’s check, but rather it was a personal check by his “Merchant Bank” and it was not a good check. I almost daily went to a local bank for which the check was written on but each time there were insufficient funds. The teller told me that there had been no changes in the person’s bank account, so we concluded that there was no interest in making the check good. I have now filed a police report to the place where she wrote the check. I have paid a lot of upfront money.
