Jakob Advisors Huge Scam Ripoff Winnipeg Manitoba
I was notified by Shantelle Hartford that I was approved for a 10,000 loan however I was high risk so I had to pay $1,000 up front I really needed the money because my husband was out on medical leave and disabilty denied his claim.
I sent my money western union payable to Joshua Westmore as told by the supervisor Jonathan after I sent this I saw on the internet it was probally a scam so I called and spoke to Jonathan and he assured me they were a legitament company don't worry the money will be there.
Needless to say the money was not there so I called and spoke to Barbara in accounting she told me there was a hold on my account because I had applied with someone else for a loan I had not she told me I could send them anadditional $750.00 to insure the loan or they would cancel the loan and send me my money back in 10-15 business day's well it is close to 15 day's and still no money.
I called and spoke with Jonathan on 08/28/2007 and asked where is my money and he stated it has not been 15 day's give it more time I told him what I saw on ripoff report and he stated don't always believe what you read you will get your money back.

Just to let you know I spoke with Jonathan today and I told him about reporting them to all the places and he said then why are you still calling me if you think all these rumors are true and I told him because they told me to document everything he tells meand he also stated he has no idea when my money will be returned it is out of his hands he also told me I would be receving a check and Barbara told me it would be a money order he stated she is wrong imagine that she is from accounting. He also stated it is up to me to call and ask them to stop payment on the supposed lost check and they will re issue me one ya.

well jonathan will not let me speak with the owner because he says that ia m telling him lies about there being no such address. have you called money gram to find out where and when your money was picked up they will tell you when and what city need a subpeona to get the store name but when the lady picked up your money she had to give them identification which they wrote down. i hope this helps.

You and i have the same thing in common. your story and my story sounds almost exactly the same with talking to the same people and now in the same boat waiting for my money. Jonathan said the same thing to me. i reported them on redcol.ca, also called money gram found out where the money was recieved and now i am reporting it to phonebusters. i will keep my fingers crossed that you get your money back.
