AmeriTrust Investments ripoff fraudulent loans Newton Massachusetts
On June 20 I recieved a phone call from Diane Simmons explaining she had a lender for me but I would need to get to a fax machine to sign some paperwork. I got the fax which explained I would need the first 6 months payments to release the loan into my bank acct.
I thought it was strange, but still wired the money to a Diane McGraw, signed the paperwork, and I was to expect the money into my acct. within 24 hrs.
June 22 no money was in my bank acct. I recieved a phone call that day from Gary Vester, saying that the lenders needed an addl' 6 months payment to process and release the loan. I argued with him and called Diane Simmons who was or "seemed" very mad and said she had heard of this Gary but he is mistaken and that she would take care of this herself. She instructed me to call her back in an hr. That was the last time I spoke with her because she never returned my call, or should I say calls!
I waited a day or 2 and decided to send them the addl' payments so I can get my loan.
I called Gary the next day after I wired the money and he wanted the reference # so he can verify then have the lender release my loan. I called and called after a couple of days but no return call back.
I called everyday until there was a message saying that "your universal acct had been temporarily put on hold, please call customer service." That is when I realized that this whole thing was a scam.
I just hope that other people read this before they fall into believing a scam like this.

I also forgot to add I had contacted moneygram, and spoke with a customer service rep. I got down to the bottom of where the money was received and it was Canada. Even though we wrote Newton Mass. on the moneygram paper, there is a loophole that they are aware of. So people can receive the money in a different state, country other than specified.
