Beware of these scam artists !! C.J. Wayland, Mike Acer and Amanda Stevens !! All of these people are associated with US Financial Group and scammed us out of thousands of dollars and many others just like us. We were in need of a small business loan to start our roofing business. We found Ms Waylands ad on Craigslist under Financial Services. After numerous e-mail coorespondance and telephone exchanges, C.J Wayland told us that she has a program that would allow us to get private funding. She indicated that there was a private lender named Amanda Stevens that will help fund our loan if we could not come up with 10% of our asking loan amt. These funding program allows you to borrow anywhere from $250,000 - $3 M to start up a business. It was outlined very well and looked professional. We were guaranteed to be placed in a program and if that particular program didn't work out then there were other programs that could fit our needs. We were ask to fill out an application which we did and overnight this to her " office " which she later on told us she moved and therefore had an another office address. This address was different from her Newport Beach, CA address. She also stated she had to change her phone number because her carrier changed. This lady is very clever in how she manipulated us and others. She told us she had only a few openings left to get into this unique program. When we delayed getting back to her in over a course of a month she initiated the call and told us she had only one spot left to fill for this private lender ( Amanda Stevens from Florida) to privately fund us. We were either very gulible or desparate for a small business loan that made her "smell the blood in the water". We told her that we didn't have the $4000.00 requirement to start this loan process but she readily agreed to accept $2,500 instead. We started this process in March 2011 and was told that we could be funded in 30-45 days. She kept up with all the pretenses by responding back to us via e-mail and returning our calls. We were then told to return a signed agreement stating that all of our money would be returned to us in full if this loan couldn't or wouldn't go thru. There was a waiting process for this loan to be rolled over from the private lender to a bank and this loan was going to be a fixed interest loan for 5 years. She sent a garantee form to us earlier and wanted us to sign and send it back with no other signatures on it . We wanted Mike Acer (her conspiritor) and this Amanda Stevens (the private lender) which whom was going to private fund the loan for us to sign , as well, so we all have legal signatures on the form. We wanted all parties to sign and be responsible. She had Mike Acer just print his name using the computer. We asked for a hand written signature. So supposely this Mike Acer and her (C.J) signed the contract but this Amanda Stevens did not. We found that quite odd that the person that is going to lend you thousands of dollars wouldn't have a binding contract between her and yourselves !! We knew at that point we were scammed. Not only has 3.5 months has gone by but we have not heard from C.J Wayland after we demanded our refund back( May 12,2011). We have left several message on her phone ( there is a male voice stating to leave a message for US Financial Group ) as well as, numerous e-mails. After our last conversation with her we told her about the reports that we read on " RippOff Report". She stated that the reports were false and now she isn't considering giving back these peoples refunds because of the lies that were written about her. This women is a liar, cheat, scam artist and steals from others that are working hard trying to start up a business and use what little precious money they have left. She is a smooth talker. Indicated to us that she is a real estate broker that is license in California and she brokers for this company " US Financial Group." She deposited our check into a US Bank acct and didn't even looked back. If there is anyone else out there has been ripp off by these individuals please contact us. I am also interested in a class action suit against her , Mike Acer and Amanda Stevens. This is also being reportd to the FBI, Internet Fraud Unit, States Attorneys office and local police department. I truly hope C.J, Mike and Amanda that you all are reading this and knowing, that you all can run but you can't hide. There is going to be enough heat chasing you. With just a click of a mouse anyone can find you. Enjoy your freedom while you can !! |
