Since June 9 through August 1, I have been approached by Dwayne Elliot ([email protected]) by unsolicited email through DealStream's contact info. by telling me that he was a private lender of large amount with long term period. During the communication via email only I had been offered $1.5MM long term loan at 5.0% p.a. for 5 years. As our company was in serious need of funding for growth and expansion, I entered into discussion with him. He proposed a very good terms and conditions that I thought would be a good opportunity of funding.
However, he started to request me pay upfront fees in different name such as loan processing fee, analysis fee, authorization fee, registration fees, etc. I insisted that those collections of loan fees upfront are illegal and violation of regulations in lending.

But, the person did insist , "if you really need the loan, you must pay the fees all upfront. None of these fees are deductible from loan principal or to be paid after you receive the loan".

Over 3 months discussion with repetitive small amount payments made to 3 different individual named accounts, he said he should change the lender due to his bank account had a problem with fraudulent check deposited, and the new lender would require their own origination fee for $1,280. This is typical loan fee scam and nothing else.

I describe the following all the information used in the scam activities made by this person supposed to live in VA.

1. Name used in email communication
Dwayne Elliot [email protected]
2. Copy of driving license sent
Elliott Mike Dwayne, 9621 Frank Lane, Singers Glen, VA 22850, VA Driver's License No. T63288580
3. Company name used: Elliott's Inc. Licensed in VA in 2012, but expired and no business license fee had been paid since then.
4. The Phone number he reluctantly provided. 540-683-8312

As a general tendency of his communication is just by email and never disclosed his phone or address in the mail. He repeatedly assured that the loan funding wire had been dispatched, but it never arrived to our accounts. When I requested him wire confirmation, he provided a fake copy of bank's wire which was nothing but forged one.
He still keep asking me to pay the last payment I should do by promising many times that the loan fund will hit your account tomorrow morning if I had paid the last fee. I am available to disclose all email communication to date, if necessary.

Update: 08/15/2017

He continued to imply the loan disbursement will be done immediately.Because of our urgent need of funding, we paid on 8/09 $1,120 as final origination fee and the total money taken reached to $13,590.00 as of 8/15.

Update: 09/13/2017

Additional fee was requested for disbursement for $5,450. As of 9/11, the remaining fees paid, the total has reached to $19,040.00. No loan has been disbursed to date.

Update: 10/24/2017

He requested additional fee $6,320.The new replacing lender Fat Cat Financial, LLC needs to have such fee for immediate disbursement of loan. The wire was sent on 10/23 and the total fees collected reached to $25,360. Yet the loan has disbursed.

Update: 11/13/2017

Dwayne Elliot requested additional total $2,460 for the new lender's disbursement fees. Now involved Donald Mears as CEO of Fat Cat Financial LLC. Total fees paid $27,820 but no loan disbursed

Update: 11/15/2017

An email came in name of Donald Mears ([email protected]) with website address, www.Fatcatfinancialllc.com, just 25 days old site. Seeking additional fee $5,000 for $1.0M loan. A structured attempt of scam working with Dwayne Elliot.

Update: 01/29/2018

The guy kept sending text message pretending as if he could deliver the loan if I pay small fees. So far as of Jan. 20, 2018 we were stolen for $30,950 for his very sticky solicitation for the upfront fees. He is really malicious guy.

Update: 05/07/2018

Update: 05/21/2018

Through 5/21/2018, He stole total $42,020 mostly via iTune GIft cards. He never delivers the loan fund. He keeps telling, "This is the last fee pay to receive funding, Trust me!"

Update: 09/25/2018

Dwayne continued take new named upfront fees by iTunes Card by implying the loan funding takes place immediately after such payment of new fees. As of 9/24/2018, total paid amount reached to $52,220 but no fund has been delivered.

Update: 10/05/2018
