Steven P***** with Blue Spruce Lendings was supposed to be my hard money lender for a fix and flip. We were supposed to close on the house on February 27th. On February 15, I paid $650 for the appraisal. On the 16th he told me the appraiser didn't get finished in time and would come out on the 20th. When I asked for the appraisers name & phone number and the time for tuesday to meet him at the property, he then finally on the 20th said that there wasn't an appraiser that could come in time and that they would use a CMA instead & that my money would be returned to me at closing. I had a funny feeling and was skeptical about this and asked that he return my money immediately, not at closing. He got defensive & wouldn't but promised he was a man of his word & we would close on time and I would get my $650 back (I have all of this in writing in emails). On the afternoon of the 22nd I talked to the title company to see if they had any concerns with him & they said so far they had what they needed except the itemized breakdown from him. That evening, he sent me all of the documents, but there were typos, he had my name as the borrower rather than my entity, and the company he had listed as the paymaster for the loan doesn't exist according to google. Also one of the documents asked me for a $6700 security deposit to be wired prior to closing and that several days after closing I would get that returned to me along with the $650. At this point I knew for certain it was a scam & I told him I was not going to wire him any money prior to closing, that was never mentioned or agreed upon. I tried to find another lender in time for closing 4 days later (as he sent this to me at almost 8pm on the 22nd). He sent me another document updated with my entity not my name and a different paymaster which was also strange. Anyways he will not respond to me now or refund my $650 for the appraisal that never happened and I lost my $5000 in escrow because I couldn't find new funding in time.Initial Complaint

Feb 21st 2024 I sent Steven J P***** a wire for $2,880 and he disappeared with my money. Beware of this company along with Steven J P***** and Jannice F******. I was approached by Jannice F****** wanting to purchase my BBQ & Deli out in ********** and she let me know she needed to get the lending for the purchase and this is where Mr Steven J P***** comes in. First it took a month of a complete nightmare going back and fourth and never being able to get ahold of Steven until he needed money. We were supposed to close on February 15th then Steven said we needed to pay his company $2880 for a **** insurance policy which was paid and I haven't heard from either of them since the money was sent and title hasn't been able to contact them either. Jannice and Steven are working together to approach people to purchase businesses or real estate and they are scamming a lot of people right now. Stay away from Steven P***** and Jannice F******. Jannice was actually arrested by FBI back in 2009 for real estate fraud so trust me this company is 100% fake and you won't get any financing from them.Initial Complaint
