But the biggest of all is the decision to become a family, plan to have children. What makes it an entirely unique story? Well, getting out of the parents' place is part of the growth process, but we can easily get out of a relationship or a wedding, but with children, it's a fact that there is no back once you become parents.
Nathan and Madison Donovan also lived a middle class life until a chain of events started to take place just to make everything more and more difficult for them every other day.
Benefits of being parents
A couple took the biggest stage of their lives when they decided to have babies, and they were well aware of the steady increase in the expenses and the constant responsibilities that this step will take place. But everyone does not work hard to win. Some work and pile innocent people like this couple who was not aware that a group of bad people will try to seize each centime of their pockets and will bring them almost on the road.
A happy family
Nathan and Madison Donovan were married for a few years and wanted to fill the empty spaces of their lives now. The couple would soon have their first baby and it made them nervous and excited at the same time. They planned it for a long time and thought they were prepared for everything but that can be?
Harsh
Over the next two years, Donovans went from two to four. So far, they have been able to handle a satisfactory lifestyle, but chances are no longer in the Donovans. Something bad happened and the couple was left without any backup plan. Were you wondering how their situation has worsened?
Work all their lives
Nathan and Madison were fierce workers. They started working part-time during their last year of high school and work since. They had savings, they had jobs, but life turned unfortunately. The couple was facing the most difficult turning point in their lives in 2010 when Nathan met with a car accident.
Holding
When Madison reached the hospital, she was informed of the serious state of her husband. Doctors did not say anything about how long it will take to recover completely for more than a week. And finally, when they spoke to Madison, she understood that very critical times were standing in front of the Donovan family.
Severe back injury
The accident caused serious injuries on the back and it was going to spend a lot of time for Nathan to completely recover and be able to work again. This meant Nathan was left disabled for a prolonged period. The Four Family had no safeguarding plans and Madison had to leave his job so she chose to take care of her injured husband. Unfortunately, she could not be there with him for a long time because she had to work or their savings will be finished and they will not have anywhere to go.
Desperate
Looking at the approach of doctors, Nathan felt even more hopeless. Past months but there was no improvement in his back injury. Nathan finally started to lose even the least of the hopes he will be able to work and support his family again.
Quarter night
Whatever the difficult situation, we continue to move forward and that's how life goes on, right? Madison also planned to work on quarter night as she could be with children in the morning and leave offices after falling asleep.
All the way to the city center
Madison joined a call center in the city center. The bus service ended before midnight, which meant that the shuttles in the office was a difficult thing. Madison was waiting for the bus service to get home. It was both a lot of time and tiring for her.
The car could be helpful
Madison wanted to buy a car like that will help him save time and effort. Nathan also knew that the car was a necessity for them and make life easier. But they did not have enough savings to buy a car and knew they have to look for other options to buy a car.
The search for options
They did not try to spend a large amount of money on a car, but only what reliable car costs. After all, no one wants a second hand car that could break down anywhere on the way. They crossed a few more rough days and looking for good loan options. Little made known that they will end up losing the last penny in their accounts.
Desperate time, desperate measure
The old adage that corresponds to the situation of the couple is: "The desperate times call desperate measures". Everyone can not afford a financial advisor, but everyone can get free pieces of people we know. So Nathan called his mother, and they finally agreed in a way that could help them.
An online loan
Today, we are in the habit of looking for anyone else that appears to our mind on the Internet. Even the couple started googling for loan options and waited for some good options. After crossing a few websites that they left the principle that they finally found a trustable organization, but do they have?
Mum cospoon
Nathan decided to choose his mother who lived in Nova Scotia as a cosigner person. But she could not go to Moncton just to sign the loan documents and who is when the couple decided to take the help of an intermediate company. They thought it was just another business, but they were wrong.
On the first page
Nathan and Madison were convinced by a New York-based company named Eastliberty Finance Group. The link for this company appeared on the first search page. Yes, we should not depend entirely on the Internet, but it could be the chances that a business that shows in the upper results can be fraud? Everyone could have thought that it is a real source, correct?
Too Sketchy
"It was not, like the page and becomes pretty rudimentary. He was on the first page, "recalled the couple who discussed between them before taking other measures. They were quite sure that they go through the business conditions before calling their agents for advice.
High interest
Nathan was aware that interest rates were very high, but he was supposed to do something for his family. He did his best to check the authenticity of the company. He remembers how everything seemed to be "very legitimate".
PERMIT NUMBERS
"They had a number of licenses, their tax numbers ... They sent us their loan documents, and we were able to sign them online, like signing them numerically," remembers Nathan who thought the company had all these facilities To make it easier for people to get the loan.
Pending
"Everything looked at the square and," explains Nathan. But soon after having written his information on the company's website, things will start changing. Minutes after clicking on the Submit tab, he received a confirmation email from the company.
Never end time
The reading confirmation mail as they will receive the loan amount in the next few hours, which max maximum can get from four to six hours. All night past and it was time for Madison to come back from work, but there was no money in their account. It's when Nathan got the first feeling that's wrong.
Hours of appeal ...
Nathan waited for call hours to start calling and checking what was happening. He thought it was a certain technical problem that was the reason for this delay. Not even in his nightmares, he thought all this was a trap and every action, he becomes more deeply in her.
Provide "more guarantee"
The Donovans said the surprising logic on the other side of the phone. According to the representative the couple was supposed to pay about $ 600 to the company as "more guarantee" and that was not everything.
loan insurance
As if this "$ 600 shock" was not enough for them that the representative continued by explaining how the couple also needs to ask for loan insurance. Well, he could have been like they had the opportunity to take a step back, but it was not easy at all. Are you wondering how?
Transfer
Donovans were invited to transfer money to Ontario, Canada through Western Union. It sounds fish, right? Unfortunately, many people are trapped in the same way every day. They also received a deadline previously for which they were supposed to deal with the transfer or their request would be refused. Nathan explained: "It would allow us to get out of the hole."
A specific protocol
"They said he had to be sent to Ontario to transfer money to the United States, because the company was based in New York," Nathan said in an interview. This is the first time he asked Nathan that he asked for a loan and thought he was not aware of the overall procedure.
It's a nightmare!
Just after sending the money to society, Nathan called his mother and immediately realized that it was a scam. He tried to call them, sending them by email but no answer. To his surprise, the link of the website no longer worked as the number seemed to leave the service area. The signs were not at all well and it felt like all this part of a nightmare.
Where was his money? Will he even get the loan? How would he survive if it was a scam?
To call the police
With nowhere else to browse, Nathan has finally called the Best Business, RCMP office for help. He even tried to get in touch with the Department of Western Union Fraud. There was no hope that there was a way to recover his money. All he wished, for the moment, was justice so that, in the future, no one else is trapped. Little Nathan knew he will receive from the help of a stranger ...
An investigation has been opened
RCMP CPL. Laurent Lemieux of New Brunswick started the investigation. It is difficult to keep track of these websites, especially when funds are already transferred to a foreign country. These scales have spread themselves in a totally incredible way.
The intermediary, also a victim
CPL. Lemieux informed that an average man worked for the company and transferred money to Canada through Western Union. To everyone's surprise, this intermediary was not aware of the fraud of this company. "They are just in a romantic relationship and they are told," I need help get $ 4,000 here. I have a friend who will spin you for you, can you transmit. "" An informed representative.
Best Business Office
Nathan was helpless about the fact that Canada did not validate anticipated costs, in short, it is illegal. Peter Moorhouse, the Director General and the President of the Business Bureau, Atlantic Canada said: "The fact that it was the structure of this arrangement, that is what distinguishes it as a scam".
Bad people
Moorhouse has also added: "I think you have to be a kind of special evil to target people who can not really afford to be rushed in the first place." When the media had a conversation with the CEO of Beauceron Security, a certified cybersecurity expert, David Shipley. He said and changed the end of this story.
A terrible situation
David Shipley said, "I almost went out of Sobeys the other day with two bread breads and I turned around and went back." He was trying to explain how people who face hard times in their lives should be helped enough.
Broken heart for his family
"I can not get away with two bread breads - do you know what I mean? But other people can just take everything you have," he added more and more to explain to people the urgency of the situation. When Nathan's story reached a couple who was about to sell their car, they did something incredible.
A gift
Denis Leblanc Dieppe learned to know Nathan and thought of giving his 2007 Volkswagen Jetta he continued for sale $ 3,700. He spoke to his wife and decided they could surely help the family in need.
"Everything goes awesome!"
"Everything goes great. The car is great. Madison works full time and we are no longer helping, what was our goal. We have a renewed sense of hope not only in our financial future, but in our Colleague, "said Nathan.
