SHOOT AT LA CHUTE

Fraudulent ad exposed by Johnsburg woman

This Week CHESTERTOWN

By Ryan Edwards ryan@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG Ñ On Friday, April 24, Judith Dunkley saw an advertisement in the News Enterprise for personal loans with flexible payments. The ad — purchased by Evergreen Lending Services — boasted a 24-hour response, claiming bad credit was a non-issue. But she soon found the this was too good to be true. She and her husband — 70 and 74 years old respectively Ñ applied for a nine-year, $25,000 loan late that Friday afternoon, and by Saturday morning, they were approved. Ò This was going to solve a lot of problems for us,” Dunkley said. Ò We were really counting on it.” The man who serviced the loan — who identified himself as George Willcone Ñ assured the couple that his organization could alleviate the burden of their financial woes. Ò He was Mr. Sweetheart — so nice, so sympathetic,” Dunkley said. When she recalls this first encounter, however, she is not so enamored by what she now considers to be the sweet-talking swindler.
