A gentlemen by the name of Michael Treat has joined many of the Kansas City real estate meetups (ie. Kansas City Real Estate Mentoring and Network Group) but he has joined all of local meetups and networking groups recently this week.  They were promoting private lending here is the information I received, I did fill out a loan form but fortunately didn't provide any SSN or banking information.  I was somewhat skeptical from the beginning but continued to dig for information.  Since they were from around Kansas City area I opted to try to setup a meeting in person as I wanted to meet them and build a relationship, but since my request I haven't heard anything.  I continued to dig and was able to track their IP Address from their email and found that this IP address has been used for a lot of scams.  

If your intersted here is the IP Trace I did for the IP address I tracked down from the email exchange I did with this person
