And they never confirmed the exact interest rate for the loan.It was at this stage where I realised I might have been talking to a scammer.I just wanted to know if somebody else in the BB community have been approached by Jones Ronald, "Jones Private Money Loans" or if you ever had any experience with him/them (positive or negative).
