My name is Amanda Christian. | am a college graduate and a small business owner here in
Columbia, South Carolina. The on set of the Covid-19 Pandemic there was a lot of concern
about the future of small businesses. | found an ad online via craigslist and entered my
company information along with some personal info and identification and the response came
back and stated that | would be reached back out to if approved that the federal government
was providing funds for small business relief and if the funds were spent appropriately they
wouid forgiven if not they would have to repaid. company was experts in this area and they
would charge me a fee to prepare the documentation needed for the loan. | had no knowledge

listed as well as the amount deposited in my account. | immediately decided that something
must be wrong and decided to have the funds sent back. | have no criminal record and | am
