The Call That Started It All

How it all began

The man on the line said his name was Matt Owens. He told me he worked for a company called SuperFast Capital. His voice was smooth and confident. He sounded like someone who had helped hundreds of businesses just like mine.

Matt told me he had looked over my business and already had me “pre-approved” for funding. He said, “You won’t need to fill out a bunch of forms or wait weeks. I can make this simple.”

At the time, I was busy growing MedTech and cash was tight. I wanted to believe him. He promised me not just one round of money, but three: $75,000 now, $150,000 later, and $300,000 after that.

It felt like a lifeline.

Matt called and texted me often. He answered questions right away. He told me about his “legal team” and “underwriters.” Everything he said made it sound like he was an insider who knew exactly how to help.

Looking back, that call was the start of it all.

It was the moment the trap was set.
