The mask comes off and the MCA fraud is exposed


For weeks, I believed I was working with Matt Owens. He both sent me emails, texts, and papers to sign. I thought he was a real person doing real business.


At the time for the second loan to start, I tried to contact him. For days I tried calling and texting. No responses.


When I finally reached someone else at SuperFast Capital, they told me, “We don’t have anyone here named Matt Owens. We don’t have a lawyer named Jason Caldwell either.”


My stomach dropped.


The names I trusted weren’t real at all. They were fake identities. Behind both of them was the same man: Gabriel Shamuelov.


He used fake names, fake signatures, and fake promises to trick me into signing and paying. The people I thought were helping me never even existed.


That was the moment the mask came off.


And it was the moment I knew this wasn’t just bad business — it was merchant cash advance fraud.


The truth was sinking in. This wasn’t help for my business. It was a trap. I was about to find myself in a web of MCA fraud.
