Ripoff, stole our money, be careful they will do it to you too

Business & Finance

On December 7 I recieved a phone call, (a female caller. Unfortunately I cant remember what name she gave me. But she said she was calling to inform me that I was approved for a 2500.00 mastercard and a free gateway computer.

All I had to pay was a one time processing fee of 354.90 and I would recieve my computer with in 21 days of them reciaving my money. I told her I could not afford to do it that day but maybe next month. So she said I could give her a post dated check over the phone and they would not take the money from my account until January 7. I was a little hesitant about giving my account information over the phone and asked her if I could send them the check instead.

She said no because this was a promotional givaway that mastercard was doing only at this time. So I was an idiot and gave her all my information and she told me the money would be taken out on January 7. I made sure to get a number to call her back and I also asked if they were registered with the Better Business Bureau, in which she replied yes.

I told my husband about this great deal on the computer and mastercard and he was very upset with me and said I fell for a scam and that I better try and call them back to cancel it. I did about an hour after the phone call and all I got was voice mail so I left a message. I left a total of 5 messages over the next couple weeks. Everytime I called I was put on hold for a long time and was disconnected after some time or I got the voice mail.

The last message I left them I finally told them that I had stopped payment on the transaction and if they tried to access my account I would file charges. I watched my account for any activity and on the 10th of January they still had not taken my money. I thought it was safe to mail out all of my bills for that week. I was wrong. I assumed they got my messages even though they never called me back to confirm.

But on January 12 they took the money from my account. When I saw this which was on the 17th of January, I called them and wow I finally got through to a real live talking person, and she said (her name was Mary) that I had to speak with an actuall person in order to cancel and that the fee I paid was a one time non refundable fee. I told her then I wanted to speak with her supervisor, guess what the supervisor was not there. So I left a message for the supervisor to call me the next day when Mary said he would be there.

He never called me and when I tried to call back after that I never got through. So I decided to look up the company online and I found this website usacomplaints. Coms. You can only imagine how I felt when I syarted reading through all of these reports from everybody from everywhere. I am so ashamed of my self. I can not belive these people, they do not care about anybody and how they hurt them.

Like everyone else on here, we do not have enough money to pay all our bills that went through after Janury 12 and so now we have bank fees and bounced check fees and I cant even go grocery shopping intil next month because of these evil people. I am calling out to anyone here who is interested in starting a lawsuit or class action suit or something, please contact me at through the rebuttal key.

My name is Tina and I will be waiting to hear from you. Like all of you here I am a victim of this crime too. I sincerely hate these peopl. Thank you First link for stealing food from my childrens mouth.
