While sitting at home on Saturday, December 29th, I received a phone call from Diamond First Premier VMC from representative William Lumpkin. The rep told me that I had been improperly processed in July by a former employee who's file he recently took over. He said he noticed the error and called to fix it. He offered me a 5,000 credit line with visa or mastercard each with a 2,500.00 cash advance limit.
The rep stated lots of information that sounded concrete and when I questioned the validity of the deal he was confident in letting me know that no bank of card informatioin was going to be shared and that I should feel free to report them to the Better business bureau or FDIC ect.
He informed me that there would be a 750.00 deposite due to my credit history but that he would wave the fee but I would have to pay an insurance deposit which is refundable in 60 days. He went on to read lots of factual information about the credit card. I was then told i needed to wire the payment of $280.00 that day so I did. The next day he called again and said he made me pay the wrong fee and that I needed to send 150.00 more so that he could finish my package. I told him i could not send that much but i could do 75 and that when i get the card I can pay the rest using the cash a withdrawal.
He made a call and said he got me through with 75.00. So, i sent it and this time it was to go to the insurance agent Frank Tate.
After sending the money i sat in my car and put al the pieces together and they did not quite fit. Why was he calling me on a Sunday? Why did I have to use the regular Western Union send form rather than the Quick Collect form. Why was the money order made out to an individual and not the company?
I was to receive my package today and as you can guess it did not show up and FedEx has no record of the package.
How can i get my money back? Since i was a western union transaction is it possible to get it back?
I really hope that this report saves someone from getting trapped.
