I answered a radio ad to purchase a PrePaid MasterCard Distributorship and was mailed a business opportunity video tape and quality sales materials.
I agreed to become a distributor which involved setting up of Kiosks with VCR showing video tapeed messages in English/Spanish to induce customers to pay $29.95 to vendor as cash register for an Activation Card and to fill it out an mail into Miami, FL where they were to supposedly issued you an FDIC Bank Issued PrePaid MasterCard within ten (10) days. SORRY - NO CARDS EVER SENT - There is where the SCAM lies.
Everything up to that point looked legitimate, but when it comes to ACTUALLY getting a PrePaid MasterCard sent toyou - IT NEVER HAPPENS.
I lost $24,617.00 to these scammers and another $5,000 in setting up my website (now defunct) and this total loss of $30,000.00 was to be my retirement money. All I wanted to do was to have a little business on the side where I could have a "route" and collect the sales from the vendors on a weekly basis.
MasterCard itself knew of these crooks, but did say that there are some legitimate banks issuing prepaid mastercards at some locations in America. Sadly, for me, this was a crooked company.
Look out for the Debit Corporation of America -or - the Credit Corporation of America -or - "AMERICARD"
Watch out for the company president named JACK GORDON or NANCY TIPP and look out for SANDY GOLD, DISTRIBUTORSHIP SALES, or watch out for LEE SMALLWOOD, Locator and definitely watch out for HARVEY WALL, Operations Manager. All Crooks and gutless ones at that. - they haven't got the courage to hold you up with a gun, but rather, through their twisted, evil and sick minds, they steal from you, your children and your grandchildren WHILE LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK.
If there are any other people who were swindled by these crooks, please report it to the authorities, although, expect to get a royal "KISS-OFF" from the Law Enforcement community.
