I was scammed out of $16,000.00 (VisaCard) by an internet education company in Idaho. Michael Cooper from "BCA RECOVERY" told me that his company could almost guarantee a rebate of the full amount to my credit card with the fee being 50% or $8,000.00.
Two weeks later he called me to tell me that the fraudulent internet company had returned the funds to my visa account. When I received my visa statement the full amount of $! 6,000.00 had been credited to my account. So I wrote a check to bca recovery for 50%: $8000.00.
The case was disputed by the company's merchant bank after 2 months and the credit of $16,000.00 was then re-billed to my visa card account. I fought the dispute but did not succeed in recovering the money; I then asked Michael at BCA to refund the 50% fee of $8,000.00.
He told me not to worry, I would get a refuind since the outcome was unsuccessful. Just be patient since he was trying another approach with visa; that was unsuccessful as well and I again requested that BCA return the $8,000.00 fee that I had sent them when Michael first informed me of the $16,000.00 visa rebate 2-3 months earlier.
I was unable to contact him at either his business or home phone and sent a series of e-mails to him with a response that at first some assurance that my money would be returned and then no response for 6 months.
I then realized that I had been scammed again for mailing an $8,000.00 check to his company not knowing that the dispute would be reversed. I have tried to get my money back with no success and I am sure that this was a very clever scam. I lost $8000.00 in an attempt to recover $16,000.00 so I was scammed out by 2 companies for a total of $24,000.00.
