7/28/05 after conducting an internet search looking for work at home on my computer, I received a call from Paul Ghassemi, Senior Investment Advisor, USA Card Services, USA Merchant Systems.
He offered, if I qualified, they would invest in a $5,000 Program that included the following, with NO upfront money from me. They would SET UP my E-COMMERCE WEBSITE. Professional design.
Domain name & hosting. Shopping cart (unlimited products) Access to drop ship companies. Access to name brand products to sell. They advertise me. Guaranteed TOP of YAHOO, MSN, CNN.
Submission to 200 more search engines, 250 color business cards, Customized logo. THhey train me. Complete 8 week internet marketing course. Professional guidance to finding my niche market.
Toll FREE support hotline and 24/7 email support. I accept payment... I make money. Credit card terminal. Accept VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER, AMEX Accept checks by fax, phone, and internet.
Because they make their money from credit card transactions, the quicker I am selling means the quicker "we" are making money. To be considered you will need to go through a brief live interview by phone.
I was extremely skeptical and unbelieving. I checked their site and found they were a BBB registered business felt better, dealing with them, although I asked if they could give me contacts of successful people.
Other than the testimonials listed, he declined. He assured me that he understood my lack of belief because there were so many scam companies, but assured be his company was not. I had to trust them.
10/18/05 I made the bad choice of involving myself with this company. I was interviewed by Timm Sasser, Consultant, after being credit check, was approved. Papers were faxed back and forth not quite legible, but quick.
I ended up with a non-cancellable contract for 48 months with A1 Leasing, $109.94 monthly times 48 months. A whopping $5,277.12. Of which I was debited today $109.94.
USA Card Services gives $300., bonus for recommendations. I called a friend of mine yesterday asking if she would be interested in this company.
She being much more intelligent, than I, came to the usacomplaints.com, web site and confirmed numerous complaints on these folks, thus, enlightened me.
11/3/05 I reported this to the FTC. 11/4/05 reported them to Florida, Office of Attorney General, 11/04/05 reported them to the Division of Consumer Services. This is the beginning.
I was advised to immediately call my bank and cancel the automatic monthly debit of $109.94. My future attempt will be to get back $109.94 debited today.
The Nurit 2085, credit card processing machine is ready to ship back to them. It was mailed to me by USA Card Services, Texas, I have box.
If this whole experience can prevent anyone scammed by these particular lowlife invaders of this planet, I am very happy.
I am retired federal employee with a measely pension, quess what, I am not letting them get away with this, nor should anyone.
