I, along with several other people from USA, Canada and UK, was scammed by different people representing IncFortune, an online marketing company in LA. We were all given a website (the same one though we did not know that at the time) and promised that this website would make money for us.
For myself, I was contacted in Nov. 2009 by John Denton - who lives in Naples, Fl. - on behalf of IncFortune. This man guaranteed that Jumplaunch and Successrate, companies attached to IncFortune, would do all the advertising etc. Required to get this website up and running and bringing sufficient income to cover my MC loan before I required to make the payment.
He was most persuasive. He gave me his personal cell phone number and home phone number saying I could contact him anytime. Not only that, because I said I had a good credit rating but did not have a big enough allowance on my MC, he phoned MC and increased my allowance. I did not give him the security number on my card and MC did not contact me to see if this was OK. I assumed, falsely, that this was an honorable man with many dealings with MC and was to be trusted. How wrong I was.
One thing he did promise was an all expense paid trip to LA for a training seminar. This did occur and here I met the other people who had been similarly scammed, some by John Denton and some by other members of IncFortune and all with promises.
To date none of us have made any money. The seminar was educational and interesting and online and phone tutoring continues.
