I am a victim of the Mediworks, Inc (medical billing from home-software) scam. I sincerely wanted to do a good job for local doctors if they needed me. I ordered the software, tried to run the CD on my computer but found that my computer lacked something to run the CD properly. I found out that my computer had some hardware difficulties... Paid $200.00 to get that fixed and still the software would not run. Within 10 days I had $360.00 debited from my Visa & Mastercard (could not afford the software on just one card-had to spread it out on
two) by the 90 trial period I had informed the authorization center that I needed to return the software package since my computer would not run the material. I got an authorization number, I faxed the regisitration information to them and prepared to return the package.
I boxed everything, manuals, CD etc. Paid postage and insured the item to get to Monrovia, California with an return receipt request. Meanwhile I wrote a second letter to an Sherman Oaks address to state my case and await the credit to be posted to my credit cards. (DUMB ME)
Months went by and I had the computer fixed! Got on the net to search for a website for Mediworks and saw information on the owner, operator etc and a Better Business Bureau WARNING! I filed a complaint with the BBB in California and received a POSTCARD acknowledging my position. I was told to contact the BBB if anyone from the company contacted me. NO ONE, NOT EVEN THE BBB has offered a followup!
Via the Internet, I now see the FTC involved in court preceedings against them... While other classified ads still appear in my local paper with the same COMEON. This time Medicorsame MO. Trying to get some information from the telemarketer to pass on to the??? FTC, Attorney General??? Or somebody I pretended to be interested in "their" offer. Having made no commitment to Medicor< I hung up. 30 days later they call me! Assuring me that I am desperately needed to do billing in my area. HA HA Again I left them hanging! Seems all a scammer has to do is move to another jurisdication, change the name alittle, change the wording on the ad and they are still in business.
Wish I could get this information to some agent that will follow through and get that ad removed from the papers so other people will not be harmed. Any ideas where i can go from here to get satisfaction? Will i ever get my money back? They have their so call product back!
