I was a victim of the Leslie Mersky, Bankcard Empire, Merchant Referral Services scam.

I was scammed for over 30k on this, to my shame. American Express did the right thing and got the money back from the criminals. The Company I’d like to report on though is Capitol One. Capitol one refused to get the money back after I proved (as if I had to) that this was a scam.

They sided with known scammers with criminal records, and still to this date, two years later have been collecting interest off me for the 15K.  All their commercials about vikings and such don’t amount to a hill of beans as they are known to side with criminals and profit from Ill gotten gains as in this case, now well over $3,000.00 in interest. Anyone who holds Capitol One Credit Cards should destroy them. They will not help you, even when the known people that scammed you are known criminals with records.

They have held !
that I signed papers, thus they couldn’t do a charge back, but even if I did, would those papers hold up in court from known scammers? Capitol Ones greed in this situation is unheard of. They have also closed their eyes to rules governing such things by the OCC, and as worthless a government organization is as the OCC, the OCC will not do anything about it.

This whole experience was a scam that Capitol One has made a great deal of profit from, where a cardholder got no goods or services from a 15K investment, and the perpetrators where shut down by the law as known scammers, and capitol one refused to get a refund of the money. Capitol one should be listed as an acoomplice to this crime, as they provided the means, and the Loophole for these criminals to do their dirty deeds.
