by xxxxxxxx in Service Ripoffs

‘Wal-tirement’ a new teaser making the rounds through the mailboxes of millions these days emerges from none other than Stansberry Research’s The 12% Letter, ‘Wal-tirement’ is nothing more than a term coined by the editors of The 12% Letter Dan Ferris.
Satirical though these are the same people proclaiming long term growth of Wal-mart, Microsoft (MSFT), and their own stock ideas while at the same time predict ‘End of America’

Yet another tease for DRIP investing — Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIPs), predictably ‘Old Wine in a New Bottle’ a long long time after their very popular 801 K plans  tease, where a company sells stock to directly to investors,  and allow you to reinvest your dividends into new stock directly as well.

Leslie S. Mersky, CEO Bandcard Empire of Phoenix Arizona Scammer Beware!

by Fitch in Service Ripoffs

I was a victim of the following scam by Leslie S. Mersky, CEO of  Bandcard Empire out of Phoenix Arizona on Jan 29th 2009 as reported on  Jun. 8, 2010 03:06 PM in the

The Arizona Republic newspaper:

A 64-year-old Scottsdale man was indicted on charges of fraud and related crimes Tuesday after a search warrant was served on his business, Bankcard Empire of Phoenix.

Leslie Spencer Mersky made fraudulent charges to customers’ credit card accounts after selling them expensive “business opportunity packages” through the Internet, according to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.

The indictment alleges that Mersky told employees to cut and paste signatures from customers into unauthorized credit card payments, officials said. There have been numerous consumer complaints about Bankcard Empire, they added.

Authorities served a search warrant on Bandcard Empire of Phoenix Arizona two months ago.

Mersky was indicted on charges of fraudulent schemes and artifices, forgery, theft and aggravated identity theft.

This man ripped me off for $5,000 in credit card charges for advertising and services he not only never did but had no intention of fulfilling; however this is the least of my concerns at this point, even though, i continue to pay this credit card debt to this day!

More importantly that the money is that the entire business was a fraud and he solicited enough personal information from me and everyone else who fell for his scam (reportedly in the millions) to”steal their identity” (an affiliate was required to provide all of the same information for irs tax purposes as a legitimate employer would require for federal taxes).

This issue has not been address by the postal inspector generals office who has spent over a year now investigating bankcard empire while Mersky (who has been out on bond the entire time) could easily sell the information he gained on all affiliates to other crooks to us at a later date.

Identity theft scares the hell out of me as i could lose everything i have worked all my life for and it is being gained through these type of scams everyday by these type of scummy people from any and all people desperate for an alternate means of earning a living in this financial crisis today!

Sosasta.Com – Cheated me with a fake voucher

by Raghavendra Madasetty in Product Ripoffs, Service Ripoffs

Regarding the meal voucher purchased on sosasta.Com – cheated me with a fake voucher Order ID: sos_11229826

With reference to the order ID quoted in the subject I have something to complain about sosasta which had sold me a coupon which I can’t make use of and now claiming no guilt and offering me no refund.

I had ordered for “64% off – only 149 inr for a vegetarian meal worth 410 inr at akshayam vegetarian cuisine” , paid the deal amount I.E., 149 inr online on 31st august and had received the coupon over e-mail.

The coupon was purchased on august 31st 2011 and is valid till september 23rd 2011.

Since it was mentioned that the prior appointment to the restaurant is mandatory to avail the deal, I had called the restaurant on the numbers given to book an appointment during early september but was informed that “the restaurant is not in operation owing to some kitchen work and equipment procurement and will resume operations in a couple of weeks”. The restaurant spokesman assured the extension of validity for the coupon if it should be late for the restaurant to resume services and if the coupon expires before the same. I had called the same person on september 25 2011 who again had informed that the restaurant hadn’t yet resumed the services and is not in operation yet and that he is not even sure about the exact date of resuming the services”

but the coupon had already expired on september 23 2011.

Please note the following points:

1. Coupon was purchased on august 31st 2011 which is valid till september 23 2011, but the restaurant was not in operation for greater part of the time (or whole duration) between those days which is essentially why the coupon couldn’t be availed.

2. The restaurant hadn’t yet resumed operation and is closed even now.

3. It is absolutely due to communication gap between the sosasta and the restaurant which is why the they have sold a coupon which can’t be made use of. Inshort they had cheated the customer with a fake coupon because the coupon where it can be utilized, the restaurant was not in operation during that period.

I requested them to cancel the deal and refund me the full amount which I had paid online on 31st august 2011 that is 149 inr. But they started telling me that it can’t be refunded now as the coupon was already expired and I should have contacted me earlier.

Please note

1. I hadn’t contacted them earlier because the coupon is still valid and the restaurant spokesman assured me that it will take not more than a week to resume the services.

2. There is a communication gap between sosasta and the restaurant (which is absolutely not my problem and concern) which is why the sosasta people aren’t aware of the fact that restaurant wasn’t in operation and that they had sold a coupon which can never me made use of.

It is solely an offense and a legally punishable offence at their end on grounds of “misleading information” and “cheating the customers”.

I demand full justice and compensation on this issue and refund of whole amount as it wasn’t my mistake to purchase the coupon but only an offense at the merchant’s end to sell a “can’t be availed coupon”..

Bankcard Empire and Capitol One are Partners in Crime!

by Mathew Garm in Service Ripoffs

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.

Why DailyWealth Premium is not so valuable.

by xxxxxxxx in Service Ripoffs

After several years of subscribing to what they call, Daily Wealth Premium I feel that  Sjuggerud is a bit inexperienced, does not have sufficient market skills under his fold, and the proper past perspective for his judgment calls. As an example, he likes to say the phrase “XXXXXX is as cheap as it’s ever been” a lot, whereas “been” in the case of stocks is merely 20 years and assumes a typical post-WWII recovery (i.e. further P/E expansion from an already overvalued level).
Or he’ll pooh-pooh the inconsistency between comparing trailing P/E and forward P/E which is a very mainstream and erroneous fad.
He recently admitted that the trend is more important than valuation, but he has tended to be a bit too early on his calls. His relatively recent and future calls may be more finely-tuned now that he relies on systematic models from his True Wealth Systems service which appears to be mostly optimized with moving averages with fundamental factors.

That said “DailyWealth Premium  is not even an advisory., It’s ads only. They advertise how well they’ve done in the past.

Don’t go there to find any new buying opportunities. I read it primarily for educational purposes, to keep up with trends, etc.
