I reviewed my online account and saw a charge for manworld.wcpay.com which led me to the buymixtapes.com site, which has it as its payment method along with a string of numbers. (first sign, website with no .html or "@.com" a redflag.

Not only did I call, but my bank fraud investigator called 724-733-7091 and you get a message, no voice mail, no options, and you cannot submit an email unless you give "too much" information. In other words, they have no way for you to contact them directly.

I posted a complaint and my experience under WCSPAY which my research concluded WCPAY is World Card Servoce SarL, a company based in Luxembourg. I did a search on them and the only results on them came up from "ripoffreport.com".

So either buymixtapes.com is a front (mind you I'm not a DJ, not into music, Im a graphic designer, history buff and have no need for buying tape mixes) or buymixtapes has no idea that they are using a company relying on fraud on an international level.

My Bank was expedient in getting my false and illegal charges remedied and reversed as I caught it immediately, but I also appreciate that I work with .5 miles of the FCC and here in North Virginia, which is just, literally, a stone throw across the river of Washington DC that if complaints continue, that federal investigations will be made.

I suggest anyone with any charges from mansworld.wcspay.com, any company affiliated, use something else; you may be half a world away but the cyber world has no limits.

I was lucky that I am resourceful enough and caught this immediately, these people who commit fraud, out of the US, remaining one step ahead don't realize how much they harm innocent people. In my case, I am a single divorced mother with 3 kids. Had I not caught this, we would have gone hungry.

To any attorney, law firm, I will give an affidavit or Certification if either of these two entities are ever caught and will seek civil, punitive and criminal action against them to the furthest extent of the law.

Shame you you World Card! Shame on you buymixtapes! Victimizing innocent people. You can fool some people all of the time but you can't fool all the people all the time.

I hope that if you are ever caught by federal agencies that you are all upheld to the highest degree of the law, considering that what you have done to me, and others, a federal and international crime.

Good luck to you.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!

HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF REPORT SUGGESTS YOU DO:

Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.

According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.

If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.

Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!

DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.

And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.

Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.

If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.

CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD

If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.

Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.

And good luck Let us know how you do!

Thank you for your "prompt" response and your comments. Apparently you're as much as a victim as I am. I was able to immediately remedy the charges and though the immediate billing trail led to your company and services, would thereby make someone think you were endorsing fraudulent charges.

I thereby suggest to you, as I was not "Stupid" to use my card at Burger King or other in other non secure manners, it is YOUR site that uses this fraudulent company as a method of payment. Its called guilty by association.

I suggest that you, to protect your business, credibiity, that you use Paypal or other accredited, known and approved SECURE websites for payments.

I was immediately reimbursed because I was able to narrow down as you suggested. But if I am one victim and your website the one who has the finger print on the smoking gun, do what you can to protect yourself. You're a victim, I hate that word, of this company and fraudulent charges. Its apparent some DJ company in PA is not exactly the same as the culprit as the company based in Luxemborg.

And if you were so concerned, why do I hear from you SEVERAL months after the fact and on this website? Is this what you call "Customer Service"?
Not calling people back? Having no voice mail lor email? You only respond to a posted Bulletin Board post even if it was erroneous?

and THANK GOD for sites like this. Had it not been, I wouldn't have gotten my money back so fast.

I reiterate.... two suggestions.
1. Improve Customer Service and respond directly to people who have complaints, concerns or issues.

2. Use a SECURE method of payment like Paypal. It protects YOU as a business entity and your customers.

With no customers you have no business. With people like me getting ripped off from fraudulent companies that you use, you get feedback like this disparaging your business. Do your homework Like I did mine. The only thing I did wrong was thing that your company would HELP me find out what the erroneous charges were, but to no avail.

Say what you want about me, my family, my finances, the speculation of my lifestyle, lack of judgement... the finger and immediate email trail came to your company.

Want to save your business? Use Paypal and resort to more professional and compassionate methods of helping your "customers".

Wrong Business

Well, leave it to this site to bring out the best in idiots that think they are doing some justice. First, the transaction did not come from us. Second, why would you not go to http://mansworld.wcspay.com as it shows up on your billing descriptor? They have all the help you can ask for on that site. They are a 3rd party payment processor much like paypal.

Third, I guarantee the transaction is 3 times higher than any amount we charge on the site, but you still continue to whine to the wrong people. Then, you also see mansworld.wcspay.com's phone number in your billing descriptor. They are an international company.

But, being how smart you are, you decide to call my site about the issue. Now it's obvious why someone stole your credit card information, your not too smart in the first place. Fraudulent transactions are monitored every hour on my site and are dealt with accordingly. I'm sure you e-mailed my site and complained. Were you not sent an e-mail stating the transaction did not come from us and also where and how to contact them? But then you feel you are doing yourself justice by coming to this site and making statements that has nothing to do with my company.

If you have a transaction from Wal-Mart, do you call Burger King and dispute the transaction with them? So why would you bother my site with a transaction that never occured through my site and I have no idea about. The information needed is in the billing descriptor mansworld.wcspay.com (website) and their phone number is listed right next to that. But you and your trusty internet search engine brought up my site because I was one of their 3rd party companies they process payments for.

Keep in mind, I know it's hard to remember, but they processor for many many other companies. That's what a 3rd party payment processor does. This has to be the best comment you left "I am a single divorced mother with 3 kids. Had I not caught this, we would have gone hungry." But yet, you state that you have money for lawyers, live in Washington DC and you also have the money to purchase a computer to pay for the internet and make ridiculous statements, but yet your family is on the verge of starvation.
