Complaint Review: Continental Who's Who

I got a call from a man identifying himself as Chris Meyers.  He informed me that they were looking for professionals that excels in their business world or profession and he informed me that my name came out in Real Estate Industry.  First he asked me how long I have been doing it, what type of awards I received, what are my expertise etc.etc. 

I answered all the questions hoping that this will help my career.  He also claimed that there is about over 800,000 plus members who are enjoying getting connection from existing members.

He also claimed that they have advertising in different magazines and in Time Square in New York.
Members consists of Doctors, Lawyers, Politicians, Attorneys, Professor, High Caliber Individuals, etc.etc.

After having a long conversation with him, he told me that there is a membership fee.
For Sending me a Plaque of recognition, advertising all over the world, internet access.

I asked him if I could check the internet and he said " What we will be doing is send you your passwords after your membership was processed". 

So, I provided my credit card information to him.  After an hour, part of me was saying, check the internet and do research for these company.  That is when I found out the members are so little less than 200 instead of 800,000 plus that he was claiming.  I read all different complaints from different people that they also victimized. 

I called back and Chris Meyers said to me that I am having a buyer's remorse.  He referred me to his boss Kyle Madison and Mr. Madison told me that these advertising is non refundable.

Take note, everything happened in less than 24 hours.  He told me that is their company's policy and that they notified everyone during the process that these are final sales.

He said that all the conversation is being recorded and they will prove that was mentioned to me over the phone.  " He said, if he listen to our conversation with Chris Meyers and he did not mention about the non refundable cost, he will be gladly credit my card back".

Folks, this never happened.  I notified discover card and discussed the entire situation and provide them with my letter and correspondence and they responded to me this way"

"We've finished our investigation regarding the transaction of $599.50 from the Continental Whos Who.  Based on the information we received from THE CONTINENTAL WHOS, the transaction appears to be valid."

Please help me understand this whole process...why our credit card company favors SCAM BUGS..
I hope Cris Hansen from dateline investigate this Fraudulent Behavior.  We should put a stop to this nightmare.  I told Discover Card that probably $599.50 is not much for them, but this is a lot of money for me.  I am a single Mom trying to work day and night to provide shelter, education and food on the table.

If anyone could help me, please contact me.  Thank you for reading this...
