American Pardon Services US PARDON SERVICE TOOK $500 FROM TORONTO , Ontario
ON 8/7/2009 I CONTACTED US PARDON SERVICES FOR THE PURPOSE OF GETTING A PARDON OR EXPUNGEMENT.WHILE,SPEAKING WITH THE GENTLEMEN ON THE PHONE,HE STATED,THE FEE WOULD BE $500 FOR A PARDON/EXPUNGEMENT BUT,IF I COULD SEND
HIM THE $500 BY 1:00 PM,HE WOULD GIVE ME A DISCOUNT OF $400.I TOLD HIM THAT I DID'NT HAVE MY DEBIT CARD @ THE TIME BUT,THAT I WOULD GET BACK TO HIM.UPON RETURNING HOME I CALLED HIM BACK,@ THIS TIME HE STATED THAT HE WOULD HAVE
TO CHECK WITH HIS SUPERVISOR TO SEE IF HE COULD GIVE ME A DISCOUNT.WHEN HE RETURNED TO THE PHONE,HE EXPLAINED,I CA'NT GIVE YOU A DISCOUNT BECAUSE THE COMPUTER WO'NT EXCEPT IT.IT WAS @ THIS TIME THAT I BEGAN FEELING UNEASY
WELL,IT WAS BASICALLY TOO LATE,BY THIS TIME HE HAD MY ACCT#AND WAS ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF RETRIEVING THE FUNDS FROM MY ACCOUNT.THIS WAS'NT THE BAD NEWS HOWEVER,AFTER, CONTACTING US PARDON SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES
IN AN EFFORT TO CANCEL THE SERVICE,I RECIEVED ONE CD FOR WHICH I WAS TOLD WOULD EXPLAIN EVERTHING IN DETAIL ON HOW TO GO ABOUT GETTING A PARDON/ EXPUNGEMENT.NEEDLESS,TO SAY HAD I BEEN AWARE THAT I WAS PAYING $500 FOR
A CD {NOT EVEN GOLD}I WOULD HAVE NEVER CONTACTED THEM @ ALL.
AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RECOVER MY FUNDS,I WAS TOLD BY US PARDON SERVICES THAT I HAD RECEIVED THE MERCHANDISE OR GOODS THAT I HAD REQUESTED,WRONG,I NEVER ASK FOR A CD AND CERTAINLY NEVER EXPECTED WHAT
I THOUGHT WAS A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION WHICH,DOES'NT GIVE LEGAL ADVISE,BUT STILL RELATES THEIR SERVICES TO HELPING PEOPLE BY REFERRING THEM IN A JUDICIAL MANNER OR CAPACITY, WOULD BE AS MANIPULATIVE AS THE THE CLIENTS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SERVING.WELL,I LOST $500 AND GAINED
ONE COSTLY LESSON,I HOPE THIS CAN BE OF HELP TO SOMEONE ELSE IN THE FUTURE

I notice you have not made mention of the CONTENTS of the CD provided to you in attempt to assist you in acquiring a pardon in your state. Although the CD was not "GOLD" as you would expect for the $500.00 price, I'm sure its contents were of higher value than that amount of money it cost. I am assuming this is simply your reaction to a purchase you made without asking all the details, clearly you must have been in search of help in accomplishing a Pardon, to be frank, it seems you did in fact get that assistance. I can't be sure what you complain is...

You though some non-existant organization could get you a pardon ?????? What planet do you live on ????? Geeeezzzzz. PT Barnum was RIGHT !!! There IS one born every minute. And, by the way, it PLAINLY states on ROR to NOT post in all capital letters. I see you can't follow instructions, either.

In your favor(although only slightly) is that you gave them your Debit Card number and not a MoneyGram. You need to report this to your bank to keep them from attempting to withdraw any more money, you may also be able to get your bank's fraud department to reverse the charges.
Think about this for the future why would a company in a Foreign country be able to help you with US law? Yes, Toronto Ontario is in Canada which is a Foreign Country.
