FIRST UNION CREDIT CREDIT CARD PROCESSING RIP-OFF! SCAM! NEW YORK NEW YORK
After additional research I have become just one of probably many other victims of these scam artists. Upon my initial contact from the person posing as a representative of "FIRST UNION CREDIT" I did an internet search through the Better Business Bureau site. Keyword "FIRST UNION CREDIT" brought up a report from Delaware indicating "MBNA America". At the bottom of the report it indicated "Additional Doing-Business-As-Names" and listed "First Union Credit Card" as an additional company name and had a long list of toll free numbers for these company representatives. All information concerning MBNA America was good indicating a very good performance record with the Better Business Bureau. As a result I felt confident that the company that called me was legitimate.
Apparently the person(s) running this scam had done their homework, using a viable company name as a front. From what I have read from the other victims of these people, I have endured most of the same problems. Initially I had no information on where the company was or their phone number. However, after my bank took the money out of my account I had a toll free number to get back in touch with them. In each situation I encountered the same rude attitude as previously reported by others in this report. Return of my money was out of the question.
To avoid rehashing the same complaints as others, I am submitting this report to hopefully provide some new information. First, I have the zipcode that my "so-called" credit card package was mailed from. The return address on the package says New York; however, the zip code on the package is different. Armed with this information, I am going to contact the FBI and see if they can get involved. Credit card fraud over national boundaries is a federal offense if I'm not mistaken, and I believe it is within FBI jurisdiction. Hopefully, even if I don't get my money back, we can get someone to catch and prosecute these con artists.
