Complaint Review: Gapbusters Worldwide - New York Internet

gapbustersworldwide is a huge scam!!!!!!!!!! they send you fraduent FAKE checks and they try to steal your identity. I recieved my information after I registered online. i faxed in my information and recieved my first red flag here, when I called in.

The guy i spoke with every single time i called (second red flag) is named Micheal and he has a british accent (red flag 3?) he sounded unsure when I asked him if he had recieved my fax. he told me to deposit the check, wait 24 hrs so that it would clear and then call back to recieve my assignment. My bank put a hold on the check and said that 500$ would be avaliable and the rest (the check was about 3800) would be avaliable in 2 days. Well, I called my bank when it never cleared and they informed me that the bank from which the check was from, did not honor it and that I was involved in some type of fraud. I was livid.

I called, once again getting Micheal and he explained (without any consideration) thAt he would have the financial department call me. I waited an entire day with no call of course. I called him back and he was saying that they were incredibly busy and he would get them to call me. I called again, he sounded nervous so I asked to speak to his supervisor. He then told me that he would have to call me back and hung up in my face.

here is when I knew without a doubt I had been scammed and I couldnt believe I was dumb enough to fall for it. I called again from a different number because believe it or not, they were not answering from my cell/ Micheal got frustrated when he heard it was me, exclaimed that he was trying his best. I cursed him out and asked him if this was something he typically saw, banks withholding the check because their bank wouldnt honor it. He said no. I never got a chance to speak to his "supervisor" or his "financial department" but he passed a message from them to me saying he did not know what happened, but they would send me another check. I agreed and I began to record our conversations so i could take legal action and I needed that check for evidence.

I talked to Micheal the next day (after trying several phone numbers that he did not recognize) and each time he realized it was me, he would breathe in dissapointment! All of a sudden, he told me that the only way they could get the funds to me was if I gave him my account number and routing number. I personally wanted to drive to NY (thats where the check's return address is) and beat his a*s because I realized what lenghts they would go to. I was also sad because just like I semi-fell for it, I know people go all the way.

I cursed him out saying hell no I dont trust you guys! He gave up and said "there is nothing we can do for you" just out of the blue and hung up in my face. I called him because I had spoken to my bank and they told me I had tried to cash a counterfeit check and they were clsoing my account. I called him and all I could say was "Please void my contract" and he said "It has alreayd been voided" and hung up in my face. So now I am stuck with a balance because of when the check hit my account and also "counterfeit activity" on my bank history. Thats fine because I am taking legal action as we speak. I hope you and Gapbusters are ready Micheal!
