Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
On October 20, 2004 I entered a website that was a Casino with the intent of playing a few games. It asked for credit card information which I figured it would and I gave. After that I entered the Casino and realized that I really didn't understand any of the games well enough to play so I got out without playing any games. When I received my credit card bill the Casino had charged my credit card for $1,000.00. I called my credit card company and told them what happened and reversed the charges. Now almost a year later I received a letter from the Neville Group, Inc. stating that Gold Palance and Affiliates sold the receivable to them and that they, the Neville Group, Inc. had contracted a leading investigative comapny to determine the perpetrator of the reversed transaction. The whole letter is very threatening as to what they are going to do to me.

I called them and the man I talked to was also very threatening. He told me that if I didn't pay $1,045.00 immediately that they would be contacting the police in my city and I would be arrested for fraud. I told him that I never spent one dime in that Casino but he said the $1,045.00 was the charge to enter the Casino site. I don't believe this and I will be fighting this case.

If anyone has a similiar experience I would appreciate hearing from them on this site.

The Neville Group, Inc. includes an affadavit with the letter that you fill out and have notarized if you believe them to be in error and I will fill that out and let this site know what happens.

Thank you,

I talked to the Secret Service and they told me to go ahead and have the document notarized and send via regular mail to Neville. I did that on September 12, and didn't hear anything until Friday, October 14, I received another threatening letter with the same affadavit and they said that they had never heard from me. I have been advised that this time I should have the document notarized and sent via registered mail which is what I will do. They are obviously a fradulant group if they can't keep track of who is responding to there letters. I will keep you posted as to what the FBI and SS say and what Neville does.

I have contacted the FBI and Secret Service about this group. They are looking into it and will get back to me. There are alot of reports about them and they are a scam. The Secret Service is in charge of this kind of scam. I also filed a fraud credit alert to all of the major credit reporting agencies and they are also looking into them.

Suddenly there are multiple complaints about the Neville Group. As of right now, there are 11 and all were filed on this website within the last two weeks. Many of the people being contacted now by Neville Group were previous victims of attempted credit card frauds. This suggests that the Neville Group is a front for whoever attempted to charge the credit cards in the first place. How else would they have gotten all their information? The threats of legal action are hollow. These people are not going to set foot in the U.S. Several of the reports on this site indicate that the addresses given are fakes and the telephone is actually answered in Panama. Has anyone actually been to the Neville Group's office in NYC? Chances are that the Neville Group is part of an international organized crime ring and possibly even a front for terrorists. I would recommend contacting the FBI immediately. Do not respond to anything you receive from the Neville Group.

Neville sounds like a group that buys the most uncollectable debts (real or not) for pennies on the dollar and tries to bully people into paying them. Even a marginal success rate would make them lots of money. Point #1. I don't think off-shore casino credit card debts are enforceable in the US. I see stories now and then about payments to them being intercepted by the government. I am not an expert, but I would investigate that. Point #2. The supplied "affidavit" is probably a trap of some sort. I wouldn't fill it out much less sign it unless it is reviewed by an attorney or other person capable of giving legal advice.
