Scam - Report it to the FTC
Complaint
J
Country: United States
I receive a call from “account services”/”card member services”/”card holder services” EVERY DAY around noon. They refuse to remove my number, despite many requests. They often are very rude & give bogus information when I try to get more company info. The only thing I know to do is file a complaint with the FTC & I suggest all you do the same, hopefully with enough complaints they will shut this horrible company down. It is a quick & easy form. https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx please note that your phone number must be on the Do Not Call registry before your complaint is applicable – so if you have not registered your phone number on the National Do Not Call list, please do so : https://www.donotcall.gov/register/reg.aspx?panel=3

“arranging for other merchants to process credit card payments for the defendants”
Amended Complaint;
http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/1223174/index.shtm
Question? Why haven’t the “other (Florida) merchants/venders” been brought to justice?
AWD_Preliminary_Report_of_Reciever.pdf
Case 2:12-cv-02248-FJM, Filed 10/29/12 (page 11,15,16)
“Its primary vendor – City Tech Guys
(“City Tech”) – charged $125 per day “per seat”.
Over the last several months, Western GPS has paid
City Tech approximately $2,000-$2,500 per day for robocalls.
The primary contact person at City Tech was Mohammed Ullah, with whom
Western GPS personnel were in contact each day about the details of call flow, volume, and technical quality.”
“Mr. Castine has been versatile in finding and providing access to merchant
accounts. From approximately June 2011 through November 2011, under the names of
AFB and Concord, he ran charges through the AWD and CAM Services merchant
accounts arranged by Ambrosia. But, in November 2011, AWD’s merchant account was
shut down and shortly thereafter the CAM Services account was also closed. This left
Western GPS with no way to conduct business and it actually ceased operations for several weeks as it scrambled to find a vehicle to process consumer payments.
GPS found a temporary solution through Mr. Wayne Norris, owner of two Florida
entities involved in similar interest rate telemarketing ventures – W&M Enterprises (“W&M”) and WM&T Enterprises (“WM&T”). Both were formed in February, 2012 and promptly secured merchant accounts which Mr. Norris made available to Western GPS. From approximately February, 2012 through April, 2012, Western GPS ran their charges through these merchant accounts, paying a 37% fee for the privilege.”
I want to point out two statements that are WRONG though.
“…phone companies themselves. It is not illegal for them to share your number.”
WRONG- There is No Legal “contract” when one party benefit’s the most. And the phone carriers, robo-dialers, et-al cardholder services, phony- home security, surveys, and sweepstakes certainly are the only ones to benefit from these organized crimes.
“At this point, what they do is legal because they have recorded permission to dock the card.”
WRONG again- There is NO point of legality or legitimacy from the illegal collection of Consumers DNC phone numbers, illegal revenue sharing, credit card laundering, racketeering, to stealing from American Consumers, Period.
I have called the Federal Trade Comm. and filed complaints and have also filed online. I filed with the DNC list too even though they are run by the FTC. ALL these services are working....just haven't stopped these harassing phone calls yet.
Looked as if I am calling myself. Amazing!!! How Do we stop this? I am on the no call registry.
