Company Ripped off approx 60 thousand cosumers for over $540,000,000. Attorney General filed lawsuit. 08-00. Company officially goes out of business 09/00. So I file dispute because it was FRAUD. They gave me credit but then this company opened up under same name but under NEVADA Corporation to fight the chargebacks. Anyways...so my bank sends the REBUTTAL to me and I reply to it even though #1 the company is out of business and #2 the Merchant bank was not the merchant bank at the time of my contract with the company. So can I SUE THIS BANK? This is totally ILLEGAL is it not? To accept a rebuttal from the company pretending to be same company I did business with? Also the case was sent to ARBITRATION (with all the company lies) and obviously my information was not SUBMITTED. So I lost the case in arbitration.
I think you need to go get a competent attorney to advise you. I'm sure not qualified, but there are one or more attorneys who do watch this board as far as I know. Maybe one of them could help you a bit, but online or off line, you need to see an attorney.
If you are still referring to the 'Phone Card Scam' you were ripped off on, then I am sure you are going to have to follow the ruling of the State and lawyers already handling the case. I am not a lawyer, and I do not know the law, but it seems pretty obvious that you guys lost your money in an illegitimate scheme and, sad as that may be, it is gone. Write off the loss on your taxes and move on with the knowledge that you are not going to 'get rich quick' in a scam. Shawn
