I fell for this one. I invested money for leads, then invested more with different companies to establish a business, obtain making help, & a website. Don't know if all of these companies are somehow connected. All for no return. $40,000. I wish I could sue or at least get my money back.
I also got a call from the same number. The Gentleman said his name was Paul Hamilton ,
he said he lived in Dover Delware. He also said that his website is www.mpnpro.com.
He explained that I had to pay for an Agent I'd, a merchant banking license, and an agent
ID number. Then he put a lady on the phone and she wanted to take a picture of my credit card back and front, and a picture of my drivers License, I then told the lady sorry I can't do that . I was told that I would receive emails for different address of businesses in St Petersburg, all I had to do is send emails regarding the chip for a MasterCard , and each business that would open an account , I would make $500.00 for each business,and then I could make 1 %on going off of every business that they could talk into using a credit card with the chip rather than a bank . The Company was going to save them banking fees by using a credit card instead of a bank, they said it would be a lot cheaper. The man that talked to me seem to have a very aggressive voice,that's why I started not believing him.
The charge for my license was going to be $496.00 dollars.
I also forgot to list another number, I got disconnected from the man I was talking too.
They called me back from this number. 212 555 1212 . The 212 area code is located around Manhattan New York. I also forgot to mention that the man said he had a 86 year old father that worked for him, and his father was a Christian.
I wanted everyone to know I called the 212 555 1212 number back and it is disconnected . I also called the 302 213 6311 says unknown name / private number,
no one answered just left a message .

I received a call from two different people from this phone number ( 302-213-6311 ) and was told that for a $ 500. investment to have your own business and make $ 4,000 to $ 5,000 per mo. guaranteed sounded too good to be true and I learned that it is a SCAM. There is an on going investigation on these people now and they will catch up with them soon.
