I didn't get a call but just opened my latest VISA statement tonight and noticed a charge of $228.00 made by an outfit called IP-GMSALES.COM. Needless to say, this was a complete surprise and I intend to not let them get away with this. I am an attorney and have spent the past two hours looking into this fraudulent company and it is definitely fraudulent. They appear to be in cohoots with other companies who are also probably running fraudulent operations and it appears that IP-GMSALES.COM collects the money for these fraudulent companies' transactions. For example, go to the internet and check out a company called "Infinity Global Services" which appears to provide "offshore financial services" in Belize and other places. which includes setting up offshore accounts for which the customers pay a fee. If you click the tab called "Payment Instructions" you'll see that particular transaction made on this website will apppear as a transaction made by IP-GMSALES.COM.
I don't know about all of you, but I am not only going to call my bank tomorrow but I intend to call the FBI, the Justice Dept., and other applicable governmental agencies which pursue fraud, and especially fraud conducted over the internet. Also, if indeed, IP-GMSALES.COM is located in Australia, which I don't think it is, I intend to contact Interpol and have them go after these crooks. In that regard, what would really help to get rid of this scam and possibly put these people behind bars, which is where they belong, it would really help if all of us who were defrauded by these individuals, this company, and I suspect other companies involved, join together and pursue having these governmental agencies go after this for all of us because, after all, there IS strength in numbers and I have a feeling this is a large fraudulent operation which may need more than one person to complain about it.

By the way, in response to "Linda's" post of 9-23-2007, although they gave her information concerning the person who allegedly made this charge on her card (i.e., and not them), this apppears to be just one more of the ploys companies such as this use to put the blame on another person. While she may wish to contact that person, I stil think the company just used the name of someone else they are scamming to put the blame on that person. If not and that person actually did make the unauthoried transaction, she shouldn't expect too much in getting her money back from him. THIS IS ALL JUST PLAIN FRAUD, GUYS!! BUT WE SHOULDN'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!!
