I had just started a business on the internet through Amazon ( May 2017) when I was contacted by this company to set up my business account under a corporate business umbrella to keep all my income (finances) out of my personal name and out of reach of the gov't so it would not affect my social security benefits. set up a press release which would be sent out to all major outlets, and set me up with a course in a corporate education program (which was approved to pay in monthly installments of $94.00 per month once the business got started.
AlsoThey led me to believe that they were another Amazon affilliate associated with the Alpha Marketing Group that I had invested in a few months earlier that developed 2 websites for me which I later found out were not affilliated with them at all. In the last 2 months I have been called by a company called UAS that claim that I owed them money for the corporate education program. I paid them $94.00 in November and now they are saying I am 3 months behind and that I owe $306 and can be turned into a collection agency if I don't get this paid up. I have explained to them I have no money to pay them as I have never received any income for any of the so-called work USA did for me which I invested about $5,000 in. I was trying to find a phone number for First USA when I found this website on how to report and claiming being scammed by First USA. I was totally shocked to see this but extremely thankful that this site came up.
This is my experience with First USA Business Development, If anyone has any ideas how I can get help to get this money returned I will be very greatful to hear from you.
I had invested $20,000 with Brunswick Merchant Services via wire transfer on 03/03/2017, and had agreed to pay $2000 for support serivces and training and another $5000 to set up line of credit to buy more leads. My investment was to of purchased 270 leads that their sales team would try and sell credit card machines and cash advance loans. On March 7 I got my first call from Anthony he told me they were affilated with Brunswick and he knew how much was to be place on my Discover Card and how much on Chevron Visa, This was for Website Package-First Step Affilate Program-which I never received; Press Release Business Action Plan, Corp Education Plan and Social Media Marketing. With third party marketing for a total of $15,675.00 I sent in Cancellation of all on 03/13/17, when I spoke to Keith Wiseman at Brunswick Merchant Services and he said they were not affilated with First USA and he would take care of getting this contract stopped. On 03/13/17 Jim Genia with Business Plans called me and I told him I wanted to cancel their services. I had three calls from Anthony and one from Lisa on 03/13/17 trying to talk me ou of cancelling. I told them what I needed was help in getting LLC Anthony asked to resind the contract and he would remove the charges I did not need, and charge me for what I did need. I should of never signed it as he lied and now they are refusing my refund and trying to keep the charges on my credit card. The only help that was conpleted by this firm was about i hour on the phone with Lynn Maloney 813-863-9057 to help me set up the LLC. which I filed on 04/12/2017 Their is no Face Book posts for me or anyone else in Eatonville WA from FirstUSA so they have not spent time on my account prior to my asking for a refund or since then. I have learned Brunswick Merchant Services is a Fraud, they are currently being investigated by the FBI, They are not affilated with FirstData, and they are not located at the Address listed on their contracts. Since FirstUSA got my information from them, I fear they are also not on the level
