September 2015 I received a call from a Paul Matthews' claiming he represented a recovery company for individuals who have been the victim of fraud. He directed me to the Arizona Commission Corporation.gov (www.azcc.gov) website confirming his company, Online Education Development, LLC, Business #L19135344, as a legitimate legal status doing business in AZ; and, as well directed me to The Better Business Bureau with no complaints and company in good standing.
I then shared the particulars of the scam in question. The name, dates, and amounts in question. He sympathized my situation and said he could help. He gained my trust! He is a personable individual! He empathized with my situation in being a victim of fraud and assured me he could obtain funds through this recovery process because my name was indeed on Court Records. I believed he had information from a US Court System because I understood the previous company that frauded me was put out of business and legal action had been taken against them. I was lead to believe by Mr. Matthews' there were funds available set aside by the Court system to be returned to those individuals who were scammed; and that Mr. Matthews' company was authorized to contact people on that victim list.
Their Recovery Fee was 15% and I needed to send $416 via Walmart-2-Walmart in the name of Mark Hebert. There was a deadline because he said they "bunch" claims together when they go to the Court to present the names to release the funds to Online Education Development, LLC. Once those funds are released to them in a two week time frame, a private currier will then deliver to my home address at a designated time, Monday, September 28th, between Noon~4pm. By 4:15pm that check in the amount of $6,861.50 never arrived and I knew, once again, I had been the victim of yet another scam!
I am slowly becoming aware that others who have been scammed out of more money than me must feel not only victimized once again by these people but the method by which it happens is just deceptive and they work on your own feelings of that loss, but they give you a hope toward a recovery amount. They manipulate you and know your vulnerabilities. For me, I wanted to believe them because I knew that promised money would pay off pending bills and give me relief! I wanted to believe Mr. Matthews because our conversations were of a caring and concern in earnest nature. He felt my pain of the first loss. He even said to me, "I hope I don't see your name on any other list from now on!" I confirmed, "You won't, I promise!"
It may seem ricdulous and unrealistic, but I am hoping that if he reads this (because I called him to let him know I was reporting him and his company) that they return those funds to those who were victims again. In these times of financial hardships, being scammed of money you cannot do without is difficult enough, but for it to go yet another scam ~ is just not right ~ its just not! I believe strongly in Karma! And I hope Mr. Matthews does too!
