International Payment Center Complaints - Scam and fraud

Review all International Payment Center complaints

International Payment Center

Scam and fraud
Complaint Rating:  97 % with 30 votes
Company information:
International Payment Center
580 South Research Place Central Islip, NY 11722, USA
New York, New York
United States

This company told me that a shipment is waiting for me consisting of electronic stuff, and a check for more than 2000$. I only had to pay the shipping costs and would receive the package in 4 to 8 weeks. I paid the shipping ($31) but never received the package. I went on the net and found TONS of complaints of people having been ripped off by this company. I wish I had known that before I paid. They need to be prosecuted as I am certain they rake in a lot of money with false promises of packages with valuable goods that will be sent by them - which of course never happens. I wrote several times to this outfit but never an answer (of course).

Why did you think you were going to receive such a package - and a $2000 check to boot?

You realize there is no rational explanation for such an expectation beyond you thinking someone made a mistake, and rushing to capitalize on their error.
You're greedy and stupid.
And I hope they fleece more greedy, stupid people.
Before I came to this site, I wondered how scam artists could possibly find enough dumb asses to make their activities financially viable.
The mystery is revealed.

i agree that people can be stupid, but what these sociopathic predators are doing is outrageous.
 249 days ago by   jayV 0 Votes
Exactly. This site is meant to warn against such predators - not to invite dumb comments about how stupid we all are (look at the amount of people on this site who have been ripped off ).
 248 days ago by   Zombiwoof 0 Votes
In what way exactly was my comment dumb?
Useless, perhaps - but not dumb.

I pointed out that you're greedy and stupid - which you clearly are.
The site itself is essentially useless beyond it's amusement factor.

Really - do you think any amount of warning would have protected you from your own greed and gullibility?

Hey I got magic beans for sale... do you want some? The effectiveness of this site is undermined by all the merit less complaints. People should think twice before posting their crap. Accepting a package and money that is not for you is illegal, even if it is a mistake. Some one should post a complaint about you JV.

what crap! this outfit sends you a check with your name on it, and pretty real looking shipping documents with your name, and then they say you've won this stuff if you pay for the shipping. no idea how they get hold of your ID. so nobody is accepting packages or money that's not for you. it's got your frikking name on it! so don't just sling your crap if you don't know what you're talking about. you can't defend this BS, unless of course you work for them. lol.

Er... It seems you don't fully understand the situation. In her complaint JV does not mention anything about the scam saying that she had won anything. That would obviously cast the situation in a different light. So YOU don't sling YOUR crap if you can't read/or make unjust assumptions. Ultimately JV failed to explain properly.
 245 days ago by   JayV 0 Votes
Snyder is right. The check and shipment papers were in my name. They were sent to me by email stating that this is what I won. As I said above, they said this shipment is waiting for me if I paid for the shipping I would get this stuff. I thought this was clear in my complaint because that's how these types operate. This is the first and only time I actually reacted to something like this. Yes, I agree this was stupid and I can assure you I will never fall for this again. But christ, these responses I got from people instantly climbing on god's throne and throwing judgements at you is just disgusting. Speaking of unjust assumptions. Twitter indeed...

JayV,

I think you are missing my point. So I will try and make it nice and easy for you.

IN YOUR ORIGINAL COMPLAINT YOU DID NOT MENTION THAT IT SAID YOU HAD WON A COMPETITION. IF YOU DID THEN MENTION THIS ONE LITTLE FACT, THEN IT WOULD HAVE CHANGED HOW THE SITUATION LOOKED.

I just got that mail ( mar 31, 2009), just 8 mins. from now.

It was NOT addressed to me and the check they show has NO name written on . It says you that one can choose either some electronics OR a check for 2 thousand 4 hundred some USD.

Invites you to send the ¨shipping charges¨so they can send your parcel.

Very rare to say the least, so first thing I did : go to the FAQs section and found it too nice to be true. Next : Terms and conditions, also very nice, with an incredible list of products I would get if I just sent them the shipping charges. Must remark that such terms & conditions page states very clearly that packages will be sent to all those sending their ¨payment¨BEFORE Jun 2008.

Next : Check it out with google simply because I had no legal way to be a ¨participant¨of such give-away program. Final result was reading this USEFUL page, where in less than 15 mins. ( total) I confirmed it was a scam.

Have just received a message via my email telling me I had a check for $US2741.00 waiting for me too- I just had to send $31.50 for shipping charges and of course via my credit card! The message came thru the Freelotto site telling me I had enrolled with them on 2009-02-19 which was untrue! Dam! that check would have come in so handy too! Oh- well- back to the real world! And remember "Caveat emptor". Google their address and you will find that the website that it can't be found. Cheers.
