Bank Card Empire Marketing scam

I was contacted by Bank Card Empire in 2009 to become an independent agent for their credit card services. As their local agent I was to receive a 15% commission off of every transaction made on the credit services contract that was signed between Bank Card Empire and the local business. Later on I was contacted by Edgemont Productions to have personalized ads placed on the internet and what they called "phone and email blasts". I fell for this scam hook, line, and sinker. Now I'm deeply in debt and can't seem to recover.

Bank Card Empire All work no pay

I've been with them more than 6 months i signed up for $2000 they promised me i would be paid in a week of signing a merchant. Until now it's been 9 months i signed up 1500 merchants and i have not seen a penny from them! When i contact them they do not respond eitheir with email or on the phone. They asked me to put all my bills on hold i don't think its being fair taking advantage of people like me.

The people i signed up also want to know what the heck is going on with this company! I appreciate somebody catches up to this company! If they don't have any intention to pay us for the work we do refund us our money!

you will be elated to know that the offices in Phoenix were raided for BANK CARD EMPIRE. (I worked a different campaign called TV Travel) Hundreds of employees had bounced paychecks and never received our last weeks pay. (prior to the FBI raid of course) Seemed like a nice enough company but turns out it was a bunch of SLICK SCAMMERS. I really apologize to anyone that paid into this business...we employess were just as BSed as you the consumer were.

Bank Card Empire Rip Off program

I signed up 11/08, $250.00, $19.99 month. I worked for six months, travelng, trying to open doors an purchased $500 in online marketing direct mailings. Nothing, zero responses, I even went to Phoenix and met with marketing arm of Bank Card Empire. After no results I asked for the agreed to $200 and canellaton of the $19.99 per month. I was then informed I had to wait until August to cancel. I noted all this in my business docmentaon.
I just called to cancel and was told I had to wait a year, until 11/09. I was then told that if I didn't "refer" any costomers to them, I did not qualify for refund. In other words, I had to succeed to fail!

This is a company who refers to 100% customer satisfaction. They may be good to their credit card retailers, but they are unethica and unprofesional in their dealings with me.

With lots of recent research on their reputation through blogs, Rip Off and the Better Business Bureau I want to warn you to the rip off this company represents

Bank Card Empire Close Call...BADGERING

These people just contacted me this evening and I was milliseconds away from giving my information out. But I didn't feel right being high-pressured into making a decision right then. He did the whole song and dance about how I know you want to make extra money...I'll pay 1/3 of the price of your licensing. If you don't act now...blah, blah, blah. I told him I wanted to do more research and he told me to go to their website. Seemed legitimate, so I told him I would put him on hold while I spoke with my husband. THANK GOD my husband smelled the rat. He said you shouldn't have to pay to work for someone! So True! Well. I got back on the phone and told him I'd have to say no. He asked how come? I told him that was between my husband and I. Later I started doing all this research and found all these complaints. If it hisses like a snake... Don't let these smoothies get you!

Bank Card Empire Threatening Legal Action Phonecall

On January 27 2009 I had initially received a call from Bank Card Empire detailing how their business would pay me $500 for every merchant that changed over to Bank Card Empire [BCE] using my BCE affiliate number. They started off with a sales pitch for their business kit of $1500 but for that day only they would lower it to $395 on my credit card. The program sounded plausible so I agreed to the $395 price. At this point they transferred me to a different person who wanted to RECORD THE CONVERSATION STATING YOU APPROVED THE CHARGES AND PROVIDED ALL THE NECESSARY INFORMATION INCLUDING YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER...This would later be used in their threatening legal action phone call... After this conversation I did the due diligence of researching their company and received nothing but UNFAVORABLE reviews and complaints. So I immediately called BCE back to cancel the charge and they stated that the order had not been processed into their database yet, so I told them again to cancel the order and not to process it or charge my card. Guess what, the next day they called me back stating that the charge did not go through due to overlimit and if I had another card to put the charge on. I told them I had cancelled that order and not to charge the card but they went ahead and charged it anyway. I watched my credit card statement online weekly to verify no charges were being made by BCE. No charges were recorded on my statement but today March 4, 2009 I received a call from someone who wouldn't give his full name or contact/callback information saying he was from VISA legal department and was in the process of contesting the $395 charge by BCE since they had a VOICE RECORDING authorizing the transaction. I stated the actions of 1.27.09 and 1.28.09 to him and his opinion was to go ahead and try the program instead of the legal actions and he even OFFERED TO LOWER THE PRICE TO $295...when does VISA legal offer to lower a merchants price?!?...At this point I figured it was BCE trying to get me to consent to another charge attempt, so I told the guy to go ahead and send me a letter stating their intentions to litigate and I wanted his personal contact information for my records to show our conversation if this does proceed to court. He gave no information and hung up. This complaint/information is long because this just occurred about 15 minutes ago and I wanted to warn others of this threat of legal actions due to the voice recording authorizing the charge earlier. DO NOT AGREE TO THERE VOICE RECORDING OF YOUR CONVERSATION.DO NOT GIVE YOUR CREDIT NUMBER IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE OF BCE. IF YOU DO DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE GET THE CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT BEFORE COMMITTING TO ANYTHING. Read up on your rights.

Take up your shield and sword. Protect yourself and fight back against ALL unethical businesses!

Bank Card Empire Scam and cheating

I received a phone call from Bank Card Empire shortly after Thanksgiving. They stated that i could make money working from home by helping new merchants on-line to Master-Visa Cards accounts. They told me they were sub-contracted out by Master and Visa Card to supply merchant accounts to vendors.

They stated that their sales people do all the work, and supply all the customers to me. I asked why they would need me. They told me that even Master and Visa cannot do it by themselves.

I would be given a free web site. I asked why I would need a Web site. They stated that it was just to let the vendors know a little about me, and all I would have to do is help them set up their merchant accounts. They requested $271.00 for the training they would give me. I told them I could not afford that money. They said that they could lower it to $121.00.

Stupid me agreed and gave them my electric bills' money. Per them all of this income would happen fast. My son was concerned. Boy was he right. They wanted a W9 form filled out and sent to them. I called and spoke to customer service and told them I wanted this in my son's name. I was on disability. I faxed the W-9 on Dec.11, 2008 @ [protected] our acct# WF2718.

Few days later a Salesman named Johnny James called me. I asked if he was my tutor, and he said that I would get dvds in the mail. He stated that I would be marketing and how much money could I put up. I was floored by this news. I told him I had no money, and that I put up my electric bill money. He said some people only put up 5 to 10 thousand dollars. Or at least a thousand. When i told him what I was told about my end of this home working project he said they were wrong to say that. He said 'With Sales comes marketing'. I will try to get your $121.00 and $19.95 back for you.

To date I have heard nothing. I have called and cannot reach them. All I want is my electric money back.

I got screwed by Recession Proof USA, DW Scott and this company also. I was desperate and it sounded like a good idea.
I have found a company that has recovered over $1mm from [censor]s like this.

If you do file a complaint don't bother putting it on /link removed/ That guy Ed is working with them, and some postings have information missing, even though he says he doesn't delete posting. His credibility is shot, even a legal representative of Bankcard Empire said he was busted for possession of pot, and ripping off his business partner. They are all a bunch of low-lifes.

I just got a call from Theresa @ Bank Card Empire. She promised me all these things and I just had to send her $495.00 plus $19.95. I felt this was a scam so I looked them up on this website. I had her on the phone and told her I was looking up her company. She thought I was looking up there website but instead my insctints told me to got to this website to see if there were any complaints about this company. Not to my surprise, there were numerous. I got back on the phone with her and told her of the complaints that are online about her company and she got angry and hung up. Thank you for this website. I was about to agree to give her $155.00 on August 10, 2009. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I agree completely. Bankcard Empire is a total scam. I have been assured several times that they would stop drafting my account as I have requested and 4 months later, they are still drafting. I have been patient, but this is ridiculous! I wished I had gotten more info on this company before I ever got involved.

If I ever get to Phoenix, I am going through their front doors with cops and the DA in tow!
