Recovery Scams.

If you buy into any of the above scams, you're likely to be called again by someone promising to get your money back. Be careful not to lose more money to this common practice. Even law enforcement officials can't guarantee they'll recover your money.

Hi David,

I am sorry for your experiences, but my company is not a scam, and we do provide a very legitimate and beneficial service. We have saved the American public hundreds of thousands of dollars with our fraud prevention and recovery programs... I would be happy to show you piles of testimonials, client progress reports and thank you letters. If your mother was billed by our company, she must have confirmed a need for our service and authorized the charge by means of verbal recording or signed documentation, it did not happen fraudulently. The reason why you may see a pattern of complaints is a direct result of the industry we are in, and yes, there are many so-called recovery scams... WE ARE THE REAL THING.....

Finally, I do exist.... I have not received any messages from any David's in the last 3 weeks, and I reply to all my voicemails... Please try me again at the numbers listed below, and leave me a detailed message if you need service or refund resolution... Pattern or not, all the complaints on this site have been addressed and resolved as you can see!!! That is the difference between a legitimate company and a scam!!!

Sincerely,
ARI TIETOLMAN

On 3/20/07, I left detailed phone messages with my name and two telephone numbers on both Ari Tietolman's direct and Banksafe's phone numbers. I spoke clearly and distinctly into the phone. I never received a response from Tietolman or the company, although they certainly had pleasant-enough- and professional-sounding outgoing messages on their phone lines.

Since my own complaint, there have been additional complaints filed against Banksafe.

This is one of many companies that convinces old people that they need a "service," tricks them into providing bank account information, and then charges them at will. The one semi-truthful thing in Tietolman's rebuttal is that his "company's" caller must have managed to persuade my elderly mom to give out financial information, although she remembers nothing and has received no service from them. Banksafe did write itself drafts from her account, duplicating check numbers that my mother had used.

They are the "REAL THING" all right. The real sleazy sort of folks that sell old people a most likely non-existant service they don't need and help themselves to their money. Please don't bother to pretend that you do anything else, Mr. Tietolman. The time and emotional distress that you folks caused my mother and me at a time in which my wife was sick are shameful. Even if your people conned my mom, you should not get away with lies such as you never received a message from me, and that you always respond to such messages.

It is one thing to claim on this site that you resolve complaints and refund money; it is another thing to actually do this.

Thank goodness for sites like this which at least expose "companies" like Banksafe for the lying con artists who prey on the weak that they are. Don't believe a word of these rebuttals.
