*UPDATE: Rip-off Report INVESTIGATION UPDATE: US Postal Inspectors close down Bankcard Empire. Bankcard Empire Suspended From Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program Tempe, Arizona

Due to the rise in gas prices, my age, etc. I want to start working from home. I went on line and requested information by placed my name, email address and telephone number for Home Business opportunities. On July 9, 2008 I received a phone call from BankcardEmpire.

IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT USUALLY IS!! I failed to remember my Dad's advice and swallowed the sales pitch hook, line and sinker. For $300, I and my sister (she is 3 yrs. older than me and in the same situation) said the salesperson, would receive phone numbers from new local businesses every 2 weeks for 3 months. These numbers would be supplied to us from the parent company, BankcardEmpire. They received the numbers from the phone company who would supply them. THUS these phone numbers would give us the opportunity to have an income of $1,000 to $3000 weekly if we diligently worked them each week, just as if we were working a 40 hour job outside the home. $500 for each new terminal Bankcard Empire installed. PLUS we would also have an additional income, of possibly $3200, beginning the next month after installation from residuals by the companies who purchased the new terminals, as we would be reimbursed at 1/2 of the percentage they paid BankcardEmpire for usage.

Now I am told we MUST PURCHASE these names at $2.00 each, in my case $5,000....if I had $5,000 to invest I don't think I would put it into BankcardEmpire, as nothing I was told has been delivered.

I spoke with a representative, Chase Payne, and he said they WILL NOT reimburse or reverse the $300 invested and charged to my credit card. I am now placing a claim of "DISPUTE" against them with my credit card company and prayerfully I will have these $300 in charges reversed.
