Do NOT do business with this fellow by any means because he is simply just after your cash. He asks you to send a picture of your current Amex card and will then send a proof a few hours later. You have to UPS or FedEx him next day air to Atlanta your actual Amex card and $450 cash ($650 for business amex black). He obviously asks for no signature from the carrier to cover his tracks. He will then remove parts of your existing card and import into the replica card (which is BS). He then sends the new black card back to you. You'll have to call Amex for a replacement of your real card.

I caught onto the scam from doing my homework and questioning him, moreover he never got me the proofs in time so I had cancelled the wire just in the nick of time. He tries to come cross sincere by using "sir" and sounding all edducated but do not trust this guy. He probably lives out of state (MA I perceive) and has somebody pick up the letters from this actual house east of Atlanta. He is probably in his 40s or early 50s and is African American and talks fast (but not fast enough for me).

Hope this helps anyone out there.

John

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVIE

AUTHOR: Jomac - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, May 01, 2015

All I know is I wanted a Black Card, I was willing to take a chance and I texted Mike, he responded right away, he wanted payment via quick pay, I sent payment via quick pay connected through my Chase account. The next day, I mailed my Amex card and as soon as he received it, he sent me a video of my card! and mailed my card within 3 days! He is awesome! Don't believe the negative comments here, Mike is right, those people are just trying to ruin his business. Anyway, used my card in Vegas and it worked just fine! Have fun!

I ordered my card and received it very quickly, and received a video of my card being made so I knew it was legit. I highly recommend Mike Black and I have posted a video to YouTube titled "Awesome Black Amex I received from Mike Black" .. 

The qualiity of the product and customer service only suggests that any negative review is from a direct competior or an individual with an alternative agenda. You will love your product, and if you have any questions you can reach my directly at (((REDAcTED))). Best, Edwardo

My experience was exceptional

AUTHOR: JAY - ()

POSTED: Friday, March 28, 2014

After reading the negative post agianst Mr Black something didnt make sense. So I contacted him directly from the number above. He was very straight forward and to the point and helpful. I wanted a card the same week and sent him the monies and he did exactly what he mentioned he would in getting my card finished and sent to me in 3 yes THREE days from the time of our communication.

He was very consistant in communication with details on the transaction. When I got the card in the mail via fedex, I was completely BLOWN away at the quality of the card!.. It is indeed a metal card like the original centurion black card and looked totally authentic and great quality! I would definatley use him again for another business card for my company.

 

Thanks Mike!!!!!

Was Fair

AUTHOR: BDCOLLECTIONS - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, March 25, 2014

I used this service and was sceptical like others, but I received my card within two days.  I did not activate it before sending it because I did not want it used and I when mine was returned, it was not activated still.  Anyway, the card worked great and the service was good.  I actually misplaced my card and called him up, he offered to do another one for me.  I was surprised, but he actually followed through.  I read the other postings, but my experience was completely different and I have no complaints.

Set The Record Straight

AUTHOR: 916alex - ()

POSTED: Friday, January 10, 2014

I was searching online and came across his ad for the replica card. like anyone else, I was suspicious and had my reserves so I did some digging on Mike Black and came across this report. I spoke to him numerous times on the phone and he easily explained what this particular guy complained about.  Mike was genuine and I had enough trust to go through with it. Within a span of 2 days, I have the card and he is easy to do business with. Don't let this other guy posting that he is a criminal make you think again. If anyone wants to call me and ask about my experience, just repost and let me know and I will happily give you my number to contact me!

POSTED: Wednesday, January 08, 2014

I don't see why this guy keeps writing negative things about me and my company you would think that he would have better things to do but I can backup all allegations of fraud theft Non deliveries or anything he can come up with because I have pictures Federal Express receipts from all of my customers and

Why is my race such a big deal yes I am a biracial 40 year old man I am mixed with black and white that would explain why my hands and my skin is so light in the pictures but if you don't believe it yourself do business with me I will send you a picture of me holding your card in my white hand with your name and card number on your picture this is ridiculous that a person should have to go through this to protect his business from one a*****e! 

By the way went through my phone and found a picture of John's card and his name is John Fiordaliso and my pictures are time stamped with dates!

POSTED: Wednesday, January 08, 2014

once again someone else is trying to destroy my business but guess what I have proof this guy was a Fake this guy was from Miami his name was Dieson he did send me $500 dollars and I was about to send his card out to him but when I stopped at the bank to put the money order in the bank it was a old out of date money order so when I got in the car I called him on it and he said don't call him anymore and he was homeland security and sent me a picture of a card with a name and number that said he was homeland security so I called theSecret Service In Miami and spoke with a agent And told him what was going on and he said it wasnothing he could do about it but investigate the fact that Dyson said he was a homeland security agent So I kept the money order didn't send him anything and here's a picture of the money order if you don't believe me you'll see its back dated in small letters and numbers and I have the receipt I called Western Union they said it was purchased by Dyson almost six to eight months ago and he cancelled so he tried to scam me so you be the judge of the picture.... and by the way there's nothing that I sell for $500 the cards are $450.00 & $650.00 so why would you send me a money order for 500 when I always pay for return shipment from FedEx?

AUTHOR: Tameeka - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, January 08, 2014

Hi Ya'll,

 

I normally dont way in on these internet fueds but i had to write in after get an email about this from an alert on mike black. i work in a law firm in kentucky an dall the lasyers have the black card so i wnated one. I found mike black on craigs with that 404number in atlanata and he texted me making it all sound pretty, I sent the $500 in cash to that atlanta drop spot and afte rthat i never saw my black card. When i try to call mike black he ignore me and I never got my money back or my card. hes a definite thief so do not trust him. I agree with that guy jon. Im an african american women and this cart mike black is def black and those pictures he put up are not his cuz that from a white dude, besides i saw those pics on some other site (not mike black).

Whatever you do do not do biz with this fool mike black. I even filed a complaint with the fbi in atlanta. He a crook!

Peace out ya'll,

Original poster has an agenda

AUTHOR: Karen Calci - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, January 08, 2014

Not sure what your problem is.  Of course Mike Black commented. There was a new post that you railed against and he responded as the vendor, which is his right.  By suggesting my post is really him pretending, well now you are insulting me and questioning my integrity.  I almost didn't order due to your post but rolled the dice and was thrilled with the delivered product.

You sound like a racist, hateful jerk with a lot of time in their hands.  I can only imagine what someone like you would do if they had a black card to use.  Scary.  Do all the potential consumers a service and go away.  You contradict yourself and write mean spirited reviews.  If any consumer has a question about Mike Black's ability to deliver, ask to have me call you and I will gladly.

I am not a cousin or neighbor or friend.  I am a consumer that can't stand jerks like " John " that are simply mean spirited and out to ruin a business.  If you want a testimonial, I will tell you exactly what to expect.  Selfishly, the fewer that have these cards, the more prestigious and rare they are, but I'm happy to ensure a few more consumers get the truth and the card.

It's interesting that you said you were treated like "royalty" by a bar tender when you used your card. You can type in 560429 at this site and scroll down to the consumer comment that was posted on January 29, 2010 at Ripoff Report #560429 and read the following that starts paragraph #3:

Quote: "They have a 'Black American Express Card' (I believe they have 2) and my sister told me that they are treated like "royalty" when they check into hotels all over the world." - January 29, 2010.

The plot thickens

POSTED: Wednesday, January 08, 2014

In criminal investigations there is no such thing as coincidences. My time writing here is to help another victim out there so he/she doesn't get victimized by "Mike Black".

Why do I state coincidences? What are the odds that some random woman writes a rebuttal to my review that was posted 6 monts ago, and all of a sudden the owner ("Mike Black") follows up with his own rebuttal? You can't make this stuff up.

Listen Mike, let it go, come clean and knock off the crimnal enterprise because it's not okay. Go find some legitimate job and actually work for a living.

There will be no need for back and forth rebuttals because my comments here on 1/8/14 will resonate with any normal human who can smell BS.

Thanks for reading.

I suppose business must be real slow for Mike Black in Atlanta (404-384-5244-number he used on me from Georgia) to draw up some bogus rebuttal using a womans name, hence "Karen". This review is faker than a rolex on canal street. Oh dear oh dear, what lengths a criminal will go to keep their fraud going!

Actually, it is a legit service

AUTHOR: Karen Calci - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, January 08, 2014

I read the very negative report and must admit I almost didn't order after reading it.  I did get a photo " proof " of the card and thought, if this guy can produce a card to show me, why would he be ripping people off?  Producing the card is the hard part.  After really doubting if I would ever see my card, I decided to order and expected I had a 50-50 shot of actually getting anything back.  Since it is all based on a green dot payment or cash, it would be impossible for me to get my $ back.

I went back and read the negative review on Ripoff report again and noticed that the person complaining never actually ordered the card and was never actually ripped off.  That gave me hope that maybe I'd actually get something back.  The negative reviewer also made a lot of crazy assumptions, like guessing the guy was in MA but probably working out of some forwarding operation in GA.  Also, he goes on to guess about the guys age and race.  Frankly, he sounds like a racist when he makes those comments.

Mike, the vendor answered the Ripp off Report by saying out of all his clients, there is only one negative report out there.  Only one. And, wihen I understood that the guy writing the negative review nevver actually ordered or lost $, then I started think I might actually get the working product.

So I ordered and was thrilled when the Fedex package arrived as promised.  Mike even ate the return Fedex shipping out of the price.  It worked and is awesome.  It is 99% exact and only by holding the replica next to a real one could you see tiny differences.  Bottom line, it works and works well.  I have had fun with it for an occasional use to impress a friend or have a bar tender treat me like royalty once I pay for a first drink with it.  It's awesom and unlike the jerk that wrote the first review, I also looked all over the web and there are surely a lot of scammers that will never deliver a product like this.  It's even metal!  Tap a glass with it and a regular cc and you will hear and feel the difference.  

Bottom line, the guy is the real deal and will deliver.

The real Mike Black

AUTHOR: Mike Black - ()

POSTED: Monday, January 06, 2014

First off let me start off by saying that this guy wanted me to sale him a card he got the card and he loved it.

2 weeks later I got a call from him asking for a refund, I ask why did he want a refund? He told me he was at a strip club he used the card as a black card and he had fun with the card, so I asked again what was the problem he said when the bill from amex came his wife fliped out and asked him for his amex card when he gave it to her she found out it was turned into a black card she lost it and started to go nuts asking who was he trying to impress or was he Cheating on her and going to strip clubs and how could he spend their money $450.00 on a fake black card and how she wants the money back!

Now if he had of got the card and he did not want it why could he keep the card for two weeks and not tell me this when he opened it?

Then he told me that if I did not give him his money back that he was going to go on line and try to destroy my business, I told him go ahead I don't care I'm not giving a refund for that reason! if it was becaues of that no I will not be doing any refunds, then after that he called me names like n*****, f****t and all kinds of bad names.

Now yes I am Bi-race but what does that have to do with money or business?

My cards are the best in this business and if you are not 100%satisfied I will refund your money back BUT DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ ON-LINE...OH YEAH BY THE WAY I'M A FRENCH MODEL...LOL

fill free to call me 213 (((REDACTED))) thank you for your time!

Good report but...

AUTHOR: MochaG - ()

POSTED: Friday, August 23, 2013

Even though the report sounds legit in the sense that it is an illegal activity of whatever the person is doing, I still do not see WHY would someone want to hire him in the first place? In other words, if you INTEND to commit illegal act in the first place, there is NO legal claim for you in laws. Read the unclean hand doctrine...
