Asset Builders this company contacted me by hacking into a trusted friend's e-mail,claiming he was making 2-300$a day n/a, Internet

I received an e-mail from a trusted friend, saying he was making 2-300 dollars per day providing links to internet companies.  It assured me I would have no trouble mastering the technique.

I am mostly home-bound, and it sounded like a good opportunity for my circumstances.  I totally trust
this particular friend. 

I responded and charged 126.95 on my Visa card for the starting program.  I was told a counselor would then call.

I then received a call from Monetary Inc. at 801-878-0089.  All this occurred on June 4th.  When I
got the call from the counselor I informed him I knew it was a scam, as my friend had responded to my
e-mail thanking him for referring me, telling me he did NOT send the e-mail and not to reply to it.  I
called my credit card company (Chase Visa) and relayed the plot.  The charge had already shown; they
blocked it and cancelled my existing account. I told this to the "counselor".

The next call received was from Asset Builders ...a Mr. Strauss ,877-938-4055 X140.  When I called
about 9 a.m. the recording indicated it was not office hours.  I assume this number was to the West
Coast, as I noticed the original hacked e-mail had come in at 3:50 EDT.  140 was answered by Wiliam
Wilson.  I told him I was reporting the company as an internet scam.This call came in on June 8th, late afternoon.
