BCA RECOVERY/ Michael Cooper Claims to recover your scammed money @ 50% fee and then scams you when the merchant bank disputes their request/ I lost $8000.00 recently. Miami, Florida

I was scammed out of $16,000.00 (VisaCard) by an internet education company in Idaho.  Michael Cooper from "BCA RECOVERY" told me that his company could almost guarantee a rebate of the full amount to my credit card with the fee being 50% or $8,000.00.

Two weeks later he called me to tell me that the fraudulent internet company had returned the funds to my visa account.  When I received my visa statement the full amount of $!6,000.00 had been credited to my account. so I wrote a check to bca recovery for 50%:  $8000.00.

The case was disputed by the company's merchant bank after 2 months and the credit of $16,000.00 was then re-billed to my visa card account.  I fought the dispute but did not succeed in recovering the money;  I then asked Michael at BCA to refund the 50% fee of $8,000.00.

He told me not to worry,  I would get a refuind since the outcome was unsuccessful. Just be patient since he was trying another approach with visa;  that was unsuccessful as well and I again requested that BCA return the $8,000.00 fee that I had sent them when Michael first informed me of the $16,000.00 visa rebate 2-3 months earlier.

I was unable to contact him at either his business or home phone and sent a series of e-mails to him with a response that at first some assurance that my money would be returned and then no response for 6 months. 

I then realized that I had been scammed again for mailing an $8,000.00 check to his company not knowing that the dispute would be reversed.  I have tried to get my money back with no success and I am sure that this was a very clever scam. I lost $8000.00 in an attempt to recover $16,000.00 so I was scammed out by 2 companies for a total of $24,000.00.
