Africards Visa credit card scam

To Whom it may Concern

Hello

I am a Australian Businessman who has unfortunately been scammed by Africards Visa Company over several years
I first received my Visa Card and made a withdrawal of $60 from a ATM in Australia -about 3 years ago
I was asked to pay a $ 5,000 activation fee ,To enable me to make withdrawals of 2,500 every day from my bank
I did so ,being payments over a 1 year period
When it was time for them to honor the agreement ,so as i could access my funds ,They told me my card had expired ,which it had
They then asked me for more money in order to send me a new card , I did so
When the card arrived in Australia it was cut into pieces ,Africards Visa told me Australian Customs cut the card up.
What a joke ,
They then asked me for another fee to send me a new card again , I did so , When the card arrived -A letter was with the package stating the Abidjan Government had ceased my card -More bullshit lies
I was furious after sending them over $ 8500 over a three year period
I currently retain my first original card , And africards are asking me yet another fee of $ 1250 so as to load my money onto the first card
I notice a name John Bull Makita - I deal with a Tito Jakama and Bobby Kamila
I appreciate reading your website ,As i now can see how many other victims they are extracting money from by false pretense and Lies
I just cant understand as to why this Company is not stopped by the Authorities -They are outright criminals
Their pathetic Site is a copy a false site , A copy of Eco bank

I know my money is gone forever , I thought they were real and they were convincing
How can we have them arrested and how can we have their Company raided by the Authorities
Unless of course it is so corrupt and Government are involved
Thank You

Just to make it clear, you are not dealing with a company - you have been dealing with an individual sitting in an Internet cafe, pretending to be a bank and sending you an ATM card. He is using fake names and IDs, so it is impossible for the authorities to catch him.

There never was any money and they would have continued to charge you fees until they bled you dry.

As Bubbles said, please post all the details of the email addresses and websites they are using.

Stop communicating with them - do not tell them that you know they are scammers or that their details are posted here - they will just deny it and knowing the existence of sites like this will help them improve their scamming.

Dear Mr Jones

Hello

I have lived in West Africa for 9 months ,And fully aware of the Internet Cafes and scammers
Please tell me , How can a so called average lay person in Africa , Have the ability to obtain a Visa Card issued in my name from a bank /UBA bank , Load it with money , Have a Pin number issued to me , And program the Visa card to work in a Foreign Country Visa ATM Machine ?
Remember i was able to withdraw cash funds from my card in Australia

Please explain

Many banks offer pre-paid credit/debit cards, which can be used internationally. The scammer has probably applied for one in your name and topped it up with $60. Once you had withdrawn the $60, the card would be empty and of no further use until it was topped up again.
