1. You have compiled a compelling story. From my experience, the cases which get resolved are the ones where the victim(s) go to the media. See most recent instance here:

   While this was a retailer-specific incident, it still has relevance because the investigatory process would be similar obviously. I would recommend to you a similar tact. In fact, one of the most prolific consumer protection experts and a nationally syndicated media host, Clark Howard, is based in Atlanta. I think he would be interested in your story and the facts you have unearthed.

   1. i contacted lots of agencies and lots of news organizations actually, had some mild interest from a small subset but no one ever picked it up to run with it. i’m 99% sure i did send the story to clark. being unable to get some others to pick up the story and make it bigger is one of the reasons i decided to make this site.

2. P.S. You should also file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Assuming Trump doesn’t do away with the agency, they have been effective in fighting on consumers’ behalf.

   1. i have several CFPB complaints towards incomm as well as some carriers of the product, these are sent to the corporate headquarters and coming from the CFPB, will indeed get you some kind of response from the company. however the response from incomm was basically not addressing any specific point i made and them saying there was no merit to the accusations. the CFPB itself lacks the teeth to do much unless there is a monumental amount of fraud and complaints received (think wells fargo) – else even if i can prove these broken things, they won’t do anything (oh one guy? few grand? meh.) the class action lawyers i had would have been able to subpoena data out, i believe, which would have been interesting because incomm’s entire fraud model is built towards creating false positives. unless someone who had their money taken specifically volunteers that the money was taken however, there is no proof that the victim actually assisted the fraud. a flawed assumption the entire model is built around is that any paypal account associated with VAF means all unauthorized transactions to it were also VAF, logically flawed in the case of a 3rd party liquidating the actual PPMC card.

   1. if you aren’t getting what you need from them, the most likely avenues to get you a real response will be complaints filed at both the better business bureau and the consumer financial protection bureau. let me know how things go!

4. September, 2019, Today I opened the package of my incomm onevanilla card that cost $206.95. There’s no money there. I called Incomm. The fraudulent payment went to Str8dope in Weston, Florida. Other people have lost money sent to the same place. Finding your site is an eye-opener. Keep up the good work.
