I have been scammed by a company called Fortune Learning Systems/IC/ Wholesale Match.com/Ivy Capital Inc for 15,000 dollars with the promise of a website or two, an online business, tax and business plan as well as suppliers and wholesalers to dropship my products and earnings of 6-10 grand after 6 months or they will stay and assist my business plan until I have paid back my initial investment of 6070 dollars.The Ivy Capital misrepresented their program’s earning potential, misrepresented the goods and services they would provide, and failed to fully disclose and honor their refund policy, in violation of the FTC Act. They allegedly misrepresented their services, failed to fully disclose their refund policy, called telephone numbers on the Do Not Call Registry, and did not pay the fee for accessing the Registry, in violation of the Telemarketing Sales Rule.I am filing a consumer complaint a with Attorney general in Nevada and Utah State Dep of Commerce Division of consumer protection.I filed on line a complaint to the USPS Ins and the BBB case# XXXXXWhat recourse do I have to get my money back. I was on forced retirement due to illness when I got into this November of 2010 and now feel that i could have been looking for a job instead of wasting 5 months with nothing to show for it but a poor website, no contacts to help me as the numbers have gone away.Feb 22nd the US Federal Commission filed a complaint. I pulled it off line and all the companies I was scammed by are in the document.Please help me and let me know how to proceed. Thank youWendy-Anne Thompson

Thank you for the post Wendy-Anne, I am happy to assist you by answering your questions. Your recourse in this situation is to file a civil suit alleging fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of contract. You should consider retaining counsel to file your complaint however, due to the complexity of the claims and the fact that the sum exceeds the small claims cap. Please let me know if you need additional guidance.

I would like to call master card and dispute these charges as fraud. What is your opinion on this
You can pursue that route as well, master card would investigate but if it finds that you executed an agreement to pay the amount that was charged to your card, it would not issue a charge back but would encourage you to pursue a claim for breach of contract.
