Got a call during a time of unemployment by this company. They explained themselves, made sense, I agreed and they said someone would be getting back in touch with me. That someone was a man by the name of Tom Wilson. He had an almost two hour conversation with my husband and me and promised us the moon and stars in the form of residual income for years to come. Well we ended up giving him $16,000 on our credit card and he had the gall to want more! We said no work with this and then we will talk more. Said he assign us a manager by the name of Brian Young to follow our account etc. Never ever heard from Brian Young because he left! How convienient. So Mr Wilson himself would oversee our account. Sometimes I would hear from him spewing all this how great everthing was going to be and blah, blah, blah. And then I would leave messages for weeks before I heard from him at all! All of a sudden out of the blue I get a call from him saying your year is up and good luck and hung up the phone. Said he folks at VC Merchant would continue to work my leads. Havent heard from them either and as of right now I can even access my dashboard. Oh how I would love to get my $16,000 back from this scammer. He needs to be stopped cause I don't know how he sleeps at night.

I was contacted by a man names Tom Wilson from VC Merchant Funding telling me that this was a deal of a lifetime and I could pass on this opportunity to work for myself and be able to better support my family. I wasn’t too sure at first but he spent an awfully long time on the phone with me describing the whole process and that I wouldn’t really need to do anything except sit back and let the money come to me.
He finally won me over and I invested $22,997 with him and his company to get me started. I was supposed to get a percentage every time a company used the machine. I have not received anything!! I was promised that in no time I would make back the money I had invested but it seems as if they just took my money and ran.
I have tried to contact this Tom Wilson, if that’s even his real name, numerous times and I can never get ahold of him. When I do get someone on the phone they try to sell me on something else. Why would I pay you more money if you haven’t even done what I paid you for the first time??? VC Merchant Funding is nothing but a scam. A pit of deceit and lies!!
Since I wasn’t able to reach them either by phone or email, I did the only thing left to do, I have contacted a firm to help me get my money back. They were great!! I did not have to pay any upfront fees, which I learned to NEVER do again. Nadine (301-710-0675) was the best. She got everything in order for me and the whole process was painless. This is the one time when someone told me to sit back and let the money come to me…and it was true ?I didn’t have to do anything!! They took care of it all!
I did not want to have to go through that whole mess again of not being able to reach people when I had a question. Nadine was always there to help me. Even if I didn’t get a hold of her on the first shot, she always returned my phone calls or emails. That is how a business is supposed to be.
