Dead people. Fake people. Cartoon characters.
Now, it looks like Obama supporters are going after unsuspecting credit card fraud victims, too. Better check your Visa and Amex bills twice:
A North Kansas City couple has been left scratching their heads after they became the victims of a political scam.
Steve and Rachel Larman say a strange credit card charge appeared on their statement this month a $2300 donation to Barack Obamas presidential campaign. The Larmans say they dont want this to be about their political affiliation, but they say theyre not about to give the Obama campaign any help from their pocketbook.
They said they notified Chase, their credit card bank, to report the fraud.
(They) said that they had seen-they were familiar with this, said Steve Larman. It was fraud, they believe through telemarketing but they were going to be doing some more investigations.
The Larmans dont want their politics to enter into what is essentially just a fraudulent charge. But they say that the charge involves the Obama campaign adds insult to injury for the registered Republicans.
They (Chase) kept on asking me are you sure you wouldnt have gone to a site in support of Obama, said Rachel Larman. And I repeatedly said Im voting for McCain - I would not be going to an Obama site.
Chase dropped the charge from the Larmans card. The couple is thankful thay they caught the charge on the card, but worried that others may not see that type of fraud on their own credit cards before its too late.
IMO Your state’s AG should be able to handle it. COntact them and the FBI. Let both know you have contacted the other are willing to press charges and ask for immediate action
“Im turning red from embarrassment when I even THINK of the expletives that would spew forth from my mouth if this situation happened to me...”
Might sound similar to the expletives from my mouth when Planned Parenthood called me this week about the Calif. ballot issue about parental notification.
Or an inside job, with bank or credit card, employee..
Thanks for the ping. Guess ACORN is branching out...
bttt
I didn’t think about calling the FBI. They spent aprox. $1200 on various items and gave $50 to Obama. Bank of America dropped all the charges and said they will investigate.
Obama has spent his entire career surrounded by con men, slumlords, radicals, marxists, and domestic terrorists.
Now his campaign has actively sought out felons to work for him, and to vote illegally for him.
This is the change we can believe in?
