24 Sep 08 Also scammed by GISOL for $1798.20

Hi, I sent this to Mike last night but figured I should share. I’ve been in contact with Frank and he’s been a big help in giving me direction on what to do now.

So here’s the story:

I signed up with GISOL on 02-07-03 with Best (Annually + 3 Months Free) ($95.40). This was for a hobby website. I had no issue with GISOL until sometime last year… [ ... ]

16 May 08 Gisol was trying to dispute charge - My Bank won!

18 Apr 08 I am sure IC3.gov have a file on this organisation already

I was asked to provide some more details from my experience, so here is an extract from correspondence with ic3.gov:

12 Mar 08 American Express doesn’t deal with Gisol any more

From posts on here and other sites it looks like American Express (AMEX) has refused to deal with Gisol any more. This must be to do with the amount of chargebacks they are getting. It can only be a matter of time before Visa International and Mastercard do the same. If they take away their rights to take credit card payments, it will effectively shut them down as they will… [ ... ]
