Subject: Mat Freidman Scam
Hi Nick,
Just got off the phone with you. As per request, here are the details of the fraudulent charge Matt Friedman made to my credit card. I noticed a $200.00 charge on my MBNA Vista card from Natpartysvc through PayPal on June 26th. I didn't recognize the charge and saw it had a 516 and 914 telephone # on it. I called and got Matt on the phone who told me it was my annual renewal. He said since I have been with the company since it's start 4 years ago, I would get top listing on all the categories of the 18 websites. 3 hours later, my site and link did appear at the top of all the categories as well as my banner. I was very pleased until I got your fraud alert. I read the entire alert and followed your instructions. I called Officer Sulz and left my name, # and breif description of what had happened. the officer I spoke with said he would pass the info. on to officer Shulz when he gets back to the precinct. I also called my credit card company and told them of the fraud and they suspended the charge and are sending me an affidavit to sign so they can investigate and remove the charges.
My company is based in Shirley, NY which is on Long Island, not far from Matt Friedman. I appreciate your alert, otherwise I would not have known what was really going on. I also appreciate and thank you for your offer of the lifetime membership at no charge and placement at the top of your sites, although if you are making the same offer to everyone else who got scammed, there is no way for us all to be on top unless we are rotated which will give each person a top listing at various times. Eitherway, I APPRECIATE THE GESTURE AND ALERT. IF I CAN BE OF FURTHER ASSISTANCE, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME.
