My name is Kenjiro "Ken" Watanabe. I paid Mr. Perinho (site owner of worldcardpro.com) $129.00 for an $100.00 card. I paid him on 12/14/09. He picked up the money on 12/16/09. Today is 12/27/09 and I still have not recived my card details. He, Marco Perinho, did however send me a holiday email, but he has yet to respond to any of my requests that he send the card details. It looks as though I have been scammed since I did pay via Western Union. I would recommend that no one use any virtual card services coming from
Marco Perinho or
Zenaida Perinho - you will lose your money. Just to be safe, do not use any virtual card service that originates out of Portugal as it would more than likely be this couple's business.
They seem to be the only ones operating out of Portugal. [If] I do get my 'working" card details, I will print a retraction, an apology, and a recommendation. Perhaps this is just a communications mix-up.
WARNING: Until then, assume that I am currently out $151.00
($100.00 card + $29.00 fee + $22.00 Western Union fee to send the money from the USA to Portugal). The person(s) who left a comment saying that only a few people lost their money only did Mr. Perinho a disservice. They claim to be a "friend" and they say only a few people have been scammed. And to top it off, they also claim Mr. Perinho lost money. Who the heck cares? That's like saying Mr. Madoff lost some of his own money in that multi-billion dollar ponzi scheme! What's particularly strange and misleading about worldcardpro.com is that they have a legitimate and current up-to-date secured site certificate (
https://). This is how they convinced me they were "safe'.
Pure genious on their part! Also, stay away from goeport.com. Fake info is riddled throughout their site - address in one state, phone number in another state, then emailed me that they are currently in another state...New York...WOW! I will await my already paid for two weeks ago virtual card from the Perinho's. I won't hold my breath. Hey Marco, prove me a liar by delivering what I paid $129.00 for.
I TRIPLE DARE YOU.
