After reviewing thousands of pages of documentation, investigators concluded that Merchants Barter Exchange never did business of any sort with Mark Johnson or Roberto Diaz. These two have been posting items on the internet as Victims of Barter Fraud.
"We believe there is a direct link between these two names, which appear to be aliases and NABA." -Tonya Lewis, PI International
NABA recently posted a release where they offered a 60 page anti-fraud prevention guide for the low, low price of $9.95. "This is reminiscent of those mail scams of the 90's where you could send away for guides to millions for a low fee. They prey on those with lower IQ's, that don't bother to check sources." Says John Howard, an inquirer into the guide. Companies can make hundreds of thousands of dollars $9.95 at a time. There is a very high percentage of people who respond to these types of ads and then later suffer fraudulent charges on their credit cards or even identity theft. NABA doesn't even have a website but they expect you to give them your credit card to charge for the guide.
Both The National Association of Trade Exchanges (NATE) and The International Reciprocal Trade Association (IRTA) have stated that NABA is not believed to be a credible entity in the barter industry. Krista Vardabash, Executive Director of IRTA has sent out a letter to members, which explained that NABA's internet presence appeared to be solely to promote and then attack Merchants Barter Exchange.
It appears that Victims of Barter Fraud is a new tactic being used by Bruce Gorcyca. Gorcyca is a man with a very shady past. He has done time in prison for accepting bribes as an IRS agent. His own attorney sued him in Ohio court for non-payment. You can outstanding child support claims against him. He also has a pending extradition order to the US for SEC fraud charges. He hopes that people will read about the barter fraud claims and contact him at NABA to order the guide. BEWARE. This is not a man who should have your banking information. |
