IGLESIA MARTELL LAW FIRM
We are writing in response to a number of complaints regarding alleged one cent attempted charges allegedly under the name Iglesia Martell. None of these attempted charges have ever been initiated or selected by my firm nor are they legitimate. Any use of Iglesia Martell in this context is illegal and is fraud.
Someone or some entity has used identity theft with just the name Iglesia Martell to create a scam where they are attempting to charge one cent or more transactions.
We would like to inform you that these charges did not originate from my firm. Our regular clients and their identities are protected and are not at risk. We also are writing to inform you that the scam under the use of Iglesia Martell as been parlayed over many States.
If you see any attempted charges under Iglesia Martell and you have no client relationship with our firm, please do the following immediately:
1. Report it to your credit card company and insist that no matter how small the amount that they do a complete and through investigation.
2. On our end we reported this to the Ann Arbor Police Department, Michigan Attorney General's Office, The Federal Trade Commission, and the FBI. These law enforcement entities have all informed us that until the consumer demands that the credit card companies investigate each one cent or more transaction to find out who is actually receiving and posting these attempted charges these scams will continue to occur.
Be aware and be insistent that the credit card companies do what they are supposed to.
