D****,
I just wanted to inform you that a number of victimized poker players have been receiving collections letters from Global Payments after they reported the fraud to their banks.
Global Payments is claiming that these players authorized these echecks (false), and are demanding police reports and notarized statements in order for Global to wipe off the debt.
This is unfair to place such a burden upon victims of a well known scheme. One of the victims is named Kyna England. Another is *** *****. They have shown me the letters the have received.
While I realize you cannot provide me details regarding other players, I am urging Global Payments to stop sending these collections letters and write this fraud off as you told me was the plan. It is not fair to require these players to file police reports or get notarized letters in order to be reimbursed for fraud which largely occurred due to negligence on the part of BetMGM, Viejas, and Global Payments.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
