Company: DISCOVER BANK (CA)

I am the victim of very obvious, and equally clearly reprehensible and corrupt, flagrant consumer fraud perpetrated by Discover Card ( Discover ). Basically, Discover has condoned and enabled blatant web based fraudsters to significantly overbill me for a XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, NV hotel stay ( dishonestly billed at {$72.00} above the actual hotel charges and fees totaling {$220.00} ). 

Much more egregiously, the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX  in Discovers so-called Billing Disputes or Claims and/or Resolutions Department ( depending on what different Discover customer service agents called it ) pretended to investigate this matter. Then, after I provided Discover with very clear and indisputable evidence that the Internet scammers ( who also go by differing names, including XXXX and XXXX  before morphing into XXXX perhaps to facilitate their various Internet scams ) did not pay one dime to my hotel, the XXXX XXXX  there still want me to pay this entirely bogus charge. 

It is quite possible that the web con artists bribed someone at Discover to receive such a wildly unconscionable result out of those underhanded phonies. Otherwise, the vile Discover XXXX  believe it is far easier for them to cheat an honest customer on a one-time fraudulent charge, and placate the obvious web scammers, with whom Discover will no doubt be doing plenty of further business in the future ( legitimately or not ). Those two alternatives ( which are not at all mutually exclusive ) are the only ones that make a bit of sense to any sane, rational and fair individuals.

I figure your offices handle such matters, but am not entirely certain. I am very eager to pursue any and all applicable criminal charges for this indubitably illicit activity, including collecting any penalty or other fee levied on such incredibly crooked operators. I would not know if the sum involved here ( {$290.00} ) qualifies for felony grand theft or is deemed to be a misdemeanor level amount. 

I will reiterate that I shall gladly forward to you ( or any other relevant offices ) my easily grasped and unquestionable evidence ( for anyone who is not a XXXX XXXX ) proving beyond any possibly conceivable doubt I am entirely correct in this matter. That proof includes two very detailed and unambiguous letters sent to Discover ( last XXXX and last month ), along with a copy of my XXXX XXXX billing statement from my stay there last XXXX. 

That latter document expressly shows I had to pay my entire {$220.00} hotel bill when I checked in there on XX/XX/2022 ( which was done entirely in cash, as also clearly noted here ), because the web frauds never forwarded a cent to that establishment. I am not attaching these documents now because I am not sure if they need to be submitted to your offices or elsewhere specifically.

My name is XXXX XXXX, and this a new complaint with updated information that has since been discovered after careful research and review. 

I have reviewed the documents presented in the last communication and have discovered that all statements provided from XXXX seem to be inconsistent with the postal rules prescribed by law. i have a few questions. 

why does none of the statements include this notice? the following notice : This is a solicitation for the order of goods or services, or both, and not a bill, invoice, or statement of account due. You are under no obligation to make any payments on account of this offer unless you accept this offer. ; or in lieu thereof, a notice to the same effect in words which the Postal Service may prescribe.

Are all statements provided in the form of, and reasonably could be interpreted or construed as, a bill, invoice, or statement of account due? 

What makes amex exempt from these standard postal rules? 

also, your agency has sent notices in the mail soliciting payment and so, what makes your agency exempt from these standard postal rules? 

What your agency and XXXX is responsible for is for sending non mailable matter and is a civil and criminal offence. 

your response is appreciated. 

thank you.
