Illegal Visa Cash Advance under duress

My wife, 69, was visiting a friend and went shopping alone in Norcross.

She became a victim of the Pigeon Drop (Lost Money) Scam.

After the perps had been with my wife for a couple of hours,

she became confused and disoriented and was coerced into

removing $6000 in a cash advance on our Visa card and,

of course, they got away with the money. A Police report was filed.

Since it was not a fraudulent transaction on a stolen card,

Visa is attempting to make me pay the entire $6000 back to them.

Is there any way around this??

Thanks for your reply,

Marvin

Re: Illegal Visa Cash Advance under duress

Your wife took the cash advance. Whatever happened after that, when she gave the money to the scammers, certainly did not involve Visa, their network, their card, or anything related to them. Visa is not responsible for following cardholders to see where the cash ultimately ends up.
