This is one of the scarier ones. This is an identity theft nightmare. Seems when you make a certain kind of payment to your capital one account, the payment is sent from Capital One Payment . Can you see the problem here?

They don’t even bother to tell people not to respond to these emails, so I have customers sending complete emails like this one.

I have been waiting some time by now,
Can you e mail me the whole statement, the payments I did and closing the account because I think I lost
more money than interest, so I need to know where did I lost, you or Dr. ______.
Thanks
