I received a pre-approved credit card from the CCA (Capital Credit Alliance). I was exited because this was my first credit card. It promised a 6,500 credit limit with no interest and cash on demand if you needed it. The card was only good for CCA Shopping Network catalog purchasing. I then thought what the hell is CCA shopping network? I went directly on the internet and typed in CCA Shopping Network and the site on the top of the list was this one. So I started to read about all the people this very same company with the same P.O. Box number address, and telephone numbere had ripped of. I had to call CCA to activate the card I had not up until I got on the net and read about those S.O. Bs. I then decided to give them a call and see exactly how they spoke to people and got them to give up their bank account numbers. I called and a lady picked up saying that the call would be monitored for quality assurance (yeah right I thought). She started off telling me how my credit limit had just been raised to 8,500. I read in one of the reports on the internet that they told one guy the same thing. She continues fast talking and then asks for my social security number. I told her I did not feel comfortable giving it out to someone over the phone, she started telling me about how every time I apply for a job how my social security number was still laying on somones desk for everyone to see. I then asked her did they have a web site now listen to this: she said "it costs too much to have a web site", I said no it doesen't so she said yeah it doesnt but and then she paused to think and blurted out "but then we would have to give out all these email addresses and then we would have to start charging you interest" At that moment I was thinking if only I could reach trugh the phone and slap the sh* out of that b*. I then said "well let me sleep on it and call back tommorrow", so she starts telling me about how I will lose the special offer if I call back tommorrow. That was the last straw so I hung up on her. Then I sat down to write this report. I might call again tommorrow to have some more fun with them. JefferyNew York, New York
