Warning! If you hate being taken for a goof! Do not, I repeat, do not answer your phone if you receive a toll-free call from this number—. I received 5 calls while at work, all missed calls to my cell phone!?!?! I called the number back and right away I was told that I was being offered 2000 dollars credit limit, no credit report needed, BUT, they needed my checking account information to verify I was a bank customer. Then he proceeds to tell me that all I'll need to do is pay a 200 dollar "deposit", not a "fee", but a deposit. So I told him I'd consider it, AFTER, I already gave my checking account info. I called back and accept, was given a confirmation number, no explanation really about the card, except that it had a 8.9% interest rate and that I could use "vouchers" to pay for the deposit I'd have to pay. The money would be taken out of my account on such and such a date. So I had this really weird gut feeling, and of course hindsight is 20/20. I get online and start researching and find this site... I GOT SCAMMED!
So I call this "customer service" number and find it's a recording of a "foreign" woman's voice asking me to call back. So I finally get through to the original number they were calling me at, initially the rep was pulling the same script, never asking who I was or what I needed. Oh, by the way after I accepted this "card", later in my workday I got 2 MORE calls from this company. Finally, Ha! I get on the phone with Mr. Grafton Blair, supervisor extraordinaire, NOT! Anyhow, he proceeds to tell me my suspicions are false, he talks over me and tells me to call customer service number, I told him it's a phony number, then I'm told to SHUT UP, by him... OH no. I'm livid by this point. I told him that his scam seems to have run rampant across the states. I told him I wanted this problem fixed, once again, talking over me... Tells me to call customer service, 4 times referring in the conversation to me as a "HE". I thinketh not! So I call my bank, and I told them what a pathetic thing I did. So, I'm closing my account, hoping this c*phole of a company tries to get the money, then we'll proceed to take it to court.
How disheartening, and I want to know how they got my information, and why would they call my cell phone, and why would they not explain their card logo... All that glitters isn't gold.
