I was contacted by a telemarketer for the zero percent MasterCard on July 8. After agreeing to the one time only fee of $29.95 I was toget a packet.
I though it odd that a company would offer a zero percent-continuos Master Card, so I researched the company and found this webpage full of other scam victims.
I called the bank to put a stop payment on the tele-check. However, in few days the funds still went through. The bank has refunded my stop payment fee plus the $29.95 that was taken out by Capital First.
Here's what you can do if you have had a similar story:
File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Protection Division, toll free # 1-877-382-4357; Florida States Attorney's Office, 305-547-0100. You can also contact the Miami Herald Newspaper, consumer reporter. The Miami Herald is one newspaper of Knight-Ridder Publications that owns major newspapers across the USA.
