Filling Bankrupcy several years ago has prevented me from obtaining a credit card due to bad credit. Wanting to start reestablishing credit and build a good credit report, I jumped at the chance to obtain a quaranteed $5000.00 limit credit card. And for only $4 dollars more, instead of $45. Dollars for regular shipment, I foolishly paid (by check) the $49. Dollars for overnight. Well two weeks later, I'm forced to admit to something I never thought would happen... I've been scammed!!!
The sad truth to all this is its those of us who are in no position financially to just 'shrug it off', are the very people these "ASSHOLES" target. Losing $49.00 dollars will not spell financial doom for me, but that $49.00 dollars could have put food on my table for a week, two weeks worth of gas to get to my job where worked hard to earn that "stolen" $49.00 dollars or paid half my electric bill this month.
My first reaction was deny it— "There's probably a good explanation, an honest mistake", then disbelief— "I can't believe I've just been taken advantage of", and finally... Really 'PISSED OFF'!!! I make it my mission to do everything I can to make sure these "AHOLES" don't have the chance to do this to anyone else.
