August 14, I was called to the phone. The woman on the other end, asked me if I was interested in a MasterCard with a $2500. Limit. She asked a lot of questions, and told me that the card had an annual fee of $29.95. That sounded reasonable, and she asked the numbers of my checking account, which I gave her, then she said I needed to hold the line, for verification process. When her 'supervisor' came on the line, he mentioned another charge of $99.50, at which time, I said 'NO' and hung up the phone.
The following day, this 'supervisor' called and left a message on my answering machine, that since I had not gone through the verification process, that they were going to take $99.50 out of my account, and if those funds were not there, then they were going to charge me an additional $150. I immediately called my bank, and put a stop payment on both of those amounts. However, my banker had a better suggestion for me, which I took. I circumvented Capitol First from removing any funds from my account.
I also went on line, and could not find any Capitol First, Capitol 1st, nor anything like that listed as a bank. The sales persons name she said was Kate Blackwell, and she gave me the phone number 1-866-892-6018. And her personal #879458. However, when I called that number, the people there, would not tell me if they were "CapitolFirst" nor anything else. They said that I was not in their data-base, and therefore was not one of their customers. That could all have been a lie. Anyway, I didn't have a good feeling about it. I know people all over the country, and I have sent e-mails to all of them, and asked them to pass the word about this so called mastercard.
One of my friends in another state, found the consumer complaints and gave me the info, to file this complaint. I hope you nail the jerks. They can't get me, but for all of them that have been gotten!
