On 3 Jul my wife recieved and unsolicated phone call from Benifical Client Care. The company offer my wife an unsecured Visa or Mastercard with a credit limit over $5000 "guaranteed". She was told she had already qualified for it. They then asked for "basic information" to activate and send the credit card. The following information was requested from the company: Address, Phone Number, Checking and Savings Account information.
At this time my wife answered all of the questions. She realized she had just given all of this information with out knowing information such as company address, fees of card, web adreress, interest rates, and what bank was going to back this card. The operator would not answer any of these questions. The operator said the answers would be sent in the mail.
My wife told the operator that she was not interested in this card without information and did not want to be included. The operator said that would be fine. The information would be sent and if after that time my wife wished to sign up she could. My wife was given 1-866-999-0330 to call and a tracking number of 3542986, my wife was told if she would like to start this after reviewing the information just call.
As of this time no information has been sent to our home from this company. But as of today they have tried to withdrawal money from our joint savings account twice! $247!!! Once on 12 Aug and once on 23 Aug.
My wife tried calling the 1-866 number 12,13 15,19, 21 Aug. Each day she made multiple calls. Every time it was a voice mail service. Some of the calls she was able to leave a message, some of the calls the voice mail box was full. She left her name and number and asked to be called back about and unauthorized withdrawal attempts. The company has still not returned any calls, money, and they continue to try to pull money out of the account.
I have attempted to call the 1-866 number multiple times myself and have not had possitive contact yet.
Monday morning I will be going to my bank to file a fraud violation affidivid report. Hopefully I can prevent this company from trying to STEAL our money. I do not know how or who to report this company to so that this SCAM will stop, but I will be talking to a lawyer on Monday also.
Be Careful. Don't let this happen to you.
