Consumer Protection publication is a fraud!!! I know I am an ex employee trying to get the word out on this company. Consumer protection publications markets a $397.00 BOOK that contains a list of banks as if it was a CREDIT CARD!!!
Selling this book as if it is a done deal buy the book get the card with a low rate of 10% interest just select the bank you want to do business with. The opening pitch goes like this "HI this % with consumer protection publication I was calling concerning your visa and mc accounts.
Why is this a scam first of all the script is designed obviously to make you think that this is your current credit card company calling or that they have some sort of access to your current accounts (THEY DONT HAVE ANYTHING) no information about payment history nothing. Secondly in the state of Arizona under state law ANY MISREPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND IS A CLASS ONE FELLONY FRAUD.
Third reason why in the sales pitch the rep states that all the banks on the list offer a 10% fixed rate of lower. LIE!!! I have personally contacted several of these banks some do not even nor have they ever offered the rates quoted in this "finacial guide" additionally some of the banks offer the rate only if contected to a home equity line of credit.
This makes the entire thing fraud and mis representation. That is a class one felony fraud in the state of AZ punishable by a min sentence of 5 yrs in prison for each offense. If my statement seem wander its only because of how corupt this company is. Now in addition to everything I've said this company is defrauding the bank they have their merchant account with to take credit cards.
Recently they lost their merchant account because of too many disputes!!! Thats when you call your credit card company and question a charge on your acct.in order to get a new merchant account this company had to say that they were an internet based business.
Guess what now they are commiting bank fraud. If you have been burnt by this company do three things for me as well as yourself.
1st-Call your credit card company and tell them your were scammed. Do not let anyone at CPP try to convince you that your order is not subject to cancellation.
2nd-If you are a victim of this scam call the attorney general in your home state and file a complaint!!! -KY residents your states attorney general has already notified Cpp not to call or attempt to sell in their state again or face prosecution.
3rd-Call the attorney generals office of Arizona and file a complaint stating that you were defrauded
For those of you that have been burnt by this company here are some phone number to call if you can not get thru on cpps toll free number they are 1-888-205-8077 or 602-870-7554 (direct line to the 1908 we dunlap address.
Call and ask to spk to Bill Crosby (owner) Greg Gomez (director of operations) Larry Rodgers (verification) Sudan (he is the night manager)
