On the first of January I recieved a phone call from Freedom Resource through Teleturf, Inc. (the telemarketing company they use)... I was given a detail description of their company offering... A Mastercard with a beginning credit of $2500.00... For a securing fee of $221.95 to be drawn from my checking account on the date I specified.
There was to be no annual fee, and I was given the customer service number, a tracking number, and a verification number by Eric, their representative... All seemed very professional and knowledgable... Answered all my questions efficiently...
I was told it would take up to 21 working days from the draw of the draft to recieve my MasterCard and my signature card. I waited...
Sure enough, on January 31... A draft to Teleturf, Inc. On behalf of Freedom Resources was drawn from my account for $221.95.
I recieved nothing my February 14th, and I called, I was asssured that my information package and Mastercard was being sent out in the next Friday's mail.
By March 1st... Nothing... I called again, and was assured it had been mailed, and should be recieving it any day.
On March 17... I called again... Explained that I was now concerned, as I had looked up their company on the Internet, and had read bad reviews, and how others were experiencing the same delays and problems... I was THEN told that my credit card is only for the amount I paid into it... And not for the amount I already paid to secure it... THAT didn't really matter, as I have yet to recieve anything... I asked for a refund... I was told that they would process my claim for a refund and I should recieve the paper within 7-10 days to request the refund...
Nothing... I feel that $221.95 is an absolute loss... This company has truly been deceptive and took my hard earned money without being honest. There has to be some sort of retribution for this... And a hard lesson learned...
