I was contacted on March 21 by a company going by the name of Global Financial. For a one time fee, ($221.95) I could get a Master or visa credit card. Also offered better rates on long distant calling. What sent up the red flag for me was the caller was not able to tell me what bank was backing the credit cards, by the time I asked this question I had given them my account nunber. I called the customer service number to cancel and they told me I am not in the system yet and to call back in a few days.
By this time I am sure they would of taken the money. I called my bank to put a stop payment on this amount but was told if they change just one cent on the amount it would go through anyway. I had no choice but to close my account and open another. I was able to excape the the scam. People do not be afraid to ask question when you are called by these scam artists, like I said the one question I asked (what bank is backing these cards) is what saved me.
