It seems that rip-offs and scams are doing quite well otherwise we wouldn't receive daily mailings both postal and E type... These poorly brought up and sociopathic individuals seem to flourish in both good times and bad... But, it isn't their fault that these illegal and semi-legal attempts at grabbing your money are forever popping up all over the nation and the world... It is clearly our fault! You and me! In our desire to get rich quick or simply find something or someway to make a living we tend to want to believe that these offerings are real, honest, and legal.
Some of these scammers even try to use legitimate names, logos and even copyrighted materials to impress us, the suckers... Many will use names that sound familiar and so, our own self deception will compute as follows: familiar = legitimate = write a check...
My simple rule which, if you follow, will keep you from getting into any financial bind with a potential scammer, is this: Never, and I mean NEVER send money in order to receive money in return! You may even suggest to the 'scammer' that if he sends the money first that you will at least double his 'fee'... But first the money must be safely in your account and that he has no account information other than your name... Offer him a few thousand dollars or even more. Since you will be so rich, he should jump at this opportunity - if it is, in fact, real! But you can be sure, it most likely isn't!
This company actually does send you a credit slip worth up to $10,000 but, if you read closely and somewhat between the lines you will see that this is not a credit card in the same sense as a master or visa card is... It is a credit scheme which is good only for their own catalog items... Which, may or may not be of any worth to you... So, in this case, this is more deceptive than outright illegal in that it really does exist... But, the worst part of this deal is that once you send in that check to this or any other scam or deceptive organization you will be a marked victim! You will get inundated with both e-mail and postal offers such that you could become a wealthy person after all.By selling all that paper to a recycling house... Lol... But, seriously, the best thing to do before sending in any money is to check out the company on websites such as this... See what experience others have had... I think you will find that most of these solicitations are not worth the paper on which they are printed... Thanks. And good hunting for something worthwhile...
