The company called me at the end of June saying that I would get a credit card with a limit up to $2500. All I needed to do was pay them $296 for all the paperwork and fees. They did an ACH DEBIT from my checking account on July 17. I was also told that I could do a cash advance when I got the card.
I finally got my package August 20 and there was no credit card enclosed, only flyers and junk mail. I called the company and was told that I could return the package and I would receive my full refund of $296 within a week. I have called several times only to be told that it will be a little longer because book keeping is running behind. The last time I called was on October 8 and talked with Eliame. She told me it would take at least 30 more days before I could receive my refund. I waited until December 1 because of the Holidays and talked with Eliame again. This time she informed me that there was nothing she could do because the company had filed bankruptcy.
I am sick about this as I have used my shops money to get this started and now I feel like a jerk for allowing myself to get caught up in this scam. The phone number I have was on my bank statement when the company debited my account in July.
I have learned to say NO when these type calls come in to my shop or home. I do hope that some day I'll be able to get my money back from these terrible people.
