Apparently this company has just recently started with their financial molestation of their victims within the last six months. Just like everybody else, I too was victimized by these monetary perverts. As I stated earlier, this is something new. I looked to see if they had past reports in and, they didn't. The reports on the fraud started in May.
I was called by Jason I believe was his name, in July, and told that i would receive a $2400 credit line if i submitted a one time membership fee of $299. Being just 20 years old, it is nearly impossible to buy a new car or anything else that requires a credit history, so I figured "Why not?" I forked over my account number and other information. I was told the money would be taken out of my account in 12 days, and i should receive my credit card within 3-5 days from then.
After re-thinking this over, I contacted the manager at my bank... Bank of America... And notified her that i was suspicious of the company and their motives. She called the customer service line and spoke to someone about my situation. She said that they could TRY and put a stop payment on the "check by phone" that I used. I was told, "We aren't sure what will happen." "Maybe it will work." "Maybe it won't."
Well, I know now that I could have just closed my account and opened another one. Why wasn't I advised to do so by my bank? I decided not to wait on the bank to be "unsure." I called the CCR number that was given to me, and demanded a refund ASAP. They told me that it was approved, and it should arrive back in my account in 10 days. That was on August 9th. I called back on the 11th, and stated my situation again. I was told that it hadn't yet been approved and it should be completed in 15-30 days. I called back again on September 17th, they told me to call back on the 20th and they should have it "updated." I called back today... The 21st, you know it... Call back in 7 more days.
My response was not very... Shall we say "civilized." I said, "No no no no, I want Everest's phone number." The lady stated that they don't have a contact number for them. So I asked for an address, of course they didnt know that either. I hung up, and that's when I found this site.
When I saw the amount of rip offs they have done within the past six months, I smiled. Yes, I smiled. Do any of you realize the possibilities? Apparently there are sixty of us that have been victimized. Sixty people that have reported it on this site. Imagine how many more have NOT reported it. Sixty people, $299 each... Thats over 17,000 dollars that they have gotten from just us.
I know one thing is for sure. I may be only 20 yrs old, but I am looking for a lawyer. Shouldnt be too hard to find one. Not with all of these documented incidents, and the opportunity to make national media headlines for the investigation, prosecution, and eventually ultimate satisfaction from all of us. Any lawyer would jump on this opportunity.
