I am writing on behalf of my brother's 18-year-old girlfriend, who was taken in by this corrupt company. (She does not have access to the internet in her home, which is a testament to the degree of persuasive skill that the USA credit people must have, considering that this is supposed to be an internet credit card.) She gave them her checking account information; they withdrew $80 and sent her a voucher for $80, supposedly redeemable at the usashoppingclub site.
Last night April asked me to take a look at the voucher and told me about this credit card that she paid $80 for. She also told me that lately she's received several phone calls telling her she won a grant that she can collect after paying a $300 processing fee or some such nonsense. She said this "grant" caller has her checking account routing number, which alarmed her. I'm thinking that it is probably related to the USA Credit people.
I found this usacomplaints.com site online last night while researching the usashoppingclub company for April. Tonight we tried to order some things from the company using her voucher, and just as everyone here has said, we could not charge any of it. It all had to be paid in full because it was all on sale and not eligible for the USA Credit charge card, so she couldn't use the voucher, which can only be applied to charges. What a scam!
She's going to call the company and the Better Business Bureau on Monday. I don't know if she will be able to get her $80 back. If anyone has any information or advice on how she can get her money back from this company or if anyone is starting a class action suit against them, I have her contact information.
