On 11-29-02 I was contacted by a copy calling themselves ICS. They were promising me an unsercured visa or mastercard with a credit limit of 2500.00. Having fallen vicitum to this scam already once with Royal Star Benefits (report on that company as well) I let them "sell me" went threw the whole conformation process with the "independent verification service" but this time I gave them the account numbers of the checking account I was forced to close (pissed me off, I had that account for 20 years) after the royal star scam so they can try and take money from that account til the cows come home.
The reason I went threw all of this is because it is now come to my attention that there are more then just a couple of companies which are running this scam. I want to make everyone aware of all that contact me. Although, I did not receive anything from this company and really I am not a customer I must call a spade a spade.
This was found on the BBB southeast flordia site: GOVERNMENT ACTION: On February 14 the United States
Southern District Court, Federal Trade Commission, case
0000596, filed complaint for Civil Penalties, Consumer
Redress, Permanent Injunction and other Equitable Relief

The FTC brings this action for violations of the Trade
Regulation Rule entitled Disclosure Requirements and
Prohibitions Concerning Franchising and Business Opportunity
