A couple of weeks ago I received a lovely credit card, promising no charges til with balance transfer options and notification that I was already approved. I should have know something was up when I called to begin using the card, they asked me a lot of questions which they should have know the answers to if they had already approved me.
Plus the limit was only $400 and they were not willing to change that. I did use the card to get a cash advance of $280 and a couple of days later, they debited my checking account for $299. It was difficult to track down who had done it because the phone number my bank had was not useable and the debit was listed as National Benefit, whatever the heck that means. I went to the bank and have filed a dispute/stop payment request and had to pay $15 for that, so now I am out $314, just before Christmas.
These weasels never mentioned charging my account in any of their communication with me and I think they should be thrown in jail. I would love to join with us to fight this ridiculous, sneaky scam.
