Complaint Review: American Capital

I was contact by phone on June 5 2002 with someone saying that I was pre-approved for a Master Card, with a limit not less than $2000.00 and up to $4000.00.
I was told that I would receive my card within 2 to 3 weeks once they received my one time fee of $249.00, with an interest of 8%. Once they received my monies they would sent me an acceptance to sign & return. I spoke with a Mark who answered all my questions and than a Phil who was a verification supervisor and gave me my contract #.

Today is June 15, the monies was taken from my checking account last night, one day too late for me because it was just today that I decided to check them out on the internet and they came up as frauds. I tried calling my bank to stop the payment but they had already closed for the day.

I hope and pray to have better luck on monday morning. I really needed the money or card and because of this I let my guard down. I've been ripped off!
