Complaint Review: Avlis Travel

I was called in the first week of Nov from a man saying that i was approved for a mastercard with a credit limit with $2,500.Right before he began to explain, I grabed my tape recorder and put it to the phone.I recorded him telling me that the master card came with a free vacation,no interest until 5 years,and could be used anywhere mastercard was accepted.

All he told me I had to do was pay a $349.00 processing fee.So being that he made it sound so good, I went to gather my account info.After going over my account info with him,he set the date for 11/12/04 for the transaction to take place,then he transfered me to a verification officer.

The verification officer went over my account info again to make sure it was correct. I was given a contract#,and then just as we were about to hang up, I then repeatly asked him could the card be used anywhere; he replied yes,it can be used nationwide.

So a couple of days after the transaction was suppose to take place the money still was not debited from my account.I called to see why they hadn't debited the money yet. A lady told me it took 5-10 days. I told her nothing don't take 5-10 days, just cancel it.She told me that she will have to speak to management and she would give me a call back,but the b***h never called.
A few days later,11/22/04 I found out the money was debited anyway and after trying to call several times, I never was able to contact anyone. So basicly they stole my money.

WARNING!!! Thou shall not steal,Thou shall not kill,but when I find those Avlis folks I will.
