CCACCA First National Card credit card fraud scam Las Vegas Nevada
I received a $6500 credit card from CCA that I did not apply for with my name and address printed on it. The paperwork states that, if I do not contact them to cancel, they will debit my checking account $199.99 for a membership fee.There is only one 800 number provided and it only allows you to activate the account. There are no human contacts.
I researched CCA online so that I may cancel the account and discovered the many fraud and scam stories of victims that have been stolen from.
Some say they did not provide their bank account info and do not know how CCA obtained it. Nevertheless, CCA continues to debit their accounts by using an alias and taking different amounts.
I called my bank to get advice and they say I can put a block on CCA or block the amount of $199.99 for a $35.00 fee, meaning $35 for the name, $35 for the amount, or $70.00 to block both. (I just love the idea of giving money so that it's not taken from me.) By the way, how do you block an unknown name and an unknown amount?
Watch out for :

Why call this company?

I received an identical offer from this company. I see nothing in the paperwork that indicates I need to call to opt OUT. The instructions say to call to accept and activate the card. I called their phone number and the only choices you get are "1 - activate" and "9 - end this call". I dialed 9 as I did not want to risk giving them any reason to justify activating the card. I cut the card into 50 tiny pieces and tossed it in the trash where it belongs. If this company tries to bill you for a service for which you did not apply or accept, that is fraud. Taking money from your bank account without authorization would be fraud and forgery.
